Welcome to my Universe

🌌 Under the Endless Sky: The Outsiders/Star Wars AU

‘What if being dead was the only way you could stay alive?’

Ponyboy Curtis is a fourteen year old teenager who lives and works on a farm with his two older brothers; Darry & Sodapop.

The three brothers live on the outskirts of a large city. Which is helpful when it comes to keeping the Curtis family secret hidden.

When Ponyboy was young, he had started to show signs that was force sensitive. Which was around the same time the Empire starting taking away kids who could use the force.

Those kids never came back.

In fear of the Empire, Mr & Mrs Curtis tried to form a plan that would keep their whole family safe and together. Unfortunately, they died before they could form their plan. Leaving their eldest son; Darry, in charge of both the farm and his brothers.

In a desperate attempt to protect their youngest; Darry and Sodapop told everyone that Ponyboy had died in the same accident as their parents.

Since that day, Ponyboy has felt like a ghost.

No one could know that he was still alive. Which meant, he couldn’t go to school, couldn’t go on trips to the city, and had to hide anytime someone came by the farm, especially the Imperials.

Most afternoons, Ponyboy was either hiding in the underground bunker (that was either his bedroom) or sitting in a tree branch, staring at the city lights in the distance.

He felt like a prisoner but Darry insisted it was the only way he would stay alive.

As Ponyboy got older (and with a lot persuasion from Sodapop & Dallas) Darry reluctantly allowed Ponyboy to go into the city, at night, once a month, and only if Dallas and Johnny were with him.It was the best once a month experience of Ponyboys young life.

He promised that he would be careful.

But life often doesn’t follow our plans.

Ponyboy had accidentally exposed himself by using his abilities to protect Johnny when they were ambushed by Imperials.

The secret was out.

Dallas had to smuggle Ponyboy and Johnny off planet before the Imperial could catch up. He told Ponyboy they would hide out until the heat died down, then go back for Darry and Sodapop.

But with the Empire now aware of Ponyboy, and willing to do anything to draw him out of hiding, he has a choice to make.

It's Jonathan, holding a baseball bat in his hand.

Jonathan takes Will's hand and tells him they have to move. Now.

In the living room, the front door creaks open, hinting the creature is in the house now.

Will hides behind Jonathan as the older leads them down the hall with the bat raised and ready to strike. Chester follows behind, his ears perked listening.

As the two reach the hallway, they spot the open front door. Jonathan whispers they're going to run to a neighbor's house, and call for help. Will nods silently.

But before the two could cross the living room, Chester begins barking at something down the hall.

As the lights begin to flicker, Jonathan and Will turn, and see the massive creature standing in the shadows at the end of the hall. It’s blank face opens wide as it screeches.

Jonathan yells at Will to run, as the creature races down the hall towards them. Jonathan leaps forward, swinging the bat at the creature.

Will races to the front door before he could make it outside, the door slams shut in front of him.

Jonathan strikes the creature across the chest with the baseball bat but it seems to have no affect on the beast.

The creature snarls as it raises its clawed hand high into the air and-.

Will grunts as he tries to pull the door open it refuses to budge.

"Ahh!"

Will turns as Jonathan lands hard on his back and skids across the living room floor. The bat slides across the floor a few feet away.

"Jonathan!"

Will immediately runs to his brother's side, kneeling beside him. Horrified by the large bloody claw mark scratched across his brother's chest and lower neck.

Jonathan is breathing shallowly as a blood stain spreads across his shirt and he reaches out to grab Wills hand.

“No,” Jonathan wheezes, “…go… run,”

The lights blinks faster as the creature stomps closer

“No,” Will whispered, “I can’t,”

Suddenly, Chester stops barking his head off again and the house lights go dark.

The only sound in the air is Will's frightened breathing as he looks around the living room. It's still and empty.

Until-

With a frightened yelp, Will is pulled away from Jonathan, his small hand slips out from Jonathan’s hand. Jonathan tries to hold onto Wills hand but he can’t in his weakened state.

“no,” Jonathan coughs and blinks heavily, he turns his head to the side towards the hallway.

The creature is marching away, dragging Will across the ground by his ankle. Will is desperately calling and reaching out for his brother but is unable to escape the creature's grasp.

Jonathan blinks, and when he opens his eyes.

Wills voice falls silent, neither he nor the creature is anywhere to be found.

The Nightmare King approached the disheartened spirit to offer him a choice, with their similar backstories of being invisible and an outcast, Pitch tried to persuade Jack to join him.

Meanwhile, The Guardians used the last of their strength to seek out the last light. With Jamie’s strong belief, the Guardians were able to restore other children's belief, defeating Pitch and his nightmares.

In the end, Pitch Black and all his fearlings were banished back into the shadows. Which, unbeknownst to the Guardians, included Jack Frost, who had accepted Pitch’s offer.

Because after all, what goes together better than cold and dark?

While the Guardians were led to believe the young spirit had been killed, Pitch trained Jack to become his Nightmare Prince.

In the darkness of their lair, Pitch trained the young spirit to control his fear and embrace his darkness.

Jack was trained to tame and work alongside the Nightmares. Have a nightmare every night to master his own fear (and to strengthen Pitch’s power) And to spread harsh blizzards rather than fun snow days.

With every day spent in the dark, Jack's heart became frozen and darker.

His pale skin became ashy, his white locks began to turn black, and nightmare sand mixed with his frost and snow.

On the second sunrise, Merida was ready to break her mothers curse, but the demon bear Mor’du attacked them first. When Mor’du went after Merida, Elinor fought against him, bringing an end to the demon bears’ reign… sacrificing her life in the process.

The loss of her mother broke Merida, for she knew that she was responsible for her death. Fergus’ broken heart turned to stone… and it just got worse from there.

Without Elinor as the diplomat, an argument broke out amongst the leaders of the four clans. Words soon turned to war, resulting in the severance of their alliance. Despite Merida’s attempts to keep what remained of her family together, the damage was done.

Broken by the loss of her family and home, a guilt-ridden Merida retreated deep within the forest in self-exile, taking her beastly brothers with her.

Many months passed, many soldiers had fallen, yet there was no end or victory in sight.

Until one evening, the three clan leaders each received letters by ravens, summoning them to a meeting in the Ring of Stones.

Each one arrived, but none of them left. A few days later, they were found with arrows shot into thier chests.

In the throne room, King Fergus was confronted by the ones responsible for the deaths of the fallen leaders, before an arrow was shot into his chest as well.

The Bear Queen, a warrior with three monstrous bears by her side.
