Truth. There's another one down below talking about all the fangirls going to be crying over the name and it's like...why? No one mentioned fangirls. Hux is gonna Hux to me, so whatever first name he has is like meh. Big deal.

Definitely seconding off screen after thought kill. I actually wouldn't mind reading the Kylux fic that could come from that. Where Kylo expects Hux to be there (maybe there was a surprise attack and the fleet got scrambled) and is annoyed that Hux is late, and then finding out later that Hux had been killed as an afterthought in an unremarkable way but it's not worth it to collect the body of a General who doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. Here's Hux's replacement, get on with your mission.

And Kylo, hm, maybe he's first in denial because Hux can't be dead and he certainly can't be dead in such a mundane, ordinary, disgraceful way. Then there's just furious rage. Nothing dramatic or weepy or extra angst or anything, but that rage hardens and crystallizes into well honed power because if Hux can't be there then Kylo will make sure his death wasn't for nothing.

...or something. Anyway, super curious about what the future holds. *Drifts off the scribble some fic notes.*
