I’ve gotten so into the @stargaze-au by @nyerinnn3 on insta!
I’m admittedly a bit fuzzy on the details as the au’s still in development, but from what I understand It’s like this SteamPunky Dystopian Magic au where Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk were childhood friends, until one day Shadow Milk was selected by the nefarious High Council to give up his identity to be a bearer of all truth, and PV, not knowing what caused Smilk’s disappearance, dedicated his life to tracking his friend down. There are so many beautiful moments and character designs and details in this story, I truly recommend everyone go follow the official Stargaze account on insta! There’s a few artists (on insta: @/nyerinn3 , @/majorarcana.cos , @mystiffox , @scribblin-spider , @/skystellations ) working on it, and it’s been such a pleasure to watch it develop :))
Hey, just thought I'd stop by and say that your cookie run fics are my absolute favorites (and I have read a LOT in this fandom). Your understanding of the dynamic between sdvn is very impressive. You're also uniquely good at maintaining a sense of dreamy uncertainty from the perspective of your protags. Big fan. I've reread wleadb a shameful amount of times. Hope you are well.
thank u so much 😢😢 i rly appreciate it!! unfortunately i am not doing Very Well so i have no idea when the next chapter is coming out… rly sweet of u to reach out ❤️
the stars are dead. we gaze up as if salvation will find our ruined hands anyway. the moon remains cold.
"Take your seats, congregants. Our sermon is about to begin." "May His Illuminance light your path to True Knowledge!"
Stargaze is an AU built upon the question: "What if the Fount wasn't immediately born into his role?"
A young child was once taken from the slums and remodeled into a Vessel of the Divine, for the People. They call and call for His Illuminance, The Fount of Knowledge, and He answers and answers and answers. For this dying world, ruined by man's folly, will continue to reach up for the Divine– and this Vessel is their closest source.
In the slums, another small child grows up alone, working hard for a developing rebellion whilst searching a long lost friend.
Curious? Come visit us in the SPIRETOP ! This is the AU's discord server.
In other words: Here's an official intro to our collab AU! The Founcil have mostly been yapping about this in Instagram Stories (looks at Rinee) and since we just got the discord set up I might as well spread the gospel for interest, because the only ones who have tumblr are me and @scribblin-spider LOL. hey Billy
Anywho, to add more context:
Yes, the two kids were Shamil and PV. The AU is set in a scifi/steampunk dystopian world, and I'm pretty sure they're not cookies here. The location is based on the Creme Republic and its hierarchy/classism, with the Palace being home to the Elites and the St. Pastry Cult and the Mudtown as the "slums."
There are multiple sub-AUs for this AU, yes, it's that deep HAHA. While everything above is the Original, we have a Reverse variant and a Twin Vessels variant.
Reverse is, as the name suggests, a role-reversal between PV and SM. PV is called Truthbearer here. SM is.. well. He never looked for PV because he thought he was dead. He's not doing all that great himself.
Twin Vessels is where both of them were remodeled into Vessels. Truthbearer and Fount. Honestly, even as two vessels they are very codependent inseparable from each other, so they're practically one vessel anyway.

The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
