Chapter Text

Error sighed. It really was getting late.

He was finishing paperwork at the front desk while Sans snoozed in the bitty bed they kept up there, still under the bone-covered blanket that Ink got him. Usually Sans and Red worked the desk together, but Red rode back to the apartment with Blue so he could put CiCi to bed. Sans waited with Error and Ink. Ink was in the throes of some sort of creative genius in the back. It was hard telling how long it would be, which was why Error got himself a pile of paperwork to go through. 

Sans was snoring softly when the front door burst open. 

“reap?” Error said.

“Heya, kid. Listen, get ya supplies together we got another call--a hoarder.”

“oh fuck,” Sans said.

“Yeah. It’s real bad,” Reaper said. “So hurry up. We gotta go.”

“i’ll go grab ink,” Error said. “and you’re gonna drive like you got some sense, ok?”

“I’m an excellent driver!”

“you drive like physics don’t apply to you!”

“Boys, boys,” Ink said, dashing to Error’s side and handing him a medical kit, “we’re on a time crunch here. You said a hoarder?”

“sans went and got you, didn’t he?” Error said.

“Yeppers.”

“cool. sans, hold down the fort. we’ll be back.”

“i’ll get the space ready and call the others,” Sans said.

“Geno’s already on his way, too,” Reaper said. “Let’s go.”

Error grabbed Ink’s hand and followed Reaper out the door to their next rescue.

Notes:

I cannot believe it's time to end this story. It's been a year and a half during the hardest time of my life. I don't even recognize the person that started this story anymore, but this story was always here chugging along for me to come back to. It helped keep me grounded when everything else was just the absolute worst.

I cannot tell you how much I have appreciated each one of you on this journey. I'm so honored to have written a story you enjoyed. Thank you for being here.

Now, what's next? Well, first of all, I have a couple of other fics that need finishing and have been sitting on the back burner for waaaaay too long! I have a few ideas for stories to write next, too. I don't know what my next drabble will be, or when it'll begin, but I'm already starting thing have ideas. I also have some ideas for follow-up stories in this universe, so is this the last we'll see of these characters? Probably not.

I hope to see you again around the internet <3 <3 <3

P.S. I have decided to be an active member of the community, so I'm actually using Tumblr now. Check it out if you want! Right now it's not much to look at, but it exists...
