Summary
Cross finds himself responsible for the death of his universe. After years in the white unending void, his tears summon Nightmare, who brings him back to the Castle.
It’s the aftermath of a more brutal XTale au, where Cross deals with PTSD and OCD, while trying to make a place for himself in the gang. It’s difficult, when you make mistakes left and right.

Summary
Killer can still remember what it was like in those early days, when he was first picked up by Nightmare and brought into an environment where he had a chance to slow down and process things. He can still remember the guilt, the panic, the regret that finally had a chance to set in, still remember how Nightmare refused to numb him completely because the Guardian knew how important it was to feel these emotions. And eventually, that pain grew less prominent, the guilt less all consuming, the regret not as sharp. He learnt to live, learnt to forgive himself and he will do everything in his power to help Cross forgive himself as well.

Summary
In a world where soulmates have the innate ability to draw a map to each other, at all times, no matter how strong their magic is, Cross and Epic, in almost four decades of life, don't live with a soulmate. They live with each other.
Cross gave up a long time ago.
Epic doesn't believe he has one. Until, that is...
OR: Epic and Cross have the most devoted, very platonic, seriously, not even baby crushes (non-soulmate!!1!1!!), relationship you've ever seen. Except they absolutely do and they're just super oblivious and also kind of traumatized

Summary
Cross has the ability to dream-hop. Epic never explained to him why he disliked sleeping so much, but honestly, his lack of sleep is affecting his health, along with a few other things, and Cross is worried.
So, when he finds Epic asleep with a furrowed brow, he tries to dream-hop into Epic’s head. It feels wrong to breach his friend’s privacy, but maybe, if Cross is there, Epic will start to like sleep.Then he saw why Epic hated sleeping.

Summary
Annoyance and guilt is a tumultuous concoction that roils in his nonexistent gut and combusts outward into a vexed growl before he could stop it. He tried to hide his limp wings further but they laid, broken and useless just like him, tucked into his sides from where his draconic bottom half sat. “I already told you and Chara both, they’ll heal on their own.”
“I know,” Epic soothed. “I won’t try an’ heal them. I just wanted to clean ‘em a bit, that’s all.” Epic’s smile falls at the corners as he gazes purposefully over his body. The inspection has Cross defensively straightening his back and feathers bristling before he can think of why he’d do that.
“Figured you probably weren’t feeling too great after not showering for a hot minute.”
With dawning horror and shame, Cross realizes he hadn’t exactly been able to bathe after…everything. Shit, he hopes he doesn’t smell that bad after a month.
When Epic’s turned back around to fiddle with his machinery, Cross takes a quick sniff under his left humerus and winces. Nope, he smelled that bad.

Summary
The cab's door closed with a soft *thud*.
Cross looked at the rear-view mirror, more professional than fully turning around to see the person he'd be driving around. He was just that, professional.
Or at least he tried to be, he hadn't been working as a taxi driver for very long, actually, but it was a nice enough job. The pay was good, even if the company that hired him was less than desirable. He'd climb his way up from there in due time.
Besides, the service was plenty when the city was so full of life.
Not this part, specifically. This part was nearly desolate, industrial estate thirty minutes away from it, no one in sight... except for the man that he had in his back seat.
Or,
Cross is an overworked taxi driver, too overworked to really judge the weird guy that keeps on requesting rides from random location to random location. He pays well, and Cross really just wants to get by. He knows nothing of the other, other than how nice he is to talk to, in the sea of tourists he has to drive around.

Summary
The transition from being a royal guard in his universe to being a henchman for the King of Negativity was not easy for Cross.
He never expected his life to turn out the way it did. That being said, he wasn’t going to let the situation he landed in hinder him from carrying out his duties as a soldier, even if that title didn’t hold the same weight anymore. What he wasn’t expecting, however, was his teammates reactions to his…quirks.
Characters are a bit OOC, so read at your own discretion.

Summary
Cross can count on one hand how many times it has happened. It’s something that so rarely makes itself known that half the time he forgets it’s even an issue. It’s not like there are warning signs either, no gradual build up or feeling that it’s about to happen. He’ll just wake up one day and know that it’s started. But it hasn’t happened for almost three years and he doesn’t think about it all that much or at all until he wakes up in Nightmare’s castle one day and the very thought of food makes him ill.
The problem is that sometimes, food is just an obstacle that seems far too hard to navigate for Cross at times.

Summary
Starting out on Hermitcraft only knowing Mumbo was hard enough. But then there was also Doc. Doc, who was huge and intimidating already. Whose Creeperness set off Grians avian fight or flight instincts if he even looked in his direction. And who seemed to have a personal bone to pick with him courtesy of Grian being a Watcher.

Summary
"I don't want to pry," Xisuma said when they were speaking before his official invitation to join. "And not answering won't change whether or not you get whitelisted. We admins just prefer to have a heads up if anything's likely to come trying to dig you up, so we can keep you and everyone else safe."
Grian thought back to obsidian and endstone and blood, to tattered wings and torn robes and so so many unseeable eyes, and swallowed hard.
"No," he said, his voice shaky. "No, I don't think anyone will come looking for me."
"Okay," Xisuma answered, and that was that.
Until they invited two new people to the server.
or, the Hermitcraft Backstory Rule says that you don't ask other people about their backstory, you let them tell it if they want to and leave it be if they don't.
Unfortunately for Grian, one of the newest Hermits was also a player on his old server - one he'd thought had been dead for years - and she's going to drag his backstory kicking and screaming into the light whether she means to or not.

Summary
It started out as a joke with Killer asking Nightmare who his favourite kid was. The King of Negativity gave the generic parent answer of not having a favourite while Error had no problem in saying his. They had laughed it off, thinking it a joke. It’s not till the Stars make the biggest mistake in their lives that they realise just how serious Error actually was.

Summary
Cross had always been intrigued by the soulmate phenomena and yearned to meet his fated lover, after all, who wouldn’t be curious who was destined to be your complimenting part? Most people around him have found their happiness…Except, to the guard’s disappointment, for him. No matter how much he searched he never seemed to find that mysterious person but he definitely felt their pain.
Killer on the other hand wasn’t that enthusiastic about this whole ‘soulmate’ thing. He was broken and couldn’t even feel physical pain to the full extent like others. He didn’t want to burden whoever was cursed to be bound to him of all creatures, though he still hoped for things to become better.
Usually, it’s quite easy to realize who’s your soulmate. If you’re not Cross or Killer that is.
tl;dr: Kross AU where soulmates share pain;
