Would you do another collaboration with Pixel Chills?

Any ship can be toxic. I mean. Even Backstage AU Solar and Nexus have a somewhat toxic relationship if you think about it;

Nexus puts Solar in a very high position in his mind. Solar can do no wrong, has very few to no flaws, because for Nexus, Solar is perfect. Solar is what he needs. Nexus is so dependant of Solar that he is afraid to sleep, because what if he wakes up and Solar is dead again?

And Solar just enables it. He does everything Nexus wants and needs and thus continuously feeds to the "perfect person" image Nexus sees him as.

But thats just how love and relationships are sometimes. I wouldn't call them bad for each other, just a little unbalanced. And I like writing this sort of toxicity between couples. Where either one or both are so needy and dependant of their s/o it hurts them to be apart.

If you've ever read my Animutant fics you know just HOW BAD this applies to Animutant Sun and Moon 😂

In real life, a relationship like that would be suffocating.

CW: thunderstorms implied part abuse (although very brief and no detail) (Just a silly little drabble I wrote last week at 5AM that I thought thought cute. On with the show!)

"L-luan?" Solros whispered, shaking his boyfriend gently. It was only 11:26, but he needed him. "Mm…Solros?" He said. "What's-" Suddenly, a loud thunder stick came from above, lighting up the room.

"Oh…oh, babe," Luan said. "I'm sorry, I totally forgot about the storm! Are you okay?" 

Solros whimpered in response, hiding onto of Luan's shirt. Luan gently rubbed his head and kissed one of his petals. Solros always hated loud noises. Reminders of his life before Luan were tough. Because of this fear, Luan and his family tried to get rid of all things loud. But they couldn't get rid of storms. Usually Luan would try and stay up with Solros, keeping him calm until he eventually went to sleep. But this time, he forgot. Poor Solros.

."Hey," Luan whispered. Solros finally pried away from Luan's shirt, which to him was the safest place to be.

"I'm here. I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you, okay? You're safe with me." Solros smiled, looking a bit brighter, when thunder struck again. He hides in Luan's shirt again, making Luan giggle.

"Sweetheart, which is safer? Me or my shirt?" He teases, earning a giggle from Solros. Solros pulls away, resting his head on Luan's shoulder. Luan kissed his forehead gently.

"Now if you get scared, you can-" Thunder crackles above, causing Solros to snuggle into Luan's neck, causing a slight ticklish feeling.

"Sol!" He giggled. "Don't do that so fast!"Solros giggled, not saying anything. He fell silent for a bit, before Luan looked down, smiling. 

I did not wanna do this, I wanted to keep my fics open and readable to those who do not have accounts because before I started writing myself, I only read as a guest for years.

But with the latest AI-fed scraping done to public fics, I am just beyond pissed. I don't want my creativity, passion, and art to be used for an AI without my permission. It's unethical.

Please, if you're a reader of mine, make an account on AO3 right now. It might take 2-6 weeks to get it (as AO3 has a queueing system for new accounts) but I can send you any new chapters privately while you wait for your account. Just DM me (on Tumblr, Bluesky, Discord) and I'll keep you updated on my fics during the waiting time.

A scene from a future chapter of MDD. Moon meets Solar for the first time and Solar leaves an impression as per usual...
