Forgot to mention Fresh, so I'll talk about him here. He and Fresh annoy the heck out of eachother. Fresh seemed to know about him when he was insane, but they officially met after he had calmed down and regined his sanity. They act as bickering siblings, despite not being biologically so. Fresh likes to bug the heck out of Error every chance he gets, but even so, he often also helps Error in little ways, once giving him a book on how to raise children, despite Error being sure he never mentioned them. Fresh just said "I saw this book, and thought of you Error bro. It's the bomb digaty!" So Error got mad and left, but the book was quite useful, not that he would admit it. So yeah, Fresh probably knows, but he is the only one who (maybe) knows.

Error destroyed things left and right, never satisfied with just one au. He was now face to face with ink. Only filled with rage, he attacked. The battle seemed endless, but eventually, it ended with a draw, Error retreating. Error was in pain, as always. The Anti-void he called home was an endless white space, the voices mocking him, making him feel insane.

Eventually Error gained some brain function in his insanity, now enjoying what he was doing, eventually getting an underswap sans and bringing him to his home. Through, only a few weeks, the sans (who wanted to be called 'Blue') helped him quite a bit. Eventually Error dropped him off back at his au, saying that he wouldn't stop destroying, but glad for his help nonetheless.

All through the next years Error found himself figuring out how wonderful some aus could be, like in Outertale, and how there were others like him, in Nightmare and his gang. Error gained much of his sanity back, and even grew much smarter, however, he also found what he was. He was Error, the God of Destruction, and he was fine with the role given to him. To him it was a job he could enjoy, and he relished in the destruction he could bring! But he also tried to treat it with respect, marking certain aus, (only marking the non-original ones because he could already feel which ones were original) the underswap one where he met Blue was one he marked.

When he was marking and checking out aus he noticed a few things. For one, his magic was more vibrant in one of the aus, one where he had fought in a huge battle against Ink. Going there he noticed that the au hadn't finished disappearing, almost done, but he noticed his and Ink's magic merging, so he decided to stay, ignoring the urge to destroy for a little while. Eventually he saw their magic create a whole new being, their code was incredible! Error picked him up, and all he could think was, "PaperJam". He left, quickly fleeing the au just in time for the world to completely disappear.

Error was able to create (shocking, I know) a house in his Anti-void, the voices not bothering PJ, much to his content. He even figured out how to handle PJ, the voices even telling him what he needed, (insulting him at the same time, but still helpful) and Error did a pretty good job. However, the pull to destroy got ever so stronger, and eventually he left PJ in his crib and went on a spree of destruction once again. He destroyed many aus, the codes bluring together in an almost perfect match sometimes. After two fights with Ink and the star sanses, Error realizing Blue was there too, he went back to the Anti-void. After a few days, Error visited Blue, reassuring him that he was fine now, and talked with him a bit (not telling him about his kid) before going back to the Anti-void to check up on PJ.

After many years of Error routinely destroying aus, he had gained three new children. Them being Jupiter, then Gradient, and then Ember.

Jupiter happened two years after PJ. Error had constantly gone to multiple outer aus, eventually having to destroy many of them, but since he went to them so many times his magic was sometimes left there, and having to destroy the aus, and destroy so many outertale sanses caused some of the already destroyed/collapsing aus to collide, and eventually, the magic was enough to create Jupiter, who he immediately took under his wing and to his home. The voices were mad that he created another child, and one without their other parent this time. Error understood, and from then on he tried to be more careful, coming back to aus after he had already destroyed them in order to monitor them.

However, after a few more years, PJ being 6, and Jupiter being 4, he had another huge battle against Ink and the star sanses, this time completely off guard as he had only just started destroying. It was an incredible battle, magic was all up in the air, Error was able to get to a situation where only he and Ink could fight, Error more hurt than Ink, and the fight continued. Eventually Error retreated, incredibly wounded from battle. He knew he couldn't die, but he could still feel pain. Error got home and collapsed on the couch, ignoring the voices, and the sound of PJ. When he awoke, He was covered in a blanket, and the pull to destroy was strong, signifying he had been asleep for while. Error got up, and checked on his children, Jupiter was asleep and PJ was watching over them. He soon found out that PJ covered him in a blanket, put Jupiter to sleep, and was watching over them incase something happened. Error put PJ to sleep, reading them a bedtime story, before going out to destroy. After he was done, being very careful of running into the star sanses. He felt a familiar, but different feeling. Knowing what it was he went to it, and found Gradient where the huge battle had commenced. He took him home, Pj and Jupiter having a new little brother. When Jupiter found out, she was super excited, wanting to show them the pictures of the plants from her books. PJ teased as normal.

Ember didn't appear for a couple more years. PJ being 9, Jupiter being 7, and Gradient being 3. Error was in a huge battle in a reapertale au. And athough the au had basically already fallen, death and dispair was still clear in this au. The reason it wasn't already gone was because the bad sanses were there, and they liked the despair of this previously happy au.

The star sanses appeared in full, and a huge battle commenced. There had been big battles before then, but Error had done a good job of destroying what was there. This, however, was huge. Death and destruction plauged the au, the feeling not even coming only from Error. The fight itself fueled the au, feeding the feeling of death. Because of this the bad sanses technically won, but Error insisted on destroying the au, having already noticed the magic swirling and boiling, turning their magic remnants to black goo as a sign of death. Nightmare reluctantly agreed after Error said the au was about to fall apart anyways and wanted to have fun with it. Afterwards Error did destroy the au, but the child had already formed by then. Ember was created from the rements, and Error took them back to his home.

In the end Error has 4 children, and has been able to make it so no new children have formed. Error works hard to be a good parent for them, often going undercover in aus to get them things, and grabbing books and other things in aus he destroys. They all go to outertale when they have been good as a reward, seeing as they all love the au and stars, especially Jupiter, to no one's surprise. However, everyone else knows him as a stone cold destroyer, who destroys for the fun of it. (I mean, he's not stone cold, but he does enjoy destroying.) No one knows of his children, not Blue, not Nightmare and his gang, no one. Error has been keeping them secret for quite awhile now, but how long can he protect them?

Hello! This chapter was just a catch-up. Error is not really a forced God, but he also doesn't destroy everything in his path like a heartless killer. You'll see the other kids at the top throughout the book for a visual reference. So the only 'parent' they have alive is Ink, and they all know Error's job. And Error has told them how they came to being, (with quite a bit of sugar coating) so they know that too. In the end they all love Error, and call him 'dad' and the such. He also tries to teach them to use their powers, struggling to do this sometimes, as some of their powers differ from his. Hope you enjoyed! See ya later!
