Summary
While the characters believe the multiverse has existed for thousands of years already, it truly starts with the first sentence of its story. Only Ink feels when it happens.
(...And then panics because he's now aware he's never actually protected a universe or had a conversation with a friend and probably doesn't know how to do any of that and they're all counting on him.)

Summary
He trusted Ink. He trusts Ink. They had to have a reason. They wouldn't hurt him, he really let himself believe--
Ink saved him. They told him he was good, he was worth it, until he could even believe it himself on good days. They had good days together.Why? Why help him, hold him, promise him, he was good, he would be okay-- just to kill him now?
He still trusts Ink more than he trusts himself. He must have deserved this.

Error has a nightmare. Ink is there to hold him when he wakes up. How could he even dream of that, when the real Ink is so kind?
[Set in this series' multiverse, but can be read as a standalone. The most important context is that Error used to be the Destroyer, except that didn't actually happen in real life, but everyone remembers as if it did. Now he's sane and can feel guilt-- which means he feels a *lot* of guilt, since he remembers murdering thousands of people who never actually existed. Ink knows it wasn't real and they're close friends. And Error is a sad damp cat.]

Summary
[formerly aoam: extras
but i only ever posted this oneshot and have since realized a "non-canon extras collection fic" is not a very good way to organize this. so from now on, other oneshots will be posted as oneshots. the content of this fic has not changed.][characterization is from my other fic, awakening of a multiverse. not canon, mostly just because it doesnt fit into the story anywhere.]
Error finds Ink, trapped in the Anti-Void, and rescues them.

Summary
The only thing Error can feel is pain the second Nightmare catches him. Even before the cold, slimy tentacle constricts around him, the contact and the terror are enough to make him fight for each breath.
The damp corruption seeps through his clothes quickly, feeling unbearably oily and sticky. The negativity is crushing, making it near impossible to feel even a little scrap of hope.
He tries to scream. It's just a painfully high pitched beeping sound, until Nightmare squeezes harder and it cuts off into static and he's forced into near-silence.
Nightmare lifts Error off the ground, bringing him close to his face. Error's eyelights are gone, replaced by warnings begging him to stop.
Nightmare hasn't even really done anything, yet.
[Part of a series, but can be read as an unrelated oneshot. Not canon to the series.]
