    Summary

    Killer is so focused on the sight of his SOUL held — its glow, even as dull as it looks now that he's looking closely, lights up the corruption perpetually slithering along Nightmare's bones and makes it look almost green, instead of dull black — he almost misses the twitch of browbones on Nightmare's face. Almost, because it's hard to miss such an obvious frown. Unbidden, his SOUL quivers, and Nightmare lets out a harsh breath.

    "Oh, love," he says, in turn knocking the breath out of Killer.

    Summary

    With no memories and nowhere to go, you’ve been shuffled from universe to universe as the secret healer of the guardian of positivity for a decade. But years without a place to truly call home would leave anyone a little stir-crazy. So when you find a knife-wielding skeleton in the woods on your morning jog, you go against your better judgement and heal him. At least he’s nice enough to pay you back with outings that are starting to feel a whole lot like dates.

    Too bad that skeleton is actually one of the enemies you’re supposed to be fighting against, and your existence is about to become not-so-secret to his boss.

    Summary

    Dust would always roll his eyes before having to do the arduous task of fixing whatever thing Killer messed up that time, something that also made Killer laugh. Not only did he cause an inconvenience by messing with whatever Dust planned to do, he also had to change his schedule to make up for Killer’s pranks.

    The joy didn’t last long, though, as Dust also eventually grew used to him. The pranks were returned, sometimes doubled, and resulted in an all out prank war between the two before Nightmare once again had to separate them before the castle was leveled.

    From that point on, they were forbidden from any more pranks, and Killer had to settle with annoying Dust by merely being in the other’s presence and purposefully acting like he was stupid.

    Now, however, Killer had a new victim.

    Summary

    It was by pure chance that Cross got lured towards Dream's and Nightmare's stall at the busy Saturday morning market during one of his patrols. Reeled in with the promise of apple slices, something different caught Cross' eyelight and caused him to return. He only hoped that whoever had caused his interest felt the same towards him...

    Summary

    In the end, the lost lackey wasn’t hard to find. He was sitting at the bottom of one of the shallower craters, head firmly pressed against his knees. His arms were wrapped tightly around his skull, pushing it down even further. He was wound up so tight that his knees must have been digging into his eye socket. Didn’t that hurt? That couldn’t be comfortable…

    With an ounce of concern for the murderer left stranded in his AU now mixed in with the apprehension for everyone else’s safety, Outer slowly approached him.

    “Heya pal” he greeted, still a good distance away. He was ready to dodge and fight if needed, but the main reason why he spoke up so early was to avoid spooking the guy. He already looked tense enough as was, and Outer was trying his best not to be a dick.

    Despite his best efforts, Goopy Sockets still sprung up, knife in hand, and teeth twisted into a snarl. Outer was almost surprised he wasn’t growling at him.

    He went to raise his hands placatingly, but the guy immediately lunged forward.

    ---

    Outer finds Killer after he's been abandoned in Outertale by Nightmare. Will he gain a new pal, or will he end up as a pile of dust?
