Summary

“Hey, you alright?”

Dazzle shook her head,

“I-i know…it’s late…and I am not…supp- supposed to be awake. But…But”

He stopped himself from taking another step closer, as she ducked her head down. More tears were obviously falling.

“But…I…I..is…Is Sun home?”

or continue below the read more line

He blinked open his eyes with a groan. He had fallen asleep on the couch waiting for his brother. With Dazzle and Jack moving in, the need to buy groceries had increased dramatically. His brother of course had plans to buy some food, but a portal malfunction had sent them both away for most of the day.

They just didn’t have the time to do anything else, But they would still need the food in the morning with his own increased appetite as well as Dazzle’s growing one. Sun said he would just do some bulk shopping now at the weird kmart that was always open. So they wouldn’t have to come back for a few days.

He had just been waiting up, maybe a little bit paranoid about his brother's safety with the portal shenanigans happening today. But he was gonna do better and not demand that he stay. It would make Sun feel better and not do something stupid like sneak out. And this way, someone was home with Dazzle and Jack as Lunar was out dealing with something astral-related.

He heard a creak of stairs and he sat up straight, wondering if that was what woke him up in the first place. Switching on his old security programming. Getting off the couch as softly as possible so it didn’t make a sound. He tried to sneak towards the stairs.

That was until he heard a soft quiet sob. As he quickly shut the protocols off, his chest filled with a whole new kind of dread and softly called out.

“Dazzle?”

He heard a soft gasp that confirmed his suspension, So instead of being quiet, he made sure the bells on his outfit let out a little ding as he approached, as he turned the corner and saw the little animatronic deer halfway down the steps. Holding onto the bannister tightly. Her eyes were wide and filled with tears. Along with the signs of tears tracks.

His chest clenched harder. Old protocols long abandoned and unused were trying to make him run towards her. Scoop her up and soothe her. To calm her down. He fought them down, not wanting to scare the poor kid.

He grabbed the bannister pole.

“Hey, you alright?”

Dazzle shook her head,

“I-i know…it’s late…and I am not…supp- supposed to be awake. But…But”

He stopped himself from taking another step closer, as she ducked her head down. More tears were obviously falling.

“But…I…I..is…Is Sun home?”

She changed her sentence, and fuck if the whole scene. Had not already shaken at his cold heart, to hear her so brokenly ask for his brother certainly did it. There was another sob

“I knocked on his door, but he didn’t answer….and then I went in to see if he was sleeping. I know I sho-should wait..bu-but…I was scared..and I just…”

Her hands let go of the railing and started scrubbing her eyes and sobbing. Before he knew it he was up the few steps to reach her, crouching down in front of her.

“Hey, now. You did nothing wrong, Dazzle. Why were you scared?… Did you have a bad dream?”

Dazzle nodded

His fans vented out some air of relief. Happy it was nothing more serious.

“Sun should be home soon, wanna sit with me and wait for him?”

Maybe he should tell her it was okay. Or find out what the dream was. But Sun was better at handling that sort of stuff. He could put kids to sleep. But…he hadn’t done so in a very, VERY long time. And besides he didn’t want her to feel bad for trying to seek help. He’ll ask Sun how to handle this in the future if it happens again.

For now, he could at least distract her.

“R-really, I am not in trouble…for being up after bedtime?”

He shook his head, and gently reached out for her hands taking them away from her face and squeezing them softly

“No, of course not. Why don’t we watch something, hmm? Anything you want, While we wait.”

He gently encouraged her to move down the stairs, and they slowly made their way back to the couch he had initially fallen asleep on.

“Could we watch Bluey? “

“Of course, we can Dazzle,”

“And you are not gonna ask about my nightmare?”

“That is up to you if you want to tell me, but I think you'd rather tell Sun first right?”

Dazzle made a little hum. As she climbed onto the couch he turned on the TV. He grabbed a blanket that was tossed over one of the chairs and warped it around her. And she blinked at him, surprised.

“No reason to be cold while waiting, Is there an episode you want to watch?”

He asked her as he turned on their TV and navigated towards the streaming service he thought held Bluey…he hoped he had remembered it correctly.

“The one where they call their cousins on the tablet? I think it’s pretty funny. Muffin reminds me of Jack sometimes”

He laughed at her remark, and he was happy to see the corners of her mouth move up slightly too. He nodded as he sat down scrolling through the shows,

“And Dazzle?”

“Y-yeah?”

“If there is anything else you want, just ask, okay. I’ll do my best to get it. No problem”

Dazzle went quiet, and he let out a little sigh of relief as he saw the show pop up. He sat back on the couch again,

“Moon?”

He paused before pressing play and turned to face the small deer. There were still some tears in his eyes, and she looked a bit unforgettable. As if scared. Soothing out his voice the best he could

“Yes, what is it?”

“Can I…can I sit in your lap so…so that..so that I know I am safe from the monster”

The question almost made him feel like he got slapped in the face. But he was somehow quick enough to answer her with a calm tone.

“Of course you can.”

He shifted back more, and after some awkward bit of shuffling, he was holding the deer animatronic to his chest. One arm wrapped around her middle to keep her secure, as he pressed play to start the show.

He had planned to just absentmindedly watch the children's show. But right now his thoughts were more focused on Dazzle. She had clearly taken a shine to Sun, people having already joked here and there. That his brother had basically adopted her and become a parent.

Sun also didn’t seem to deny this statement. But would correct people if they called him her father. If he knew his brother, that was because he didn’t want to replace her actual father. Who might still be out there. Even if he never knew what had become of his daughter. Sun wouldn’t want to take his place.

In the time that Dazzle had been here. They had gotten closer too, not strange as they lived together now. But he didn’t think she trusted him this much. He was still kind of a stranger to her.

She listened if he asked something, but he didn’t think she trusted him like this. Of course, it was because Sun was not here. But still. He was doing something right at least if the kid didn’t hate him.

As the episodes went on, Dazzle slowly went from still crying a bit, to being calm. occasionally laughing at the show but still feeling quite tense. Whatever her dream had been, it clearly was still on her mind.

Slowly ever, so slowly he raised his free hand and started to calmly run it over her back in a soothing motion. Dazzle let out a purely mechanical chirp, which he responded to in a soft croon. And with every swipe, he felt Dazzle lean more and more against him.

He tilted his head down and saw her slowly close her eyes. Slowly nodding off. He wasn’t sure how to feel about that. If he should let her fall asleep or keep her awake. Either way, he’d tell Sun what had happened. IT was scratching an old itch somewhere deep in his code though, seeing her fall asleep.

The show stopped playing with a ‘Are you still there’ message appearing on screen. Then suddenly, from deep inside his chest, a soft lullaby started playing. It surprised him, he didn’t think he’d still have the music box installed in his chest.

But Dazzle didn’t seem to mind, slowly seemingly falling into a deeper sleep. As he tugged the blanket around her more securely she mumbled something.

“Go to sleep kid, I’ll keep you safe until Sun is here”

“Okay, thank you, Uncle Moon”

His eyes widened, as he pulled the air across his fans in a gasp. Dazzle falling into a deeper sleep. He tried to think, tried to process. But all he could do was stare forward,

UncleMoonUncleMoonUncleMoonUncleMoon

Repeating over and over again inside his head. He had never been anything other than a brother. And that he had screwed over big time. He was still repairing his relationship with Sun. Lunar was still distant from him and was still in the process of getting to know Earth.

So too have this new title, suddenly thrown in his lap. He wasn’t sure what to do with it. He moved to keep gently stroking the child's back. Maybe…maybe it was a good thing. Something to start completely clean.

A relationship he didn’t need to repair or start over. Or attached to the baggage of his other self. No…he could be an uncle. He would be the best damn uncle there was.

He heard the front door open, and his brother struggled with dragging in the groceries. But the second Sun spotted him he left the bags in the foyer to come closer. And he could hear the cameras go off behind his eyes.

He raised his eyebrow at him, but considering he did the same when Dazzle stayed the first night. He supposed he couldn’t complain. He texted his brother so as to not wake Dazzle with their voices.

‘She just fell back asleep, nightmare, was looking for you’

His brother's emotes went through several different ones, not being able to settle onto one. As he slowly moved closer.

‘Jack not here?’

He got a text back, and he sent a shrug emoticon back. As Sun stood beside them, adjusting the blanket around Dazzle onces before pulling back

‘Did she say anything about the nightmare’

He carefully shook his head

‘Only something about a monster when she asked for me to hold her’

Sun let out a soft crooning noise,

‘We’ll see if she remembers when she wakes up, anything else?’

He hesitated for a brief second. Not sure what he should say, but he needed Sun’s opinion on this as her primary caretaker.

‘She called me Uncle Moon’

Sun let out a soft gentle whirr as he hesitated to meet his brother's gaze.

‘I’m not surprised’

Was the text he got, and heard Sun let out a nervous chuckle.

‘If you don’t want her to call you that, you can ask her to stop’

‘NO’

He texted back a bit too quickly and he saw Sun basically whip his head around to face him. As his face started to glow lighty feeling embarrassed.

‘I’m okay with it, just wondering if you were’

Sun moved his hands around like he did when he was spluttering and having a hard time getting his thoughts out. Eventually, he got a text

‘Not really up to me…it’s her choice’

He gave his brother a stare, the same one he always did when he felt like his brother was understating how much he meant to Dazzle. And how much the little girl had grown on his brother as well. He wasn’t lying when he told Sun that he was a good parent to the children he took care of. Not only in the daycare.

He got why Sun hesitated to take the title of Dad. But as far as he was concerned. Sun was her parent. And Sun, despite his nerves knew this too and took that role seriously.

Sun faltered slightly before letting out a deep sigh.

‘I have nothing against it. Just be sure to fulfil that role as best you can'

He felt a slight pang of hurt at the text. Knowing how much he still had to make up to Sun for. That his brother was at least a little bit afraid he might hurt her as he did him.

‘I have every intention to, could you maybe later teach me how to better handle it if she gets a nightmare again?’

‘I think you did pretty good Moon, if she fell asleep on you’

He gently stroked Dazzle’s back once more who had been sleeping soundly but he could still feel that she was not as relaxed as she could have been.

‘I think that was more exhaustion, I think she’d been crying longer than it took her to get out of her room. I wish I could have calmed her more before she fell asleep. Cause it doesn’t feel like she’ll get a restful one’

Sun nodded with a sad expression.

‘Okay then, I see what I can do…I’ll put the groceries away now’

He gave a nod and listened to the sounds his brother made as he put everything away. As well as focusing on the quiet breaths of the animatronic in his arms. She twitched once and he made some soft shushing noises. Glowing again as he realised that his music box had still been playing.

But now that Sun was home, he felt something relaxed inside of him. His own eyes fell shut once more, Sun bustling becoming a background noise. He didn’t realise he was falling asleep. Until he felt the click of a charging cable being put into the back of his head. With another quiet click, he assumed the same was done to dazzle. There was something being wrapped around his shoulders and he felt too warm and toasty to open his eyes again.

The couch dipped slightly beside him. A hand softly squeezing his shoulder gratefully, as he heard Sun murmur something softly to Dazzle he couldn’t understand.

‘Thanks, Moon, for taking care of her’

Came a final text, and he couldn’t help the odd sense of pride at it.

Seems he had gotten a niece. hah…A niece. Never thought that would happen. He squeezed her a bit closer. He was gonna be the best damn uncle he could be. He didn’t have to worry. He was sure his brother would help him. He wasn’t gonna fuck up another family relationship.

He felt Sun’s head hit the edge of his shoulder, seemingly having fallen asleep himself.

They got this.

He was sure of it

Would anyone still be interested in my Sun-centered sams fic.. or should I just drop it entirely..?

[kingxgarm]

A very special birthday

An OG Eclipse oneshot, for his birthday

"Today... why did it have to be today!?" Eclipse mumbled to himself as he walked to the center of the forest. His magic coursing through him. He was going to need it.

It was the day when the connection would be strongest. Where he could have the clearest communication. He really needed to talk to him…

After finally making his way to the perfect spot, the strongest spot, he stopped and dropped to his knees. Eclipse put his hands to the ground, directing his magic beneath the earth, beneath this plane of existence.

“Hear me, spirits. I wish to call upon one of you. I have experience with death herself. I am worthy of you. Come to me. I call to you, Eclipse.” Eclipse bent down to a bowing position. It would help draw him out.

A flash of light appeared as the ground began to glow. A chuckle could be heard in his own voice, but he knew it wasn't coming from himself.

“Well, well, well… I've never had anyone bow to me before. I have to say… I’m flattered you bothered.” Looking up only slightly but still appearing as low as possible, he saw what looked to be Sun’s feet, but… very different. Glowing. A bright gold. Too bright, in his opinion.

“Get up, let's get this over with.” Eclipse got up as quick as possible. He stared down at the original Eclipse. He was the same height as Sun, which was jarring.

It was very strange for the original, high, and mighty Eclipse to be… shorter. There was one major difference setting them apart, proving that the spirit before him was superior. He was very bright. Blinding almost. His golden skin glistened. His electric blue eyes felt like daggers they way they pierced Eclipse with his stare.

“Not even going to wish me a happy birthday? You should know I expect cake and party hats.” The spirit chuckled. For some reason, his carefree nature scared Eclipse. Maybe it was just the concept of standing in front of the original… The one who began and ruined his life…

“You don't talk much, do you?” The spirit cocked his head.

“No, I… just…”

“Intimidated?” The spirit smiled evily.

“No. I'm just thinking… I really needed to talk to you.” Eclipse's rays flared. Drawing back into his head before shooting out and reflecting downwards. He often got upset that he couldn't control his rays, but his emotions could.

“You have my full attention, copy.” The name cut deep for Eclipse coming from the original, but he already knew it was true.

“I want to know… everything. You're the Eclipse I have the most fragmented memories of. I want the full story. From very beginning to the end.” Eclipse's rays changed direction again. Embarrassed, he decided to ignore it from then on.

“That's quite an ask. Does this have something to do with… Lunar?” The spirit stopped smiling, but from his tone, you'd think he was.

“He's not the main reason, but I do think I deserve to know. It would make me a better copy, and that's all I want from you.” It sounded pathetic, but all Eclipses have experience with being pathetic. This one would understand.

“Really, now? I've been watching you Eclipse, and I have to say… At first, I was deeply disappointed… but now-” Eclipse interrupted the spirit.

“You're angry… I know I'm not like you at all… but-”

“Ha! You really think you know me better than I do? You really ARE trying to copy!” The spirit laughed a deep, bellowing laugh.

Eclipse sighed. This wasn't going anywhere.

“No. Now I feel… almost jealous, if I'm being honest.” Eclipse looked down at the spirit. Jealous?

“You are giving yourself the chance that I threw away, that I never really had. You have the opportunity at something greater. I don't really care if what you do next is evil or in Sun and Moon’s best interest. You're better than them. You're an Eclipse. You're better than everyone.”

It wasn't what Eclipse was expecting to hear, but… it did help. To hear the original Eclipse, the best Eclipse, say all this. It was… different.

“Now I wish I brought you a cake.” Eclipse smiled. “If you follow me back to the pizzaplex, I'll get you one.”

“I might take you up on that offer. We can walk and talk about… whatever you want, I guess.” The spirit shrugged but smiled back at Eclipse.

“Ok.” Eclipse began to walk away, but the spirit didn't follow.

Love is given, not taken. Love can be received, if the seeker wishes it. Or so Jigsaw thought.

But what if they were denied, because of what they did? Something irrefutably heinous, that they’re barred from such love. To them, this might’ve been forever.

Well, despite what everyone thinks, only one person (or animatronic) thinks that he’s still worth giving.

For Solar, sometimes showing a little bit of love is all you need.

In other words, Solar found his (secret) idiot partner wandering in the daycare, confronts him and the two hash it out with their lips lmao.

Transformations, Issues and Promises

Chapter 1

Word count: 6,983

Status: complete

Summary:

“An hour or Two?! Moon! We can’t stay like this for two hours, we had plans!”

He hated to agree with Sun, and the way he bristled after seemed to confirm Moon had only rolled his eyes at him.

“You two are fine, no one will bet an eye at this,”

He turned the other two out, trying to school his angry expression into something calming…or neutral at best.

“You haven't blinked this entire time…are your optics frozen?”

or

Cygni and Sun get transformed against their will, Cygni's reaction to it is....bad

Read it on AO3

or read down below

He looked down into the daycare as he got to the top of the stairs. Cygni and Sun were still idly talking before leaving for the mall. Cygni spotted him and waved, he waved back. Then he went into the theatre in search of Earth.

The bag with his knitwork slung loosely by his side. He had surprised himself that he had been able to finish the sweater at all. He just needed Earth's opinion on it before he could give it to Cygni. He raised an eyebrow at the fact that Solar wasn’t behind the theatre desk but thought nothing more of it and went into the theatre room itself.

He frowned, not seeing the giant green animatronic anywhere. Maybe she was running late? It would not be the first time, he rested against one of the chairs. Deciding to play an idle game on his HUD to pass the time. Tugging Idly at the t-shirt he was wearing with his claws. Still felt weird to wear one, but Earth would be happy to see him wear the gift she got him.

He was about halfway through his game of solitaire when he heard an odd sound. It was somewhat dampened. He closed his game and straightened up to pay better attention. Yet it stayed quiet for several seconds. He was about to pull his game out again when there was a different sound, something much louder.

Wondering back toward the theatre doors, he got his answer about halfway, letting out a sigh of annoyance when he recognized it as Sun’s screeching yells at his brother. He was about to turn back around when he realised that Cygni was still there.

Cygni was no stranger to the shouting that could happen between the brothers, but…it couldn’t hurt to check, maybe Earth would find it important to check out anyway. As the shutter opened once more he could finally make out the words.

“MOON, STOP YOUR WHEEZING AND CHANGE US BACK I DO NOT WANT TO BE A DEMON “

“BUT YOU LOOK SO GOOD THOUGH! “

“I DON’T CARE CHANGE ME BACK! “

He signed and rolled his eyes, it was always something, if it wasn’t the portal, I would be an experiment. He glanced down into the daycare. He couldn’t see Sun or Moon, who were likely near the security desk. He couldn’t see Cygni either…that was until he saw a figure standing under the bridge in the shadows of the play structure. He was standing very still,

A little too still...

Panic came over him and his bag slid from his hand landing on the floor with a thud, he jumped over the railing so he could skip one flight of stairs and ran towards the big wooden doors.

When the doors opened, the first thing he saw was Sun, several inches off the ground, with two giant, red bat-like wings flapping angrily, and a red tail swishing around annoyed as hell. He had been obviously yelling at a Moon who was trying to hide his laughter.

The smile dropped from his face once he noticed he had walked in.

“What are you doing here?”

“I could hear your shouting in the fucking theatre, What the hell is going on here”

“None of your business, didn’t you have to go anyway”

He ignored the lunar animatronic, to look for Cygni near the bridge. His non-existing heart shot to his throat as he saw him.

Cygni's eyes were wide, and his eyelights were just two yellow pinpricks. You couldn’t even see that it was its yellow ring just two dots. Cygni also had gained a set of wings that were folded back as far from his body as possible, smaller than Sun’s and instead of red, a dark black. There was a tail hovering in a circle around his legs. Two of his top rays had gotten longer and were now coloured a crimson red.

He rushed forward coming to a stop close to his friend. Who’s gaze didn’t shift, still just staring forward, his hands holding onto his upper arms, claws digging into the paint of his still mechanical arms. He bit back the enormous amount of rage that was pooling up inside of him. Smothering the fire as best as he could, he dropped his voice.

“Cygni? Hey…can you hear me?”

The sun animatronic didn’t move, no indication he was heard at all. It was like he was invisible.

There was a scoffing noise coming from Moon.

“Overprotective much? He is fine, he walked there on his own, probably just embarrassed, which you aint helping with, They should turn back in an hour or two”

It took everything in him to bite down the hot boiling anger that was threatening to make him rip off Moon’s casing. How dare he even imply that he didn’t know his best friend. He signed once hard through his nose, as he tried to ignore it. Cygni is what's important right now, So he focussed on the still scared bot in front of him as he heard Sun behind him

“An hour or Two?! Moon! We can’t stay like this for two hours, we had plans!”

He hated to agree with Sun, and the way he bristled after seemed to confirm Moon had only rolled his eyes at him.

“You two are fine, no one will bet an eye at this,”

He turned the other two out, trying to school his angry expression into something calming…or neutral at best.

“You haven't blinked this entire time…are your optics frozen?”

Still no response, and he was really starting to worry. An ice-cold fear slowly creeps through his chest, and he reaches out a hand trying to stop Cygni from destroying his paint any further.

But as he still got no reaction as he got closer he stopped, not wanting to spook his friend. There was a sound of anxious wings flapping behind him. It looks like the sun animatronic didn’t have full control over his wings, but he had come closer all the same

“Cygni? You okay? “

Still no response, he glanced to the side and saw the same rapid understanding build on Sun’s face. Coming to the same conclusion he had, he rounded on his brother.

“Moon, you gotta change him back now!”

Moon threw his hands up exasperated.

“You two are overreacting, stop crowding him and he’ll be fine. “

The anger was back, engulfing him like a flame and he couldn’t smother it down anymore. Rounding on his heels to glare at the lunar animatronic who was looking unimpressed. Only raising an eyebrow when his rays started to angrily rattle in their housing and steam pluming from his shoulders.

“YOU DENSE FUCKER, HE’S NOT EMBARESSED HE IS CLEARLY FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. “

Moon’s gaze transformed into a hateful glare

“ STOP BEING SO DAMN PROTECTIVE OF HIM, HE CAN MAKE HIS OWN CHOICES”

His teeth snapped harshly at the lunar animatronic, how dare he! How fucking dare he. HE is letting him make his own choices. That’s all he ever wants for Cygni, he fucking knew Moon didn’t believe it. Just because the choices he sees don’t align with his views doesn’t mean they aren’t his own.

“Brother, he is clearly freaking out, just reverse it for him please”

“Not you too Sun”

He was about to step forward, intending to grab the lunar animatronic and drag him to the desk so either he or himself could fix this. But a sound from behind him stopped him, a little burst of static, and he rounded around once more.

Anger already forgotten at the broken sound. There was now oil pooling at the bottom of Cygni’s eyes. Pupils were still little pinpricks and not looking at anything but the wings had started trembling ever so slightly.

“Hey, hey Cygs? It’s alright…”

Taking half a second to debate the choice again, he took one of the shaking hands into his own.

“I’m right here, you see? Are you with me?”

No reaction again, the lunar animatronic was now suspiciously quiet, and Sun’s wings kept flapping anxiously lifting him off the ground even higher.

“Buddy? Can you hear us?”

Sun asked nervously, coming a little closer, but trying not to crowd the other sun model. At least he seemed to have some semblance of a brain.

“Cygs?”

He gently squeezed the hand he was holding. Again nothing

“Dusty?”

The little pinpricks of eyes got a little bigger, just enough to notice. A hesitant squeeze back at his hand. As he heard the rasping voice of Moon mumble confused

“Dusty?”

He held the hand a little tighter.

“You are safe Dusty…promise”

He let his voice drop to something low, in a tone he saved for when they were alone. He fought with his glow as he knew the lunar animatronic behind him was seemingly judging his every move. There was a blink, a single streak of oil dripping down Cygni’s face

“Oh…fuck”

Oh, now the bastard realises that things were fucked.

Shutting down the door on his anger as hard as he could, He kept his gaze locked with Cygni’s and opened his mouth for another reassures but only to be cut off

“C-clips?”

He let out a relieved breath and heard Sun do the same beside him

“Y-yeah, yeah it’s me”

Then finally the far-away look passed, and it seemed like his friend finally. FINALLY saw him.

“S-stop”

Just like that, it was like a bucket of ice had been thrown over him again. Swallowing down the hurt, and carefully not looking at what would be Moon’s very smug face. He nodded and let go of Cygni’s hand,

“N-NO!”

Cygni staggered forward, finally stepping out of the shadows of where he was hiding. Almost falling over his new tail but just about steading himself with a painful winch. Both of Cygni's hands had shot forward and were now desperately holding onto his shirt with a finger and thumb. He could feel the fabric tugging at his collar but that didn’t matter.

What mattered more was the way Cygni was trembling, clearly upset and afraid.

“M-meant…s-stop…this…stop…want it t-to stop…want..want to be me…please…make it stop”

Hearing the near-broken cries, he decided he didn’t give a fuck, and as gently as he could, he wrapped his arms around his friend, tugging him into a hug.

“It’s okay…you’re okay. Got you, I am sure Moon is trying to fix this as we speak”

He growled out the last part as he turned his most hateful glare at the lunar animatronic who was looking a mix of guilty and pissed. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but stopped as he noticed the shakes of Cygni’s body. The guilt grew on his face and turning towards the security desk and typing away. What he didn’t see was the little spots of oil that now appeared on his shirt

He didn’t mind, he would make his friend feel as safe as he could. Even if that meant tabling his desires to rip Moon’s head off his shoulders for another day. Instead, he gave soothing strokes on Cygni’s lower back. Cygni kept shaking, but it felt like he was trying not to cry. To fight the tears that had already escaped.

“Cygni?”

Sun’s voice was soft and worried, and he felt his own glare soften too. He was glad Sun had stood up for Cygni, Still kinda mad that it had taken him so long to notice. But he blamed him a lot less than Moon. He knew how scrambled the processes can get after you get forcibly transformed.

Also, he knew from being in Sun’s head how comfortable Sun was in his own skin and how he hated to have his body altered. So he wasn’t as mad. Cygni still seemed to flinch away from his voice, and to his surprise, Sun took a step back

“Anything I can do to help?”

Cygni stayed quiet, then eventually gave a tiny shrug.

“I understand”

Sun said softly, then those snow-white eyes met his own. Seemingly saying.

‘I know you got him’

An idea came to him.

“Sun, could you keep people out of the daycare….I don’t think Cygni wants anyone else to see him like this…Earth was supposed to meet up with me….so she might come by…and as much as I know she wouldn’t make a big deal about this”

He gently squeezed his friend, and Sun nodded

“I understand, I can do that.”

Sun met his twin's gaze who seemed to be half glaring, probably thinking he was making choices for Cygni again. He didn’t care what he was thinking.

The other golden bot stopped near the security desk,

“You fix this brother”

“Yeah…working on it”

“Good, I better not hear any yelling from either of you, he is going through enough”

Even though he was being told so as well, it seemed the words were more directed at his twin as Sun didn’t break his gaze.

“Got it…”

“Good”

Then Sun was out the door and it was just the three of them left in the daycare. He turned his face back, Softly nuzzling the top of his rays. He hated that his back was turned to Moon but Giving comfort was more important, He made sure to stay as far away from the new additions to Cygni’s body as possible as he continued the comforting strokes down his back.

He could feel every trembling breath his friend was taking. He kept his voice low, as he kept whispering soft reassures against the top of Cygni’s head. There was nothing more to do than wait now.

“Clips?”

He squeezed his friend a little harder at hearing the nickname. He hadn’t heard him this broken in a long while

“Yeah? What do you need”

There was a tiny shake of the head.

“Just…thanks..”

He pulled back a little, looking him in the eye

“No need to thank me, “

He intended to say something more. Something kind that Cygni could focus on. Instead, he heard something behind him. So he pulled Cygni close, shielding him with his body as much as possible, as he his head back around.

He saw a bottle roll away from the security desk, and he looked up at Moon still frantically typing away. He narrowed his eyes, it felt mighty suspicious that a bottle of soap just happened to fall when he was being nice.

But there was nothing he could say, not without blowing off.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, the tension didn’t leave with it. But it kept him grounded.

“It was nothing, just a bottle, No one came in. Sun won’t let that happen”

He felt a tiny nod, and he hoped if that was on purpose or even if it was just an accident that Moon was feeling just as shitty, if not worse for causing all of this. At some point, Cygni had let go with one hand. The other grip tightened on his shirt, pulling even more on it.

Cygni was picking at the paint on his arms, He tried not to frown or wince as he saw the large patches come loose and flake to the ground.

Suddenly the wings sprang up, and Cygni’s panicked breathing got louder

“W-wow I got you..what happened?”

“W-w-wing. T-t-touched..th-the ground…I…can feel…every inch… too much…gone..I just..want them gone”

Fuck the wings were that sensitive? Was he feeling every breeze? If they were that sensitive it was probably making everything so much worse, no wonder Cygni was just holding onto his shirt.

Should he drop the hug? Was he being too much, and could he just not say it?

There was a loud hum, He turned his face around, and Sun came back inside

“Sounds like you fixed it”

“Sort of, just enough energy to fix one of you”

Sun grimaced, but as his eyes looked over for a split second he wiped it off immediately

“Then fix him, I don’t like this, but I can stand it. This better not hurt him further Moon”

“It won’t!

He turned around, masking his relief from Moon

“Heard that?”

He asked his friend softly pulling back to look him in the face. Cygni’s eyes were still tiny and terrified. It pained him to see but he did get another nod.

“ECLIPSE! Get out of the way so I can Fix him”

He felt his grip tighten on Cygni, and he quickly relaxed again. Choosing not the response. He wasn’t stepping away. Not until his friend told him to.

“Gonna be as close as I can Okay?”

Cygni’s whole body was shaking like a leaf, barely louder than a whisper.

“Do you trust him to fix me?”

Of all the questions that could be asked, somehow he hadn’t anticipated that one. He knew his answer, even if he hated it.

“Yeah…”

He saw those terrified eyelight search his own. He wondered what he saw, he couldn’t hide the anger he was feeling. Nor the concern. His own emotions felt like they were tripping over each other, yet they felt a little more stable as he got a slow nod in return.

“O-okay…”

He ran his hand gently over Cygni’s arms and slowly stepped away.

“Further Back, you’re still in the way”

He bit down another annoyed grumble, walking backwards keeping his eyes on his friend the entire time, who wasn’t looking away either. Cygni had stopped shaking, holding himself eerily still once more.

He stood next to Sun, who was still hovering thanks to the anxious flapping of his wings. It took everything in him to keep his arms by his sides instead of crossed. Because then Cygni would know he was worried. He didn’t need to be, he was gonna be fine.

The humming beside him became louder and louder.

Just fine…

He locked all his systems in place. Moon would fix him, he knew how badly Moon would want to fix things if he knew he fucked up, especially concerning a Sun. It was fine.

There was a huge flash of light, and both he and Sun let out a sound of surprise. By the time he blinked away the blindness. Moon was already walking towards Cygni.

He intended to storm right past him to get to his friend first but forgot he had locked himself into place, so instead he almost stumbled forward. By then Moon had reached the crouched-down Cygni, who thank fuck looked the same as he always did, kneeling in front of him and offering his hand.

“Hey…bud. I’m so sorry about that. I would have fixed it sooner if…. I would have! Honest. But you are back to normal now, nothing to worry about, see”

He had finally unlocked himself and was walking towards the pair, trying to reign in the new flow of boiling anger. He stopped short when at the last of Moon’s words he saw Cygni’s eyes grow smaller again. Followed by a hastily

“Yes Lord”

Everything in the daycare froze at those words. He could hear a quiet thud where Sun had fallen from the air back to the ground in surprise. Only the music kept playing on its merry way.

“Buddy…I…”

Moon reached towards him and then to everyone's shock, Moon’s hand was slapped away as Cygni stood up with a heave.

“D-don’t you ‘Buddy’ me, we are not f-friends”

Cygni kept heaving out shaky breaths, his eyes were trembling and he was ANGRY. He stared at the sight, feeling a lot of things at once. One of them was oddly proud. Cygni held a lot of his feelings back. Afraid of being hurt once again, so to see him express some of it. Finally letting go of some of the walls was good.

Yet at the same time, his servos clenched at the sight. Because there was a lot more than anger here. Pain, a lot of hurt, bigger than he had ever seen. The way he held himself reminded him of those early days, Just after he got him out of the cell.

When Cygni thought he was alone, he saw him on the camera feed. Holding himself, trying to calm himself. It was always brief…but it had been there.

There was Worry too, what had caused him to call Moon of all people ‘Lord’? That was not a mistake he had made before, not as far as he was aware. He had gotten it, even Sun had gotten it once or twice. Having rays and towering over Cygni when he was panicking could do that.

“W-what…? What are you talking-”

“NO!”

As Cygni shook his head he took note of how Moon had sounded hurt, the selfish part of him felt very satisfied by that even though he knew that Cygni would come to regret it

“SUN is my friend. NOT you. “

Moon held his hands up trying to splutter up a response but Cygni was merciless and ploughed on.

“You LAUGHED….you didn’t even CARE to check on me! H-how many times has SUN told you he doesn’t like being changed but you did so anyway and you still laughed! And then…And then when someone finally notices I am not fucking okay. The person I live with, my best fucking friend, you accuse him of lying?! Of being overprotective?! What the actual fuck?! “

He felt his glow click on for the briefest of moments. He was still not used to people defending him. He stepped closer to the arguing pair ... or well, Cygni giving Moon a well-deserved dressing down. Cygni let out a hollow-sounding laugh that sent chills down his spine.

“You always do this! You don’t know me, you never even try to. You judge one of the most important people in my life and accuse him of things he has not done to me. Just because he did them to you, and not even caring he is trying to be better. How about instead of meddling with my personal life, you try and fix your relationship with your brother like you said you would, Instead of being too cowardly to confront your own fucking feelings and just hope that not talking about anything fixes everything! “

He heard a wince from Sun behind him, and he finally reached Cygni placing a hand on his shoulder. Not looking at Moon, he knew that he couldn't help but be smug if he saw him devastated, the anger celebrating at him finally getting some kind of consequences for his actions. But that wouldn't be right.

Cygni was angry and lashing out. He would come to regret the harsh words no matter how true they were. If he appeared happy at them ... .Cygni would be so disappointed. There were more important things than his anger anyway.

“Cygni…let’s go home….before you say something you’ll regret”

Those angry eyes snapped at him, he braced himself to be yelled at. This was unknown territory. A little while ago those eyes had been searching his own with a desperation for comfort. Now they seemed to be looking at something to destroy.

The yellow rings were burning with a fire he had never seen, it felt cold and uninviting, Yet as he squeezed his friend's shoulder gently he couldn’t help but find it beautiful too. He was proud of the anger, proud of him finally acting on the backbone he knew his friend had. It was a strange mix of emotions to be so concerned yet so proud.

He was gonna calm him down, Be in his corner yes, but not let him do stuff he would hate himself for. After another minute of silent staring, there was another nod, and he gently began to lead Cygni towards the door. Keeping his hand firmly on his shoulder.

Moon hadn’t moved at all, made no sound or given any indication to stop them. So he was surprised that Cygni stopped when they were right next to him.

“Thanks for the fucking nightmares I am gonna have, asshole”

It was quiet and muttered bitterly, his own eyes widened at it, and he gave another gentle push. The way Sun held himself when they passed indicated he had heard it too, He had kept his eyes on his friend mostly, So he saw the moment the angry eyes met Sun’s and he saw some of that ice-cold fire, ebb away.

“S-sun…I…”

Sun waved him off and said with a sigh

“I get it. Believe me, I do”

Sun started towards his brother for a moment before looking back at them, with a tiny smile

“Raincheck on shopping and movies? Just let me know when you wanna hang out okay? I make sure Moon won’t be there, I think you need some time apart from him”

Cygni gave a small curt nod.

“Thanks…Sun…Sorry…for”

Cygni glanced back, eyes getting more conflicted by the seconds.

“Don’t apologize for something that was not your fault, I’ll check in on you tomorrow,”

Then Sun walked towards his brother, and Cygni just stared at the floor. He signed, not really knowing what to say to make it better, so he gave another encouraging nudge and they walked out of the daycare, where he set up a portal.

Just as he placed it he saw Earth at the top of the stairs looking down at them. Her eyes full of worried concern for the both of them. Cygni seemed to be stuck in his own head and didn’t notice. Earth made a phone gesture next to her head.

“Call later?”

She mouthed, and he gave a short stiff nod. Before stepping through the portal into the bunker they called home.

The daycare theme cut off as the portal closed leaving them in the dark greys of the hallway. He glanced at Cygni who was still looking down, arms shakingly by his side. He glanced down the hall. Should he encourage Cygni to lie down in his room? Or maybe he should set him on the couch where he could keep an eye on him.

That was maybe the smarter idea, Cygni normally made him something to drink as he let him stew in his own thoughts. He could make his favourite tea. That at least could cheer him up a little…or maybe distract him. For now, he just wanted to make Cygni feel good.

He was about to steer his friend towards the living room. Only to stop short, Cygni was still looking down, but he could clearly see the large droplet of oil falling silently off his faceplate. He felt his shoulders slack and his heart break. How Cygni always cried so silently was a mystery, even if he knew why.

Gently he squeezed the shoulder he was holding,

“Come on let’s-”

His words died in his throat as Cygni’s head shot up. Because he wasn’t seeing devastation or sadness. No Cygni’s face was contorted in a full painful rage. He had let go in surprise, and it was a good thing too because the next second Cygni had swung his fist at the wall.

The sound of the bang it caused echoed through the bunker. Bouncing off every surface, and ringing in his audio receptors even after it faded.

“Cygs..”

He whispered worryingly and his friend let out a choking laugh or cry…something painful and bitter.

“I-I thought I was doing b-better…but I am still afraid of him…it took less than a fucking second and I was trembling and scared like I never left at all!. “

There was another punch he made a move to reach out and stop him, but Cygni stumbled back from him. His servos ached, voice box locked as he saw the raw turmoil on his friend's face.

“I am just as weak as I’ve always been…I had to be rescued again…What if you had been gone already? How long would I have been stuck like that…feeling trapped like that…reliving everything again”

Finally, he managed to find his voice, because this was something he knew for certain.

“Sun would have noticed…he…he is your friend, and he would have”

The devastation did not lift from his shaking eyes,

“Just proves I…would still have to be saved. Fuck it felt so awful…to be changed again. You knew my Lord used to do that to me for fun…I would be dusting the bookshelves and then, poof, I could be a girl, or a bird or a fucking pig, and still expected to keep working”

The laugh Cygni let out was dry and chilly, everything about this whole interaction had him frozen on the spot. Never had he heard Cygni speak with so much venom of his former master. See him so angry and devastated at the same time.

“C-can you believe he kept me like that for days at the time Eclipse?…. Stuck in a body not my own, sometimes turning all my metal into organs, and then just watching, like I was a rat in a lab, letting me roam the place trying to do my jobs for him….but it didn’t matter…it didn’t matter if I did good or bad”

Cygni raised shaky hands to his rays, they hovered just above them. Not grabbing them like Sun or even himself would. Hands curling into fists instead

“He’d take me to his lab to torture me after he was done with watching me….just for his amusement…to see what would happen, to use it on other subjects after he was done with me. He made sure I would always feel all of it, every Single Second He did everything you can think of. He ripped off whatever limbs I had. Arms, legs, even my rays, tails if he gave me one. The sensors would burn. Or he would stab me, let me bleed out, My eyes getting plucked out, no matter if I was machine or organic.”

Every time he came up with something to say, Cygni kept going, saying stuff that made him feel shattered all over again. The knowledge that the one that caused this beautiful bot all this pain was a version of himself. That at some point in time…he had the same idea as him…to rule the world like that. Would he have hurt Sun the same… destroy someone so completely?

He was scared of the answer.

But he knew one thing for certain, if he ever would come across the so-called Lord Eclipse he would do his best to make him pay for what he had done to his best friend. Tear him apart limb by fucking limb. To make him feel every bit of pain he had caused this beautiful sun model that had so quickly become one of the most important people in his life.

Yet he had to table that anger somewhat as Cygni continued on

“When he was finally done, be it days or even weeks later, he would fix me with that stupid star …and the worst part…the absolute worst.”

Those shaky eyes met his, eyes wide, Horrified, Sad, and so, so angry.

“He’d tell me…’See you are back to normal now, nothing to worry about,’ like it was some game, that if I made so much as a complaint about it…he’d turn me back just to do it again. “

His heart which already felt shattered was now getting stomped on. He was no stranger to what the lord had done to his friend. Cygni had let things fall in casual conversation that were absolutely horrifying.

Now for the first time, he saw on his friend's face the same horror he always felt. It made it all a hundred times worse. Because maybe…a small part of him had hoped…that Cygni had truly been ignorant about the wrongs done to him. It was not something he one hundred per cent believed

But…it was a calming thought, that he at least be protected mentally in some twisted sense. Yet the ugly truth lay before him now, the one that he always knew. Cygni was fully aware of how messed up his situation was. That things were not right,

Staring at the black oil-stained cheeks of his friend. He decided to do something instead of staring helplessly, he finally stepped forward and hugged his friend tightly, squeezing him like his life depended on it.

“That’s horrific, “

For a second he felt Cygni freeze, and he wondered if he had made a mistake before two thin arms came up around his back and held onto his shirt very tightly.

“I…I hate him so much…Eclipse…so fucking much “

The words were barely louder than a whisper, but it felt so much louder.

“You mean your lord right?”

He asked just as softly, and he got a nod against his shoulder, hands tightening he could feel the blunt fingers against his casing through his shirt. He was surprised Cygni had kept his claws sheeted. Something in his chest tightened and released.

Never, in all the months he had known Cygni, had he ever spoken about his feelings for his former lord. He could see it, clear as day. Seeing the fear of showing it even more. This…this was good. He was so fucking proud of him for finally saying how he felt. His mind was racing, he needed to say something, anything to make it clear that this was something good, that these feelings were valid and he wouldn’t be punished for them.

“Yeah, he would be better off death if you ask me”

He grumbled out angrily, before mentally slapping himself as Cygni’s rays retracted. Because that might be too much for now. Cygni’s hands spasmed against his back, reeling back the anger that he let escape. He’ll deal with that later when his best friend isn’t a trembling mess in his arms. He was about to apologise only to be cut off.

“Is it bad that I agree?”

“No”

He didn’t even think before giving his honest answer. If anyone was allowed to feel hatred towards that so-called Lord, it was his best friend. He finally, slowly, loosened the tight grip he still had on him, so he could pull back and look him in the eye.

“You have every right to be angry, to want him dead, gone and buried after everything he put you through. I am certainly not judging you for it,”

He gently kept rubbing Cygni’s arms up and down in a hopefully calming motion. More paint flaked off as he reached his wrists but he tried to ignore it, as he stared into the rings of his friend's eyes. Whose gaze was looking something between, hopeful and lost. Still scared, and also that anger still burning deep even as the sorrow started overtaking more and more once again.

“Wanting him dead, or being happy if he was dead. It doesn’t make you as bad as him. Trust me….I would know the difference”

He saw a tiny bit of fear leave his friend's eyes. But there was still so much, he didn’t know where the threads of all those emotions began. Or how to untangle them, He was gonna be here though, to help him through it the best he could. Even if it was just a single thread at the time.

“T-thank you…Eclipse…”

His systems hummed pleasantly at the thanks, and he pulled his friend close again.

“You’re welcome…”

They were quiet for a few moments, as he gently ran his hands over Cygni’s back. The other's grip had loosed and was now leaning with more of his weight against him. He didn't budge, afraid to ruin the strange sense of calm that had fallen over them. Things weren’t okay, not by a long shot. It felt like they had gone through the worst of the storm that had overcome his friend. So he counted that a tiny win

“Eclipse?”

He hummed letting know he heard him, one hand trailing up to pet the side of his faceplate, trying to gently coax the rays back out once more.

“D-did i…Did I overreact with Moon?”

He sighed deeply. That was a question, wasn’t it? He didn’t think so. He thought the bastard got exactly what he deserved. Yet he also knew that was his own anger and hatred for the lunar animatronic talking.

“...I think he got what he deserved…”

He started slowly, as he felt Cygni go still again. But he didn't want to lie, not just because Cygni would be able to tell, it just felt wrong.

“... I also think most others wouldn’t agree with me. “

He continued on slowly, Cygni carefully pulled back one more to look him in the face

“What do you mean?”

He sighed deeply once more, looking over Cygni’s shoulder as he tried to find the words

“You know my feelings towards Moon, I think that he got away way too easily with what he did to me, and others for that matter. I have told you repeatedly that I don’t like how he treats you. So to see him being faced with the facts and seeming to realise that he is wrong…and that fucking hurts him…yeah...I think that is deserved. “

He glanced at Cygni’s eyes for a second, the yellow rings were staring intently, not judging yet, just listening to him speak.

“While I also think you pointing out that he isn’t working on his relationship with Sun is very valid. I think most people would say that that was a little too far, as it isn’t much of your business. “

He watched as Cygni’s eyes turned sad, and he fought through the way his chest clenched

“And I think you are one of those people who think that…”

There was a slow nod. He let the words sink in for a bit, gently stroking the tips of the rays that were visible, Then he continued on.

“I think as well, that you shouldn’t blame yourself too much, I can’t imagine what you must have been feeling, being transformed against your will. Getting all those memories of what your lord did brought back to the forefront of your brain. Then Moon, saying something so similar to what that bastard did when he was done…”

His voicebox shut down with a click, he didn’t want to say it. The images that went through his head at the descriptions Cygni had given. It was a wonder his friend was still alive.

“Torturing me?”

Cygni's voice was soft, and a little sad. It made him almost fucking choke up. The fact that he said it so easily is what really did it to him. He coughed past his own static

“yeah…I don’t blame you for lashing out. I don’t think you should either. Maybe apologize when things have calmed down a little. If that is what you feel like you should do”

There was a frown on his friend's face, something sad and he could see a spark of annoyance.

“...Maybe this sounds mean ....but I feel more bad for dragging Sun into it then Moon…at least right now. I am…mad at him... For not listening to me, for ignoring you. Right now I do not want to see him…I think I will be mad at him for a while as well”

He gently nuzzled against the top of Cygni’s head

“And that is okay, “

He saw the tiniest of smiles flicker over his friend's face and he felt a little lighter at seeing it.

“Come on…let’s get you cleaned up, and we’ll watch something stupid on tv or something”

Cygni gave a nod, as he let himself be guided to the bathroom.

A little while later both of them were laying on the couch, Cygni exhausted from all his emotions, hadn’t lasted through more than one episode before falling asleep. He had been tugging the blanket a little tighter around his friend when he noticed that he was trembling once more, and then he let out the tiniest whimper, almost too quiet to be heard. Grimly he thought back to the last thing Cygni had said to Moon.

Thanks for the nightmare indeed

He didn’t hesitate as he gathered the sun animatronic in his arms. He held on even as the whimpers and shakes increased. Stroking his back, arms rays as gently as he could as he whispered soft comforting words. He would fight the nightmares as best he could. Even if it meant staying up all night.

As the shivering died down against his casing again, not fully gone, but at least subsided. He looked down and his best friend's faceplate scrunched up in a pain that he couldn’t fight. He fought the urge to kiss his forehead or his rays.

Because he would, he would fight dimensions to keep this bot safe in his arms. Would be there to see every part of him heal. Even if that entailed him drifting away from him and finding his own strength. Find people other than him to love and trust. He just wanted him to be happy. Happy and safe.

As he stared across the bunker that had become a home, he whispered soft promises that would never be heard. Too afraid to say out loud, filled with too much of his own strong feelings for this bot that had captured his mind, heart and soul.

He was gonna keep him safe, even if he got hurt doing so.

It would be okay.

[h-didanart]

…. So Nexus right?

I haven’t watched the episodes but I’ve heard about how he basically tortured Ruin and Moon by digging through their memories and stuff.

And You Drop Us Like That In A Nexus Of Torment

———

They stared at the ground, claws shaking as they tried to lift themselves up. Their breathing was ragged and their vision was blurry, barely able to make out the patch of grass they had been dropped at.

They winced at the ache in their joints, but managed to sit up. Their arms moved to hug themselves after a second.

They were alive. They survived. They… where were they?

They looked around, tensing up at the darkness that surrounded them.

It was dark. It was so dark they can’t see—faint light.

Faint light behind them. There was a source of light. They had to focus on that.

They turned to the light, a blurry mess of yellow and white standing in the distance.

They had to get closer.

They had to get away.

They moved to stand, legs giving out at first before they tried again.

Once they were standing they moved to approach the light source, trying to ignore the way their injuries burned with every move— they don’t have injuries, they do, they don’t, then why can they feel the gashes in their legs? They aren’t real, but they are there, they’re not there, they never left, they did, they can feel him, he isn’t here, they’re gonna die, they won’t, they’re gonna die, they—

Tripped and fell.

They sat up, tears falling to the ground.

They can’t think about that.

They had to keep walking.

They had to focus.

They had to make it home.

They stood up again, now face to face with what seemed like a house.

They knew that house.

They stared at the house and its bright lights. There were people inside.

Maybe they could help. At least they would be better than I’ve always been curious about what really happened in October- Don’t -Let’s see what you have to hide~- Please

A hand went up to their mouth to muffle the sob that escaped.

Keep it together.

They took a breath and walked up to the door.

Slowly they raised a hand to knock, but hesitated. They rubbed harshly at their eyes, suddenly self conscious of what they undoubtedly looked like.

They took a shaky breath and finally knocked.

It wasn’t a very loud knock. They steadied themselves and knocked again.

They let their arm fall back down, other arm wrapping around themselves tightly. They stared at the door, anxiously waiting for whomever would open it.

After a while, they got their answer. A yellow figure with striped pants stood there, probably confused if not scared. Not like there was much to be scared of.

They tried to look at his face, their gaze immediately dropping to the floor the second one of his rays came into view.

It was muffled but they heard him say their name. It kinda sounded like their name, at least.

They took a breath and their voice box crackled on. But nothing came out. They tried again, getting straight to the point.

“Is Solar home?”

All of them stood there in silence for some time.

Sun moved to the side.

The door did not close.

They stared at him- as much of him as they could see at the moment. He gestured to the area inside.

They glanced inside, then back at Sun.

They watched him hesitate before reaching out a hand towards them. They looked at it, for a long time. And slowly their own hand went up to his.

He guided them into the house.

A pressure let up in their chest.

The inside was brighter than the outside, and the smell of cat fur and sweet foods put them at ease.

They found themselves sitting at a couch a moment later. They heard as Sun left, his footsteps followed by a different set of footsteps.

Their footsteps echo through the la—daycare He’s leaving them to die

They brought their knees to their chest, burying their face in them.

They’re on the flo— against a play structure They can’t move He’s laughi— dead silent

They clutched at their hood.

They just want it to stop

A burning sensation started bubbling in their chest, their breathing only accelerated with it.

Not here. Not here.

They heard themselves whine as they ground their teeth together in a ditch effort to avoid the inevitable.

For the love of God not here.

They felt a wet cloth land in their head.

Their claws immediately reached up at it, their legs pushing them against the couch’s corner.

Someone sat close to them.

They stared for a second or two.

Tears started pouring out of their eyes before they even pounced on him. He held them gently, rubbing circles on their back.

They still couldn’t let themselves break down however, they had to warn him. But the only thing that could come out of their voice box was sobbing, and they wouldn’t be able to stop once they started.

They held tighter onto him.

A feeling of weightlessness overtook them, only making them cling onto him more. And then a door closed.

They were in his room.

They looked up at him. Solar looked back at them.

They… supposed they could cry for a bit. He wouldn’t judge. He wouldn’t laugh.

They could do that then.

So they let the sobs escape, and they let themselves shake in his hold, and they let themselves be scared. And through it all he held them, and he cradled them, and he comforted them.

That’s all they needed at that moment.

Won't lie any mokn/nexus ship is inherently less interesting than whatever sun has going on with anyone in the cast I'm just saying there so much that could be explored if people weren't cowards to acknowledge that sun has been through the most if not only by the fact he's the one who remembers everything from the very beginning *slaps sun* there so many layers and nuance you can fit it this poor traumatized bot

That's so true dear anon 🤌

You're speaking my language 😙

But people for some reason are sleeping on Sun.. like what?

You're losing so much good stuff fr fr

Cause Sun has the most history or complicated relationship with most if not every character like damn..

Why so many popular blogs aren't milking this shit is an enigma to me?/hj

Cause seriously there's tons of things with other characters but with Sun it's only some superficial boring stuff..

I can only count on one hand people who come up with good stuff with Sun/lh

Or just stuff with Sun is less popular compared to stuff with other characters.. but why? Idk tbh cause I don't get the appeal/lh 😅

Like why in the fics Sun has only so little depth.. when compared to Eclipse for example.. Eclipse in these fics is always written so deep and I'm like bdnxndndnxj

I get it but why not go in depth with Sun and then explore Eclipse and Sun's relationship which is super complicated but underutilized in the fandom (in the show too but I think it's intentionally left for another time cause it's overarching arc..) it would be so much more interesting imo..

That's why I'm planning on writing a new fic - sorry to fans of Dark Clouds.. they will have to wait for new update to Dark Clouds a bit longer 😅 - with Sun and Eclipse and Solar cause I wanted to show the idea/theory that I have in mind that who knows.. may actually happen in the show - I mean not exactly in the way I plan to write it but the idea may actually turn out to be true bxnxnxnnxn

But nonetheless I agree with you, dear anon ^^

No Good, Chapter 18; Hospital

[kingxgarm]

So... I have some fic ideas and I wanna know which one would like the most

I'm so sleep deprived lol

Debating on making this poll last a week (I'm doing it)

(I will get around to all of these eventually, I just wanna know which ones the best idea to do)

Afton Death Swap

So basically, the story will start with a main prologue, then as the characters experience the tragedy of the prologue, they will get their own individual stories of their POVs, you get to pick which POV you want to follow, or read all of them (the main story will conclude at fnaf 6, but I do have a side story in mind for security breach and help wanted)

Agony

Chapter 1 will be about William waking up in this new agony infested purgatory, he must find some answers and survive, because everything wants him dead

Reach for the Stars

The "dating sim"

Similar to the death swap, there will be a main prologue and each route will be its own individual story, some characters will have romantic routes, some platonic, some both, you decide

There will be dialog options, but I'm not sure whether I should let comments vote which option to pick, or write all of them, and you read which one you pick (it'll be like, go to chapter x if you picked y, ya know)

I might need help with this since it's SUCH a big project, so if you have Notion and want to help write an x reader fic of your favorite tsams character, just shoot me a dm! It's first come, first serve for characters, but obviously, collabs are acceptable

I should also clarify that this is a FANFIC, not a game, don't want to confuse anyone

Yearning

I posted about this a while ago, this is one of my many rewrites for Disney's Wish, it has its own magic system, backstory, and religious components and I might even write songs for it if I decide to go that far

Bloodlust

My collab with @mossy-frog69

We're writing an infection au basically centered around bloodmoon (and polyamory lol)

The first chapter has been in development for a while, but I believe it will soon be at a point where we can post it for you guys!

I'm wondering if I don't come back, maybe then I'll know

An ethgoesboom fic about glitchtrap being the real afton and springtrap being a fake

This is technically a Prequel, but whatever

[rewind-time]

New chapter of Ruination is out! Ruin enjoyers come get your food!

In advance, this fic IS about Ruin's backstory, so it covers some pretty heavy topics such as death and gore, please keep that in mind before reading.
