#gingerpilotweek2023

My entry for #GingerPilotWeek2023 day two - "Post-Canon". Traditional medium - watercolour on paper.

First, a little private note from the person behind the account - so sorry I wasn't active these last few months! I'll add a comment about the why to this post if you're interested.

But first things first - I'm really happy to announce this year's GingerPilot Week! Co-hosted by the lovely @maudezbornak.

It runs from November 19 to 25. The themes will be a rerun of all the GingerPilot Weeks of the past, so you'll have plenty of topics to choose from!

Please share this post if you can!

All themes under the cut:

Post-canon

Hux is acting like half wild tooka in the rebel camp and Poe is up to the challenge.

"C'mon.. you want to try it?" Poe asked fourth time.

Hux looked down on the plate with pure disgust on his face.

"No."

"Hey.. it's good i promise. Better than ration bars. I am sure they will restock them but Hey… You have to eat something."

"It's bold of you to assume that i have to do something." Poe sighed. He sat down next to him taking a fork and moving it closer to his mouth.

"Just try?" Hux glanced at the fork and ate a bite. He ate whole plate then and walked out without a word. It would be fine with Poe but it was actually all his rations for the day…

****

"So… Let me… Let me get this clear…"

"There is nothing to get clear Poe! He just stabbed me! Without a reason! Fuck it hurts…"

"Take him to medical, guys." Poe turned around to face Hux. Who was absolutely unaffected by the situation "Do we really had to have a talk about stabbing people?"

"Do we really had to have a talk about how your people should keep their hands to themselves?"

"He told me that you stabbed him without a reason."

"Well General Dameron. You like to brag about how well you know me. Do i look like someone who stab people without a reason?" Poe sighed.

"Well so… Tell me what happened so i can…"

"No thank you. I can take care of myself." He walked off.

*****

Poe swallowed looking at Hux stretched on his bunk.

"Um… Hey Hugs." Redhead glanced at him immediately irritated.

"What?"

"That's… My bed. Not that i am complaining but…. "

"Oh since you are not complaining then what is it about?."

"I.. want to lay down."

"Go for it. It's your bed. As we already established."

"Huh. Right. So you… Are you staying?" Hux glanced at him turning off his datapad.

" Is that a complaint?"

"No! Not at all… Just… Well nothing. I would like you to stay. You are… Welcome." Hux smiled satisfied.

"You are welcome too."

Yeah. Since it's my bed. Poe thought but he quickly stopped thinking that night.

*****

"That's nice." Hux murmured as Poe was playing with his hair. Pilot smiled.

"Yeah? You good?"

"Mhm…" Hux nuzzled his neck and bit him. Poe yelped in surprise.

"Hey!" Hux just laughed under the breath and smiled sharply looking at him. "Did you just… Why did you just bit me?"

Secret Relationship

(one of the best flavours of gingerpilot if you would ask me)

Hux sighed putting on his uniform, he glanced down on the sleeping pilot. This man is going to be a death of his. He covered his shoulders with a coat and felt warm hand on his back.

" Woah. You look serious in that thing" pilot said quietly

Redhead snorted. Poe sighed tracing his back.

"I don't need to tell you that this is our…

"Last meeting? Yeah. I figured. Guessed you will be occupied with other things."

"You too." Poe cleared his throat.

"You know?" Hux snorted annoyed.

"Of course i know, commander Dameron. "He turned his head to look at him "i should arrest you. Here and now." Poe smiled.

"You would like that don't you..? Pull me naked from the bed, bring outside to one of your fancy shuttles? Put me in interrogation chair…"

"Stop that." He barked.

"Armitage."Poe sat up and pulled him closer. "You are a wise man. Can't you see that… "

"Stop. That. I have to go." Poe sighed hugging him "Dameron stop."

"Alright General." Poe let him go. " Forgive me that i won't wish you good luck. " Hux looked at the ground "but… Stay safe Armitage" he whispered.

"Don't let me kill you, Dameron."

"Well… Don't try and i will be fine."

" I can't promise that. The next time i see you i will act accordingly with regulations" he stood up taking his hat from a night stand. Poe sighed looking at him.

"Wait." He got up taking off ring from his neck and put it on Hux."Take it."

"No. It's…"

"It's yours. Always was, always will be. Even when it will become even harder." Poe kissed him. " If you ever think about… Leaving. Just contact me. I know you will find a way. I will help. No matter what you will do or what will happen. I will."

"You have no idea what are you talking about" Hux whispered.

"Yeah. I know. That's what love is about, right?." He smiled putting forehead on his shoulder. "Stay safe." He let him go and went back to bed. Hux stood there for a few minutes, he went to the door and froze.

"Poe?"

"Mhm?"

"Do you… Have someone in Hosnian system?" Poe looked at him in surprise.

"No… No i don't. I mean i know a bunch of people but no one close. Why?" Hux leaned on the door frame. "Armitage?"
