#the reality of this fic is literally eclipse going through it and Nexus refusing to let him do it alone

[princeanxious]

Idk if I made a post about it when I posted it to ao3 but hey guess who wrote a 10k tsams au fic after like 5+ years of not posting anything lol

It's for an au I'm calling: Dust to Dusk! The fic name is "False, Fractured, Faceless."

(Due to a recent AI scraping within ao3, the fic is unfortunately locked to users with an account for now, just fyi!)

It's essentially a canon divergence au take on how differently tsams/eaps Eclipse could have evolved as a character if certain factors were changed, specifically if Ruin's rebuilding v.3 Eclipse and his subsequent back-ups weren't done quite correctly.

In short, this first fic takes a look into how this Eclipse experiences life with a chronic disability(or the animatronic equivalent) as a result from his repeated deaths, thanks to Lunar vaporizing the copy's first iteration with his powers- it led to corrupting the subsequent backups.

Also it's a bit o' Nexus arc redemption/deviation in that New Moon doesn't end up dabbling in DSP, just magic, and not for evil reasons!

So Eclipse similarly 'pulls a Nexus' and changes his name to Dusk. :)

The Au name Dust to Dusk is kind of. Really on the nose, if you couldnt tell xD

Let me know with you think? More fics of this au to come, seeing as I have several in the works already. 👉👈
