this took me so damn long for god's sake
Official Sun and Moon designs in my kharaa au!
Sun is based on a reaper Leviathan, and Moon a ghost leviathan. They are not related by blood, however, they have grown up together and treat each other as if they were brothers.
Sun can't see well in the dark, but a fun fact is that leviathan reapers could be blind, it's not known for sure, what is certain is that they have echolocation, if you listen to it he can see you.
Moon can see in the light, but that would give him a headache and he prefers not to show his face there. Their neon lights dull in the light and turn a dull gray.
Although the design of Y/N is up to each one's choice, this is what I have in mind when I write about them
Some extras without importance under the cut
I'm proud of these backgrounds, really
Yyy transparent images of the boys, I just wanted to show Moon's because in her drawing the silhouette of her tail is not visible, but it wouldn't be fair not to put Sun in a transparent background image
I will work on the eclipse design some day, for now I will dedicate myself to writing the second chapter

Day 3: Chill
Subnautica au! Mer sun and Moon, they/them for insert, cuddles
I've been reading not enough subnautica aus, so i went a little feral. you know what thing where someone puts their cold feet or hands on their partner? Ya thats Moon. Anywhos
The base was frozen. That was the only explanation that came to mind as they groggily slipped into awareness, some logical part in the back of their brain knew they should get up and find whatever faulty wire had let the temperature drop so low, but they would be damned if they crawled out of the warm bubble of their blankets. Groggily they poked their head out, snatching up their datapad before diving back under to ignore the freeze that nipped their ears.
It didn’t give them anything helpful, chiming off that they needed to conserve heat while looking through the paneling with their scanner. That sounded like an activity for someone not in their undersuit, preferably one with thick slippers. And maybe a hat.
With what could only be described as the world's most tortured groan they rose, stumbling towards their wetsuit as they clung to the blankets last bit of warmth. Their feet were already frozen by the time they slipped it on, going as far as to wear the flippers to avoid frostbite.
“I knew I should’ve stayed in the shallows.” They grumbled halfheartedly. They knew they needed to get deeper, and the rocky cliff they were clinging to was the easiest way down to the river, but hell if they didn’t miss the warm waters of the shallows. Something distant splashed up in the moonpool, a quiet rumble soothing their concerns. They frowned and shivered as they scanned the bedroom, moving down the hall to meet Moon who was, as usual, tracking water through the base.
“Rude.” They grumbled, ignoring his purr that turned into a little coo. He shuffled in front of their scanner as it buzzed, looming up to stare at their face. “Ya stinker?” He frowned and stuck out his tongue, though it didn’t last long. Instead he placed his hand over their head, which made them pull back from the chill of the water that clung to his skin.
“Hurt?” He whined, beginning to nose under their blanket cape for a wound.
“No, not hurt. Just cold.” He frowned, clicking over the word a few times as he circled them. “Cold, like not warm. Shallows are warm, down here is cold.” He chuffed, his tail wetly slapping the floor as he stared at them. “You’re also cold.”
“Cold… Bad?” He frowned.
“Not necessarily. It’s only bad if it's too cold.” They gestured to the room, scanning the wall again. “I gotta find whatevers making my base cold and fix it.” Moon hummed, following them for a bit before piping back up.
“I’ll be back. Get Sun.” They hummed a goodbye, sighing as the scan came up clean yet again. It wasn’t life threatening by any means, they were dry enough, but the combination of flippers and blanket cape made getting around the space difficult. They managed to get through the green house, after fretting over all the plants, and into the moonpool by the time their companions came back. Sun skittered towards them immediately, stopped only by Moon tugging his tail back.
“Wet.” He chided, pulling up to the opposite wall to shake off.
“Oh NOW you respect my wishes.” They snorted, teeth chattering as they shook. It was even worse in here. The scan relieved their greatest worries, the insulation in the left wall was soaked. They pulled off their blanket and prepared to dive in to patch the hull, stopped by Sunny’s warm hands on their neck.
“Cold??” He fretted, purring as they leaned into his hands. Despite the dampness they could feel the heat coming back to his skin.
“Ya, I gotta fix the outside before it’ll warm up again.” They hummed, content to just stay there in Sun’s grasp to soak up the heat. Sun seemed pretty content with that plan too, pulling them back as Moon snatched up their scanner.
“I'll fix.” He grumbled, clicking the button repeatedly and staring at the little laser grid it lit on the floor.
“You don’t know how.” He rolled his eyes.
“Get rock, point, fix.” Okay, maybe he did know. Props to Alterra for making tech so easy they supposed.
“Only because you’re so nice.” They taunted, trying to tighten their jaw to keep their teeth from clacking. Sun quickly scooped them and the blanket up, carrying them deeper into the base as Moon sank below the water. They didn’t protest when he removed their flippers, wrapping them both in the blanket to lay on the bed. They could feel his heartbeat under his scales, coursing warmth through his limbs as he rubbed little circles on their back.
“Better?” They sighed, snuggling a bit closer to warm their nose.
“Mmhm…” They mumbled, suddenly much sleepier. Their datapad beeped as Moon resurfaced, clamoring into the room with a wet shake.
“Fix. When warm?”
“Mm…” They squinted at the pad. “An hour or two.” Moon seemed annoyed with the answer, Sun chose to snuggle closer instead.
“I'm warm.” He purred, seemingly pleased with the situation at hand.
“Yep, very warm.” They snorted, giggling as Moon whined at the foot of the bed. “Why are you pouting?” They taunted, pulling away to get a better look. Moon growled softly, his lure wagging.
“... Cold.” He mumbled, eyeing the bed and Sun with clear jealousy. Sun clicked something and pulled them a little tighter, eyeing his still damp skin.
“You can come warm up if you dry off-” They didn’t get to finish their request before he was scampering off and rubbing himself on the towels. He returned even quicker, leaping into bed rough enough to make it bounce. They were glad they opted for the two person size, even then it was squished with two mers around them. At least the blanket stopped Moon’s chill from leaching their heat. Moon purred quietly, curling his tail around their form and over Sun’s back, wiggling down into the blankets quickly.
“Cold!!” Sun squeaked, pressing even closer to the human sandwich in the middle as Moon cackled.
“Warm.”

Here he is, Mer-Moon from Galaxies, Lost in Ice! This took forever to get just right, between the creepvine (why did I think that was a good idea) and the shelf coral (I love the colors of it, I hated doing it) to trying to pick colors and redesigning Moon's head. In the context, Moon's head fin does glow (when he wants it to). I wanted to leave it optional on the coloring though. Moon has a large crescent shaped scar! ... on the other side of his face that I will eventually draw (one of these days). Compared to where he started, he looks pretty awesome now!!! Thiw was fun to work on, even if I frustrated myself (lost layers several times, crossed layers on accident, lots of "which layer is that dot on" and "why did I do it this way". The metal nib on my Cintiq definitely made this WAY easier, I spent way less time stressing about how badly I was wearing down the nib and wondering about replacing it and all that.
(Posting the lineart versions with transparent background and optional shading here too. I missed the deadline for the coloring book to officially submit it there, but I wanted it to still be available for people that wanted it! If you do color it, please just tag me as the original artist, I'd be excited to see some people's interpretations!)

(Subnautica/fnaf eclipse au related 💙)
My thoughts on subnautica eclipse au before security breach dlc (like everyone else): eclipse it a giant leviathan mermaid/monster that lives in the deepest parts of the ocean the will kill anything that comes into its territory, if you can hear him it already to late
My thoughts after security breach dlc: aww ❤ he's just a big boi, him so sweet, him gentle giant, accidently bumps in to whale and will start apologizing like human when accidentally step on dog paw, can not hurt a thing (unless 👀 . . .), "I shall name him Sqishy and he will be my Sqishy" vibe but he BIG!, loves friends, so sweet, wants to help stranded human survive, sweet-fish-bean-pole ❤❤❤❤❤ (still probably scary look though 😅)
