@sketchquill
Time to get down to brass tacks!
@sketchquill
Moon: Goes from closed off, suspicious damage control to affectionate gremlin.
Eclipse: Changes from terrifying, overprotective helicopter big brother to mellow but frisky guard dog.
Sun: Nervous, anxiety ridden bean to FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT
Epilogue time!
@sketchquill
The story flew by so fast, thank you it was very interesting to read! I love you!!💕
Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The process was a wild ride, but a lot of fun!
*Deep breath*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMG LOOK AT 'EM!! THEY ARE SO PRETTTTY!!!
I LOVE THIS!!
THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!!!🤩😍
Here's my take on the Y/N (end of story) from @bluemoon1331 's story, One Lost Star!
I like giving all of the Y/Ns I read as proper appearences and names, and Terra is probably one of the better designed ones I've thought up.
Blue (Bluemoon?? I haven't looked at your blog idk what you go by), If you're reading this, that story had me tearing up, laughing, giggling, kicking my feet, gasping, making genuine reactions like that. It was an emotional rollercoaster, and I love rollercoasters. It was a pleasure to read your story.
(SORRY FOR THE LONG MESSAGE :[ )
This has been scratching my brain for so long but FIRST, I LOVE your work so very much like ur writing is *chefs kiss* SO GOOD. One of my favorites of your's might be the "one last star" story (AND "SCARLETT MASQUERADE")! Okay now to the brain scratcher I have listen to a song that reminds me so much of eclipse from OLS that it makes me insane!
It's called "habibi" by Tamino please give it a listen when u have time 👀💦
Oh my gosh, sorry this took so long to answer! Life has been fun lately.
Thank you SO much for the support and love :D I don't mind the length at all, it's so nice to see other people happy cause of the fics I make!
And yeah, I can see how that would remind someone of Eclipse, especially during arc 3! That poor boy really went through it. Like, he just started being able to process emotion again thanks to you, and then, BAM, everything goes to hell.
Thank you for the song, and I will be back at some point soon with more content!

Thank you so much, I am so feral about this-
Ahhhhhh, cheering on Y/N from the background! I'm happy you like them! Well, you, kinda, lol.
Idk why but the way some of these y/n's slowly go from just a y/n to their own character is just such a cool thing!! Like yes you little goober!!! Get that identifying personality!!! I absolutely adore when over time fics get their own such, recognisable y/n's, I just find it cool!!! Y/ngineer has to be one of these y/ns and- oml they're just the funkiest fella ever :] I adore y/ngineer sm.
This dude has a failed band, an engineering degree, and 11 (eleven) unpaid parking tickets!!!
Me: *Sees I got a comment on One Lost Star* Oh, let's check it out.
Me, one minute later: 😭🫠😭WhapbhHjfsauphdFhkpC I CAN'T- THAT IS- I- On EVERY- I'm gonna-
For the One Lost Star fans, I posted an afterwords, cause y'all have been killing me lately. It's pretty short, but I love how you guys are still around to support. It means the world.
Thinking about that potential One Lost Star sequel. Ah, the pain. The bittersweet mess. Y/N pulling a full Scarlet Witch.
Could I possibly make a fic inspired by your concept for One Lost Star? I keep rereading it and getting ideas for stuff that are just buzzing around in my brain. Of course, if I can, you'll be in the summary and linked in the inspired works.
Of course! That would be so awesome! I would love to read it when done!
Hello, hello! Welcome to my main blog, where the DCA fascination consumes! My alt blog is @sharetheartman, go check it out if you wanna see the amazing art this community has to offer!
My Ko-fi (if you're able to help a struggling writer, very much appreciated. Can request written commissions if you want): BlueMoon1331
Below is a list of all my current fics on A03 and planned AUs! Give them a read if you love fantasy and the DCA! (Updated to divide between the SFW and NSFW stories)
<<<<<First up, the SFW section!>>>>>>
Finished Works:
One Lost Star- You are a bit of a hermit, living solo off the land since the death of your grandfather. Until you draw certain godly attention, that is.
Scarlet Masquerade- The sole heir to your kingdom, you find yourself caught in the tangled web of the automaton emperor's plans. However, things are about to go from bad to worse when you catch the interest of the deadly automaton assassin sent to end you.
WIPs:
Cosmic Journeys- Trapped in the depths of depression, you seek an unfortunate out. The nearby land owner won't let that happen, though. Thus begins a journey of self-worth and finding hope in a world of madness and compassion, monsters, saints, and everything in between.
Come and Go- A Megamind-inspired AU with Sun as Metroman, Moon as Megamind, and Eclipse as Titan, while you are a delivery driver caught in the middle.
Unusual- An oceanographer, there is no place you'd rather be than scouring the depths of the seven seas, studying its plant life and creatures, in particular the infamous mers, beings most of your co-workers are quite wary of. They don't seem to mind you too much, though, a fact you try not to put stock in until an encounter on the beach near your house flips your entire world upside down. Strings of fate and a battle to rule the oceans with you as the key? Ridiculous. Right?
Of Metal Parts and Roadside Shenanigans- You are a trucker traveling home before unwittingly tripping headfirst into a giant mystery. (More of @deceptiveshadow's Blood Moon cause I love him and cannot help myself.)
One-shots:
Party Crashing 101- A piece inspired by the mafia episode from Helluva Boss. Badass, protective reader ftw XD
Blooming In Adversity- You and the princesses were great friends in your youth, until you had to move away. Years later, you return, your friendship blooming anew. However, dark plots turn in the background, and it may be up to just you to save them.
Phantom Tide- You are a siren, crushed under betrayal. Sun and Moon are brothers recovering from the throes of grief. Perhaps you may be just what each other need.
Connotations- Your duties as a druid are fairly life-consuming, but you have happily devoted yourself to them. Keeping the peace is not the easiest, but you do it all the same. Unfortunately, the arrival of contesting priests threaten your efforts, setting you on a collision course to meet three of the forest's most powerful caretakers.
Diamonds and Iron- Being a rather big-time mafia boss, of course Eclipse needs places to stash away his income. As an outdoor enthusiast, you love visiting the local motorsports arena when you can afford it. Oh, who's that standing in the middle of the track, where you can't see?
<<<<<<<<<NSFW area ahoy!>>>>>>>>>>
Finished Works:
Never Play Cat and Mouse With Vampires- Living alone is a necessity, your skills in hunting, magic, and evasion giving you all you need for contentment, or so you tell yourself. In your newest home you, unfortunately, find that your capabilities only draw the infatuation of three local creatures that are intent to finally capture you and make you theirs. Annoyingly, they may just get that chance.
Dancing In Orbit- The lunar vampire is the last of his kind, a deadly plague on the Earth that refuses to yield despite the uncountable years that have passed since the last of his kin and kind died off. You, running from your intertwined past, seek to finally put an end to that, with some help from friends old and new.
Familiar Constellations- The vampires get a bit quirky about you, especially when you egg them on. Mature. Very, very mature. Good gods they are rough, but you love it. After all, you can get a bit rough with them, too.
Gravity- Featuring another of @deceptiveshadow's lovely OCs, Nova. Normally quite the quiet and cat-like companion, you join him for a round of games in which his behavior becomes increasingly odd. That's nothing compared to when you strangely wake in the tower the next day, having no recollection of how you got there, and what comes after.
WIPs:
Embers and Ash- Ghost hunting is your profession, and you are damn good at it. Which is why you don't think twice when you're hired to cleanse an abandoned mansion of its otherworldly resident. Too bad this job is not the cake walk you thought it would be.
Burning Stars- You run your farm alone on a world teeming with aliens and humans, content with your animal family and helpful community, even if you keep the latter at arm's lengths. Until your peace is interrupted by a certain intergalactic bounty hunter, anyway.
Rosewood's Serenade- The eldest child of your kingdom, you have trained since birth to be all your home needs and more, intent to take the throne when the time comes, marriage or no. However, your parents harbor a secret, a deal struck when disaster threatened to destroy all they hold dear, and you soon find yourself meeting a most intriguing being...
Demonic- The saying of Hell is empty for all the demons are here has never been more apt. Caught smack dab in the middle of the infamous Hell-Day event, you come out with an unexpected passenger woven into your soul. Now, you secretly fight to preserve the fragile balance between mortals and the demons trapped on Earth, all while contending with the fact your new neighbors are the very ones responsible for sealing the gates, the infamous Celestial Graces. They also happen to be the mortal enemies of the one currently living in you. Fun times all around, especially with devil himself on your heels, seeking to reclaim what he lost.
Along the Akesh- Blessed with visions since your youth, you were taken and raised by the temple, becoming one of the highest-ranked priests, second to only the grand heijut himself. With an awe-inspiring festival and ritual that happens only once every five centuries under way, you are eager to meet the moon god, one of the many you have had the pleasure of conversing with throughout your prayers and oracles, in person. Things take an unexpected turn, however, when the temple must pay recompense for an accidental screw up with a gift left by an old friend. You are about to learn just how intrigued you and the moon god truly are with each other.
One-shots:
Bleeding Feathers- You weren't supposed to go into the exclusionary zone, but that's never been a problem for you before. This time, however, you might just get more than you bargained for. Fan piece for @deceptiveshadow's harpy au! (Not TSAMS)
Color Theory- Moving back to your late grandma's cabin, you pray for things to finally settle down. Unfortunately, her myriad of secrets seek to come back and haunt you, but hey, it might not be all bad this time. You could use the comfort of an old friend. Another fic inspired by @deceptiveshadow! Their god Blood Moon this time. (Not TSAMS)
<<<<<<<Lastly, miscellaneous potential AUs!>>>>>>>
Lich King AU- With the three realms in shambles, cut off from each other, it is up to the most powerful warriors of Earth to fend off the lich king and his Elite army, including his own brothers. You, whom offers them a secret safe haven and relaxation when they need it, cannot deny your love for Sun and Moon, nor they you, but with Eclipse hounding for any weakness he can use against his kin, is the danger really worth it? You find the answer may be coming sooner than you would like when the two go missing after a fight.
Spirited Away AU- You have moved to a more remote region in hopes of forgetting a troubled family life. Content to spend your time among the lush jungles of the land, you inadvertently stumble upon an obviously long-forgotten temple. Curiosity eats at you, and you cannot help get closer, initially unaware of the myriad of eyes watching you, until you spot...an icy blue leopard? It's a good thing you helped those snakes and that spider on your way here.
Harem AU- You saved them from certain death, and now the clan of vampire brothers serve you. For years uncountable, you have pulled the strings, quite happy to cause chaos around the world when it becomes too dull for your liking, going from hero to hero. On blood soaked ground, you are content with your helpful vampires, though can things really stay the same forever?
A question that's been bugging me since I read One Lost Star
there was a scene where the other gods expressed concern over Eclipse making the reader his demi god (I think, I can't remember exactly) and there was a different method mentioned that offended/disgusted Eclipse but was never actually said what it was
Is it possible you could clarify in any way?
I think I vaguely recall what scene you're speaking of, but regardless, there's only two ways to make a demigod in the OLS universe.
The first is the one we see with Vanessa and Gregory, where a god puts a part of their essence into a soul.
The second, uh. The second is the Greek pantheon way (minus the bad stuff that usually happens to the non-godly partner afterwards).
I'm currently working on chapter 5 of Born Blessed and I have a question
Since it's based off your au, with some differences in lore and how things work, I wanna ask
What would happen if a god gave a mortal their blood? Or should I just pull something outta my ass on this one
Huh, that is a good question.
For the OLS universe, I think it would give a person a much more temporary power in comparison to a proper blessing, since god blood isn't as potent as their actual cores, but it is still a part of them.
That's just my thought process, though! I am loving your fic so far! Whatever you decide to do, trust it will be consumed! 😃
Was Circus Baby (in One Lost Star) created by spring trap and a ballora the traditional way, or is it different if both parents are gods and not mortal
Oh boy, I actually had a piece of lore for this, gahhh, can't recall where or if I wrote it down-
If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of with what gods are and how they come to be, making one the traditional way is kinda not really feasible? I mean, the parts can be morphed, but that's really more for half-mortal children. Birthing a concept or giving a conscious to an earthly/universal force is more of an ether thing. Gods creating another one from either requires the use of their cores and delving for something to latch onto them (kinda a ritual thing). It's what makes them a family, if they so wish to call it that like Ballora and Springtrap did. Fun fact, a god does not need a partner to do this, it can be 100% asexual. This would actually have been touched on in the sequel idea, funnily enough, which I doubt I'll ever do cause I keep getting sidetracked by ten thousand other projects lmao.
Speaking of sidetracked, rambling a bit here I guess, trying to piece my shit back together. I'm not positive this is the exact thing I had in mind way back when, but I think it's close. Hope that helps and makes sense.
Haha that question actually had me pull up the old storyboard for One Lost Star and OMG is it a mess XD Just one long paragraph of stuff I (sometimes) completely forgot about that was supposed to happen/be linked. I'm perfectly content with how the finished product is, it's just wild going back and reading it 🤣
I know I keep bothering you and I'm very sorry but would you be opposed to the idea of the m/c and one of the gods making a demi god canonically in Born Blessed?
I'm on a choke hold of baby fever because of another fic writer and wanna do some self indulgence..
Sure, go ahead! I don't mind! Might not be my thing, but this is your take on the god AU, after all! I do appreciate you asking, though!
Also, you are far from a bother! I might not be the best at answering right off the bat, but I love sharing my silly little worlds with people, and vice versa!
Hey! Reading One Lost Star and found myself intrested in Nova (obsessed villains are my catnip haha). If Nova had won and gotten everything he wanted how would that bad end look like?
Oh, interesting concept! I doubt it would have lasted because Y/N is Y/N, but for the sake of the idea, we'll ignore that, lol
For Nova's ideal ending, his first goal would've remained the same, tying Y/N to him by making them his demigod. This definitely would've happened if Ballora never showed up during the rescue mission.
From there, things would have spiraled. Nova would have locked away Moon to prevent him from getting in his way again as the god closest to him in power (plus, as mentioned, he still has some care for his siblings so he would have a desire to keep him close).
The fate of the rest of the party is a bit more cut and dry. Because of the deal you made to become his demigod, he can't really hurt them on purpose, but he makes it quite clear that he has no qualms defending himself or you if they should attempt another rescue. They would've been forced to retreat to Pharos and lick their wounds, though your grandparents would've argued to stay with you, annoying Nova. You plead to allow it for their safety when you see his temper flaring, knowing they were too stubborn to give up, and he ends up caving (he is a sucker for hearing you beg coughcough), shoving them in with Moon.
With that settled, Nova would enjoy every single second of his time with you, keeping you close, refusing to let you out of his sight, especially after the whole Monty incident.
Of course, the subject of Springtrap would've reared its ugly head eventually, and Nova would gladly have gone out to deal with him. For as apprehensive as you are to be with him, well aware Sun must be suffering inside, and Nova's rather jealous nature, you would gladly fill him in on where to look for Springtrap's HQ. The solar boy would have immediately razed the place to the ground before anyone had a chance to realize he was there, resulting in Vanessa and Scraps' deaths.
Springtrap would have gone into hiding as a result, furious at this loss, scheming to find a work around for Nova, whom had proved far more cunning and intelligent than the shadow god predicted (idiot still has no idea Nova was awake long before he cast the spell that switched him and Sun lol, get ratioed by the lost knowledge you're supposed to be in charge of bitch).
Well aware Springtrap wouldn't give up that easily, Nova's main goal would have shifted to dealing with him. You would end up accompanying him on excursions to hunt the mad god, which would've, ironically, been when you and Nova had your most docile interactions, the sun god more focused on obliterating Springtrap than making out with you (a very difficult concept for him considering just how down bad he is).
This would be when he also found out about Eclipse, which would be a big trigger for his temper. Your days at the temple would put you more and more on edge, Nova's frustration over not being able to find the rabbit and retrieve the last piece of his familial puzzle building to dangerous levels. In the rare moments you are allowed to see Moon and your grandparents (another thing you had to beg for, especially over Nova waiting outside), they offer you as much comfort as they can, while you are struggling to hold it together. The link you now hold to the sun god does not help, sometimes almost painful with how bright it burns, and the internal conflict you can feel happening between Sun and Nova.
Eventually, this would devolve into a final clash between the three parties, Springtrap gunning for you, well aware you're the only thing that could allow him to regain any sense of control over Nova and the others, while the gods on Pharos would've been watching and waiting for their moment to save you and the others from Nova. Meanwhile, Eclipse would've suffered tenfold, since he was the only thing Springtrap had to occupy himself with. Eclipse likely would've become a bargaining chip during the confrontation, pissing off everybody, yourself included.
Not too sure of what the result would be, only that Springtrap def would have died, and Nova would likely have ended up breaking his part of the deal, summoning the not-so-fun backlash of breaking a godly pact. I'm thinking it would have ended in an Uno reverse, oH nO nOt ThE cOnSeQuEnCeS oF mY aCtIoNs type thing where they would've had to contain Nova until they could figure out how to regain Sun. Getting him to give up control like your previous life said is a MUCH bigger battle in this timeline, especially with Ballora not wanting anything to do with them anymore after Nova killed her daughter, deranged as Scrap might have been. She would've actually ended up leaving the group after Springtrap's defeat.
This end would assuredly be a lot more bittersweet. Freeing Eclipse from the pocket dimension would be incredibly dangerous, whatever spells Springtrap performed threatening to break should Eclipse's chains be removed. You would be able to get him back, like in the original ending, but he would be pretty much stuck without both Sun and Moon's help to contain the black hole. Nova is not budging, of course, and you can't exactly let him loose to assist, even in a weakened state. You visit Eclipse every day, though he is a lot more traumatized than before, jumping at every shadow, as if still expecting Springtrap to pop out and kill another illusion of you.
Freddy is left with picking up the pieces of his pantheon and the world, the planet still locked in place by Nova's refusal to withdraw the sun. Foxy and Moon would do what they could on the other half of the planet that's still ice, but melting it all into a new ocean would likely result in its evaporation, killing Foxy, so they are made to deal with the fact new life will not be a possibility for a long, long time. Monty assists as well, cooling the worst of the active volcanoes and their land, but there is little to be done about the blazing ball above scorching the surface. Of course, there is also the fact nobody has a clue where Golden is in all this, the last they heard of him being his hibernation.
Anyway, uh, this turned into a bit of a ramble, really got my imagination going I guess lmao. Whether of not they are able to right things is up for interpretation, the reader is immortal and still tied to Nova at this point (breaking the deal didn't change that, unfortunately), so there's that. Marionette and the twins might have stepped in at some point to at least fill them in about the Golden situation (though going into the shadow realm to retrieve him would be a whole other battle), but they're still not exactly able to interfere much, even if they hate this particular timeline to their cores. Nova would definitely continue to obsess over you and potentially play along if it meant having more you time. You do enter the sun god's head more than once and reunite with Sun, but it does little good, even in Nova's weakened state Sun is unable to wrestle back control by force. Whether or not you would've become a full blown god is also up for you to decide, as that would hinge on a successful rescue and revival of Golden. But yeah, just some thoughts.
