XERO- XERO- HOW COULD YOU/SILLY?! YOUR LORD LUNAR AND SERVANT ECLIPSE POST HAS BEEN HOGGING MY BRAIN FOR THE PAST SIX HOURS!!

THEY ARE ROTATING IN MY BRAIN-

IT IS SO TRAGIC- IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL-

THERE'S SOMETHING SO EERY AND HAUNTING ABOUT IT-

A BROKEN GOD AND THEIR FAITHUL PRIEST. A BURNT OUT SUN AND A WITHERING EARTH, THAT SEEKS ITS LIGHT, DESPITE KNOWING, IT'LL NEVER BURN AGAIN.

THE WORSHIPPER, WHO HAS NOTHING, AND THUS CENTERS THEIR ENTIRE WORLD AROUND IT'S GOD. A GOD WHO LAYS ON A CRUMBLING PIECE OF LAND, UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN WAIT FOR THEIR END, YET STILL TRYING TO SOMEHOW REASSURE AND COMFORT THE ONLY ONE LEFT, THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES.

A BROTHER, A COMPANION, WHO BEGS, AND PLEADS, AND YELLS FOR HIS ONLY FRIEND, HIS ONLY REASON TO BE, TO WAKE UP AND DO SOMETHING. IT DOESN'T MATTER, WHAT. EVEN IF THEY TEASE HIM, AND CAUSE HIM TO RAGE, HE WON'T COMPLAIN, AS LONG AS THEY ARE STILL HERE.

A SHELL OF A PERSON, WHO, IN ANOTHER LIFE, WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO HEAR THOSE WORDS LEAVE THE OTHER'S MOUTH. WHO NOW CAN'T EVEN RESPOND, AND ONLY WATCH IN FADING DESPERATION, UNABLE TO CRY AND REACH OUT. UNABLE TO TELL HIM "I'm still here."

HE HAS LEFT THEM IN ANY OTHER WORLD, AND IN THIS ONE, THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE ONE TO LEAVE.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS/POS-

What messes me up even more about it is their relationship in canon.

They are not meant to be. They are always meant to be miles apart. They are always meant to hate one another, to bite and tear and rip each other apart. Their siblinghood, from the moment it was created, was doomed, not meant to last…

And yet.

They are still here, and they are together, and they care and love, and they beg for it to last.

In any other universe, Eclipse is meant to flash his teeth and leave.

In any other universe, Lunar is meant to long for something that can never be, until it becomes a part of them.

And yet, this time, this one time, it's different.

In this one universe, this single, crumbling place, they'll be at each other's side until the end.

This one time, Eclipse will stay, and instead of flashing his teeth, he'll cry and scream and embrace.

In this one universe, Lunar won't long for something unreachable, won't become a reflection of what they so despise. Instead, though they are unable to answer, they will know how much they were cherished and loved.

This one time, the spiteful creator, afraid of affection, worships and prays.

This one time, the creation, haunted by what they could never have, is worshipped and loved by the one they longed for.

This will be the first, and last time. This will be the only universe, where they mean everything to each other, where they are each other's worlds.

Had their situation been any different, they would kill one another. But as they are, they lay silently in the grass, waiting for the end, for one cannot fight, and the other sees no worth in a world without their god, the only person to get past their walls and reach for their hand.

And most tragically, no one will ever know them.

No one will ever know of their world.

No one will ever know, that they are capable of simply loving one another.

"Do you think we're brothers in another universe?"

No, They are not. They won't ever be again.

Their fates are intertwined endlessly, but it will always be twisted and cruel.

They are only brothers this one time. But maybe that's enough.

Maybe they are just happy, it was them.

HAJAHSJAHSJS!!!!!!! HAJAHSJAHSJANSJSHJSNDJS!!!!!!!!!!! YESYYEYSYED AHHHHHHH STARDUST YOU GET ME YOU GET MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

AND AHAHSGSJSBSJSGS DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON EVERYTHING YOU SAID ABOUT HOW THE CONTRAST WITH CANON I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT I'M GUNNA CRY /POS

THEY'RE A TOTAL OPPOSITE OF CANON..... Eclipse at Lunar's feet begging to hear something, anything, from them and Lunar only being able to watch no matter how hard they try...... They are right in each other's arms. There's nowhere else to go but they wouldn't leave if they could. Other Lunar and Eclipse duos could probably not even begin to fathom such a situation.....

GHBPHBBUEHEUUE AND,,, WHEUUEUE,,, AND AOAUGHH TGEYRE ONLY BROTHERS THIS ONCE,,,, BUT MAYBE THATS ENOUGH . MAYBE THEY ATE JUST HAPPY IT WAS THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
