Are you doing okay? Not trying to pester you, just checking in. <3
Thank you, it's very kind to check in..
Admittedly, when it comes to writing I'm not doing so hot. It's been really hard for me for me to focus, and when I do want to write I get very in my head about it, feeling it's not good enough and that sort of thing.
Im working on it, though! I will update dt when I can finally get my shit together, thank you all for being patient <3

Heya! I recently found your fic and I just wanna say… WOAH. There is obviously so much love and dedication going into this story! The covers for each chapter too????? LEMMIE TELL YOU. I. LOVE. THEM. AAAHSJAKKSKSLLA
AAAND I LOVE THE WAY YOU WRITE THE SHIPS!! The established relationships like Error and Ink feel so natural!!! And the new ones don’t feel rushed either, wich is unfortunately common.
overall a 10/10 story, and deserves WAAAAAY more attention and I will be recommending this for anyone looking for a good juicy undertale fanfic!
Aaaaaa thank you so much!! I'm sure many of you know that I've... really been struggling with my writing recently. I'll talk about it when the next chapter comes out (WHICH IS SOON I PROMISE) but it comes done to me being very hard on myself.
And to be honest I've just had... kinda a shit day today, so seeing this.. really made the day better again, so thank you. I truly appreciate how much you all enjoy my work,, <3<3

New chapter will be out soon... I'm almost done, promise y'all. In the mean time... here's a small part of the upcoming chapter. A sneak peak with you will. Unedited it, so beware.
Tumblr media
Read bellow vvv <3
Inky black hands were clawing their way up his legs.
They ripped his clothing, dug their nails into his bones, leaving beads of blood in their wake. He flailed, trying to shake them off to no avail, the inky black hands only gripped tighter.
They were nearing his chest.
They were going for his soul.
Suddenly, the hands melted into him, seeping into his very bones. He could feel them around his soul, gripping and tearing and shredding him apart. His insides were on fire, the marrow and magic inside him turning to lava as he was destroyed both inside and out.
He choked out a name, the name of the one he trusted. The one he loved, had always loved. His words came out gargled as his own searing blood filled his throat.
“I…Ink…”
The man’s small form materialised out of the darkness, stepping towards him, Ink’s expression was uncharacteristically blank. Cold. Empty like the space around them.
He opened his mouth, but all he could manage was a pathetic gurgling noise.
Ink’s face hardened, his mouth pulling into a disgusted scowl, and Ink took a step back. His body was sinking now, and he couldn't tell if it was because his bones had succumbed to the molten liquid coursing through him, or if the surrounding darkness was simply swallowing him whole.
“I never should have trusted you.” Ink’s words cut into him, sharp as a knife. He felt his soul finally snap, the pain piercing him, but his scream was drowned out but the blood that was choking him. “You could never have kept me safe. You're pathetic.”
His vision darkened as Ink turned on his heel, walking away from him as he collapsed. Everything was hazy and darkening, his body disintegrating into dust, he could feel himself crumble. With the last of his strength, he raised his hand, reaching for Ink just as he was engulfed in the blackness and…
Everything…
Went…
Dark.
Error gasped, his “lungs” desperately dragging in oxygen as he blinked away the fog of sleep. He stared up at the popcorn ceiling, feeling dizzy with disorientation as he watched the shadows twist and coil in the darkness, reaching out to him like hands.
Hands…
Error squeezed his eyes shut, counting to ten inside his skull, focusing on Ink’s warm form pressed against his side, slowly rising and falling with his breaths. Just a nightmare.
When Error opened his sockets again, the hands reaching for him from the dark had vanished, leaving just a normal looking ceiling and normal shadows. Of course, that's all it was - really, Error, you're too old to be getting scared of boogeymen hiding in the dark of night.
He turned his skull, resting his cheek against the soft pillow beneath him, and his gaze dropped to Ink. He was curled against Error, one hand underneath his own cheek and the other on Error’s chest. The small monster’s bones seemed to glow in the hazy moonlight that filtered in through the crack in the blinds, making Ink look angeletic. His features were soft, so relaxed, his mouth slightly parted as he took in slow, measured breaths.
Error smiled tenderly, before slowly manoeuvring himself out of Ink’s hold, sitting up in the dark. The handmade sheets and quilts pooled around his waist, the night air cool on his bare arms. It was a nice chill, working as a shock to his system that grounded him. But it wasn't enough, the tendrils of his nightmare were still hanging on to him, leaving him with a knot in his stomach.
The room was bathed in a soft white light from the moon outside of the window, giving everything a hazy, dreamlike glow. The house was completely silent, aside from the occasional sound of the cottage creaking as old houses do, and the ever present tick…tock…tick…tock… of the old clock in the guest room. The wind rattled softly against the houses outside walls, bringing bits of other monsters’ conversations along with it. Guess not everyone was asleep at this late hour.
Ink murmured Error’s name, his eye sockets slowly opening, though the action seemed to be a struggle for the skeleton, his lids weighed down by sleep.
“Go back to sleep, sweetie.” Error whispered, stroking Ink’s cheek. His husband’s eyes fluttered close at the gentle touch, and he leaned into Error’s hand.
“What are you doing…?” Ink’s breath tickled his palm, words slurring together.
“Getting some water.” It was only a white lie, yet Error still felt guilty saying it. It was for the best, though. Ink shouldn’t have to worry about anything right now, he should be relaxing, taking it easy. Taken care of. “I'll be right back, promise.”
The reason seemed to be enough to satisfy the smaller monster. He mumbled something under his breath as he drifted off, his breath once again evening out. Error’s smile twitched with affection and amusement. He leaned down and kissed his partner’s temple before standing up, pausing briefly to stretch out his spine.
In the dark, his eyelight found the crib on the other side of the room, and, careful not to make too much noise and wake Ink again, he moved to its side. Within the crib, the twins laid side by side, pressed against one another and their little skulls practically touching. Did they snuggle close like that purposely, feeling a connection to their twin? The idea of asking Dream and Nightmare if they felt more connected because of their twin status briefly passed his thoughts, but he disregarded the idea. He didn't know either man well enough to ask that without it coming off as awkward.
He watched the two small babies for a moment, love making his cold bones warm. He still couldn't believe they were really here, he was really a father.
He had a responsibility to protect these two little souls, and he fully intended to take that responsibility very seriously.
Error frowned to himself, pulling PJ and Gradient’s blanket higher so that it was property covering them - he didn't want them to get cold and uncomfortable. Eventually, Error was able to pull himself away from his sons and out of the room, leaving the door ajar behind him.
The Dreemurr’s home was eerily quiet at night, in a way that deeply unsettled Error. It was the type of house that just felt like it was supposed to be bustling with life, the very walls and foundation alive with all the activity, the halls always filled with the sounds of joy. But in the dead of night, as it was now, the house no longer held warmth, it was no longer alive with all that positive energy.
It was cold, empty, and unwelcoming.
Error felt a rush of relief when he stepped outside, escaping the oppressive wrong feeling inside, and immediately being hit in the face with the cold night air.
“Didn’t think you’d still be awake.”
-To be Continued-

Hello friends!
I want to start this by apologizing for being so absent since Halloween!! I didn't mean to go silent, but, well, I'm still very busy! All of the time!
Secondly, I want to say that chapter 42 is coming!! Originally I wanted it to be out early December, but then I remembered I have final projects and finals coming up and... the stress of needing to get it done by then was really impacting my ability to write so... the new target release date is the second week of December! (This is mainly bc I need to make the cover for the next chapter but... I know you guys like those and I like drawing them so... I hope you all understand <3)
I also really want to post something for Christmas this year! Either a short like I did for Halloween or some sketches of the DT characters,, lemme know which you'd prefer so I can start planning that early!
Again, thank you all for being so understanding. Your support means so much to me, and I'm glad you're all sticking around to read my silly story about my silly guys

Small announcement: I'm aiming to have chapter 41 out by the beginning of October! I realize that's a while away but uh,,, I'm busy I'm sorry </3
In all honesty, I do my best to make chapters a decent length to make up for the waits, as well as the covers (which are also just really fun for me,,) so uh,,, I do hope those things make the wait worth it ^^
