{This is a planethumans/solarballs au type thing, HEAVY emphasis on the AU part since the celestial bodies' personality, internal conflicts, and other things may differ from canon, as it usually does in these kinds of things.
It's a SCP x various analog horror scenarios x solar/planetballs au.
In which I fuck up the plotline, characterization, and stories so bad I might as well turn this into its own storyline with my own OCs.
Also added some drawings, because yes. I also have a Tumblr (astarfromsomewhere) where I post shitty somewhat non story related art of this au, so feel free to look at that if you want.

The Earth, has perished.
Having just killed the Iris after she had mutated the entire system, right under Sol's watchful eye.
And so a cycle starts anew, a reset. A regression.
Wiping the threat that caused their death out of reality, a complete deletion.
So how is it that the Iris has returned?
And why hasn't she attacked yet?
It's the year 2309 and the question of whether we are alone in the universe is finally answered; an answer which ends in a full-scale war.
Desperate to become a hero, Jason Scharn enrolls in the United Solar Military to push back these alien invaders. But as the war progresses and his career soars, two things become apparent. Is the sacrifice to those close to him necessary and is the enemy this evil entity that propaganda suggests?
As more colleagues and friends die around him and key figures start to disappear, questions start to emerge that only he can answer. Why did they attack us? Did they start this war? Who is my true enemy?
