- a fanmade Aikatsu Stars sequel with an original twist - Akiya had always been surrounded by musicians. Her family had multiple musicians, her brother was a famous idol, and even her best friend was currently studying in an idol school. It had always been Akiya's dream to be an idol, but she was too anxious to apply to a school and ended up going to a normal high school instead of an idol program. Now that her first year of highschool was over and the opportunity to transfer to Four Star Academy presented itself, she decided to finally stop worrying and just go for it! Under the starry night sky's guidance, Akiya's Aikatsu begins! --- some quick but very important notes, this fic will have queer themes, a bit of an alternative universe, and is planned to have quite a bit of diversity in general. If you don't like these things this fic is not for you. (The alternative universe in question takes affect in only 2 things. Four Star Academy in this is a highschool with a two year college program, so I basically just moved the years up so the characters will be a little older, since this fic won't always be as happy-go-lucky as a typical aikatsu series. There is also the fact that I made it so that all aikatsu series take place in the same world, just in different parts of Japan. This wasn't on purpose, I just hadn't watched Aikatsu on Parade before I planned the fic, and would like for my characters to be able to interact with a wider range of the aikatsu system and idols.) And! All art is done by me unkess stated otherwise. Songs used will all be credited! I don't have to say that I don't own the Aikatsu franchise right- cuz I don't and I think its quite obvious. OH AND THIS IS ALSO CROSS-POSTED TO MY AO3 ACCOUNT YEA :D

After the Smile! Pretty Cures defeated Pierrot, five diamonds in different colors were scattered across Azayaka Town, a town miles from Nanairogaoka. These diamonds were picked up by several different families, and have since evolved into human girls. Eleven years later, a socially awkward young girl named Kibouteru Chise is starting her first day at Azayaka Hoseki Private Academy, a school that, to her surprise, her friend Kasai Homura attends. After school, she sees a group of younger children hassling a young dragon, who she then saves. The dragon is named Warun, and it's come from a kingdom that lives for wishes and dreams. However, this kingdom has been taken over by a demon king named Akumai, who, along with his three subordinates and two kids (his second-in-commands), have raided it and turned into an unhappy hellscape! Warun needs Chise's help in saving the kingdom, but... how will she achieve this? Not to mention she's the reincarnation of Bad End Happy, a girl who wants to make everyone in the world miserable! With the power of a magical mirror that she found last night after making a wish - to save Gemmeland (and also to be a cosmetologist) - this being a Prism Mirror, as well as her determination to bring life back to the Kingdom, she transforms into the Pretty Cure of hope and stars, Cure Shimmer! After taking down a ghost-like monster (Yamishin), Chise is tasked with collecting several magic crystals called Arcus Charms, but she can't do it alone! No, she has to find the other Cures, who are suspected to be Bad End reincarnations as well! How will she go about this...? (Story from Quotev. Btw the pictures in the story are mine unless states otherwise)
