Soooo.... this is my first fanfiction and I hope I don't completely screw it up. There is suicide in this story so if that is a trigger, I wouldn't recommend reading this. If it isn't a trigger, I still would not recommend reading this. I love Error and all of the aus so Error I'm so sorry. You deserve better. #error protection squad

First chapter, START!                                                                                                                                                           ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors third pov (thanks to CoffeenPaper for the suggestion!)

A dark boned figure was sitting on the edge of the cliff in Outertale, staring at the stars and contemplating his existence. Error had always felt most at peace in this special spot, although he was still always on guard. But right now, looking at all of the stars almost made him forget why he was here right now. 

He was going to jump into the void to finally end his miserable existence. 

He couldn't take it anymore. You see, the multiverse needed to be kept in a balance. If there are too many universes they will bump into each other, and cause a chain reaction of mass destruction. To keep this from happening, Error destroyed universes to make space for Inks new ones. Error didn't like his job, but he really had no choice in the matter. He was forced to do this by FATE, who created Ink. Fate loved her child, but when she told him of the balance, he didn't hear her. She wanted him to be able to create freely, so she took a Sans from an au and brought him to the Anti-void, an endless white space. This Sans was Error. Fate told him of his job, and screamed at him along with other voices about what to do. Needless to say it was not a fun experience. 

Not surprisingly, Ink was not happy when Error started destroying his creations. Error didn't blame him though. He hated himself as well. Besides, he didn't think Ink knew of the balance, and Fate wouldn't allow him to tell Ink. Even if he somehow managed to inform him of the balance, he doubted Ink would believe him though because apparently he was a "Soulless monstrosity that wouldn't stop until everything was destroyed" With being the destroyer, many people usually attack him which resulted in injuries that should have killed him. But because of Fates gracious gifts of healing, he couldn't die from injuries. 'Unless I fall into the void. It will rip me apart and Fate won't be able to save me then.' Error thinks once again. He stifles a giggle at the thought. 

Error was a bit sad that most people hated him, although he really couldn't blame them. For some reason he was "friends" with Blue and Nightmare's gang. He also had some sort of bond with the Chara's of the multiverse. He didn't really understand his strange relationship with Fresh. He really didn't know why Fresh decided to hang around him sometimes. He had to acknowledge that the company was nice though.

 He has helped the gang out a couple times when they were in a tight spot, and although he hated to admit it, he was quite fond of them. He knew that they probably didn't think of him the same way.

He also had a special connection with the Charas of the aus. They all decided to call him duncle Error, and he thought that it was kind of adorable. He knew that they didn't deserve to be hated, and that they really had tried to just stop Frisk from doing genocide. That was one thing they had in common, both being the scapegoats of the multiverse. The blame always fell on them, but Error really did try to cheer up the Charas. Error always stole chocolate from Fell Sans because he heard that the kiddos liked the stuff, although Error had no idea what to do with it or what it was. He also knitted them dolls and clothes as special little gifts in his free time. 

 Blue's friendship wasn't really his choice. While he was a bit mentally unstable, he had almost destroyed the original Underswap and had taken the Sans that lived there back to the Anti-void. For some reason this sans, whose nickname was Blue, was determined to become his friend and try to make him change his ways. Although Error didn't stop destroying, they did end up becoming good friends, and Error brought him back to his universe. He used to visit him when Blue's Papyrus wasn't home.

Error did notice that whenever the Star Sanses were fighting him because he destroyed an au, Blue would look disappointed in him. He really wished that he could just tell everyone the truth while he was alive, but Fate would not allow it. Which is why he felt the only way out of this hopeless situation was to die, and hopefully Ink would stop creating. 

Sure he had his doubts. 'what if it doesn't work?' 'what if I'm making a mistake and everyone dies?' He left behind a message to everyone and tell them everything they needed to know, so it should be fine, right? Error wasn't sure if Ink and the others would take it seriously though, and then all he had done would have been for nothing.

Despite the risks, Error was DETERMINED to do this. 

He knew it would make everyone else happier, and they could all live peaceful lives. To tell the truth, the only reason he had stayed this long was to protect Nightmare's gang and all of the Chara's. 

Just a few Months ago, miraculously the gang had come to a compromise with the Light Sanses. If Nightmare promised to stop attacking au's then Ink wouldn't attack them anymore. The only reason Nightmare had agreed is because one battle before this had almost killed all of the gang, and he didn't want to risk losing them. In addition to that, The gang actually moved into the star Sanses base, and they were beginning to trust each other although they were still a bit wary.      (It may not make a lot of sense but lets just say that it works. For Plot Reasonsᵗᵐ)

 For the Chara's, he used to be the only one who accepted them. Now with the gang being accepted, most people started to give them a chance, and it seemed to be going well. He felt that they would be fine without him. 

Because both groups were safe now, Error didn't feel any reason to be here. He had declined Inks offer to join them because he knew that he couldn't. He didn't deserve to be happy with everyone else, and besides, he still had a job to do. 

He kept destroying until he felt that the multiverse was about balanced, so he could rest knowing his job was done. In that time he hadn't taken any breaks, because he wanted it to be over as soon as possible. He hadn't seen his "friends" in a while because he wanted to emotionally distance himself, and he didn't want to see their angered and sad faces. 

He knew that Blue would be extremely disappointed in him for going on a destroying streak, since he really believed that Error could change. He also knew that Nightmare had wanted Error to agree in the truce with Ink, and he was confused and angry when he continued destroying. It was for the best though. He wouldn't bother anyone ever again.

"Are you ready?" said one of the voices. This had startled Error out of his thoughts, and he noticed that he had never heard this voice before. It sounded comforting, unlike the others who just screamed at him.

'Yes' he thought to himself, 'I think I'm ready to go now.'

 He slowly stood up off the ground and neared the edge. He removed his scarf and placed it behind him, although he was sure it would be forgotten. He took one last look at the peaceful starlit sky and leaned back. He wondered why he was crying.

'I'm finally going to be free...' 

And with that, he fell into the nothingness.
