Wonderful. I expect maybe 3-5 more chapters.

*In the FreeVerse*

Error is sitting on a couch in a decent house in a place the FV Ink and Error described as the Multiversal hub. The safest place in the multiverse with every AU able to converge on it. Fell also agreed quickly, for Nova's safety. Error deeply appreciated how thoughtful Fell was, thinking about Nova's safety. Nova is currently talking to some random Sansi. Error is relaxing, closing his eyes.

Outer looks at Error, gently caressing the black skeleton's cheekbones. FV Error's words come to mind.

"This skeleton has suffered tremendously at the hands of some very bad skeletons. No matter who he eventually feels love for, remember you should care for him. It's not an order, you can choose to ignore him or even avoid him...but please...don't cause him more harm than he has likely already gone through." Outer huffs softly. He gently ties the gag into the black skeleton's mouth, waking the previously sleeping monster. Muffled sounds of distress leave the black skeleton's mouth as Outer chuckles darkly.

"Now, let's have some fun~"

Fell watches Nova play, keeping his eye sockets on the young and quick skeleton. Nova freezes in his tracks, skidding across the ground slightly. The skeleton chasing Nova stops next to him, confusion spreading as the young skeleton's eyelights are now glowing brighter and have taken the shape of large circles with holes in the middle. Before any of the guardians can react, Nova is at the door of the house, running in. Fell rushes into the house on Nova's heels, gasping when he sees Outer pinning Error to the couch, the black skeleton half undressed and clearly struggling to get Outer off him. Fell doesn't even think it before Outer is turned red and pinned to the wall. Error gets off the couch and moves away from Outer, Nova clinging to the black boned monster.

Outer is taken away by both FV Error and Ink, who agree to punish Outer severely. Nova is sitting on the bed in the room Error is dressing in. Fell knocks on the door gently, waiting.

"Y-you can come in." Fell slowly enters, still covering his eyes.

"Are you decent? Don't want to cause you more issues than what that traitor did."

"Dad's decent." Fell removes his hand, looking at Error. The black boned skeleton is now wearing a tank top that reveals his arms and shoulder blades, both of which are chipped, cracked, and covered in old and new scars. Fell sighs.

"'m...real sorry about Outer." Error shrugs.

"Was actually kinda expecting one of you to do something to me. Just...wasn't expecting that. I was expecting knives, attacks, dust...something in tune with L.O.V.E....but..." Error hugs his arms, Nova responding to his father's distress by hugging the black skeleton's leg.

"Thank you, Nova." Fell hums softly.

"Nova, how about a promise?" Nova looks at Fell.

"A promise? Error said Sansi don't really like to make promises." Fell nods.

"We don't. But...I'll make you a promise. I promise to keep your daddy safe...until I die, okay?" Nova nods, his eyelights shifting into stars.

"And I'll keep my daddy safe until I'm dead too then!" Fell looks at Error, the latter's face near unreadable.

Error studies how Fell and Nova interact, thinking softly.

Until you die, huh...that sounds like one of those...what did Blue call them?...marriage proposal...

Error looks down at his hands, his blue strings wrapped tightly around each finger.

I hope your death is later rather than sooner...if only for Nova's happiness.

*Timeskippu to ???*

Error runs around, chaos unfolding around him. Sansi are clashing, bone attacks and gaster blasters are firing and being released everywhere. Error looks around frantically, searching for the little skeleton he named Nova.

"Nova!" Error keeps running, trying to find the skeleton before something bad happens.

Fell is rushing after the blue strings, trying to find Error. Error is in more danger than he knows. Fell knows if the other Ink gets Error alone, it'll be over for the poor skeleton.

The DeterminedVerse Evil Sansi and Blue have run into their FreeVerse counterparts, and are fighting Ink's army.

FreeVerse Ink and Error are fighting side-by-side, proving how powerful the two are together.

Where is DeterminedVerse Ink and little Nova, you might be wondering, dear Reader? I can tell you where they are.

DeterminedVerse Ink sits atop a throne of bone attacks, waiting for his dear Destruction God to come. Little Nova is sitting in a hanging cage above Ink's throne, holding the bars, and hoping his father comes to save him, while also hoping his dad doesn't come.

Error slows down, panting softly. Fell catches up to him.

"Error, I think Nova isn't here. Whoever took him...is long gone. Let's regroup and figure out who took Nova and where they took him." Error refuses to look at Fell, and Fell sighs.

"Look...I-" The force of Error hugging Fell cuts the latter's sentence off.

"P-please...d-don't leave me t-too..." Fell looks out at the aftermath of the fight, which is dying down, and gently pats the softly trembling and...small...skeleton.

*Timeskippu*

The newcomers from the DeterminedVerse and the friendly people of the FreeVerse are sitting in the house in the Anti-Void.

Ink sits on his throne, lightly tapping his fingers rhythmically. Nova curls up on the floor of his hanging cage. He closes his eyes, letting tears slowly leak out.
