Summary
Larissa, the most observant of her siblings, finally notices the bundle Neptune is currently carrying with his upper arms. “Neptune, what's that?”
He laughs, such a reaction always coming naturally to him. “I brought you guys a new playmate! He'll be entertaining you all when I'm not around due to orbital reasons!”
A chorus of cheers erupts from the moons, as they climb up his set of arms to see who their new playmate would be.
“What's their name?” asks Galatea, completely excited to play with the moon once he wakes up.
Neptune smiles, tilting his head. “Triton.”

Before Neptune's insanity, he had been kept unstable by his paranoia, causing him to capture something that he should not have.

Summary
Neptune was a lot of things.
Silly. Flexible. Really good at math. Introspective. Ice giant. Planet. Blue. Not bound by the confines of reality.
But one of the things Neptune also was, one of the things people often didn't connect back to Neptune was that he was a protector.
Sure, maybe in regards to his orbit and the Kuiper Belt but considering his mental state it was easy to write him off on that.
But Neptune was good at protecting the others from other things, or at least... tries to.
Sometimes at the expense of himself.
OR: 3 times Neptune smiled and tried to protect someone at his own expense, 1 time he questioned if it was enough, and the 1 time he finally cracked.

Neptune has always had a strange memory.
Shifting and disappearing much like the planet himself.
It's not a problem, really.

Summary
Once again, the star, planets, dwarf planets, and moons are summoned under an invitation to watch the next Earthling creation. This time, however, they are joined by an actual Earthling. And they are not so much 'watching' as they are 'listening'.
While the reluctant Astrodude is just trying to get through this new barrier standing between him and the end of his mission to go home to his wife and son, the rest of the Solar System is dealing with their own uncomfortable relations to the songs they are being presented with.
Set after the third in this series, 'Reacting to 'Deadliest Pattern in Nature'.

Summary
But sixteen, sleeping angels were attached to him and his all-consuming gravity right now, leaving him unable to escape into the kuiper belt. And Neptune would never let his moons see that.
...He wasn't even alone, so why was he so upset about being alone?
Neptune pressed the back of his hand to his eyes, trying to stifle the quiet sob that followed next- but it came anyway. A shaky, breathy gasp followed, causing him the hand in his hair to move back to his mouth again. He tried to breathe through it, tried to stop, stop before his moons actually wake- but his stupid brain refused to listen, as always.
Quiet tears stained his sleeves, but at least he made no sound. At least, Neptune thought, he did that right.
Until... a tiny, impossibly small, delicate body pressed itself against the back of his neck.
And Neptune froze.
Or
After the Sun ordered everyone to remain in their true orbits and stay there, Neptune isn't doing so well.

Summary
Triton was sitting down on an asteroid; watching the kids play. It was a strong temptation to just fall asleep right there—but he knew that the kids would probably wake him up.
He started zoning out, staring into the empty space before he felt a small pull of gravity, which brought him back into reality. Triton had to squint before he looked down at Sao. "Yeah, kiddo?"
Sao glanced back at Galatea, who gave him a thumbs up, before he asked, "Big Brother? Are you and Luna doomed yaoi?"
Or Triton finally getting sleep and Luna taking care of the Neptunian Moons.

Summary
Babies. His babies. He never should have let them do this. He’s going to lose them all. He couldn’t protect his two long lost babies from the collision. He lost his mind and all his moons in the Kuiper Belt. And now he’s going to lose them all again. Triton. Nereid. Proteus. Larissa. Despina. Galatea. Naiad. Thalassa. Halimede. Sao. Laomedeia. Neso. Psamathe. Hippocamp. S/2002 N-5. S/2021 N-1.
He’s going to lose them all.
And maybe- maybe this wouldn’t have happened if Neptune didn’t disappear all the time. Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if Neptune listened to his friend’s concerns. Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if Neptune wasn’t as much of a dimwit.
(...)
It wasn't revenge to Caelus. It wasn't! ...right?Neptune never got it. Never understood. Neptune may have been fine with his orbit. With the loneliness and losing his mind, but Caelus wasn’t. How could he be?
Well, whatever. Neptune got what he wanted. Everyone did. Everyone’s story gets a happy ending. Except for Caelus', as usual. Because stars forbid he's allowed to be happy.
Neptune and Uranus during and after the BOPX arc: them grappling with the possibility of losing their moons… and one another.

Summary
Triton sees a side of Neptune that he’s never seen before, and realizes how much he cares.
-
Bookmark Notes:
“No, you didn’t forget. The earthlings just discovered them. They didn’t have names until today.” That was the truth. At least, Triton had never seen them around before.
Neptune sniffled, finally looking at Triton. “So my memory’s not getting worse?”
Triton gripped his arm. “Let’s check. What were the names of the two new moons?”
“S/2002 N-5 and S/2021 N-1.” Neptune answered effortlessly. His head perked up when he realized what he just said.
Triton chuckled. “There you go. Your memory’s still good.”
Neptune smiled, and threw his arms around Triton. Triton stared at the wall, surprised, but not mad. He awkwardly hugged his planet back.“I love you.” Neptune said suddenly. “I love you and the kids so much- my moons are the only thing that makes me want to remember anything at all.” The captured dwarf pursed his lips. Damn. He didn’t think of himself as someone worth remembering, but Neptune really loved him. And he knew he didn’t mean “I love you” romantically.
“I love you, too.” Triton responded. Never in his life did he think he would be saying that to Neptune, or anyone for that matter.
“And the kids?”
“And the kids.” Neptune and the other moons weren’t “like” his family, they were his family.Neptune pulled away. “I can take my medicine.” Triton gave him the pill and the glass of water. Neptune threw his head back, dropping the pill in, and immediately swallowed the water. “Uh, you can go to your dwarf planet friends, now.” He lied down on the bed and covered himself in blankets.
Triton watched Neptune and considered it. The dwarf planets would be fine without him for one evening. He remained sitting on the edge of the bed. “I think I’ll stay here a little longer.”

Summary
Waking up on the surface of Earth was bad enough.
Waking up as a squishy Earthling was worse.
And waking up as an Earthling that both does not exist and also posses a threat to the dominant Life on the planet was outright disastrous.The planets and a selection of moons have all found themselves in the bodies of dragons, stuck on the surface of a planet they have little knowledge of how to survive on. With the vague goal of reaching the North Pole with everyone alive and intact, the group will have to contend with some of the hardest challenges the surface can throw at them. All while avoiding the notice of the humans, who will surely hunt them down or capture them as threats or curiosities.
(Unrelated to my other fics. Set after the exile of Ganymede and Europa.)
Updates will be random, sorry.-

Summary
There are pearls forming in Neptune's hair every now and then. The Ice Giant is always a bit embarrassed by the glowy small orbs that seem too noticeable in his blue locks. And yet...
Throwing them away felt wrong.
Like a part of himself is getting discarded. So, Neptune choose a different way for them to still hold use- sew them on his moons, his treasures- clothes.
OR:
Neptune left a mark on his children that will always lets him remember.
Or or:
4 times they notice and 1 time they realise the purpose.

Summary
Jupiter was tempted to turn around. To run, to catch up to the ice giant, to beg him for forgiveness and to please come back. X didn't like him- hated him, which was his right. But even if Jupiter kept the asteroid belt in check- why did that have to mean Planet X couldn't be part of their Solar System? Why did that mean he had to be alone, so awfully isolated, away from his home? Jupiter knew X wanted to come back.
So why did he leave so easily on his own? What happened when Jupiter was banished? What did he-
"Are you gonna keep staring, or will you join us soon?"
Jupiter yelped at the sudden voice, actually flinching back into the darkness once more. His anticipation spiked, his heart racing as he glanced up toward the Kuiper Belt- and locked eyes with-
For a moment, Jupiter thought he was looking at Planet X.
His heart stopped, and his breath stuttered. But then he blinked and looked again.
Neptune smiled at him.
Or
Jupiter returns to the Solar System.
....A lot seems to have happened during his absence.

Summary
He glanced over at his moons, who were now playing with the moons of Uranus- Triton, Nereid, Proteus, Larissa, Despina, Galatea, Naiad, Thalassa, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia, Neso, Psamathe, Hippocamp, S/2002 N-5 and S/2021 N-1. All were accounted for.
"Neptune?" Uranus sounded even more worried too. Neptune looked at his feet, pulling his arms away from the other ice giant while his body tensed- why did Uranus need to sound so nice? It made him emotional and he didn't like that. Neptune was supposed to be smiley and giggly, not whatever was happening right now. So he got a little upset and imagined some things, was that so bad? The most useless planet who kept losing either his moons or his mind, why would anyone ever want to be near-
"Cousin?"
"..."
"...Oh, Neptune." Uranus' expression softened immensely when the other planet's eyes filled up with tears.
Or
If there is one thing Neptune doesn't forget, its his moons.
If there is one thing he does forget... is that his precious babies nor the other planets do not forget their love for him- no matter how forgetful he may be.

Summary
His orbit had never been this dark.
Or cold. Neptune shivered, pulling his hood up while hugging himself as he hesitantly looked around- usually, he would start seeing Sun more clearly by now. His orbit should be warming up again as the area cleared, and then once again, he would get to hang out with Uranus.
Only... his orbit hadn't stopped becoming darker. Or colder. At this point, the Sun had become a distant dot in the sky. He... couldn't see anyone- not Uranus, Jupiter, or Saturn. Nobody.
Okay. Maybe his orbit changed again. That's fine. The solar system was always changing. No reason to worry!
He giggled to himself
nervouslyand turned around- the Kuiper Belt looked closer than their star at this point. That... wasn't good, right? Wasn't that too far?No, no, it's fine. His orbit will go back to normal soon enough.
This isn't fine. Go back.
Or
How Neptune lost his mind in his orbit.
And how it affects him now.
He really wished he could remember more. If not for himself- for his moons, at least.

Summary
The couple seconds of absolute terror Neptune had felt when his moons all gathered in front of him, and he'd counted only fifteen.
Oh cosmos, the planet was sure his heart had actually stopped at that moment.
He'd counted once more. Twice. A third time, more panicked each time. And yet, the number stayed fifteen. His moons had panicked too, shifting and moving so much it was nearly impossible to get them to stay still long enough for a roll call.
Triton, Nereid, Proteus-
Proteus.
He was missing Proteus.
He'd almost lost it.
It was a good thing X noticed him though- the relief, even if short-lived, had been enough to hold his anger against the larger planet back. At least for a little bit.
Oh, his brave little star.
Or
The aftermath of the battle against Planet X, from Neptune's perspective.

Summary
When they were little, and too small for words- the ice giants had communicated with each other through sound.
Clicks and purrs they hadn't even realized they were making until each had been lifted into the warm and loving gaze of the Sun- who'd spoken in words they didn't even know they were capable of speaking until they heard his voice, caring and soft as he whispered their names like a prayer, admiring ones pretty wings and stroking the other's fins and tail.
It didn't take long to notice that back then, when there were no moons, no rocky planets, no dwarf planets and only four giants, they were the only ones capable of producing such sounds.
One stopped making them because he felt embarrassed by his differences.
The other stopped because he forgot he could.
Or
After the moons returned hurt from their battle against Planet X, Uranus started an old habit he couldn't even remember doing in hopes of healing his moons... and his dear cousin, after worrying about him too.
OR
Apparently, fish and birds can purr.

Summary
Hands went up into his hair and yanked- harder and harder, as if the pain would shake him awake. His panic broke the quiet of his orbit, gasps and sobs going unheard. He wanted to run away. He wanted to run, to flee, to leave- to wake up.
To look away.
"Please." Neptune choked, collapsing on the ground. His entire being looked unstable and sickly- even if his gravity felt lighter now. He hated it. He absolutely hated it.
"I'm sorry. Come back" He pleaded through his cries. He hit his head with his fists, multiple times, trying to wake up. Wake up. Give me my moons back.
Give me my babies, and I will never leave my orbit again.
Wake up.
There was no waking.
Just the silence his moons would now never be able to fill.
Or
Neptune hadn't meant for his moons to get hurt.

Summary
"Neptune!" Neptune more felt than saw Thalassa scream, as close to his face as she could possibly be- any and all sleepiness or disorientation vanishing the second he saw the state she was in.
She looked terrified.
And finally, the rest of the screams finally registered.
Asteroids were raining down on them.
"NEPTUNE!"
Asteroids were raining down on them.
His babies, his-
His ears rang.
Neptune moved on autopilot, stretching out his arms the second his mind finally registered danger- but he froze once again when he reached for his gravity to push said danger away.
"Did... my gravity...?"
His gravity.
His G R A V I T Y-
"PROTEUS!!"
CRASH!
Or
The collision with an unknown celestial body Neptune's second-largest moon apparently was in.
