    Summary

    Eclipse studies him, golden eyes narrowed, before a smile stretches across his face. One long claw crooks at the Mesmer, beckoning him closer. “C’mere. I want to get a better look at you.”

    Ruin stiffens, pressing himself further back into the cave. “Y-you know, as flattering a statement as that is, I believe I would like to stay right where I am. You understand, don’t you?”

    ---

    A what-if? on how Ruin and Eclipse met 20 years prior to the events of "The Abyss Stares Back", when they were younger, dumber, and in Ruin's case, tastier.

    Summary

    Eclipse doesn't care. Building Andrew, Jake's and Andy's bodies was simply because he was interested. Solving the murders was simply because he was bored. Helping Sun and Moon deal with their conflict was only because he didn't want to deal with another Eclipse. Defending Puppet was simply because Lefty was being stupid and selfish. And rebuilding Solar was simply because he couldn't stand the Celestial family's complaining, and wanted to prove he was superior to Moon (or rather, Nexus).
    But when Ruin says something to challenge that, Eclipse can't stop thinking about it (among other recent occurrences).

    Summary

    Familiar blue and black casings, red optics squeezed shut with tears. His little head was bare of a cap and his tiny body was naked but there was no mistaking it: the child in his arms was a twin for his lost brother.

    "C-Computer...who- who's backup is this?"

    "Backup data is intellectual property of Nexus Celestial. Error. Backup data corrupted. Error."

    Summary

    Nexus has power now. He has control. He has everything he wanted. (He doesn’t)

    Ruin is once again trapped under someone else’s thumb. But it won’t be the first time they’ve killed a monster. (There is no monster)

    Dark Sun has been carefully guiding everything for months. The pieces are in place, and all his plans will soon come to fruition. (They won’t)

    But then- (Everything splits.)

    Summary

    Solar and Ruin could never have a relationship after what happened the night the dimensions were destroyed.

    Right..?

    I mean, who could ever love a monster who was willing to end trillions of lives for the genocide of one common foe among universes? Much less love their own killer, that's batshit crazy!

    Well aren't we all.

The bot let out a groan, looking around. “It’s fine. You will do this, it’s not like he hates you. What am I talking about? Of course he does..” ... ' '
