Summary
When a single night turns Smiling Valley into a dangerous, paranoia-inducing, monster-filled nightmare, stress begins piling on top of DogDay, leader of the Smiling Critters, causing him to buckle under its weight. Life's already hard when the stars themselves seem judge you, after all. But when scavenging leads him to a bunker deep in the woods, he finds more than answers. He finds a piece of his life that he lost long ago.

Hello All! This is my second (technically first) fic ever, and is one that I have already written and am almost finished writing on FanFiction.net. Unfortunately, while there are some things I like about that story, it doesn't hit the mark in terms of pacing, coherency, and decent writing for me, personally. At times while reading, things felt as if they were simultaneously shambling slowly and moving way too fast (Almost the whole thing takes course in the span of less than a day.) I will continue that fic until I reach what I feel is an acceptable endpoint, which is soon, but as for right now, I wanted to rewrite bits, add more flesh, and fix some issues I felt with the pacing. Thus, I present: StarChild, rewritten and remastered. Please enjoy, and feedback is greatly appreciated! :)

Summary
With the death of an eldritch god in the form of the Prototype and the banishment of something far larger than any of them, life suddenly became far too quiet for the Smiling Critters. Where there was once fear and paranoia, now lies in its absence uneasy peace and tranquility. Even still, recovering their once simple ways of life will not be easy, especially not for the one critter who once sat in the middle of it all. Maybe they can enjoy the taste of normalcy, and reinforce their bonds with each other. Maybe they can become the family they were at one point again.
With a little effort, and some time...
(This is a sequel to my other fic 'Starchild'! If you haven't read that one yet, this will probably be very confusing. Just sayin'!)

Summary
It's been almost a year since The Prototype died and CatNap was freed from the bunker. Life should be happy now, safe, and peaceful. But now, in the wake of a dead god dreaming, one last gift left sleeping and swirling inside of CatNap has been activated, and it wants nothing more than to enact its lord's will, even despite his death. CatNap may have escaped hell, yes, but something else left right along with him: A monster. A demon. A murderer. The Starchild he thought he refused to be, made manifest and hanging over his shoulder, tormenting him until he loses himself to madness. He just wishes he could tell everyone else, but that's exactly what it wants... To be spoken into existence, and given separation from the one person holding it back.
(Currently on hold while I write Starchild: Epilogue!)
