tlj and tros are such a symbiotic relationship in being garbage bc tlj created a shit second entry therefore making it almost impossible for the trilogy to end well and then tros came along and tried to like. pander to and validate the absolute worst bad faith criticisms of tlj, while also doubling down on all its worst aspects. they made each other worse <3

My Chosen
I’ve seen The Mummy (2017) twice now because I absolutely love Ahmanet and her bad ass power and Tom Cruise can suck it. A re-occurring thing in the movie was when the mummy would call Nick her ‘chosen’ and I had thoughts swirling in my head about doing a drabble for mummy!Kylo with chosen!reader. It’s a bit short and I may make a series out of it, but let me know what you all think! Enjoy! <3

Your face was finally beginning to ache from all the smiling you were doing, never in your wildest dreams did you think you’d stumble upon anything this big. Your squadron was one of the most renown archeology departments on Naboo and served closely with the queen.
Your current task had been to excavate any remaining artifacts from the ancient empire only known as ‘The First.’ The heat was beginning to make you and your team slightly woozy when you came across something odd.
The decaying ruins of a once illustrious city yielded an abundance of hidden treasures, but one in particular had you utterly and entirely enthralled. After moving aside piles of rubble and cleaning endless waves of dust, the inner walls revealed what seemed to be hieroglyphs that continued down the dark hallway.
Your eyes scanned the images as you attempted to make sense of the faded bits, your fingers tracing the scene in front of you. The hieroglyphs seemed to speak of the legend of a once great prince named Kylo Ren who was the next in line to rule the galaxy. Odd, you’d never heard of him before in any of your readings or research.
He seemed to be of great strength and intelligence, gaining the love and trust of those around him and using it as knowledge that he would soon be worshiped as if a god in human form. His loyal protectors known as...what was that word...oh yes, The Knights of Ren were constantly at his beck and call and made sure his fighting skills lacked for nothing.
You rolled your eyes at the thought of how pampered this guy was.
‘A god in human form, a little extra don’t you think?’ You thought with a chuckle.
Your eyes skipped more down the wall as your feet carried you deeper down the corridor. It seemed that Ren’s Emperor, Emperor Vader, had found a more promising subject in the form of Ren’s cousin known as Rey.
Well this was interesting, it was always a well known fact that the princess known as Rey was to be the next in line to rule the galaxy all those centuries ago, but Kylo Ren was seemingly something that had been erased from history.
Your brow furrowed as your eyes scanned on, a gasp leaving your mouth in shock. If what the hieroglyphs were conveying what you thought, Ren had made a deal with a dark force only known as ‘Snoke’ in order to achieve his goals.
In exchange for the power to eliminate all who would take his future, Ren swore allegiance to the dark being without thought;stealing away into the night and murdering his cousin in her sleep. When he went to attempt the same with Emperor Vader, the ruler thwarted the Prince and his dark master with a curse.
Ren would indeed reap the benefits of endless dark power, but he would suffer for eternity under Snoke’s rule; never able to rest in death or rule successfully in life unless he earned his redemption through what could only be described as ‘the star.’
After dispatching the Emperor, Ren and his Knights were caught and brought forth before the gods; their fates decided by their crimes. Ren and any of his followers were to be mummified alive without any proper steps taken to ensure their passage into the after life. Ren had his tongue cut out and his eyes gouged so that none of his power would do him any good no matter what spirits he encountered in the after life.
After that, the images were ruined as if someone had etched out a crucial part of the story. By the time your eyes left the wall you realized just how deep underground you had wandered. You had ended up in a round chamber of sorts that held nothing but a stone pedestal in the center, a dark object resting on top of it.
You cautiously came closer only to realize that the object was in fact the hilt of a light saber, a very old light saber. The make was like nothing you’d ever seen before, but it was undeniably a saber. Something about the object pulled you in and held your attention, whispers and warmth swirling in your head in a coaxing manner. As if in a trance your hand reached out slowly, fingers just in reach when a voice jolted you.
“Y/N wait, don’t touch-” Your head turned, but your fingers had already grazed the hilt. Your assistant, Poe, stood with a horrified expression as your hand lay on the saber, the room beginning to rumble and shift; stone giving way to ancient machinery.
You snatched your hand back as the saber began to vibrate and the walls seemed to...liquefy into a smooth silver sheen that held no rust or decay. The saber levitated from the pedestal as it descended into the now metal floor, a red glow surrounding the hilt that quickly shot ahead of you into the final layers of stone.
The red light spread through the cracks of the wall, creating a pattern of swirls and lines until the stone split in half and dissipated into the metal work. The sight before you took every breath and nerve you had left; a perfectly preserved tomb that held what seemed to be a sarcophagus.
Poe’s mouth gaped at the transformation, his eyes taking in his surroundings as he walked up to you.
“Y/N...do you understand what this is?” His voice was breathless yet held a hint of caution. You nodded your head in awe.
“This has to be a tomb for royalty, everything is so precise and far too grand to be anything else.” Your eyes took in the elegant shapes and hieroglyphs that decorated the tomb, all leading up to the-
“Wait, why is the sarcophagus trapped like that?” Your brow furrowed as you noticed that the architecture wrapped around the ancient coffin as if it was an octopus trapping prey, the sleek metal wrapping around the dark stone with an etching of a screaming demon as its face.
Poe followed behind you at a slower pace and eyed the box cautiously, something wasn’t right here. Sure, the architecture was obviously made for royalty, but most of any royal line was buried together in a joint tomb that yielded treasures and provisions for the next life.
This tomb was barren except for the architecture and etchings, the only actual object was the sarcophagus made of black stone. That and the fact that it had a creepy face didn’t help his feeling. He began to read the etchings in the metal, not paying any attention to you or what you wee doing.
Your feet led you up to the sarcophagus until you could touch it with ease. Your fingers traced the metal wrapped around it, cool silver tingling your finger tips in small waves as your hand moved. Your fingers made their way up to the face of the sarcophagus, stroking just under the wide yet terrified eye gently.
“Wait...imprisoned for all time...living curse upon all...shit, Y/N this isn’t a tomb...” Poe’s  voice filtered in and out as your attention remained glued on the artifact in front of you.
A presence seemed to draw you in further as if you were being embraced, your eyes staring directly into those of dark stone. Your body felt lighter than air as the feeling of phantom arms wrapping about your waist dizzied you.
“...Ren...this was meant to imprison Kylo Ren!” Poe’s voice grew frantic when your vision flashed a bright white, your eyes closing tightly. At the feeling of a warm breeze swaying through your hair, your eyes opened to reveal a view of the decayed city.
Except the city was now thriving and beautiful, bustling with life and activity from all corners. You stood on what seemed to be a grand balcony that overlooked all, white marble gleaming under your feet and finger tips. Hearing gentle foot steps approaching from behind, you turned and nearly gasped.
The man coming towards you was quite possibly the most beautiful being you had ever seen. His dark hair was wild and falling just at his shoulders with  a few small gold beads decorated into thick strands, his already dark eyes were smudged with black coal and a small smattering of blue in the inner corners, he wore a long, flowing, black skirt with embellishments of gold made of silk that billowed as he walked, and his bare yet pale chest held small black markings that seemed to be painted on.
His lips curved into a gentle smirk the closer he got until he was chest to chest with you. His large hand came up to brush the hair from your face, skin tingling from his touch.
“My Chosen...” The ancient language rolled off his tongue yet you understood it as clear as day. His other hand skimmed slowly up your side, fingers catching skin just under your blouse and making your breath hitch. The warmth of the sun was nothing compared to the heat blossoming in your body.
Both hands met on either side of your face, holding you as if you were something infinitely precious.
“My Chosen... my Star,” His voice held all the wonder of the world, “You’ve come for me, at last.” His words barely registered to you as he brought his plush lips gently onto yours in a loving kiss.
Your eyes closed in bliss and another white light over took you until you were once again looking at the stone sarcophagus. You blinked your eyes in shock and brought your hand up to your lips only to feel what definitely was not skin.
You looked down at your hand to see the light saber clutched tightly in your fingers.
When the bloody hell had that happened?
You shook your head and clutched tighter to the saber before addressing Poe.
“Get the rest of the team,” You glanced again at the light saber and held your composure as it ignited in front of the sarcophagus, “We’re getting this back to the palace.” The metal surrounding the stone seemed to melt under the red glow of the saber until the sarcophagus was lowered fully to the ground.
“Hello, Kylo.” You whispered as Poe raced back to the rest of the team.
He really didn’t like this, not at all.
