Lifeline by Thousand Foot Krutch and Passive Nightmare getting corrupted
Take it out on me by Thousand Foot Krutch and the bad sanses
I'm not scared of getting surgery, I mean it will be my 6th so it's becoming a habit (I had two for the current issue and three for another stuff), but the thing is I already tested two different methods that both failed, and I heard (from people with the same issue) that the surgery I want was the one that works best, but there are certain conditions that need to be met in order to get it, and based on my MRI I would say I meet them, but I am not a doctor so only the surgeon will confirm or deny it
In any case I will have a surgery done, either the one I want or one I already tested and I will hope the result will be different, but I very much hope I can get the one I want because it's the most promising and also the one that heals faster, which is good since I want to start looking for a job after surgery
First of all, Happy Belated Birthday! I forgot to say that on your birthday. Sorry
Second, time travelers question:
Have you established Ink's role in the story yet? We know Error is a deity and is the one having to deal with the consequences of the situation. Is ink the one causing it? Or does he have nothing to do with it? Also now that we have Dream and Blue together how likely is Star Sans Poly?
Haha it's okay, thank you <3
I have answered the question about Ink a while ago but I don't remember if it was here or on AO3 so I'm gonna answer again lol
No, Ink doesn't have a role and most likely never will. He might get mentioned by Error but I don't have a plan for him and I don't want to include a character just for the sake of including a character, if I don't have a purpose for him then he won't appear. Ink isn't the one causing the jumps, it is due to a simple anomaly in the timeline that makes their code switch place, he is perfectly innocent and is probably just watching them like a new show while Error is working on the issue alone lol
Star poly isn't planned either, sorry, Dream and Blue will get together but Ink won't be added. Maybe they will meet him in the future, but they won't form a poly. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Ink, he's just not a character I care much about so that's why I'm not including him in my stories much
So yeah, Ink most likely won't appear in Time Travelers other than being mentioned

Hii! I just found out your time travellers AU on A03 and I am OBSESSED with it- I have read everything about it and currently re-reading it rn! But I am curious about one thing, cuz I'm not sure if you mentioned it somewhere or not but- Which country does Dust come from?? Like, is he from korea like his creator or is it entirely up to the reader's to decide?? Cuz it has been bugging me for a bit honestly-
Anyway..have a great day :DD
(I absolutely love them all, especially Horror btw-)
Hi ! :D thank you !! I'm very glad my little AU is getting love <3
I don't think I mentioned it lol
At first I wanted to go with their creators' nationality but I didn't know enough about the countries' history to do so and so I decided to give them different nationalities that I knew better
So no Dust doesn't live in Korea, he was born and lives in an English speaking country, now which one doesn't really matter but I guess you could say he comes from the USA or Canada ? Maybe more USA but again it's not that important, the most important here is really the languages
So you have Dust somewhere in the USA, Cross and Nightmare in France though not at the same period, Killer in Italy, and Horror somewhere in Scandinavia
Additional info: if it has been taken into consideration, we can say that Cross lives in the South of France! Bc he takes all of them to see the troubadours and the troubadours were in the south of france. Trouveres were in the north of France. Idk if it has been taken in consideration when making this scene as troubadour is the most known name for both troubadours and trouveres but if it doesn't rlly mean anything and has no impact on the story THEN!!! I'll keep it as a headcanon ig!
I never really specified where Cross was in France ( or any of the others ) as I am taking quite a lot of liberties regarding the activities and some other stuff, but he can very much be from the south yeah, it doesn't matter much in the story after all as what is most important is the country and time period
This story isn't a historical paper haha, liberties have been taken for some parts
Ok so I read the entirety of the Time Travel au today (plus part 22.5 and fireworks) and I can only say one thing: I LOVE IT SM PLSSSSS CONTINUE I NEED MORE OF THIS AU 🙏
I LOVE the way the characters are characterised
ALSO!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Ahhh thank you !!! <3
Time Travelers truly is my biggest story with the most work put in it and I am always so happy that people like it so much <3
DW I still got many things planned for these gays :D
I have won the fight between me and writer's block
Also it is my birthday today yey

A few days had passed since Nightmare had his crisis and, thankfully, things were calmer now. The little group could relax and stop worrying about what trauma they would discover next. They mostly spent their days just hanging out, Killer had asked many times to go see their horses again, Dust kept studying their languages in the library with Cross helping him with the books, and Horror would sometimes hang in the kitchen to watch how the servants cooked or stay near the noble to make sure he really was relaxing and not stressing over small things again such as whether or not they were bored or if they were still comfortable in his house. Nightmare would have lied if he said he didn't like having the viking watch over him, and he sometimes had to restrain his tentacles from wagging or curling around the taller one, which would have been awfully awkward and improper, and Dream was already throwing him enough knowing looks like that, he didn't need more things to tease his twin about. Overall, days were calm and Nightmare was content.
- Do you have more books in old french ? Dust asked.
Nightmare was in an office, throwing the marriage proposals into the fireplace : he had completely made up his mind thanks to his friends and his brother, and decided that he would marry someone only if he wanted to, which meant he didn't need to keep the letters anymore. Dust had walked in after knocking to ask about the books. They had a shelf in the library for books in their original language, most of them were in latin, but they had a few in old french, and a very few in english, the one from their time at least.
- Je pense que oui, Nightmare nodded as he put the rest of the letters aside on a desk for later.
He lead Dust outside of the office and the two headed for the library. Killer wanted to go see the horses today, and Horror had decided to accompany him, and since the presence of someone who knew how to ride was preferable, Cross had come with them too, letting Dust study alone and Nightmare throw his letters away in peace. They walked through the hallways, Dust was a little behind, glancing at the tentacles hovering above the floor, not touching it, curling around each other when too heavy to hold themselves up... Nightmare could have been bothered by the staring, but he wasn't, there wasn't any judgement in the way Dust looked at him, no disgust, simply curiosity regarding the strange magic, and relief that the noble was finally letting it out.
They came across Dream, and the two brothers looked at each other for an instant, then Nightmare gave him the middle finger. Dream responded by giving him the middle finger too. Dust had taught them to do this when they were burning their mother's belongings, it was a very rude and highly disrespectful gesture to do, unless it was between siblings, in which case it was simply a silly salutation. Dust had to hold back a snort as the twins smiled, happy, and Nightmare and him continued their way to the library.
The door had been left opened, and the noble directly went to the bookshelf in question to scan the books over.
- Ce devrait être ici... it should be there, he thought out loud.
He glanced at the spines, there were a lot of latin books, but he eventually found the books he was searching for ! On the highest shelf, which meant he needed a ladder. He could technically grab them with his tentacles, but he wasn't used to manipulating things with them and didn't want to risk dropping the books, or worse, making the shelf fall over, so he just looked around and went to grab the wooden ladder when he spotted it against another shelf.
- Do you need help ? Dust offered, nervous about letting him climb this old looking ladder, but Nightmare declined.
He secured it against the shelf, and climbed, he had been climbing it since he was a kid to get to the higher books, he was perfectly capable of maintaining balance on it, even if his tentacles did pull him down a little, he just had to press them against himself.
He went to grab the first few books, but retracted his hand with a flinch when he felt a sting on his fingers. He glanced at his hand, confused, and slowly approached the books again, only to feel the sting in all of his arm, and soon all around him. His magic crackled in response, his tentacles twitched, and the air started to sting in a way they were starting to get accustomed to. He looked down at Dust who was already looking around too, feeling the change as well, until their gaze locked into each other, and Dust looked down at the ladder with wide eyelights. Nightmare frowned, looked down too, and tensed when he realized where he was standing. He had to get down. He had to get down before the jump.
Nightmare started climbing down as fast as he could, Dust standing behind the ladder to hold it, but in his hurry, he missed a step, and the time changed.
The world shifted, everything moved and turned until it was stable again and a new decor appeared. Was it a forest again ? Horror shook his head and blinked a few times, his eyelight slowly adjusting to the new light, the air was cold, and there was a smell... It didn't smell like Cross's forest, didn't sound nor look like Dust's yard, and obviously they had left Nightmare's time, which was a relief. He didn't dislike Nightmare's time, he had to admit there were a lot of pretty things there and the noble looked good in his own element, but compared to the periods they had visited for now ? This one might have been the most stressful, especially for the noble, and seeing him in so much distress when he was supposed to be at home, the safest place he could have been at, really didn't sit well with the viking.
The smell was familiar, but Horror didn't have time to focus more on it because Killer had just entered existence next to him and fell face flat on the ground, his bag landing next to him – since they never knew when the next jump would happen, it was better to always have it with him -, and was rapidly followed by Cross who stumbled on his feet but managed to keep his balance. The viking picked the roman up to put him on his feet again, and Killer immediatly looked around for Alfred, the horse he had been sitting on. He whined when he realized he was gone, and Cross gave him a comforting pat on the shoulder.
Dust appeared next, holding... a tree. As soon as he noticed that he wasn't holding whatever he was supposed to hold anymore, he turned around, looking panicked.
- Dust ? Horror called and asked what was wrong, hverr rangr ?
Dust didn't answer, looking around as if searching for something, or someone.
- Nightmare !? He called the missing skeleton.
Horror tensed, did something happen with him before the jump ? The two had stayed inside of the house, had there been a problem ? Did he have a crisis again ?
- Quid accidit ? Killer asked.
Before Dust could respond they heard something fall and crack from behind some bush, followed by a groan and a « oh puterelle », which Horror was pretty sure was a swear based on the tone.
- Nightmare ?! Cross was the closest, so he rushed around the bush, rapidly followed by the others.
Nightmare was on the ground, his tentacles twitched, and he was holding his left ankle, a very bad sign that Horror particularly disliked. He lifted his head when he heard his friends. Cross was the first next to him helping him sit as the noble retracted his tentacles once again, opting to hide them in this unknown environment.
- You're okay ? Are you hurt ? Dust inquired.
Nightmare waved him off.
- Je vais bien... he said he was fine, but the way he winced when he stood up with Cross's help told them otherwise.
- Et mendacium nullum ? Killer arched a brow, to which Nightmare scowled at him.
Most of the time, Horror had no idea what they were saying, but this sounded like a reprimand regarding the obvious lie from the noble.
- Ambula, the roman ordered, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Nightmare seemed to hesitate for a moment, then took a step forward, and almost fell against Cross when he put his left foot on the ground.
- Videsne ? Patiris, Killer pointed out, and the noble didn't deny the supposed accusation.
- Sit down, let me take a look, Dust ushered him to sit on a tall tree root.
Horror squinted at it, that type of tree seemed familiar too, that plus the distinct smell in the air, he started to have a feeling that he knew this place, and a feeling that they shouldn't be here...
- Nei fara, he told them not to move, and turned around to go inspect.
Cross and Dust stayed with Nightmare, but of course Killer still followed him between the trees. There weren't much, just enough to block some light with the branches, and there was a lot of moss on the ground. They rapidly arrived at the edge of the small forest. Horror stopped, and put his arm in front of Killer to stop him from going further into the open. Before them stretched a large green landscape, with moss and small lakes, very few vegetation, and that same smell.
- Fen... a bog, he mumbled.
Killer hummed, looking up at him with an interrogative look.
- Vér nauð-syn gōnga, they needed to leave.
He turned around and nudged Killer to come along, not wanting to lose more time here. Bogs were places of misfortune, and this one, he had recognized it, was the one where they made sacrifices to the gods, and Nightmare was already hurt. The good news, though, was that his village shouldn't be too far, if his memory was right. He didn't have the best memory due to his head injury, and would sometimes forget the way back home when gone too far from the village, which was why he usually never came to the bog alone. Hunting was fine, he knew the forest well enough not to get lost, but places he went to less often could be tricky if he wasn't careful, if he got distracted along the way. He didn't even have his axe with him, and Cross didn't have his sword, but he was pretty sure Killer had knives, though. In any case, it was best to leave fast.
The two skeletons joined the others once again, Dust was done examining Nightmare and the three had thankfully stayed where they were. Cross turned to them first when he heard their steps, and frowned at Horror's worried look.
- Un problesme ? He asked the viking.
- Leave, Horror simply answered, having searched hus memory for the word on their way back, and pointed at the other end of the forest, the one that wouldn't lead to the bog.
- Leave what ? Us leave ? Or leave the forest ? Dust sounded confused.
Horror groaned, he didn't have the words to explain to them, and didn't have time to let Dust search for them in his book, so he just gestured at everyone then pointed at the end of the forest again. It clocked fast, thankfully, and the fact they were all taking his nevousness very seriously also helped as they didn't question him.
Cross helped Nightmare to stand back up, the noble hopped on one leg to find balance and didn't let go of the knight's arm as he slowly started to walk, careful not to put too much weight on his foot. This wouldn't do, Nightmare couldn't walk like that, and Cross, despite being strong, couldn't hold him all the way to the village. Horror thought for a second then signed for them to come closer, and once they were there he passed an arm behind Nightmare's back and another behind his knees to lift him against his chest. A small yelp escaped the noble, and he looked at him with a wide eyelight and a slight blush on his cheeks. Maybe Horror should have asked beforehand, but they needed to leave fast so there weren't a lot of options, he just hoped Nightmare wouldn't be offended to be carried. He had already carried him when he fell asleep on the couch, but it was different : he was asleep, here he was perfectly awake and at risk of being seen. Horror would apologize later, for now he just took the lead through the forest, followed by the others.
- Quo nos ducis ? Killer asked after a moment.
The viking glanced at Dust, not sure about the meaning of the question, but based on his look he wasn't sure either.
- I need your help on this one, Nightmare.
Nightmare didn't answer, still staring at Horror.
- Nightmare ? He called again.
The noble hummed.
- Help please ?
That seemed to snap him out of his thoughts as he looked down at Dust with an interrogative look, not having followed along the conversation. Killer chuckled, and repeated what he said.
- Oh, uh, il veut savoir où nous allons, he translated, a bit embarrassed.
- Okay cool thanks, he grabbed his book from Killer's bag.
Horror watched him turn the pages in search for the right words.
- Hvert.. vitja.. ? He asked where they were going.
His accent was a bit off, but Horror would never get tired of hearing it, and would never criticize Dust on it, it was already very impressive that he managed to juggle between all of their languages and enabled them to communicate, so he would never make fun of him in any way, he would never make fun of any of them, not when they were all so sweet to try and understand him. He just hoped the people in his village would be as patient, Horror didn't talk very fast anyway due to his head, he preferred to make short sentences with few words, but the others talked fast and with long sentences, so he would probably need to tell them to slow down so that his friends could understand.
- Minn heima, his home, he answered.
- Oh so we're in your time, cool, Dust simply commented, as they all knew the words for home already.
- Queus estoit le problesme avoc la forest ? Cross asked, looking up at the trees.
Problem was a word they also knew.
- Fen. Blóta, he answered there was a bog, and it was cursed.
Dust turned a few pages again.
- A cursed bog... ? Uhhh.. he thought about how to translate, forest big big bad, he opted for easy words that everyone understood.
Thankfully, no one argued on that, they all just accepted that the forest was bad and followed Horror out without questions. They reached the open quite fast, leaving the bog behind them to give place to a valley. The wind was harsher here, and their thin clothes didn't help much with staying warm. Horror could have let Nightmare walk on his own now that they were out of the forest, but the way the noble shivered at the wind and pressed himself against him made him decide that he would just hold him until they arrived. He wasn't very heavy anyway, and the sun already seemed to be quite low, it was best not to stay too long outside at night.
The viking looked around for a moment, trying to spot something that would show him the way back, a marked tree, a marked stone, the shape of a lake... There wasn't anything, and for a moment he doubted that they were in his time, until he smelled the scent of cooked fish. With the drought and the fires caused by it, hunting became harder and the village relayed massively on fishing and the few plants they managed to grow, so the smell of fish was a very good indicator. Thinking about the food, he did feel a little bad about bringing four new mouths to feed knowing they didn't have much, but he couldn't just tell them to starve or let them find their own food... no, he would make sure they ate, even if he had to be the one starving for that, he was used to it anyway, and he had eaten in the other times so his magic had enough reserves to make him last at least a few weeks without eating. He would do that, the health of his friends was more important.
He lead the way, following the smell, then the smoke when they were able to see it. Killer had shuffled closer to him to avoid some of the wind hitting him in the face, and Cross was walking close to Dust as well. The first thing Horror would do upon arriving would be finding them all warm clothes.
They advanced, slowly, and the more they walked the more Horror recognized the place and gained the confidence that they were on the right way. After a while, they saw the first houses, the little ones burried in the ground, the few ones, alongside the longhouse, that had survived the fire, including Horror's house. The villagers who had lost their house to the flames had moved in the longhouse.
A man was outside, he seemed to be coming back from hunting seeing that he was carrying a spear, he was a human with a large brown beard and braids in his hair. He stopped when he spotted the newcomers. Horror stopped too, squinting, the others staying near him in case this wasn't a friendly encounter. Fortunately, Horror recognized his friend Einar, and after a moment, Einar did too as he called to him, planting his spear in the ground before rushing to the skeleton, relieved to see that he was back.
- Horror ! The human geated him with enthusiasm.
- Einar ! Horror greated back, carefully lowering Nightmare on the ground so he could stand.
The two vikings saluted each other with a firm handshake and an embrace, then Einar finally looked down at him and noticed the new clothes, which made him frown.
- Er vóro ykkr ? He asked where he had been.
Horror shrugged, he only knew when, not where.
- För, journey, he answered, then pointed at the group of confused skeletons behind him, félagi, friends, he introduced them.
Einar looked at the group, a little confused at first as there weren't any other village around, but ultimately decided it would be a question for later, so he smiled at the newcomers and welcomed them too.
- Fagna !
They didn't answer, but Killer waved and Dust looked through his book, letting Nightmare lean against Cross instead of him.
- Út-lænninge þeira, they are foreigners, Horror told his friend, implying that they didn't understand their language very well.
The confusion on Einar's face grew, and Horror had a feeling he would have a lot of questions to answer later, but not now, now he needed to get them to the village, to get Nightmare to Sunniva, their healer, a wise woman respected by all. Einar caught on the situation as well and signed for them to follow him, grabbing back his spear at the same time when they passed next to it. Horror let the group go first, staying behind them, he looked at his small village. It was good to be back.
As it was late, Horror and Einar decided that they would rest for the night and the introductions would be done in the morning. Horror let his friend lead Nightmare and Cross, as he had insisted on staying with the noble, to Sunniva's burried house so she could check on him, meanwhile he went to one of the houses converted into a storage room to grab some spare clothes as well as some bread, then brought Killer and Dust to his own burried house and let them change as he went back to wait for the two others. They got out after a moment, Nightmare had sprained his ankle and the healer had applied a herbal poultice on it to help with the pain, he would heal rapidly as long as he didn't walk too much on it, which was a relief for everyone. They joined the other two, and Horror let them change as well.
Einar wished them good night, and soon the five were all together again in the small burried house that felt way smaller now than when Horror was alone in it, not that it bothered him, at least they would all be warm for the night. He had installed more wooden planks on the ground as well as covers to make beddings for everyone, and let his own bed, that was made of wood too but at least was a bit higher from the ground, to Nightmare so that they didn't risk hitting his ankle during the night. It wouldn't be the first time they all slept close to each other, they had already done it in Cross's time in the forest - Cross, Dust and him at least, as Killer and Nightmare had stayed a bit farther – and when Nightmare had grabbed Killer and him with his tentacles, as well as Killer and Nightmare having slept in the same room, so the sleeping arrangement shouldn't be too bothering or awkward for them, he hoped.
He let them make themselves comfortable, let them find their place, watched them look around at the house and at their new clothes that Horror had to admit looked good on them, and finally settle for the night. Horror laid down too, and only looked up at Nightmare to see if he was fine ; the noble was starring at the ceiling with the same wide eye as when Horror was carrying him. The viking was about to ask him if he was fine, if the dirt didn't bother him too much as the walls and ground were made of stone and earth, or if his ankle hurt, but Nightmare eventually shook his head and turned around, so Horror didn't bother him and let him sleep. He looked at the ceiling for a moment too, he really hoped things would go well here...
He also had a thought for Dream. Nightmare had warned him about the jumps, but he still hoped the noble wasn't too worried about his brother...
Far away in time, in the nobles' house, Dream was looking for his twin. He had felt the air sting all around him and heard a loud noise from the library to which he had rushed, knowing Nightmare and Dust were there, but he only found the ladder on the floor surrounded by a few books, and no skeletons in sight.
He had looked through every room, called for his twin and his friends inside and outside, but he didn't find any of them and eventually had to face the reality : they were gone. His brother had dissapeared again, and even if he now knew that he hadn't simply ran away from home, he was still worried, who knew where, or when, he was now ? Who knew if he would one day be back home ? If they would see each other again ? He shook his head. He refused to think of the worst. His brother was with his friends, surely in one of their time if the pattern stayed the same, so he would be safe and happy, and maybe one day the jump would turn into a loop and he would see him again. He just had to wait and not lose hope.
With this more hopeful view in mind, he returned in the living room that he had left when the jump happened to grab the mails he had been reading. His hand stung when he touched the letters and he let out a surprised yelp, dropping them on the ground. The air seemed to get charged with magic, was there already another jump ? This fast after the first one ?
There was a sort of flash of light that made him close his eyes, and when he opened them again he saw someone fall on the couch in front of him, a knight judging by the armor. Dream stood there, unsure of what to do as the knight struggled to get back up, and eventually opted to help him sit on the couch, not wanting him to fall again if the jump disoriented him. The knight looked around them, then at Dream, clearly lost.
- Bonjour.. ? Dream saluted, taking a few steps back to give him space.
The knight stared at him for a moment, then slowly took his helmet off, revealing his face : he was a white skeleton with large blue eyes. The two looked at each other for a while longer before the newcomer talked too.
- Bon jor...
Dream offered him a smile.
- Je m'appelle Dream, he presented himself.
The knight smiled at him too, his grip on his helmet relaxing a bit as he too gave him his name.
