Summary
In the beginning, it was all dust and debris. First, there was innocence. Then, there was war. Later, there was the incident. And After, when all the guilt and chaos settled, he came back. Although, no one is the same after so many years alone.
When the Earth began mend his realtionships with the other planets after the Moon revolution, he began to feel watched. When he talked to the others, they felt similarly. There was a prescence out there that couldn't be explained. When Jupiter and Saturn began to talk more and the Sun became stricter on orbital alignment, the rocky planets knew something was up in the solar system.

Summary
The couple seconds of absolute terror Neptune had felt when his moons all gathered in front of him, and he'd counted only fifteen.
Oh cosmos, the planet was sure his heart had actually stopped at that moment.
He'd counted once more. Twice. A third time, more panicked each time. And yet, the number stayed fifteen. His moons had panicked too, shifting and moving so much it was nearly impossible to get them to stay still long enough for a roll call.
Triton, Nereid, Proteus-
Proteus.
He was missing Proteus.
He'd almost lost it.
It was a good thing X noticed him though- the relief, even if short-lived, had been enough to hold his anger against the larger planet back. At least for a little bit.
Oh, his brave little star.
Or
The aftermath of the battle against Planet X, from Neptune's perspective.

Summary
Jupiter was tempted to turn around. To run, to catch up to the ice giant, to beg him for forgiveness and to please come back. X didn't like him- hated him, which was his right. But even if Jupiter kept the asteroid belt in check- why did that have to mean Planet X couldn't be part of their Solar System? Why did that mean he had to be alone, so awfully isolated, away from his home? Jupiter knew X wanted to come back.
So why did he leave so easily on his own? What happened when Jupiter was banished? What did he-
"Are you gonna keep staring, or will you join us soon?"
Jupiter yelped at the sudden voice, actually flinching back into the darkness once more. His anticipation spiked, his heart racing as he glanced up toward the Kuiper Belt- and locked eyes with-
For a moment, Jupiter thought he was looking at Planet X.
His heart stopped, and his breath stuttered. But then he blinked and looked again.
Neptune smiled at him.
Or
Jupiter returns to the Solar System.
....A lot seems to have happened during his absence.

Summary
The sharp cries grew louder, cutting through the chaos of his thoughts, but Uranus remained rooted in place, staring at the impossibly small body in front of him. The tiny thing was curled up, trembling, sobbing its little heart out.
Oh, oh, was this what Uranus swatted away? Where was their planet- they didn't even look done developing, Uranus must have hurt them-
"...Where did you come from?" He found himself asking, instinctively reaching out with his large hands to lift them up- but froze when their crying lessened when he approached.
"Moon." The familiar calls in his mind started, causing his breath to hitch.
His heart picked up speed, beating faster and faster-
"Yours. Your moon. Baby. Satellite. Yours."
Or
When trying to come up with the perfect apology for his moons, Uranus gets a little surprise... and reacts the same way he reacted with his first.
Or
On November 4 2023 a new moon of Uranus was spotted. Its existence was confirmed on February 23 2024.
Meaning that during the moon revolution, Uranus' total moon count went up to 28.

Summary
Triton cringed thinking back to the moments after the battle- oh he had acted like a child. And he must have scared the rest of the moons too.
When had he ever acted like that with Neptune?
...
Well okay that was his own fault too but-
A hand touching his forehead made him snap out of it.
When Triton looked up, he met Neptune's tired but worried gaze- wasn't that a sight? Neptune? Showing worry? In front of his moons? He never showed any emotion other than happy or silly. But he looked so serious these days. So tired all the time. Always looking out for something.
They were all on edge. But it was still shocking how much one event could change a person.
Or
After the battle against Planet X, Triton can't help but think back about his planet.
Specifically... the fact that he's always been comfortable around him, despite trying to think otherwise.

Summary
I..." Neptune squeezed his hands his hands in support. Uranus shuddered.
Deep breath in, deep breath out...
"...I don't. I... I want you to use my name."
"But we are?" Mars asked in a confused matter, clearly missing something. "You said you don't want to be Caelus anymore, right, YourAnu-"
"That." The ice giant grumbled with a shaky breath, sitting straighter when the upset in his core bubbled, overtaking the joy he'd felt earlier. He squeezed Neptune back, his grip tight. "I want you guys to say my bloody name right."
He hissed out the final part, realizing a second too late just how rude he sounded- and froze. Looking away again, he quietly added. "...Please."
"But... what?" He heard the smallest planet, Mercury, ask, sounding lost, much to his shock and anger. "I thought- isn't your name-"
"No," Jupiter breathed out guiltily with a sigh, causing Uranus' core to skip a beat. "It isn't."
Or
Uranus has a lot to apologize for.
But so did everyone else.

Summary
Ceres was lonely.
From the moment he'd first opened his eyes, he always had been. The lonely dwarf planet of the Asteroid Belt who lost his mind over time, driven mostly by instinct, one with the surrounding darkness to survive.
That's who he was. That's who he always had been. That's who he would always be.
Entropy left no room for anything else. The toddler had accepted this long ago.
...So why did this time hurt?
The baby shivered, rubbing his injured hands up and down his arms to try and bring back some heat- but to no avail. He didn't get it. Asteroid Belt, Kuiper Belt, what did it matter? They were both dark belts! It should be the exact same! This place was basically his orbit, but further! He'd been here so many times! With Pluplu, and Cherry, and Ears and MakMak and Ham and Three.
So why was it so scary? Was it because he was alone? He was always alone!
That's who Ceres was.
That's who he always would be.
Or
The aftermath of Ceres running away from everyone else.

Summary
"Neptune!" Neptune more felt than saw Thalassa scream, as close to his face as she could possibly be- any and all sleepiness or disorientation vanishing the second he saw the state she was in.
She looked terrified.
And finally, the rest of the screams finally registered.
Asteroids were raining down on them.
"NEPTUNE!"
Asteroids were raining down on them.
His babies, his-
His ears rang.
Neptune moved on autopilot, stretching out his arms the second his mind finally registered danger- but he froze once again when he reached for his gravity to push said danger away.
"Did... my gravity...?"
His gravity.
His G R A V I T Y-
"PROTEUS!!"
CRASH!
Or
The collision with an unknown celestial body Neptune's second-largest moon apparently was in.
