Chapter One - Welcome to Camp Superstar!

Sun and Moon x GN! Reader

Summary: A substitute teacher looking for a summer job finds themselves applying for the position of camp councelor at an old rundown summer camp.

Warnings: None!

Wind whipped your face as you drove down the spruce tree lined highway that your trusty GPS was instructing you to take. With the windows down, you could take in the glorious scent of damp dirt and fresh leaves and it only had you brimming with excitement for your destination. This job had been lined up for almost two whole months now and finally you were on your way. You tapped the steering wheel of your beat up old 2005 Honda Civic as you bobbed your head along to the opening beat of Violet by Bad Suns, a staple on your summer vibes playlist. With the sky a clear expanse of blue above you and the hazy outline of the Colorado mountains in the distance, you were glad that it was finally the end of May and summer was starting. 

You were a substitute teacher, still going through your last years of college, and while working at a middle school one day you had stumbled across a flier advertising open positions for counselors at a summer camp in the Rockies. You needed some form of income until school started back up again anyway so you decided to apply for the position and were ecstatic when you saw the acceptance email in your inbox a week or so after. Sure it'd be one hell of a drive and you were required to live on the grounds for the three months the camp was open but you were honestly looking forward to the escape, especially when you were in a place as gorgeous as this. 

The camp wasn't so excluded anyway. When you had looked up the location you took note of a small town about a thirty minute drive from the camp grounds which wouldn't be a huge trek if you really needed a break from the camp. While looking up the location though, you had found out that the camp was shut down some time in the late 90s and this would actually be its first summer back in operation. You were excited that you got to be part of it's reopening, the few old photos you had seen on Google looked adorable and for the excruciatingly long two months you waited for the time to depart on your mini road trip to the area, you had often daydreamed about giving your lucky little campers the greatest summer of their lives.

Sure you didn't have any prior experience as a camp counselor but you did have plenty of experience with kids thanks to your job and you were aiming to become a full fledged teacher after you finished college anyway so a little extra experience with kids of all ages would be perfect practice for your future. All things considered, it probably was your time spent as a substitute teacher that had secured you the job and for that you were grateful. 

You hummed along to your music as you took your exit off the highway and closely followed your GPS’s directions as you drove down some unkempt roads. Eventually you found yourself on a rather rough dirt road and a large, old looking wooden sign hanging from two rustic pillars that suspended it above the road let you know that you were in fact in the right place. The sign’s raised letters were painted with a faded forest green, spelling out ‘Camp Superstar’ proudly. You gripped the steering wheel a little tighter as your car bumped along the road and you could hear your luggage rustling in the back with every rock your tires jostled over. Eventually the shaded road opened up into a clearing that functioned as a parking lot and you were shocked to find that there were only two other cars parked in the lot, a yellow 2012 Jeep Wrangler and a black 2004 Volkswagen Jetta. 

According to the schedule you were given, the camp was supposed to be officially opened in two days and you assumed that more of your fellow counselors would have already been here by now but you assumed more of them would show up by tomorrow. There wasn't anything wrong with being a day ahead of the crowd after all! You parked your little Honda Civic next to the large Jeep and quickly put the vehicle in park before taking the key out of the engine so you could get out and finally stretch your legs. You weren't exaggerating about the long drive, the city you lived in was over 3 hours away and you had made sure you had plenty of water and snacks for the drive so you wouldn't have to stop along the way. Sure your knees were a little sore but it was worth it. 

You took another deep breath to really savor the fresh air. As you turned around, you examined the yellow Jeep you had parked next to and smiled a bit to yourself when you realized that it was decorated with little star decals, how cute. Deciding to leave most of your things in the car for now, you grabbed the papers you were instructed to bring with you and your phone before you pushed your car door shut and started up the pathway connected to the parking lot. Your eyes widened a bit as you stepped out from the cover of the trees and were met with another, much larger, grassy clearing that made up the main area of the camp. 

A large wooden cabin was the first thing to greet you and you tilted your head curiously as you realized that it was rather.. worn down. Someone had clearly made the effort to patch up most of the damage but its age was still prevalent and you wondered if this was one of the original buildings from the camp’s previous operation time in the 90s. The glass of the windows were sporting a filmy yellow hue and plaster was smeared between the aged logs that made up the walls. The large sign above the door marked it as the ‘Canteen’ and there was a smaller, newer looking cabin beside it marked as the ‘Office’. You admired the structure for a few moments before you clutched the folder in your hands a little tighter and started towards the office building. 

The office building had an almost identical look to the canteen but the wooden planks and logs that made up the walls were very noticeably much newer. You assumed that this building must have been built no more than a few months ago. You stood awkwardly in front of the door for a moment, trying to decide if you should just walk in or knock first and wait for a response. You pulled an uncomfortable look and decided on a midpoint between the two as you rapped on the door lightly and then pulled it open. You were pleasantly surprised to find that the building was air conditioned. Inside was a counter that sectioned off most of the building from the front that was decorated with a potted fern in one corner and a few uncomfortable looking chairs pushed against one wall. Behind the counter you could see a very outdated looking computer and various filing cabinets.

The room had a sort of musty smell to it. Like old paper and moth-eaten fabric but it wasn't so bad. You were more concerned with the fact that there didn't seem to be anyone inside. “Uhh, hello?” You called out uncertainty as you set your small stack of important papers on the counter. You leaned over it a little bit as you heard shuffling from deeper inside the building, hardly audible over the humming of the window AC unit that was keeping the small building cool. A moment later, a woman that looked to be in her late twenties popped her head from around the corner and seemed confused to see you at first. Recognition crossed her features for a moment before she smiled awkwardly and quickly made her way up to the counter. 

“Hey! You must be the new counselor.” She greeted you, placing her hands on the counter. She was a bit taller than you and had long blonde hair that was pulled up into a ponytail, a few strands loose around her hairline that gave her a borderline frazzled appearance. “I'm Vanessa, the general manager or whatever you wanna call it. Basically I'm in charge while the big corporate guys aren't around.” She introduced herself with a light laugh as she pulled the papers you had set on the counter closer to her. You gave her your name and she nodded in confirmation as she took the papers from the counter and moved over to the old computer. “I'm glad you got here a bit early, it'll give you plenty of time to get familiar with the grounds before the kid's get here.” She said as she booted up the computer and began typing into the system. 

“Well I do try to be punctual.” You said with a lopsided smile as you watched her type away at the computer. You weren't sure what to say but thankfully Vanessa didn't leave much room for small talk as she started moving around the office space while explaining some basic stuff to you. “Okay so, I guess I should start out with how we do things here..” She said with a hum as she started gathering a few papers. “Basically, we split the kids up into three groups that we call ‘teams’. Each team has their own cabin area and a team leader, which is you, their designated counselor.” She explained as she set the new papers in front of you. A map of the campgrounds and what seemed to be a schedule of sorts. “There's team Solar, team Lunar, and team Stellar. You'll be in charge of team Stellar and your other two counselors will be the heads of team Solar and Lunar.” She went on and you furrowed your brow a bit at her explanation. Only three counselors on site plus her? That seemed like way too little given the size of the camp.

“Don't worry about them though, you'll meet Sun and Moon soon.” Her words only confused you more. What strange names but you guess you couldn't really judge. Vanessa went on to explain some more things about the camp and soon she approached the counter with a badge in her hands. She reached over to a charging port that held a few handheld radios and snatched one up that was fully charged before she set it and the badge down, pushing them over to you. “Radio so you can contact me or the other counselors whenever you need to. You should have a connection anywhere on the grounds as long as you don't wander too far. Just stay within the barriers, lotta dangerous animals out there y’know?” She said as she pointed to the map she had given you earlier. Vanessa made sure you really got the point about the perimeter before she moved on to point out the more important buildings on the map like the team cabins, showers, staff quarters, ect. It was a lot of information to retain but she assured you that you'd have plenty of time to get things down before the kids arrived.

“Oh and of course you’ll have access to the office here. Your badge will let you into any rooms that have chip readers locking the doors. There isn't much in here but you’ll be able to get a hold of me on the phone when I'm not around.” Vanessa said with a bored sigh as she gestured to the space behind her. Her words confused you again though. “When you’re not around? I’d be able to call you on the radio though, wouldn't I?” You asked curiously as you picked up said device and fumbled with it for a moment, clipping it to your belt similarly to how Vanessa had hers. “Oh I won't always be on the grounds.” She said it so casually, as if it was common sense but her statement had you reeling. If she wasn't going to be here all the time then that meant there was really only you and the other counselors taking care of possibly hundreds of kids all summer? Three adults was nowhere near enough. “Wait, what?” You asked, your tone dripping with disbelief.

Vanessa just shrugged. “I’ll be in town, I've got stuff going on over there, but I'll visit about once a week for check-ins.” She attempted to explain a little more but it didn't help much, you were still shocked. “Don’t look so scared.” Vanessa huffed, laughing a little under her breath at your expression which you could assume was one of horror. “Sun and Moon are more than capable and we aren't expecting more than maybe fifty or sixty kids anyway. Honestly those two could run the whole camp on their own but we have labor laws to adhere to.” She laughed again. She was really hyping this ‘Sun and Moon’ up and it did ease your worries a little with how confident she seemed but you still had your reservations. What did she mean by labor laws anyway? Was there some sort of minimum employee quota they had to meet or something? You still weren't sure how a camp like this was supposed to run. 

“Uhh.. your confidence is.. Something.” You muttered as you reached for the badge that she had slid across the counter earlier. “Who are Sun and Moon anyway?” You decided to ask about it since she had been good about answering your questions so far. Vanessa tapped a finger against the wooden counter and hummed in thought before she answered. “They’re.. Interesting. Personally I think Sun is the easier of the two to get along with, Moon can be really standoffish sometimes but they’re sort of a package deal.” She said with a huff, as if just thinking about this Moon guy was making her annoyed. She looked like she was going to continue but stopped when you both heard what sounded like the rev of an engine outside. Vanessa sighed as she looped around, pushing open the door that separated the counter from the waiting area of the office. 

“Speak of the devil and he shall arrive..” She said as she folded her arms across her chest and stood beside you, glaring at the door. You were confused once again, did anything in this place make any sense? You didn't get the chance to ask though as the door to the office was pushed open and nothing could have prepared you for what, or rather who, you were now facing.

Hii I saw that you're doing birthday sketchy requests for the Bois and you're like one of my all time favorite DCA artists so I just had to put in a little request! (I'm so scared to be in your ask box rn don't look at me 😨)

Could you do a blushy Moon? Just him being all cutesy and flustered maybe due to him getting a smooch (Moon with kiss mark on his face would be too cute maybe I'll have to doodle it too lol) Any design you prefer for him is just fine, whatever is most fun for you! Soft flustered Moon just holds a special place in my heart hehe

One of Faz Co’s forgotten projects –Camp Superstar– reopens this summer in the woodlands of Colorado. It used to be a massive hit in the 90s and although it's a bit rundown now, the staff are aiming to give the camp a new and stunning image. Being away from home for the whole summer was nerve wracking, even more so when you realize you’re one of the only human employees on the grounds. What challenges would come along with working alongside two celestial themed counselors and more importantly, what secrets is this old place hiding?
