The Want To Be Halved Instead Of Whole

Summary:

What happens to a fused sprite when they're separated from themselves? What happens to the whole person who died and fused with someone else?

Apparently the answer is time travel and brain ghosts, lots, and lots of brain ghosts.

Eriso—Eridan Ampora hates Paradox Space. Hates Alternia and hates himself. He'd-THEY'D finally, finally been used to being Erisol as a whole and now the-HE'S back to being Eridan Ampora and only Eridan Ampora. Worse part, Sollux didn't come back with him. Only he did. In his head. As a ghost. A brain ghost.

At least he's not alone in this endeavor. Nepeta and Equius are here to help him.

Wait what do you mean there's no game? Shit, looks like it's time to start a revolution so they all their friends actually survive past their molt! Karkat especially.

ACT 1: Complete! Ch. 1-10
ACT 2: Incomplete! Ch. 11 - ???

Notes:

This is entirely self indulgent, I wasn't even supposed to come back to this fandom but the recent update of The Crow Strider AU some other Homestuck fics Hiveswap Act 3 my own brain decided, hey. Why not write this instead?

So welcome to this!

To establish some things, as you can see from the tags I'm NOT going to be doing this canon wise. Canon? What's canon, I don't see canon, I see my own AU created for Self-Indulgentness. I can only hope you guys enjoy it too, but hey, who knows where this is going.

I've got a basic premise, let's see if this story will last huh?

EDIT: I'VE CHANGED THE ORIGINAL SUMMARY! As well as the tags!
Both will be susceptible to change again as the story progresses!

Chapter 1: Bisected Whole Again

Summary:

A fish freaks out that he's a complete fish again, there's a ghost bee, an actual bee, another fish, a crab, and there's a cat in the end.

Aka

==> Eridan: Freak The Fuck Out

Notes:

First chapter! here we go!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text


Oh don't you worry.

Eriso—Eridan is already freaking the fuck out maximum input here.

ERIDAN: wwhat the fuck wwhat the fuck wwhat the fuck wwhat the fuck

The seadweller was pretty much hyperventilating right now, clutching his clothes, shakily feeling himself and feeling wrong for feeling like- well, himself.

ERIDAN: no nonono no thiis cant be happeniin no nononono not noww not after evverthiin
ERIDAN: please please please please no
???: fuck fuck fuck fuck

Eridan doesn't even notices the strange, translucent figure curled in the corner. Too busy feeling himself before a thought occurred in his head and he's rushing out of the room towards his respiteblock.

???: fuck fuck fu— wwaiit! WWAIIT! ED WWAIIT!

The transparent figure follows after the seadweller. Both in varying amounts of distress, though as soon as Eridan arrived at his desk husktop, he's frantic as he opens trollian and clicks on a familiar mustard yellow name. Typing into it quickly just as a transparent troll came barreling into the room.

???: FOR FUCK2 2AKE ED WWAIIT A FUCKIIN MIINUTE DIID YOU NOT HEAR ME?!
ERIDAN:
ERIDAN: sol?
SOLLUX(?): *huff* wwho el2e diip2hiit?

A ping sounded from his husktop as Eridan stared at the see-through troll standing before him. Disheveled but undeniably Sollux Captor. Only see-through, which means he has to be a ghost, a doomed Sollux or whatever but something deep, deep in Eridan's very soul knows that it was his Sollux.

The Sollux that he'd been fused with, thrown into the kernalsprite with, the sol part of fucking Erisolsprite.

ERIDAN: sol
SOLLUX: yeah
ERIDAN: sol
SOLLUX: yeah
ERIDAN: ii dont
ERIDAN: ii dont knoww wwhats goiin on— ii dont—

He tries to reach out, and on instinct Sollux does as well.

Their hands pass through each other and Eridan keens. Sollux grimaces, a pained look on his face.

ERIDAN: wwhat iis happeniin
SOLLUX: ii dont knoww
ERIDAN: wwhy am ii aliivve? wwhy are you a bloody fuckiin ghost?!
SOLLUX: ii dont fucking knoww ed
SOLLUX: all ii knoww ii2 that wwe wwere meetiing up wwiith arquiiu2 and
SOLLUX: 2hiit
ERIDAN: nothiin afterwwards
ERIDAN:
ERIDAN: wwere not eriisol anymore
SOLLUX: no wwere not
ERIDAN: no
ERIDAN: NO!!!
ERIDAN: wwe wwere FIINALLY GETIIN 2OMEWWHERE WIITH OUR LIIFE! ACTUALLY BEIIN HAPPY AND 2HIIT THEY CANT DO THII2 TO U2!!!!

Eridan screams, enraged, slamming his fists on the desk with enough force that the wood cracked and splintered apart. His computer taking some damage but miraculously still working, it was still pinging at least. Despite how similarly angry he was as well, Sollux couldn't help but look at the broken screen, seeing trollian open before him.

SOLLUX: ah 2hiit

CA: sol please

TA: what the fuck do you want
TA: what the fuck ii2 thii2??
TA: hey
TA: douchebag
TA: a22hole

SOLLUX: uh ed??
SOLLUX: we miight havve a problem

Eridan glared at the screen, feeling an odd sense of betrayal and hurt from seeing the color of mustard yellow on trollian. It was clear that Sollux didn't remember, at least the Sollux that was on the other side of Trollian. It meant that the weird, ghost Sollux really was his Sollux. The Sollux he had been fused with. This Sollux had a body, yet knew nothing of the strife that he and his Sollux was experiencing. It just didn't seem fair to him, to Sollux. It just wasn't fair.

ERIDAN: fuck
ERIDAN: ii dont wwant to talk to hiim
SOLLUX: youre the one wwho trolled hiim!
ERIDAN: because ii thought he wwas you! and clearly hes not so ii dont wwant to talk to hiim!!
SOLLUX: you cant leavve hiim hangiing liike that, he2 already 2u2piiciiou2 a2 iit ii2
ERIDAN: WWELL HE CAN JU2T DEAL WWIITH IIT AND FUCK OFF!!

Something sparked within Eridan as he screamed again in rage, in a literal sense.

Red and blue crackled around his horns and both trolls jumped back when the husktop abruptly exploded. It was a small explosion thankfully, only scorching the desk but computer was just fucking destroyed. Just a smoldering mess of sparking and scorched metal on his already broken desk.

They gaped at the destruction.

SOLLUX: ...
ERIDAN: ...
ERIDAN: diid ii do that or diid you?
SOLLUX: holy 2hiit ii thiink you diid that ed
ERIDAN:
ERIDAN: fuck


-- caligulusAquarius [CA] is idle! --

TA: oii a22hole!!!
TA: eridan fuckiing an2wer me dammiit!!

Sollux scowled at his monitor, fingers tapping on his desk impatiently for a reply. Honestly, he shouldn't even be replying to that shithead but with the messages he left, he couldn't not ask what the fuck was happening. He scrolled back up to see the messages, the initial disgust he had at seeing the horrid violet color was receding into curiosity at why the fuck Eridan of all people would be sending messages of what seemed to be... genuine concern? Like seriously, what the fuck?

SOLLUX: weiird a22 fuckiing—

Trollian pinged, letting him know there was a new message and he instantly scrolled down to check it. Only to straighten and stare at it bewilderingly.

SOLLUX: what the fuck??

-- caligulusAquarius [CA]'s computer has blown up! --
-- caligulusAquarius [CA] is now offline!] --

Now, it'd be a cold day in hell for Sollux to actually admit aloud that he was worried over someone like the snob, fishface Eridan Ampora but even he had to admit that seeing the abrupt notification of his computer blowing up was concerning. It wasn't everyday that that happened and Sollux hadn't even shared a virus to make it blow up himself! So, something else must have happened? But what?

Was he okay? No wait, Eridan was a fucking violetblood. For as snobby and assholey those shits were, Eridan especially, they were tough motherfuckers so of course Eridan would be okay. He wouldn't let himself just die to some random explosion.

... Right?

CC: )(OLD ON

Sollux scratched his cheek. Okay, maybe he should've lead with the fact that Eridan's computer blew up first before asking her shit. While he wasn't that worried about the seadweller, Feferi was Eridan's moirail and had the right to be concerned and worried. Though, Feferi was frankly too good for Eridan. Hemospectrum be damned. He shrugged and typed.

TA: he2 a 2eadweller, he can tank a computer explo2iion
TA: he2 probably fiine ff, dont worry 2o much


-- cuttlefishCuller [CC] is idle! --

Feferi doesn't reply for a few minutes, probably preoccupied with Eridan's situation. He checks trollian and yup, Eridan was back online again. The seadweller's computer may have blown up but the guy still had his palmhusk, not to mention the asshole could just order a new computer because of his undeserved fucking funds. Rich douchebag.

SOLLUX: yeah 2ee? he2 fiine, back onliine and back two beiing a douche
SOLLUX: ...
SOLLUX: 2tiill, what even the fuck wa2 that?

What was with the messages in the first place? Not to mention the cause for the explosion. Maybe Eridan downloaded some virus from somewhere else? Amusing but not really likely, for as much as a douche Eridan was, he was smart enough not to download anything suspicious from online. Unless it was something that was sent by one of their friends and Sollux, who would trick him into downloading viruses for the hell of it.

The thought of Eridan downloading a virus from someone else who wasn't him seemed less and less amusing and more annoying.

He doesn't pay attention to that thought any more as trollian pinged him. Feferi had come back.

Sollux scowled at the screen but another ping got his attention.

Ah, it was the caped douchebag himself!

Sollux seethed, oh now he was gonna get it. He was going to trace the fucking messages and rag on that son of a bi-

SOLLUX: ...
SOLLUX: what the fuck?
SOLLUX: what the fuck?

How was this possible? How in the fuck did this happen?


Eridan leaned back, smiling toothily at the screen before him. A mustard yellow husktop was open on the table in front of him while Sollux snickered into his ear from where he floated. While he was back into his full, six sweeps old body unscathed and mostly untouched by SGRUB, tidbits of Sollux as well as Sollux's sylladex from SGRUB had seemed to come back with him. Thus where the yellow husktop came from. Not to mention the new element to his typing quirk. Something he could barely hold back, so he figured, he wouldn't.

SOLLUX: that 2hould 2end hiim iinto spiiral for a bit
SOLLUX: iim a biit hurt though ed, pea2antblood? you wwound me
ERIDAN: ii knoww ii knoww hemospectrum is bullshit our blood was liiterally fucking briight green liime at one poiint but
ERIDAN: gotta stay SOMEWWHAT iin character
ERIDAN: you an ii both knoww wwhat they expect and knoww of me riight noww sol
ERIDAN: iits bad enough ii piicked up part of your quiirk liike thiis
ERIDAN: better not let them see anythiin else untiil the game starts
ERIDAN: also knowwiin thiis nerdy shiit iin my head noww hurts
ERIDAN: howw the fuck can you deal wwiith iit?
SOLLUX: you dont have ALL of it dumba22, you forgot a few liine2 of code and ii had to remiind you two put iit iin
SOLLUX: al2o, pretty hypocriitiical for calliing me a nerd
SOLLUX: ii havve 2o much u2ele22 hii2toriical and weapon knowledge iin my head noww
SOLLUX: wwell the wweapon2 are cool but the hii2tory? no thank2!
ERIDAN: howw dare you

They shared a short laugh, feeling more at ease and far better than the panic and worry from earlier. It's not perfect and they were clearly stalling a lot of things but, this was nice while it lasted. But all good things come to an end eventually, they knew that but hopefully, they'd be somewhat ready.


For as frustrating and confusing that day was, Sollux had stubbornly put it behind him for the moment. Deciding it was too much effort to deal with the troubling situation and decided to focus on something else.

Miraculously, he doesn't hear from Eridan for almost a solid week. It's fucking suspicious but he's been enjoying his days cape douchebag-free and just doing his own shit.

It all come down to almost two solid weeks when shit hit the breeze blender.

Eridan stared at the information laid out before him. He'd written down everything he knew so far of what was happening and above him Sollux was taking deep breaths, trying to keep calm and not freak the fuck out.

• spliit iin wwhole half after mysteriious iinciident (eriisolsprite iis no more)

NO GAME NO 2GRUB NO 2BURB NOTHIIN EVVERYTHIIN II2 DIIFFERENT

ERIDAN: wwhat the fuck iis happeniin
SOLLUX: ii dont knoww ed
SOLLUX: i dont fuckiing knoww

Eridan groaned, sounding close to a sob. He grabs the piece of paper, holding it tightly before letting it go when blue and red sparks started to dance along his fingers, threatening to burn the paper.

SOLLUX: careful! ii told you p2iioniic2 are fiiniicky 2hiit!
ERIDAN: ii knoww!! ii just ii
ERIDAN: FUCK!!
ERIDAN: I HATE THII2!! JU2T WWHAT II2 GOIING ON HERE?!
SOLLUX: ED!

Sollux snapped as Eridan snarled, clawing at the air with his psionics-covered hands. The trail of blue and red was somewhat beautiful but ultimately deadly. Thankfully, Eridan had somehow not managed to destroy anything this time. Eridan huffed, taking in deep breaths and hugged himself, clutching at his shirt as he glared at the now wrinkled paper.

ERIDAN: ... iim sorry
ERIDAN: ii hate that nothiin iis makiin sense riight now
ERIDAN: ii hate that iim just ME agaiin
ERIDAN: ii hate feeliin liike thiis
ERIDAN: wwe wwere doiin so good they made 2O MUCH progress an wwe wwere gonna be happy as ourselvves as THEM an noww iits GONE!
SOLLUX: ...
ERIDAN: they wwere about to piick a name for themselvves remember?
ERIDAN: wwanted to go by somethiin else asiide from eriisolspriite
ERIDAN: they nevver got to piick theiir name
ERIDAN: wwe nevver got to piick our name
ERIDAN: an noww iim back to beiin douchebag hated eriidan ampora
ERIDAN: an you dont evven havve your owwn body
ERIDAN: THAT iis NOT FAIIR TO YOU!! wwhy do I get my owwn body back but you stay as a ghost or somethiin!?!
ERIDAN: that other sollux iisnt you not completely he doesnt GET IIT
ERIDAN: ii dont evven wwant to talk to hiim any more
ERIDAN: none of our friiends
ERIDAN: hah iif ii can evven call them friiends liike thiis
ERIDAN: they dont get iit
ERIDAN: and noww they nevver wwiill
ERIDAN: sol ii just
ERIDAN: ii hate thiis
SOLLUX: yeah ed me two
SOLLUX: me two

Around this time, a comforting gesture would be made. And Sollux did try, but the best he could do was just, awkwardly try to pat Eridan's shoulder. Unfortunately for them both, Sollux's hand merely phased through him. Again. Sollux was a ghost. Possibly a brain ghost like Jake's supposed 'brain ghost Dirk' was. The only reason they both remembered that was because Jake had been ranting about it to them one time and they had been forced to listen. Plus, it felt somewhat accurate to describe Sollux as such? Since so far as they could tell, only Eridan could see Sollux.

But at the same time, it felt a bit disingenous, untrue. Because 'Brain Ghost' meant that Eridan was making Sollux up. But he wasn't. He wouldn't have Sollux's sylladex and items with him. Wouldn't have his quirk or even his fucking psionics, memories and knowledge as well.

But they couldn't exactly call him anything else so the term would have to stay at least.

Their quiet brooding and silent lamentations were swiftly interrupted by the ping of trollian from Eridan's palmhusk.

ERIDAN: ugh wwho iis iit noww?
ERIDAN: ii swwear iif iits kar agaiin for more gossiip ii
ERIDAN: uh
ERIDAN: sol?
SOLLUX: wwhat?
SOLLUX: oh
SOLLUX: wwoah

Notes:

This is entirely self-indulgent. No I will not be going through erisol's backstory completely, nor will the other sprites. i dont have the brain capacity to do that. Maybe in the future? But not today! or anytime soon.

But yeah, here it is.

Eridan's new quirk is obvious by now, double ii and when shouting his s turns into 2
BG!(BrainGhost)Sollux's new quirk just has him doublin his ws an vs. he's the most that talks like erisol sprite, but he at least ends his -ing words with g instead of not including the g like eridan.

At the end you see Nepeta's new quirk, she now has shades! Because she's a cool cat and she knows it. there's more to her quirk but more on it in the next chapter.

And yes I've changed a lot of things, Tavros can walk, Terezi isnt blind (yet maybe), Vriska has her arm and eye and Aradia is alive. Why? because the game is gone and the cycle isn't needed anymore. Sure it could've still happened but I wanted to try this difference out for a change. Let's see where this goes shall we?

EDIT: cleaned up the pesterlogs and fixed a few mistakes I spotted! learned more homestuck skin things for this ;u;
