Oh my gosh! You clicked! Hiiii 👋!

Art drop of silly Dadclipse stuff first

Quick warning, this is looong. You have been warned.

Welcome to my "what if Eclipse didn't end up in Bloodmoon's head?" AU! This Eclipse is very different, and somewhere between being v1 and v2 interaction wise? He's more like a mix of v1 and v4 in temperament, so I will refer to him as v1.5.

BbB!Eclipse's story is much different, given that this is a storyline where he ends up "He is completely mangled ended up in the woods somewhere in a completely crippled state and will not be able to move" as quoted by Moon in 'Eclipse is dead'.

Not the most happy beginning. In fact, Eclipse is like anger issues incarnate at the beginning, which morphs into arrogance shortly after getting fixed by an old mechanic. And after the poor mechanic's peaceful death a week later, Eclipse finds he is now the head of the small business. So he then grows it and starts some black market stuff on the side, quickly skyrocketing his capita, which he then uses to hire people (including his right hand, Antonio) and buy himself a mansion with a private office to do paper work and further his plans for getting the Star.

There was just one problem though, with the Mansion. It was haunted. By a very old young girl. Like, girl was there about 85 years, old. Her death also wasn't pretty. I won't show or speak of it without some form of gore warning first.

Anyway, Eclipse, when first seeing her (in monotone form) had, what he would consider, a strange reaction. Some code in his brain encouraged him to go into calming caretaker mode... and, darn it, how could he refuse? The small girl was so scared.

So he soothed the small ghost and got her name (Raylin). And over the following month, Eclipse split his Star planning time with playing different things with Raylin and building her something for Christmas. A body of her own.

Raylin was so compounded by so many emotions that she asked Eclipse for just one privilege. To call him Dady. (Papa was already taken by her birth father.) Melted by her request, Eclipse immediately agreed. (Can you tell why I label this self indulgent?)

Still though. Eclipse wanted the Star. Not in some sort of power play anymore but to just keep his family safe. Until one night he almost goes and tracks down Lunar and follow cannon. He just... needs to sit and build the conference to do so.... and there he's still sitting when he hears knocking and Raylin peeps around the corner, tears in her eyes.

Invited to, she curls up with Eclipse and sobs about the nightmare she just had, where Eclipse had died because he did something and everyone was mad at him. This crumbles what lingering resolved he had.

He disassembled what he had made that night and went full time into his business which very much could be called a mafia in the lightest way possible (name only).

But also due to this, we still have nanite Lunar!

Just as much as a funny menace as ever!

And also due to Eclipse never joining KC, Moon doesn't die! (I haven't dealt with that arch yet, shh)

Anyway I have more, so ask plenty of questions! I'll post with more sketches, cause I really like this AU. As in the tags, it's called "Broken but Better", so try to include, at least, the triple b so I know what to talk about.

Have a great day everyone!
