Null Error AU

Summary:

“Warning: BossValue!Null Error”

“Huh. That’s new.”
----
So sometimes you sit down with your pals and think "Hey, what would it even LOOK like if Gordon was the boss at the end of Half Life VR But the AI is Self Aware, by Wayneradiotv and Pals?" and then you kick it around into a really cool design and then Whoops A Whole AU because.

Hey. Wouldn't it be kind of fucked up if Gordon was the final boss? And it's really glitchy, because he's not supposed to be the boss? But man. What if that happened because him and Benry and Tommy were *already friends*?

...And then it kind of becomes a set of drawings my pal in crime facefullabugs and then a whole damn lil comic that I wrote and they drew because we really like hurt comfort, and then I decided to write some short fics that go with/fill in the comic bits, and then hey I should prob. Put them. Somewhere people can find, huh.

So that's here.

Chin on hand. Hey. Y'all like some Terrible Shit Happening but Ultimately People Are Mostly OK And also a Rad Comic you mighta seen on Tumblr or Twitter?

Notes:

Slaps my hands down on the table. Okay. Let's break this down real quick, because multimedia stories are hella rad but also require kind of an index table. So that's what this first chapter is ✌️✨. But a lil pre-amble first!

This story started as a series of drawings by my pal Bugs!! Whos work can be found on twitter @bugdraws, or at goosterbold.tumblr.com

which is where just a lot of links are going to go for this bad boy. My ideas, Bugs' radass drawings, me doin dialogue, bugs makin' a comic that knocks me off my feet. basically this whole story is just us slinging the Good Hurty Ideas at each other bc that's what pals do. It's the dueling pianos in Rodger Rabbit, but with hurt/comfort.

...and also the Let Gman Be A Good Dad Agenda.
