Joining, in the Candlelight (成化十四年 | The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty)
It's been a long night, and all Sui Zhou wants is a bath and Tang Fan.

contains: marriage of convenience, pining, awkward domesticity, post-canon, minor finnrey

"I’m proposing an arrangement,” Poe says.
Hux is ghostly pale, even skinnier, with big dark circles under his eyes. He has this unpleasant nervous energy about him, frazzled. Being Supreme Leader does not suit him. “You can, if you wish, but don’t be disappointed by my lack of interest.”
“Oh, I think you’ll be interested.”

“It’s supposed to be soothing,” he says.
One of Hux’s eyebrows lifts fractionally higher than the other.
“Calming? Relaxing? Soporific?” Poe asks, sounding him out. “Are any of these words ringing a bell for you?”
“I’m intimately familiar with rain, thank you,” says Hux, his voice crisp, his face hard. “I simply disagree with your analysis of it.”
“Let me guess, you think it’s miserable and cold?” Poe guesses. “Hey, off-topic — you ever wonder if maybe you have an attitude problem?”

rating: explicit
contains: pwp, rough sex, hair-pulling, face slapping, uniform kink
Every few months Poe found himself purchasing a room on some neutral, nondescript planet, waiting for Hux. He was very clear on what this was, and what it wasn't. It wasn't like he even really liked Hux; he just liked the sex.
He didn't know why he felt cheap anyway.
