Summary
“I could help.”
Mercury turned. It was still hard to see in the darkness but Venus just knew the smaller planet was wearing a skeptical expression. “Uh… really?”
“‘S just feathers, right? Can’t be that hard.”
That didn’t seem to imbue Mercury with confidence. Rude.
“Alright then. Go bald on your own.”
“I’m not—“ Mercury flapped irritably and slumped. “You’re… being serious?”

Summary
Ah, right. He was supposed to be working on his ‘listening skills’. The star crossed his arms and tilted his head, pressing his lips together.“When…” Astrodude started, then seemed to rethink, shaking his head. “Did you have any help? With taking care of the planets?”
Oh. Was that why he came outside? It was a stupid question. Sol shifted his weight, shrugging. “Nope!”
A silence. “Really? No one?”
“Nope.” Who would Sol have gotten help from?
———On Earth’s surface, Astrodude and Sun have a conversation.

Summary
Earth pulled the book out of orbit, flicking through it while talking. “It’s more of a logic puzzle than math, but it does have numbers so um… technically? I think…” he trailed off and cleared his throat. “Would you like to learn how to play?”
“Yes!” Neptune liked numbers after all. And it was quieter here. He folded his legs up beneath him and leaned forward, attentive.
“It’s actually meant to be a one person game,” Earth explained, showing him the contents of the pages. A grid with a seemingly random scattering of numbers going from one to nine. Neptune felt himself perk up even more. “I can teach you the basics— you’ll probably pick it up fast anyway— and then I can give it to you for you to do in your orbit?”
Neptune tapped his fingers together excitedly, and nodded.

Summary
“So, you’re… our star?”
Sol nodded, and dimly realised tears were dripping down his face. When did that happen? Probably a while ago.
“Hello,” he rasped, and oh, his voice sounded horrible this was not a good first impression. He cleared his throat and sniffled, raising his hands to wipe his eyes and stiffening when the tiny planets flinched away. “Sorry, I’m just…”
He didn’t know how to finish that sentence. Overwhelmed? Relieved? Guilty? Grieving? He sighed heavily. Words were hard, and he was tired.

Summary
Earth’s hands slipped down to his shoulders and squeezed. “Just… tell me if they get worse, alright?” Earth smiled and tried to inject a little levity into his voice. “Otherwise we might have to send half the solar system to fish you out of the Kuiper Belt, too.”
Luna’s face shuttered as some unreadable emotion seemed to hit him. Earth instantly backpedaled. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Can you go five minutes without upsetting someone. “Sorry. Too soon right? Yeah, of course it’s too soon, I—“
“I’m sorry.”

Luna starts having flashbacks to Proto and Theia. This opens up a much needed conversation.

Summary
His moons, who always said his name correctly and had wanted to talk to him from the start. Not by them.
This was perhaps the one time Uranus should have left them with someone else.
He teared up, fighting the wetness in his eyes despite the pressure it caused in his head, as he held out a single finger for his moon to take. Violenta, ever curious, took it instantly, giggling and nuzzling into the warmth of his surface.
Uranus wasn't warm. He was the coldest planet in the solar system.
But he was warm compared to their surroundings.
"...You deserve better, mate." He sniffed, trailing with the pad of his finger down her cheek. The little moon purred contentedly, wings instantly relaxing and drooping behind her. "You really, really do."
Or
Looking for planets to rescue in the emptiness of space isn't as easy as the rogue planets made it out to be. Uranus didn't want to be doing this.
And he didn't want to doom his moons with him.
...Moons who are very, very scared. And very, very bored.

Summary
They had not been born, though that did not mean they had no beginning. They did not age, though that did not mean they could not end.
An eternity ago, a collection of rocks had come together under its own gravity and formed a sphere. And when that sphere settled into place, it awakened.
And it had not been human.
