[bluemoon1331]

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?

I always think of this for the dynamic, but spicier. Some The Company of Wolves vibes too for Trinket and Raphael.

The panel comes from the book Through the Woods by Emily Carol (which I own).

But the luck thing is really the vibe for these two. Trying to outsmart each other all the while he’s trying to capture her (soul) permanently instead of temporarily like with the contract. And she finds it a fun game to step into the trap he’s laid before dancing out of it before it closes each time (through her own wit).

For the record, I imagine Karlach saying something to her like “how is it that you are simultaneously the smartest and dumbest person I know”.

Birthdays have not been exempted aboard the Invincible, even when the crew has drifted far from the planet their calendars originated from. It’s a good opportunity to boost morale, to find some form of normalcy with the wormholes out in space.

So another crew member’s birthday rolls around, and another celebration is prepared. There’s a cake set out on the table and balloons floating near the ceiling (maybe even some karaoke prepared). The engineering team is the first to greet Yancy with cheers when he enters the room.

The Captain stays near the back and allows the partygoers to give their birthday wishes to their fellow crew mate; it’s only fair. But they’re the one to present the group present.

“The word around the ship is that you like to dance,” they say, holding out the gift, “and the uniforms don’t lend themselves to that.” Awaiting Yancy inside the box is a pair of tap shoes — now, how did those get on a spaceship? (@c-aptainslog birthday!!)

(Birthday!!)

-

Ever since he stepped foot on the Invincible, Yancy did everything within his power to keep personal details to himself. As far as the crew were aware, 'Yancy' was his birth name, and he wanted a fresh start away from everything. Only the superiors knew the details of his past.

Yet... How did someone figure out it was his birthday?

If anyone had asked him, he would have insisted this was for a team meeting. Instead, there was an entire party? For him?? And even the Captain was there??

This was all so very bizarre.

The engineering team were quick to rally around him, those he worked with frequently wishing him well and playfully punching his shoulder as they commented about him 'being the centre of attention for once'. However, it was clear that they all knew something he didn't.

The Captain approached with a medium-sized box. Confusion was clear as day at the Captain's correct observation - but how did they know? He definitely had a reputation for humming while working and trying to slip in music lyrics when there was a reference to something made, but the dancing... He didn't think that was such a careless thing to be caught doing.

He opened the box, and was shocked to discover a pristine pair of tap shoes. How was that even possible? Surely frivolities like this were restricted in order to reduce the day-to-day cargo, right? Or maybe that was the norm in Happy Trails.

Speaking of Happy Trails, the Invincible was a far cry from that. Where he would have been wary of being caught performing such a hobby in front of prisoners he didn't know, there was no hidden semblance of jeering or mockery from the partygoers. If anything, people seemed curious about it. Maybe there were others on board who also danced? Even the Captain's tone lacked any sort of belittlement. It was a passing observation, nothing more.

One thing was for sure - Yancy didn't need to be the man who was tough as nails, but always on guard. He might be able to be a little more... normal.

"Heh, youse could say that. Real rusty though. Not gonna make a fool outta myself in front of everyone right now. But I, uh... Thank you, Captain." He was certainly grateful for this second chance at life, even if others wanted him to rot in a cell. "It means a lot that youse would wanna find something nice for one of them low-ranked folks like me."
