All praise obi wan snowobi for the edit!

The multiverse was young when Ink first met Error.

Two young beings, with duties beyond mortal understanding.

It was easier to remember back then, he wasn't as much of a squid brain, as Error liked to call him.

It got harder to remember as time went on, and he sometimes wondered if it was due to his powers or something else.

Error never forgot anything!

And no, Error, that did not mean he needed a reminder of the mudwars AU.

He would never admit he was glad that AU was gone.

And no, he was not explaining.

Error and himself had first met in a world where colors were names, where forests and pastures went as far as the eye could see.

He missed that AU.

He'd sensed something in the AU that wasn't the AU.

And there was Error, looking at the flowers in awe, as if he'd never seen them before.

Ink, of course, introduced himself.

And Error vanished, startled.

The second time they met wasn't until many years later. He scared Error again, and ended up in a river.

The third... well, that time, he finally got the other's name.

It was like a multiversal game of tag!

They had been so innocent then.

Only later did he learn to curse Fate and himself.
