“Not that I'm not pleased to see you,” Hux whispers urgently, “but what are you doing? Are you here to disrupt the wedding?” Ben blinks, looking confused. “No?” Hux sighs. “Pity.”

MerMay is here, and so is the next installment of An Octopus Story in Eight Parts! Somebody Told Me (M, 4.5K, cw: arranged marriage, period-typical cishet bullshit)

Hey! Me and the absolutely fantastic @elderbwrry started a fic collab a few months ago, and we’re proud to show you the result today!

Do you like comedy? Pining? Teachers’ AUs? Shakespeare? Theater? Slow burns? Well, search no more, ‘cause this fic is what you’re looking for!

Man's right, this fic is what I was looking for.

A bit of a cruel idea, but hey. What is after Starkiller exploded, Hux was sent by Snoke to reconditioning as a failed general. Kylo, after waking form coma, was told Hux died on the planet and is okay with that if a bit disappointed. Time passes, plot follows as in movies on Kylo's side and he becomes a Supreme Leader, chases after Rey, etc. And then one night Kylo stalks the bowls of his flagship in a fit of sleeplessness and stumbles upon a thin, mousy technician with suspiciously red hair(1)

(2) He recognises Hux - and doesn't at the same time. This person is scared and frail and doesn't meet his eyes - but it's certainly Hux, even though he introduces himself as a number. Intrigued, Kylo does some investigating to discover what happened to the General. What he finds leaves him conflicted. He always found Hux pompous and ridiculous but this is unsettling... even though there is a kind of an enticing charm to the skinny frame and shy emotionality of this new Hux.

This totally sounds like you’re a genius and you’ve combined Domhnall’s character from Dredd--Techie--with Hux. Instead of a Hux brothers AU, this is a Hux Becomes Techie AU, in which reconditioning turns him into a shy, insecure technician with no memories of his former life--or rather, they’ve been conditioned out of him.

But as Kylo starts to spend more time with TC-0910 (or ‘Techie’ as Kylo calls him), does he start to fall in love with him or does he miss the old Hux? Do Techie’s memories start to come back with him as Kylo accidentally creates triggers that bring forth old memories and his old personality? I must know!

The first few times, Ren barely gets close enough to be sure TC-0910 is Hux, before the tech scurries off. He tries to mute his usual, threatening demeanour, keeping his steps soft and his expression neutral. Hux never needed that kind of consideration, never failed to meet boiling rage with unflinching ice.

When he finally corners TC-0910, the hunched man stumbles over the words 'Supreme Leader', shying away, unable to meet his-

Oh.

His eyes. They took them out.

Ren remembers Hux's eyes - sharp, cold, endlessly sneering, almost fanatical. These are... nothing. Mechanical. They whirr, when he grabs Hux by the chin, grip bruisingly tight just to stop him flinching away.

When Ren brings his other hand up, slowly, morbid fascination driving him to touch the red, inflamed skin around them, Hux whimpers, eyes squeezing closed despite the obvious pain it causes. He's shaking.

"Hux." The shaking gets worse, more like rattling.

"T- T- TC-09-"

Ren releases him, and the man instantly burrows into the darkest corner. Maybe his new eyes have night-vision.

Ren takes a deep breath, trying to think instead of reacting. He knows who Hux was. He knows what was done to him, mentally - though it appears there was also a physical component to the reconditioning.

He has to find out who Hux is now, if he's going to... Ren cuts himself off. He hasn't decided what he's going to do, beyond gathering information. But it's obvious he won't get more than a terrified stutter out of the man like this, as himself, as Supreme Leader...

He's going to need a disguise.
