Disco Star

Summary:

Told by Garnok of the arrival of Aideen's latest chosen, the Dark Riders sink the ferry carrying her. Amidst the mess of lifeboats and shouts, what's one more young child slipping under the waves?
But the Goddess is loath to part with what is hers. She brings her charge to the shore, and though she lives, she is not unscathed. Memories of the before and of the self are gone. But... Perhaps that can be of use to Aideen. Perhaps this one will not prove as much trouble as the previous one.

OR: Playing around in the SSO main story using disco-elysium-ish mechanics and vibes. Will add character tags as they show up and additional tags as the story progresses! This will be a collection of art, drabbles, and whatever sounds fun to make in the moment to me. Do not expect regular updates of any kind haha I'm just posting this AU on AO3 to have an easy place to put everything together.

You don't need to have played either game to read this, due to Amnesia Fuckery and me disassembling Star Stable canon like legos, all necessary lore will be explained in-fic. eventually. if youre confused, so is MC.

Chapter 1: Introductions

Notes:

hiiii welcome to my this #mythis!!

Chapter Text

Let's start with some quick setting up before getting into the story! 

The skills!


A little info on each skill's Whole Deal:

  • Gold : Wants the druids to regain the power they once had.
  • Root System : Cares very little for the humans. If anything, it would prefer the wild horses to be its only inhabitants.
  • Glimpses : Want Pandoria to stop being the playground of powerhungry humans, and will support whoever is closest to getting Garnok OUT of its GODDAMN ENTRAILS.
  • Equine Expertise : Status quo master. Urges MC to respect authority figures. Makes weird comments about women in positions of power.
  • Wild Whisper : Believes humans and horses to be equals in all aspects. Thinks Jorvik City is an abomination that alienates one from the world.
  • Stirrups : Might makes right; if you want to move up in the world, you have to win the race!
  • Waves : It's such a beautiful island. Why bring politics into it? Don't you just want to have a fun vacation?
  • Questing Beast : RISE AND GRIND, BABY! These shillings aren't going to earn themselves.
  • Lighthouse : Thinks all the tourists are ruining the beauty of the island. Nostalgia for a time that only ever existed in idealized memories and picture books.

 

okay yay. actually written-out story can start now!
