Error!Sans Headcanon

On the extremely rare occasion that Error falls ill, he lags, like a particularly janky video game. His memory of that time is usually corrupted, too, so when he feels like he’s coming down with something, he cocoons himself in his strings in an attempt to recuperate without the likes of Ink or Fresh trying to mess with him.

Ιnk: Heh, Heh! Please don't pay attention to him! He didn't have a good time in his previous life!

Error: I am not having a good time in this life either! I am hoping for the next.

That is a reference from a series I watched lately, and my mind pretty much automatically made the connections.

Nightmare’s Gang Headcanon

In fights, the group works like a well-oiled machine.  Nightmare choreographs their actions and positions them where they’re most likely to succeed, and provides backup himself if something goes awry.  However, outside of fights, the group butts heads like snakes and mongooses.

Dust and Killer seem like they would get along well, considering their similar pasts of living through innumerable Genocide runs.  However, Dust can’t even comprehend the idea of giving into the human child who tortured him, killed Papyrus, and emptied the underground just because they could.  Killer, on the other hand, was disgusted that Dust could kill his friends and brother, under his own free will, for some sanctimonious delusion that it would be better for them to become EXP for him than the human who destroyed their lives over and over again.

Killer and Dust don’t care much for Horror.  Despite the many human lives he’s taken, Horror’s LV isn’t on par with either of their’s, but he had enough to not be easy EXP, which discourages them from trying.  (And Nightmare’s threats towards dusting each other might’ve had something to do with it as well.)  They thought him soft, despite the Hell his world was currently going through, because his timeline was a Neutral one, but his bite was worse than his bark, and they were reminded of that whenever they push him too hard. Horror, in return, despises the two Genocidal skeletons.  The idea of dusting another monster (besides Undyne) was unfathomable; the monsters of his world fought tooth and nail for survival beside one another.  While he held bitter feelings towards Frisk, and a dark pit of regret sat heavy in his soul for not stopping them in the Judgement Hall and saving his world from a perilous future, he didn’t enjoy having to kill humans to survive.  But he would do what it took to preserve what remained of his world, even work with psycho- and sociopaths in return for scraps to bring home to his people.

Cross is a difficult case.  He isn’t a murderer like the so-called “Murder Trio,” and had a whole slew of issues on a different scale from them, due to experiencing OVERWRITES instead of RESETS, and, recently, remembering the past “lifetimes” that’d gotten overwritten.  But he’s also been betrayed by Ink, who was supposed to be his friend and a good person, so while he doesn’t hold any ill-will towards Dream, he wants others to hurt just like he is.  And because Nightmare doesn’t expect any of them to kill for him (not if they can help it, which Killer and Dust sometimes can’t), and Cross can meet his expectations of sowing chaos just fine, he’s an official member of the group.  He avoids Dust, not so much out of dislike for the other skeleton - the few times they’ve interacted, the other proved to be more mellow towards him than he expected -, but because he likes to talk to himself sometimes, and that reminds Cross too much of having Chara in his head.  He feels neutral towards Killer, and vice versa.  They don’t interact much outside of fights, though Killer extends the offer to teach Cross about fighting with knives, seeing as somehow, even without Chara absorbed into his soul, he can somehow summon the knife-blade still.  Cross and Horror get along best out of the group, often paired up in fights because neither of them have their other teammates’ high LV, and with Cross’ standard HP and Horror’s dismal DEF, they have to have each others’ backs, which leads to more camaraderie outside of fights than they have with the others.

Because Nightmare can’t trust his group to be alone together outside of fights, Dust and Horror are sent back to their timelines once they’ve recovered from any injuries they might’ve received stirring up negative emotions in universes or scrapping with Ink and his posse.  Error, while not an official part of the group, uses the abandoned universe Nightmare claimed as his territory to get out of the Anti-Void when Outertale is being patrolled by the Star Sanses or their brainwashed “allies,” and in return, he snared the souls of Killer and Dust’s Charas and turns a blind eye to the existence of the anomalies that NIghtmare’s decided to collect.

Murder Time Trio Headcanon (+ Geno)

Dusttale, Horrortale, and Killer!Sans all have a shard missing from their souls, because Geno!Sans was the original “Classic” Sans.  Geno, watching from the Save Screen, didn’t interfere with Horrortale or Killer!Sans’ timelines, which allowed them to grow into their own “universes” within the Undertale Universe, but Dusttale Sans was the first Sans he pulled into the Save Screen, and was the only Sans who agreed to try and help Geno accomplish his goals.  He eventually was driven mad by the countless genocidal RESETS he lived through and turned to murdering monsters in an attempt to combat Chara; Geno didn’t interfere with that timeline again.  (Error somehow gets along better with Dusttale Sans than the rest of Nightmare’s entourage, but neither one can pinpoint why.)
