Summary
For the first time, Sol directed his eyes to the upper plane and gazed upon what had remained of Betelgeuse. Brilliant blue white like the ice caps adorning Mars’ northern pole filled Sol’s vision. Over time the dust and gas would continue to expand, shaped by stellar winds and magnetic fields, shifting into various hues dependent on elements contained within the star’s outer layers. Much like the star itself, the nebula wasn’t permanent. Eventually it would fade away into nothingness over the course of hundreds of millions of years.
Stars were the only celestial beings who were born to die. Born to give, never take for they always took too much even when they didn’t mean to, and then…die.
Following the passing of another star, the Sun is faced with the reality that he too will suffer the same fate. Dying isn't necessarily the problem, it's what it will do to the planets and system he's dedicated his life to. How could he ever reconcile this?

Summary
Simp grinned, an unsettling, almost terrifying grin, "Yes. Seeing as you're currently the only known planet with life in this stretch of the galaxy, we require your assistance in our goals. See, our goals are certainly reachable, but we need to prove to the stars that we can truly exist without them. In order to do that… we need rogue planets with life."
--
The planet revolution was successful, but that didn't stop the rogue planets from entering the solar system for their own endeavors. The catalyst of their planet uprising against the stars? None other than Earth himself.
!! Takes place right after Planet Revolution Part 2 !!

Summary
In the original timeline, Planet X won the battle of Planet X from winning both the trivia round and the game of asteroid dodgeball. However, his victory was spoiled when Proteus went up to him and ended their friendship. This would in turn cause Planet X to leave, reconcile with Jupiter, and head forth into the cosmos with Guillermo, and maybe having a role in the upcoming arcs. However, this would also result in Uranus trying to follow him, Jupiter returning to the Sun’s anger and eventually following Uranus, Earth following Jupiter for answers concerning “Theia”, and eventually leading all the Planets to the Kuiper Belt and beyond, causing the Sun to go mad, make the moons planets, and probably more chaos we haven't yet seen. But what if, he didn’t leave? What if, instead of leaving when Proteus ended his friendship, he, for one reason or another, chose to stay. Would Jupiter ever return? Would the Solar System grow more stable? Would all life on Earth die as the asteroid belt grows more and more unstable? I suppose, the best place to start is when it all began…

What if Earth never told Titan "Moons should know their place" by Honustustere

Summary
Everyone loves to say that all the crazy stuff started when Neptune asked “Why does Saturn have rings?” Although it’s fair to believe that, I don’t think we can really blame Neptune. He wasn’t trying to cause anything, was just curious. There was nothing malicious, but there was someone who did… Earth. When he met Titan, he got self-conscious, and said “Moons should know their place”, which would lead to Titan and co starting the moon revolution, moon club, system trials, Planet X, Theia, ect. But what if… he never said that? Would the tensions already around the moons still cause a revolution? Would Planet X ever return to the solar system? Would Earth face the memories of Proto and Theia? If so, how would they change? Here is my take.

Summary
Technically, the Sun could talk to the other stars. He just doesn't want to, because they're awful.
(Or, Sol goes to Star Court and spends the entire time vividly imagining the death of everyone involved.)
