⊹.✮₊⋆⭒˚PaperGuitar Beloveds｡⋆‧₊˚✩彡

OK So for some context to what paperguitar is, It is an OCxOC pairing of mine between Fluke (a Cross/Swap kid) and Scot (A Killermare kid).

Fluke is the son of Cross and Swap, created with his twin brother Cort after a battle Swap and Cross had, the both having some standards agree upon raising the twins, with Cross occasionally dropping by to Underswap where the boys lived for the first 5 years of their lives.

Fluke and Cort growing up in Underswap did mostly develop their sense of selves, although off the bat Fluke was a shy and timid child, often shying behind Swap or following his dad around with a more inclination to Cross whenever his papa visited since Fluke didn't make very many friends in Underswap as some kids would make fun of him so ofc he was closer to their parents.

Cort, while a little off topic, Was more so the blank opposite of Fluke, being more brash and louder than Fluke was, a lot more confident too and made a lot of friends in Underswap, He was closer to Swap than Cross but even then Cort was supporting of his twin and would usually shoo off any of the bullies that bothered Fluke

although to a degree, Cort was also a little jealous of Fluke as he usually had Swap or Cross's attention, of course though this doesn't play out till a few years later but I'll get to that later :}c

Now more or less speaking, Swap and Cross since the twins were around 3 had started having arguments, usually about their loyalty to each of the sides they were apart of, Cross getting more angrier every time the two fought. With this growing tension between their parents, its when things start to seem like they're falling apart.

More so for Fluke since he spent more of his time with Swap and Cross whenever he could, there were a lot of times where Fluke would peer into a room and witness the two fighting to a point where Cross and Swap just seemed to be arguing over every little thing they could about each other. By no means were they really "together" but

You can imagine that little 5 year old Fluke isn't having the best time seeing his parents get angry with each other.

Though upon the twins 6th birthday, in the dead of night, Cross breaks into Swaps house and more or less tricks the twins to come live with him, later lieing through his teeth that Swap was planning on getting rid of them and that Cross had saved them by taking them to his residental in Nightmares Castle.

Cort doesn't believe this and feels hurt that its even a possiblitity but for Fluke? oh god its devistating cause Fluke looked up to Swap and wanted to be a lot like him when he grew up.

but now learning the one he admired so much possibly wanted nothing to do with him, it was shattering for Fluke and more or less Cross takes advantage of this by offering Fluke to follow in his own footsteps to become a real royal knight to which Fluke absolutely takes and around this point after a couple months of more or less proving himself to Cross, Fluke is Introduced to Scot :}c

~~~~~~ onto scott ~~~~~

Now, Scots a Biological kid between Killer and Nightmare, even if it wasn't for much wanted means, Scot was born to be Nightmares "proper heir" as Crescent failed to fit into that box.

Scot more or less lives strictly under Nightmares guidance, stuck in the manor and not allowed to ever leave much less ever hear of the outside world, the only things Scot can being under Nightmares sayings and or whatever nightmare aproved for Scot to hear. Cresent doesn't follow this Rule and often gets in trouble for it.

Though it doesn't stop Crescent much as he didn't care much about Nightmares disapproval but when Scot was starting to get hurt from Cresent telling him these things, he couldn't quite tell Scot as much but same time he didn't want to leave Scot so far in the dark about the multiverse.

Although when I say Scot was originally a spoiled little brat, I mean like he was spoiled, undoubtedly by Nightmare himself teaching scot to follow in his own hateful footsteps. Of course though Nightmare carefully had curated what Scot could turn out to be, being a lot more controlling over Scot than he had been with Crescent.

To some part of what Scot was taught by Nightmare that he was an inheriting guardian of Negativity, the true gem of nightmares kingdom. Scot was entitled to many things and so long as he sought for it, it would be his.

At some point down the line, Nightmare had also put the idea into Scots head that because he was of nightmares lineage, he had to be careful because people outside these walls didn't understand them like the people here did, that any positive spirit were to ever meet Scot, they would want to kill him by any means without hesitance to further keep Scot under his thumb.

of course this still later backfires on nightmare but thats a later thing. Now up until Scot was 6, he'd never seen any other kid his age before, so surprise surprise when an odd, timid someone had started following him around.

Of course, actually Scot doesn't realize this till like after 5 months of Fluke tailing him, opening doors and overall doing things for Scot in hopes to get the others attention lol,,

Although at first Scot HATES Flukes guts and even after he tries to shoo Fluke off by being demeaning and rude to scare him off, he storms to his Father and demands and I quote "Father who is this wet dog that insists on following me!!" to which Scot (and a little Fluke)v discover that Fluke is to be Scots assigned personal knight.

Fluke is ecstatic about it although Scot is more like "you've got to be kidding me"

Scot argues with his Father but Nightmare shuts that down quickly like "idgaf there's no argument." And dismisses Scot to whom of which is fuming. So ofc like any rational spoiled 6 year old, Scot gave a lot of responsibilies and made a lot of demands to Fluke in spite of his Father but also fully believing Fluke can't do any of it and sometimes even getting Fluke to do things that could be very well dangerous like going outside (even if that's really just a rule for Scot) and then trying to tattle about it which as you can guess fails miserably.

-------- awa cw applies here -----

Of course tired of Scots tantrum Nightmare tries to enforce his say upon Scot with brute force but to Scots surprise, Fluke ends up standing up to Nightmare after witnessing him hit Scot. Scots baffled and confused why Fluke would even do such a thing, much less even dare to stand aginst his Father but it blossoms a small bit of Newfound interest and a little bit of something else that he let's up on Fluke. Honestly the only reason why Fluke even makes it out alive that day Is because Nightmare was feeling merciful, but found it funny enough that Fluke even thought he could stand a fighting chance against him that he'd more or less let Fluke off with a small scratch.

----- that's all,, continue reading -----

After that, Scot and Fluke start getting along a bit better as Scot starts to see more of all the little things that Fluke does for him, going as far as to sit with Scot quietly to comfort him after Nightmare had been particularly angry or after witnessing Killer and Nightmare argue themselves cause sure while Killer was emotionless, He still had the smallest shred of what you could hardly call a mother's instinct with Scot so he often snapped at and snidely acted to Nightmare which ended in less than well ways for Killer.

Now while Fluke and Scot get more acquainted, Fluke starts telling Scot about his time in Underswap after he mentions something he learned from his Uncle.

Around this time is when Scot learns that he more or less can dabble in making his own poetry and guitar after Fluke shows Scot a guitar that his papa had given to him but Fluke hadn't really taken to it so he hoped that maybe Scot would like and boy does Scot ever.

It's more or less around when the boys are 8 is when Fluke and Cort have their accident, as mentioned earlier Cort has had Jealousy brewing in him since they were toddlers. On top of this, Cort took more of a following stature to Killer instead of following Cross like his papa wanted him to.

Killer certainly teases Cross about it but really Cross really could care less as Fluke does fine which yeah, for what Cort was trying to do it only increased his festering feelings till one day he accidently ends up blinding Fluke in his left eye after throwing one of his throwing knives at Fluke during one of their scuffles.

For a bit of context for that, Fluke and Cort ever since getting to the manor started to fight each other, first starting off as Cort antagonizing Fluke about really being Scots mutt because of how much he followed the prince, but over time it started escalating into full blown fights between them.

of course neither of them hurt each other besides a heal-able bruise or scrapes that weren't that bad. regardless even if they fought like it, the two didn't actually ever have the intent to actually kill or hurt the other gravely. The fact that Fluke got hit with such attack was because Cort misjudged where Fluke was going to interpret his attack intending to only nick Flukes cheek but instead hit him square in the eye socket.

Safe to say more or less Cort Instantly recoiled, gasping when he had realized that he'd really hurt his brother he instantly stopped and franticly tried to calm Fluke down who was reasonably sobbing, Hearing the commotion, Luckily it was Cross who had came over and instantly taken Fluke to the med bay and dealt with the Injury.

Cort doesn't think he'd get his brothers crying out of his head after that and he apologies profusely,,,

Scot Later realizes he can't find fluke upon to be notified that fluke was injured and in the Med bay probably resting to which Scot goes absolutely running to in worry (and Scot would refuse to admit that he cares/gotten attached for Fluke at this point lmao)

Fluke is a littleee high on painkillers still but he's coherent enough to assure Scot that he's fine (As if he hadn't been sobbing like an hour ago and like he hadnt just been turned half blind) although in his lack of filtering mindset, he accidently ends up telling Scot that Cort had accidently done this which enrages Scot but Fluke ending up clinging onto Scot and asking that Scot stays with him because he doesn't want to be alone and also rather wouldn't want his prince to go hunting down bis brother because they both know it was a genuine accident so reluctantly Scot calms himself for the moment and keeps Fluke company and claims to anyone he's "making sure my knight recovers to the best of his ability" and Fluke does mostly heal up and is lucky that the eyelight wasn't entirely destroyed by the blade but it had done some considerable damage to Flukes eye socket that it rendered the eye far too hazy to truely use saddly.

Safe to say Cort had to avoid Scot for a while before and even then It was clear thay Scot wasn't happy with Cort for a long time and from this point things go on as living does in Nightmares Manor goes and also with Cort about to bash their heads together because he can see the pinning from several aus afar. Unfortunately that also means as the two get older there's more responsibilities and worse things Nightmare subjects them to which is when the boys are 15 is when the first of their whispers about leaving the manor is shared between them.

At first Scot is appalled that Fluke would even suggest such a thing, especially because everyone out there would be out to get him but Fluke assures him that He'd do anything to make sure that Scot would be safe. So with that the two start their plotting, waiting for until Nightmare leaves the manor to actually execute their plan, Quickly Packing what little they could carry and Fluke Hopping into another AU.

Now this is more or less where they can end up in a multitude of different outcomes from running away from Nightmare, going from Nightmare finding them again and punishing them for even attempting that to a happy ending where they manage to escape from Nightmare and end up meeting Dream.

whom of which didn't even know that he was an uncle and upon discovering the Abuse that Nightmare put Scot though, Dream drops trying to save Nightmare realizing his brother just really isn't there and more so focuses on trying to help Scot the best he can even though Scot is utterly terrified cause of what Nightmare had taught him about positive guardians but they eventually are able to settle down in the following years and Avery (Paperguitar kid) is born and they live pretty happily making friends and living an actually pretty normal life

little extra that I mentioned on discord but I'm rephrasing here, during this wholleee journey Fluke and Scot aren't together, for the record the two never had the best idols for what an ideal relationship looked like with most relationships they'd seen around them were harsh and cruel, something they never wanted to be to each other.

so to them for a long time don't quite say they're together but they certainly don't deny their feelings to each other cause they absolutely act like a couple when people aren't around and even then with how clingy they are to each other and honestly anyone who's even a mile away can tell the two love each other

ask them though and they'd be like "what?? no we're not together" or like one phrasing "you don't kiss your friends" one of them responds "well yeah but Scot/Fluke is my BEST friend" and I honestly am sure everyone around them is face palming though it's probably figured out through some extensive therapy and upon learning what a further than friendship relationships look like, they'd, even if slowly, get that though they're still the bestest of friends who may kiss every so often lol

They're so beloved though hliek anijfdshbvbi they're my beloveds your honor and I'm going to go feral for them PLEASE

anyways thank you for coming to my Ted talk that is all yippee!!

please PLEASE ASK ABOUT THEM I'D LOVE TO YAP MORE
