#trailblazer!mc

Where the Nameless and others get their memories back of TB to Illuga!MC, and make a BIG misunderstanding that since TB to Illuga!MC was never found (the Unchosen TB didn't work either), they were roaming freely in the universe!

A Stellaron posing as a human would bring disaster wherever IT went! IT needs to be found and locked up, or better yet, killed! Look what happen in the last timeline! IT exploded!

So, the Nameless, the Genius Society, ICP, and even the Xianzhou Alliance all teamed up to find, capture, and euthanize the rouge Stellaron.

Using whatever power and machinery on hand, they developed a contraption that would drag IT to them, and with it finished, it was turned on, and they all got ready.

The portal flickers to life, it swirls, and something was coming out-

...But all that came out was something small? Was that a plush toy-

KA-BOOM!

Cut back to Teyvat and a frowning Alice was dusting off her hands as she and the other Hexenzirkel members force portal before them to close. Well, that was annoying... and mildly concerning.

She glances back to chaos behind her where Illuga!MC sat on the ground, their scars glowing brightly and flickering with each heaving sob as they clung onto Mister Flins. The man in who was trying to comfort them as more of their friends and family (Nikita was already kneeling on the ground, hands holding his child's cheeks while trying to calm them) came running.

That portal... it came from OUTSIDE the borders of Teyvat. It tried to drag the glowing Lightkeeper into it.

Hm... looks like she's going to have to look into adding some safety measures for Teyvat, and possibly make a call to her husband... Kleiner did often complain to her about certain fractions while traveling the cosmos. He might have more information...

So basically, Trailblazer!MC has almost the same life as TB-to-Illuga!MC, but instead of ending up in Teyvat they go back in time with the rest of the HSR world. Now, Amphoreus does go a little differently. Long story short, Amphoreus immediately picks up on how the Nameless treat Trailblazer!MC and they do not like it. At all.

Phainon picks up on the bad vibes the first time they met, as did Tribbie. Dan Heng wouldn’t let TB!MC talk or go anywhere without him, keeping a tight grip on their arm as he dragged them around. TB!MC’s silence and inaction was a red flag to the people of Amphoreus - even some of the refugee children picked up on it. (They were too used to others inaction and unwillingness to help. They were resigned to the hurt.)

Getting to Okhema, Dan Heng is… displeased that TB!MC could manipulate time, and quietly told them that they would talk later. The Tribbies saw that. Mydeimos picks up on Phainon’s unease about Dan Heng and TB!MC and did their roundabout way of talking/gesturing to try and find out what was going on. He’s the Kremnoan Prince, Mydeimos would need to know body language if he wanted to survive. Castorice would at first assume TB!MC’s twitchiness would be because of her presence, but quickly notices that they flinch whenever Dan Heng moves too abrubtly near them. (Like they’re expecting to be hit)

Aglaea figures out TB!MC is abused immediately, Phainon didn’t even need to indicate or say anything. Her Strings are her sight, and you can’t lie to her - the strings can tell the difference. So when she tries to separate Dan Heng and TB!MC to talk to them about being from beyond the sky, she knows Dan Heng lied when he said that TB!MC was a danger who needed to be under constant watch. Even if Dan Heng believed it, her strings could tell that TB!MC was nothing but a terrified victim of abuse. (It doesn’t matter if they are “a Stellaron pretending to be human”, they are a victim and Aglaea will not let that stand in her city.)

Aglaea does manage to talk to TB!MC alone - Phainon keeping an eye on Dan Heng (He noticed Aglaea becoming colder towards the “Trailblazer”, it confirms his suspicions. Luckily he’s a good enough actor to keep Dan Heng unknowing.) - but she was gentler (especially when seeing the scars hidden by TB!MC’s clothes - there’s a difference between scars acquired from fighting and protecting oneself) and understanding/disquieted when TB!MC said they can’t promise anything since DH wouldn’t listen to them. She tries to hint to TB!MC that if they’re being hurt she’d be willing to help, but TB!MC pretends not to notice the hints.

Aglaea makes sure that the two don’t share a room in the baths, using their ignorance of Okhema’s customs and a guard shift to make sure of it. Phainon has already mentally adopted TB!MC - that’s his baby sibling now.

After that, while Dan Heng and TB!MC are exploring the city, Aglaea has them tailed and does not like what she sees. Nor do the Chrysos Heirs she talks to, or the citizens of Okhema who see them exploring. The duo visit the Dromas stables and that’s when the citizens of Okhema (and beyond) definitively become distrustful and cold towards Dan Heng. The dromases lock in on the two as soon as they enter, with the Okhema herd leader stepping between the two to separate them. He picks up TB!MC by their collar and deposits them with the recently hatched dromases and then refuses to let Dan Heng close. The mothers also stand between him and TB!MC. Anyone who knows anything about dromases know what this means about a person. (The Heretic of the Grove has been known to kill people who set off dromases like this. They always deserve it.)

Hyacine is a doctor and psychologist (and a bunch of other things if I remember canon right), so she notices what’s up immediately and makes sure to have frequent check ups with TB!MC. Anaxagoras is Anaxagoras and the only reason he doesn’t kill Dan Heng immediately upon seeing how the dromases react to him is because he’s injured. And then in Okhema he’s busy with canon events. (Cerces encourages him to murder. She’s disappointed that they “die” before they can kill Dan Heng.) Cipher makes Dan Heng’s life harder in subtle ways, and Cyrene (and Mem) are cold towardds him from the get-go.

Basically, Amphoreus are the original HatersTM of the Express and Dan Heng and March 7th/Evernight are lucky they survived Amphoreus. Both the Chrysos Heirs and ordinary citizens were out for blood. Unfortunately Amphoreus still needed a little more time for it to become physical, so TB!MC was alone and once again surrounded by people only looking to hurt and control them. It’s what pushed them over the edge.

—

When TB!MC explodes their Stellaron and end up back in time, they remember the last timeline and manage to hide before the Nameless find them (Though there were a few close calls). In the chaos of the Antimatter Legion attack they manage to steal a ship and flee Herta Station. They still end up an emanator of Destruction when they get their Stellaron under control under their own will and power. (Nanook seems… softer this time. TB!MC doesn’t want to think about why.)

Their ship was (somewhat unsurprisingly) one of the newest models of research ship (courtesy of Asta), but still managed to be homely, the cat-cakes that snuck into the ship certainly helped. Trash-cake was there and alive, as well as (somehow) the Amphoreus cat-cakes and Akivimeow. All remembered the last timeline and refused to let TB!MC be hurt again.

Unsure of where to go, TB!MC travels aimlessly for a while, keeping an eye out for the Nameless and other people they “knew”. So it was quite the shock when Aha shows up in an explosion of glitter and confetti, calling them “little-Akivili”. THEY are rather rambunctious, but from what TB!MC can understand, THEY were keeping others from remembering and finding them. Aha also makes them an emanator (can’t decide if their mask should be styled after a raccoon or after Khaslana’s wings 🤔).

Shortly after that, Qlipoth shows up when Aha visits again, having sensed the remnants of their Paths from last timeline. THEY had gotten curious and remembered as soon as they saw TB!MC again. So now TB!MC is an emanator of the Preservation again - amber jewellery (earring?) showing Qlipoth’s favour. (The IPC know of another emanator, but can’t find them, no matter how hard they look. An Amber Stoneheart would be great PR, especially directly from Qlipoth THEMSELVES)

Xipe also appears and makes TB!MC THEIR emanator, before directing them to Amphoreus with a comment that they’d be happy there. (The Family also has issues finding the favoured by Xipe emanator of Harmony. Sunday is not helping them)

Amphoreus is… different when TB!MC arrives. The flight there would have been impossible had Fuli not shown up to carry them through the nebula and space debris (after making TB!MC their emanator again). All pathways to this area of space seemed to have disappeared from all systems (Memokeepers don’t usually get rid of information, but what their aeon wants, THEY get. They’re more confused why the Harmony and Destruction are helping. And why they hear the occasional, faint and overlapping with anothers, laughter.)

TB!MC breath catches as they see a Planet where the Scepter should be. They let out a sob when they see a winged black and gold figure flying towards them. Amphoreus remembered and welcomed them home.

After the reunions (Phainon is not letting his baby sibling go), TB!MC gets the full story of how Amphoreus was already real and tangible, with Lygus and Irontomb already dealt with.

From what they could tell, when TB!MC’s Stellaron exploded and turned back time, the energy output was so large that it impacted the Scepter, which with it’s time-looping function and the half-real state of Amphoreus meant that everybody native to the land remembered as soon as it happened. Everybody except Lygus, which made dealing with him much easier. The leftover energy from the Stellaron explosion/time travel was enough to speed up Amphoreus’ manifestation by a lot, and TB!MC arrived just as they were discussing how to get them away from the Express.

—

Onto the small bit inspired by two fics! The concept of them was that Phanes = Phainon, which I thought was cool. (There’s also a lot of videos about this theory but I haven’t watched those)

So my thought to incorporate that in this was the following:

Phanes is a fragment of Phainon pre-Trailblaze intervention

Phanes is the Phainon of another scepter who escaped Zandar’s bullshit by destroying his scepter

Phanes is Phainon from after TB!MC destroyed themselves and split off from Phainon in the time travel

Whichever idea it is, I thought we could have Teyvat try and find the Heavenly Principles weakness or whatever with a scrying spell and they instead open a portal/two way screen onto Amphoreus, where they see Phainon/Khaslana (burst form) with TB!MC. They come to the wrong(?) conclusion that Phanes is like that because his little sibling was hurt/killed.

Maybe TB!MC can see the scrying spell? Would be amusing to have Teyvat and Amphoreus connected. I think Sumeru having to deal with Anaxagoras would be amusing. Proud heretic who insults gods to their faces and who technically could be a deity but just refuses to be one. My blorbo. I want him to meet Saurians.

There’s also interesting parallels between Teyvat and Amphoreus (Tree/Grove of Knowledge, Draconic gods of Earth, Previous gods being killed by their successors (kinda), etc.

I'm living for protective Chrysos Heirs and just protective Amphoreus in general. They saw Trailblazer!MC, and the planet unanimously adopted the hurt bean.

I LOVED every single part of the Chrysos Heirs plus Amphoreus' population protecting Trailblazer!MC from Dan Heng/March 7th/Evernight. From the heirs, regular citizens, and even the Dromas!

Of course, it was sad when Trailblazer!MC had to leave cause Amphoreus wasn't real... yet, and then they just couldn't take it anymore, and you know what happened...

But at least now they had a second chance! They evaded the Nameless and even Herta's Space station detection! They were free!

And they even recollected all their powers from before as the Aeons also remembers them! Soft Nanook? Ah, they adore Trailblazer!MC too~

Ans Amphoreus! It's real! And everyone on the planet rememberd and welcomed Trailblazer!MC home! Ahhhhh! 😭

But sides that... the Genshin Impact Crossover idea. Ooohhh! Here we go! I say we do the 3rd path, cause this makes me think of several ideas why Phanes did what he did.

Cause imagine he remembers Dan Heng. Remembers that Dan Heng, his little sibling's abuser... was a dragon. And Nibelung and his Sovereigns were dragons.

You can see where I'm going with this.

Oh, and I would love to see what kind of interactions Teyvat and Amphoreus would have! Anaxagoros would be a hoot for Nahida and Sumeru to deal with like you said, but I can't help but imagine Nahida finding him funny.

...Oh, and I wonder if Teyvat happens to listen in on the whole issue with a group called the 'Nameless' and get the basic gist that they're bad people who caused Trailblazer!MC die originally... and that one of them was a dragon.

I need Neuvillette to put the puzzle together then on why Phanes acted as he did back when he arrived in Teyvat... ah, that makes sense... 😰

Also, yes, before I forget, Anaxa needs to see a Saurian. It's a must. And Trailblazer!MC needs to see on to! Hey, we can trade cute animal pics! Like see! We got Dromas and Chimeras, and even Cake Cats, can we see these Saurians, please? 🥺

Phanes is a traumatised bean who locks in on that window between Amphoreus and Teyvat. TB!MC gains another, traumatised and clingier brother. Teyvat panics at the renewed activity from the Primordial One, only to be confused when nothing noteworthy happens. TB!MC is, however, not being let go of by Phanes. They don’t mind.

Also, idea! The Geo and Hydro Sovereigns deaths were the most brutal (Imbibtor Lunae - Hydro; Permensor Terrae - Geo). Zhongli has had to deal with more scrutiny from Celestia than the rest of the archons for a very long time. At least now he knows why.

Neuvillette is having a small crisis. It’s one thing for someone to senselessly kill your kind for a power grab, it’s another to do so because they’re traumatised and watched their sibling be abused by/die because of a member of your kind (or similar enough). The parts of him that are Leviathan are still angry at the dragons deaths, but are quieter at finding out the reason. The parts of him that have been the Iudex for centuries want blood for the broken laws and abuse committed.

I do wonder if Apep clocked the trauma? 🤔

I say that the scrying spell gets repurposed as a pathway between the two worlds. (Mostly because Phanes will not handle prolonged separation from TB!MC and Amphoreus well.)

Anaxagoras and TB!MC adore Natlan. The dromases get along well with the Saurians, and TB!MC organises playdates between the Traveller’s Little One and their Dromasilla. The cake cats are having fun exploring, and it seems like new Teyvat-inspired catcakes are showing up.

—

Wait a minute. Teyvat’s reaction to the cycles. It’s reaction to Phanes keeping galaxy-wide destruction at bay for 33,550,337 cycles (not counting Eternal Recurrences, and considering each cycle to be around 1000 years, that’s… 33,550,337,000 years. Tho I can’t quite remember when Phainon started actively working against Lygus). On one hand, yes Phanes fucked up Teyvat, on the other hand how the hell is he still functioning???

Do you think TB!MC should remember Genshin? Could add some interesting plotpoints.

~ 🐸-anon

I think Neuvillette is going to have a bigger crisis once he actually meets Phanes' little sibling... oh, and I would love to be the fly on the wall to hear his, Zhongli, and possibly Apep's reaction to hearing about the full extent the other Dragon, this Dan Heng, did to the Primordial One's young sibling.

It's not pretty. At all.

And I like the idea of Apep being the one to clock the trauma, but rage probably block that theory for a LONG while until Amphoreus connected to Teyvat, and then the theory comes back to her.

Then she sees Phanes' reaction to TB!MC, and oh... yeah, maybe she was right after all...

Then we get to Anaxagoros and Natlan, and I can't help but imagine some Dromas are brought in as a sort of convention? Other Saurians are also brought in, and Natlanese/other Teyvatians are learning about Amphoreus' wildlife. While Amphorians are learning about Teyvatian wildlife.

Anaxa is definitely surrounded by baby Saurians. They all just flock to him and TB!MC. It's super cute!

Oh, and the mention of TB!MC having Dromasilla makes me picture them being their emotional support pet? And we can even give Phainon + Phanes emotional support pets! Possibly Chimeras?

And the cake cats! I actually had an idea I forgot to put into the last ask once I saw the Cake Cats mentioned! Basically, when TB!MC stole that ship it actually had Ruan Mei's, the creator of Cake Cats, Cake Cat machine stored on bored, so that's how the TB!MC had the Cake Cats again!

This could lead to TB!MC eventually showing the machine to a few of their new Genshin friends and lets one of them have a go at the machine... and hello there new Genshin style Cake Cat!

Spoilers, it was the Traveler who got their own Cake Cat first.

...Oh god, the cycles. 😨

Uh, I can see a lot of horror and awe being felt when being explained what exactly Phainon/Phanes went through-

Note, at this point, Phainon and Phanes are basically considered brothers, or even twins.

-and now Teyvatians are suddenly understanding why Hyacine dragged Phanes into manual therapy sessions with his 'brother' AND TB!MC the first chance she got once Amphoreus and Teyvat were connected...

And as for TB!MC remembering Genshin... I say they only remember bits and pieces. If only because of the mental abused, they went through, and all the time wibbly wobbly stuff.

For some reason, I'm just thinking that the Stelleron had chosen Illuga!MC and didn't care that it was supposed to be deactivated and just zoomed through the brief portal and went back to its master.

Hm... would it fuse back with TB!MC to Illuga!MC? Or maybe it takes a form of a small bird or a LOZ fairy, and live in their lantern with Aedon?

Either way, I like the idea!

Where TB to Illuga!MC and Flins are married, and even have a child... but then the Astral Express crew somehow ends up in Teyvat, landing in Nod Krai.

Cue TB to Illuga!MC getting all her memories back at once via Evernight, who is being a cunt, and TB to Illuga!MC has a full blown meltdown as the Astral Express crew starts to surround her.

She has her now crying baby in her arms, she can hear her former tormentors saying something, a hand grabs her hair-

But then it's gone, and all that fills her cision is azure flames... and the familiar baritone voice of her husband.

Evernight, you bitch! Fuck off! Actually, all of you fuck off! Especially you, Dan Heng! 🤬

Ah, I bet it was Dan Heng who grabbed at TB to Illuga!MC's hair! Ugh, that asshole!

Oh... oh wait. I just realized something. Since TB to Illuga!MC was holding their baby, that meant the Astral Express saw the baby... a baby that no doubt looked like TB to Illuga!MC.

What would their thoughts be?! Would they try to get rid of 'it', depending on their thought process at the moment? Dan Heng might do that...

But thank GOD Flins managed to come in with the save! I take it that the Lightkeepers now had the Astral Express in custody? Oh, maybe they call in Alice's help to 'escort' them off Teyvat?

Either way, Flins is pissed. He wants to murder something, but he has a lover and child he needed to comfort.

~ 🐸-anon

—

I say Flins brings out their raccoon habits more when they go on dates - he’s a magpie with his trinkets, Illuga!MC can be a raccoon. Some healing, even if Illuga!MC doesn’t know from what.

Illuga!MC is a glowy! Do their scars glow, or are we going with a different idea? Oooo, if it affects the Wild Hunt, what about Rerir? Is he repelled/attracted (not romantically, like a moth!) to Illuga!MC when they’re being shiny? …what’s Flins’ reaction to his lover being shiny?

(Does the Abyss Sibling send their Order to keep an eye on Illuga!MC - To try and find out if they’re like the Twins and/or to see if Celestia is planning on getting rid of them/attacking them like they did the twins? Does Illuga!MC need to look out for kidnapping attempts or are random hilichurls and Abyss mages helpful for no discernible reason?

Yay! Columbina and Illuga!MC friendship! Does the kuuvakhi make Illuga!MC glow silver/blue instead of the usual gold? Anything from the Frostmoon Scions?

…Okay, I know I came up with Dottore here, but I don’t like how you wrote that. What did your brain come up with Quiet, and how angry at Dottore will it make people?

—

Does Sunday join in on the dislike or is he just confused why people are treating TB!MC like that? Let TB!MC have at least one good relationship in HSR, even if they had a few hiccups in the beginning!

And ouch, disappointed Akivili. Perhaps have the Express experience small malfunctions whenever they treat TB!MC badly? AC and heating not working correctly, food going bad quicker than it was supposed to, washing disappearing, etc. While TB!MC isn’t experiencing any of these issues.

…I just had the funniest image of Aha hitting people with one of those oversized cartoon circus clown hammers labelled “Amnesia”. To make sure they didn’t remember TB!MC.

I love the image of Flins being a magpie while Illuga!MC is a raccoon. It's really, super cute! ...How much you want to bet Alice or Nicole concoct some little fairy tale story about 'The Gentleman Magpie and Starlight Raccoon'?

Yes! Illuga!MC's scars do glow! They even sparkle at times if light hits them just right!

When this happens Flins is definitely paying close attention. Like seriously, his eyes go BIG and he is focusing in on his shiny, sparkly, and so very lovely lover~ He likes shiny things, but he LOVES Illuga!MC more.

Now for Rerir... let's go with the idea that it also has a calming effect on him. Whether this keeps him being tossed into the Moon Gate, you decide.

The Abyss Sibling does end up keeping a close eye on their 'new' family member, but currently, there has been no kidnapping attempts.

Oh, and that idea about Kuuvahki making Illuga!MC glow silver/blue is such a good idea! Though, I can see this leading to some of the Frostmoon scions mistaking them as another Moon deity like Columbina.

To Illuga!MC's exasperation, and Columbina's amusement, the misunderstanding sticks!

...For the Dottore bit, I'm not sure how to begin to describe what happened, but I can tell you Illuga!MC does end up having some massive panic attacks because of the doctor. You can blame phantom trauma due to Herta's Space station and the Geniuese Society for that...

But Flins saves them! And they get plenty of cuddles and comfort afterwards!

Now for Sunday, I was originally thinking of having be like the others, but I'm liking the idea of him being cool with TB to Illuga!MC. If only the more time he spent on the Express, the more he realizes the sheer different in treatment the crew was giving them compared to a member that's been there longer than he has...

Big brother Sunday maybe? Possibly... if TB to Illuga!MC let him in. They were too scared if they let him get close to them the other members would start treating him like they treated TB to Illuga!MC.

And YES. Disappointed parent Akivili. THEY are very, very disappointed with THEIR Trailblazers over their treatment of one of their own. So yeah, they become a petty ass ghost on THEIR own Express! ...Though they regret doing it later because the crew became even more cold and angry towards TB to Illuga!MC because they thought they were causing the malfunctions!

Also, LOVE the idea you had of Aha just hitting people with a giant ass, cartoon hammer! It's so on brand for THEM!

I propose that Sunday remembers everything and he is the only one Aha doesn't bother to bring the ban amnesia squeaky toy hammer down upon, so he has to play Penacony undo everything wrong you and your faction have ever done simulator so that when the astral express gets there, they get a real vacation and not the penacony shitshow and also don't try to recruit him

Meanwhile everyone else feels the effect of something being wrong, something they're forgetting, something they back, not because they liked it but bc it was theirs.

Aha has been working overtime with squeaky toy hammer of amnesia but like their thing is fun not work so they grow a little lax and someone notices that Aha's been "pulling a prank" they don't know what or who they're forgetting but they know it's Aha's fault (genius society or rememberance person)

How do you think the Aeons felt about TB!MC, bc like depending on it, Aha may have to do drastic measures, very much a case of it is near impossible to erase an Aeon's memories permanently and Aha usually doesn't hang around that much unless They're pulling a prank.

I mean that if they felt indifference, Aha may leave them alone for ghost Akivili to talk to about maybe not mentioning them, but like any hatred would be erased and I don't quite know for appreciation.

I've also thought abount an AU where instead of Kafka not being able to pull out TB!MC, she does pull out the unchosen TB which everyone treats better then they ever did TB!MC, at which point Sunday quietly goes to have a breakdown in his room bc whyyyyyy.

Call me 💜 anon

Sunday is safe from the squeaky hammer of doom! 🤣

But yeah, man would have a full on meltdown if saw the HSR verse teeating the unchosen TB WAY better than poor TB to Illuga!MC. He doesn't understand it! That's not fair! That's not fair at all! How can unchosen get all the kindness when TB to Illuga!MC got all the scraps and cruelty?!

Aha also has feelings on this along with ghost Akivili. Neither are happy.

Oh, but idea? Somehow, someway... ghost Akivili/Aha pull the same shit they pulled on TB to Illuga!MC and send Sunday AND Robin to Teyvat.

Not only because Sunday was the only to treat Illuga!MC with kindness, but also so he can spend time with his sister safely.

And when Sunday meets Illuga!MC... he almost cried cause they looked happy.

ANYWAYS, moving onto the story

-

The Stellaron could remember the day Trailblazer!MC had given it a name.

It had been just after the Express left Belobog and Trailblazer!MC was in bed, ignoring the pain that wracked their body.

"Hey" Trailblazer!MC whispered, calling out to the Stellaron.

"Hmm?" The voice sounded similar's to Trailblazer except there was an older one, a deeper one, something OFF, underneath it, an echo.

"What's your name? Call you Stellaron all the time feels rude" Trailblazer!MC whispered.

"I have no need for a name" The Stellaron rumbled, sending soothing feelings through Trailblazer!MC's body, trying to soothe the pain.

"Everyone deserves a name" The amnesiac pouted before relaxing slightly in their bed, they feel a bit better. "How about I make you a name!" Trailblazer!MC brightened.

"...Fine" The Stellaron whispered, trying to hide the way it seemed to lean forward eagerly.

"How about... Starlight?" Trailblazer!MC offered.

"..."

"Too cheesy?"

"No... I like it"

And from that day on Starlight became it's name. The Stellaron had never thought of names before but it quite liked this name, it was after all the name IT'S Trailblazer!MC gave.

-

"Starlight!" Trailblazer!MC cheered, running through the field of red 'spider lillies' (those flowers were WRONG), slamming into the similar figure in front of them.

The Stellaron looked like Trailblazer but it was different too.

"Trailblazer!MC" The Stellaron responded, arms wrapping around Trailblazer!MC, mimicking the movements it had seen others do.

"How are you! Was it boring without me~" The Trailblazer!MC teased.

"...No, I can see everything you do and hear everything you do as well" The stellaron mumbled, fingers clenched tight around Trailblazer!MC's jacket.

"But that doesn't mean it doesn't get boring" The Trailblazer!MC pouted. Trailblazer!MC pulled back enough to look the Stellaorn in the eyes. "How about this Starlight, maybe I can talk to you in my head while I do things? I know you can hear my thoughts"

"That is acceptable" The Stellaron hid how much it's energy flickered happily, but judging from Trailblazer!Mc's expression, they knew.

"Perfect!" Trailblazer!Mc giggled.

Yes.

This was how it should be.

-

The Stellaron felt the other Stellaron the moment they stepped onto the Xianzhou Luofu.

Pain flared up in the body and a few more of the red 'flowers' grew. The Stellaron's energy bubbled angrily, until Trailblazer!MC soothed it gently.

Later when the Trailblazer was looked at by Phantylia. It didn't like this place, not one bit.

What's more, the General, hell no, Dan Heng's past revealed, hell no, Blade and the Stellaron Hunters, hell NO!!!

The Stellaron was this close to taking over and getting Trialblazer!MC AWAY.

The Stellaron felt the gaze of Lan, the nod of acknowledgement. The Stellaron didn't care if Lan liked Trailblazer!MC, it hated this. The Stellaron was only soothed when it had IT'S Trailblazer!MC in it's arms, it's energy wrapping around them.

People were putting Trailblazer!MC into DANGER, unacceptable.

That Dan Heng and the Stellaron Hunters, the entirety of the Luofu, they were DANGEROUS, they would HURT Trailblazer!MC.

No.

The Stellaron won't accept this.

-

Penacony...

The Stellaron hated the dream, too loud, told draining. The dream itself interacted badly with the Stellaron, making Trailblazer!MC hurt even more.

Trailblazer!MC couldn't sleep well, not at all.

And that... Sunday...

The Stellaron hates him, very much.

When Xipe gazed at the Trailblazer!MC, the Stellaron stewed in anger. But at least the path of Harmony caused the pain from the dream to lessen.

When Sunday joined the Astral Express the Stellaron went on a twenty minute rant. That night the Stellaron drew Trailblazer!MC into the mindscape and clung to them tightly, fingers not digging deep enough to cause bruises but it certainly felt like it.

The Trailblazer!Mc was IT'S, no one elses.

And the fact Trailblazer!MC and Sunday have to share a room for the time being, NO.

-

"No no no!!! WAKE UP" The Stellaron screamed. Trailblazer!Mc was dead dead dead!!!

They have to wake up!! They have to wake UP!!!

Trailblazer!MC woke up, but they were still DEAD.

The cycles of Amphoreus caused Trailblazer!MC so much PAIN. The Stellaron was getting more clingy, clinging to Trailblazer!MC everytime they entered the dream realm.

That Phainon got on it's nerves, it wanted to tear him limb from limb. But it hated Iron Tomb, Flame Reaver and Lygus even more. Cyrene/Mem… it hated her, very much, but it also hated her less than Phainon, she was the one after all who kept IT'S beloved Trailblazer alive.

After Amphoreus was deleted they went on their way.

Trailblazer!MC was so much worse though. The Stellaron hated it so much but each time it's anger flared the Trailblazer would whisper, "It's ok Starlight, it's ok"

It's not ok.

They both knew that.

-

Dan Heng stared at the Trailblazer, their back was to him. But then the Trailblazer turned and Dan Heng's breath caught.

Instead of golden warmth, their eyes were a cold and bottomless violet.

No…

Their arms… their hair… what happened!

This isn't the Trailblazer!MC!!!

"Who are you?" He hissed. "Leave their body NOW," he demanded, summoning his spear, anger in his eyes.

The thing possessing the Trailblazer just tilted it's head, eyes cold and blank even as a too wide grin lifts it's lips. The smile was wrong, too wide, showing too many teeth.

"Why would I leave? I've always been here" the thing cooed mockingly.

He can't lose them, not again, he can't lose anyone else!

Dan Heng's mind raced.

Always been here… the Trailblazer!MC's memories of their time before waking up in Herta Space Station were all gone.

Was this their past self?

No.

This isn't quite like what happened with Evernight.

An alternate personality perhaps? It said it had always been here. Perhaps when they had lost their memories, this alternate personality had been sealed away and Amphoreus somehow unsealed it.

"Let them back in control" He demaned, pointing his spear at them.

The thing just grinned wider, hands clasped behind it's back. The alternate personality snapped it's fingers and the shadows SURGED. They became phsyical, pinning Dan Heng to the wall, making holes in the wall of the Express where it struck the metal. Dan Heng couldn't move, he could barely breath.

Panic surged in his soul and mind when he saw the thing start to walk away. No no no!!! He can't lose them again!! Not after 1000 years of searching for them!!

The thing let the shadows swallow it whole and then the thing and Trailblazer's body was GONE.

Welt, Himeko, Pom Pom, and March 7th, ran in seconds later. The shadows were still pinning Dan Heng to the wall. He couldn't breathe well, much less speak.

It took a few minutes before finally the shadows dissolved and became part of the shadows once more.

Dan Heng fell to his knees, a hand going to his throat. A flurry of questions were thrown but Dan Heng looked at them, fear in his eyes.

He cried out, "Trailblazer!MC is GONE!"

Misunderstandings are made…

Basically Dan Heng thinks the Stellaron (he doesn't know it's a Stellaron) is an alternate personality that Trailblazer!MC had but was later sealed when they lost their memories but somehow Amphoreus had unsealed it. He is panicking a lot.

So is everyone else.

But uhhh… Hope this made sense and it was enjoyable.

Feel free to take away or add anything you want. Also feel free to choose what happens next

Ooohhh... I like the little scenes that showed Trailblazer!MC and the Stellaron 'Starlight' bonding. It's sweet~

...But it's also sad cause Starlight knows Trailblazer!MC is suffering. They want to help, but every single fucking person around their special person keeps fucking things up!

Oh boy, that ending, the misunderstandings, this is going to get so very messy...

Also, the call back to Dan Heng 1000 year search for Trailblazer!MC makes me wonder if he could possibly develop a yandere like obsession with Trailblazer!MC now that they're missing.

Would make for so much angst potential if Starlight personally explains Trailblazer!MC's TRUE condition... but it's just an idea. You don't have to put it in.
