Notes:

This is my first fanfic, and it's currently being worked on! I really hope you enjoy it.
-I really wanted a fanfic where Elliot isn't an "uwu shy kitten" who only likes Chance and Chance isn't "Dw bbg daddy's here", so I decided to make it myself!
-Sorry to say that most characters in the tags were briefly mentioned and likely won't show up again.
-I think the next chapters might have a higher word count.
-There won't be any smut in this fic since I personally read to feel joy or grief, not really to goon.
-There's no interactions in this chapter, this is really just an introduction.
Again, I really hope you enjoy it! ^U^

Chapter 1: Life after escape - an introduction

Chapter Text

 

When they first stepped out of the realm, they couldn't believe it. They had escaped. About 2 years had passed in the real world, though it had felt much longer than that. Time had slowed down in the hell that they called “Forsaken.”

Everyone got all their properties and money back. Some escaped to find their houses had been demolished *(by none other than the legend Taph)*, and got the properties’ estimated worth in Robux.

Some, like Guest, returned to near normal immediately. He regrets not being able to be there for his daughter when she needed him.

Some had to take a break before going back to normal, like Builderman. He took a vacation to a beach with some other admins, in case he had a panic attack.

Some have already nearly recovered, like Shed, who is living the life with Brighteyes.

Some are not so fortunate…

Such as C00lkid and his father. Both required therapy. C00lkid lives with Bluudud and his mother for the most part, and 007n7 finds himself in and out of hospitals.

Taph usually stays locked in his house, though when he absolutely has to go outside, one of the admins escorts him due to paranoia.

John Doe found himself a “housewife” for Jane. He often refused to go outside because people would look at him with fear; he was covered in scars and was well over 7 feet.

Others have moved on with their lives. They used it as a fresh start, or a start over.

1x ended up going to college. Last heard, he was a computer science major. The admins said that once he’s out, he could be (ironically) offered a job working under Shedletsky. He feels a lot less hatred, though he’s still rather rude and grumpy; he’s able to express and feel more generally positive emotions thanks to the admins’ help.

Two-time, after learning the spawn wasn’t real, their 2nd life was fake, and they had killed their own partner for nothing, was simply horrified. You wouldn’t blame them. Imagine learning your whole life was a lie! The poor thing resides in a flood of guilt and despair for a good long while... Though now in college for psychology, they are following their newfound passion while working a minimum wage job at Burger King.

Elliot has inherited Builder-brother’s pizza. He’s opened up multiple locations and has hired plenty of staff. Business has been booming ever since. He still sometimes goes to the original location to work as a Cashier, since that location always seems to be in a deficit of employees, though now there is more than just 1 person working the whole restaurant.

And Chance? He briefly tried to quit his gambling addiction. He’s not trying very hard, though; him being filthy rich isn’t helping either. His casino is as busy as ever, and he still occasionally gets harassed by Mafioso for his money back. Nothing much has changed in his life. Except for the PTSD, the panic attacks, and the nightmares reliving the horrors that he experienced, but he’s not special in that category.

After being away for so long, he found himself longing for Elliot’s presence once more. He found that he had feelings for him, and he cringes at the memory of his sheer obliviousness to Elliot’s old attempts at flirting.

He couldn't take it anymore, simply texting Elliot occasionally wasn't enough- He just HAD to visit his old "friend."
