Moonlight

Summary:

Set 2 years after the events of 'Cleaved', Marco experiences strange events; all seem to hint that magic may not be destroyed after all. Elsewhere, Mina is still out and still seeking vengeance.

-Knowledge of the show is required, but can still be enjoyed without prior knowledge anyway.-

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter Text

Upon spending more time to write this book, I realise there are some characters and plotlines from the TV show you would not know or care about without the proper introduction. So to have people who have not seen the TV show an equal chance to enjoy the book, I have decided to add something to highlight some important bits from the show which are going to play here.

‘Moonlight’ is based on the Disney TV show ‘Star vs The Forces of Evil’ which aired from March 2015 to May 2019. The basic premise of the show is of a teenage princess finding her place as queen of her fantasy kingdom Mewni with her best-friend from Earth. The core characters of the show, and my story, are:

  • Star Butterfly, the magical Mewman princess who could do magic;
  • Marco Diaz, her human best friend who is her boyfriend by the end of the show;
  • Tom Lucitor, Star’s half-demon half-Mewman ex-boyfriend and Marco’s current best friend;
  • Mina Loveberry, the antagonist of the last season with an unwavering loyalty to the past when Mewmans and monsters wouldn’t get along; and
  • The Glogbor family of three with:
    • Eclipsa Butterfly, Star’s relative;
    • Globgor, a full-on monster and Eclipsa’s husband; and
    • Meteora, the child of the two.

 

The story takes place 2 years after the series finale ‘Cleaved’, wherein Star and Marco destroy the presence of all magic in the universe, ridding her and her family of magical powers and in the process cleaving Earth and Mewni into one combined world.

There will definitely be some references to the original TV show which an average reader may not get. For that, I apologise, but it won’t really matter much to the overall story and narrative. I try my best to make my fanfictions a blend of original storytelling and with knowledge that my readers are familiar with the source material (one of the best things about AO3 actually), and even if they are not, they can still understand and appreciate the story for what it is.

If you are not familiar, I thank you for actually reading this, and hope this introductory chapter helps you understand. With that, enjoy the story!
