Star Wars Flashmeme Amnesty #2

[sholio]

I was going to start an Amnesty Challenge next week anyway, but since I'm a day late getting this up, rather than give you an extra short writing week, let's do Amnesty Challenge #2! You may write for any prompt already posted:

Strange New World
Force
Escape
First Time
Family
Space
Underground
Kids
Ghost
Running Away
Food
Sacrifice
Alternate Universe

Post in the comments to this entry as usual. Amnesty will run for two weeks instead of the usual one, so this will go until Saturday, May 7.

Rules in brief:

1. All Star Wars canons are welcome, as are non-fic fills. Anonymous fills are fine.

2. Post your fic in a comment to this entry or post it elsewhere and link to it. Headers/warnings are not required, but are suggested. New canon (new episodes, comics, etc) should have spoiler warnings for a week, and after that, no warnings are needed.

• Flashmeme collection on AO3 (feel free to add your fics!)
• Full rules post
• DW formatting help for making italics etc if you post your fic in a comment

Summary:

A warm breeze wafted over the yard, gently swaying the paper streamers hung from tabletops and trees. Evening was approaching, but the light was slow to fade, leaving the party lit with a gentle glow that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.

Poe sat in his birthday seat in the center of the party, now playing with a couple toy ships someone had given him, cake crumbs sitting unnoticed in his curly hair.

Having computer troubles, but I totally have something! Shall be posted asap

"Burdened With Glorious Purpose"
(the Force Awakens)
Rating: G
Characters: Hux, Ben Solo/Kylo Ren
Relationships: none

When Hux first met Ben Solo, he was a lonely, awkward teen hearing voices in his head, and he was utterly lost.

It was unpleasant to consider. Hux had never been lost before. He'd grown up under Snoke's teaching and leadership. He had a Purpose, and he was proud of it. Until Ben, he has just assumed that everyone had a Purpose. It came as a bit of a shock to find that this was not the case. How could someone live their whole life without one?

Considering what Ben had managed to do with his life was so far, Hux realizes that was part of the problem.

As soon as he realized this, Hux made it his personal (secret) mission to find Ben his Purpose. It would have to be within the First Order, naturally. There could hardly be true Purpose in the universe outside of that. Maybe Ben could be his protégé! Now there was an idea. To stand at the head of Snoke's armies with Ben at his side...Hux knew he could be a great leader, and maybe this boy could help.

--

When Hux first met Kylo Ren, he was still lanky and awkward, and he was ordering him around. Hux could hardly believe it. Something had gone terribly wrong with his plans somewhere, because instead of coming under his wing like he was supposed to, Snoke had whisked the boy away and started filling his head with thoughts of power and magic and Purpose, and the kid who had called himself Ben seemed to think that meant the universe owed him something.

It wasn't fair at all; suddenly Ren was the new favorite, Snoke's choice pet that he was grooming for great things. Hux's training was delegates to other teachers, and less and less attention was spent grooming him for his Purpose.

In response, Hux worked harder than he'd ever worked before. He worked harder than everyone. If Snoke thought that the dark, whining stray kid he'd brought in would ever replace Hux's skill or leadership or results, he was mistaken. Hux was always going to be the best, he just had to prove it to him.

It was, after all, his Purpose.
