“If you ever leave your things at my apartment again, don’t expect to get them back so easily,” the older chided, a knowing glint in his eye lights. He raised the papers away from him as he reached out. “Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

“Yes, of course,” Killer stumbled over his words, frantically making sure everything was still there, “you’re a lifesaver, boss man—”

He cut his gratitudes off short, the bell tower chiming off in the far distance. Scrambling, the younger took off towards his class, calling back behind himself.

“THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU, BYE!”

Nightmare let his gaze follow the empty-socketed skeleton as his form streaked away, sporting an unamused expression. He sighed, shaking his head as he turned to leave.

“Freshmen…”

—————

It’s back! I’ve been doing a lot of character work and world build for CCA!AU and have finally gotten back on track with it!

Nightmare is a current Junior, living off campus in his own apartment. Killer is a wily freshman with an undecided major who came to college to find the party scene. Hope you like this!

Nightmare and Dreamtale created by @/jokublog Killer created by @/rahafwabas CCA!AU and these versions of the characters belong to myself

God, I have *so* much info, like you would not believe-

I’m going to start with simple details into a few of the characters, but a brief explanation into the AU is also deserved. Basically, this is partially a college AU mixed up with a bunch of realistic scenarios and lesser talked about subjects.

There are several characters that it will follow and all the subplots are weaved together like a textile rug, all interconnected and important to each other. We’ll start out with the “Bad” sans gang, and I’ll tell you a little bit about them!

Nightmare - Currently a Junior in college. Studying pre-law, getting his bachelor’s degree before heading off to law school. - Was adopted as an infant into a more than well-off family. Both his adoptive parents are in judicial practices, as is his adoptive grandfather. He bears a heavy expectation on his shoulders. - He often is forced into taking trips away from campus, signed off for by his adoptive father, who is also a lawyer, teaching him how to work cases.

Killer - Currently a college freshman. Didn’t really want to go to college, and has an undeclared major. Is super socially adept and driven to find the “party scene” lifestyle. - Came to the school on a deferred sports scholarship. - Cross was the one who first introduced him to Nightmare and the others.

Dust - Currently a Junior. Didn’t interact with Nightmare at all until their Sophomore year. Horror was actually the one to introduce the two. - Currently studying to be a literature major, spending most of his time reading. He and Nightmare got along well through that, swapping book recommendations. - Roommates for the whole of the three years with Sci. Sci and Farm introduced Horror and Dust to each other.

Horror - College senior. Always assumed to be a jock due to his size, but is actually double majoring in agriculture and bioengineering. - Met Nightmare during his Sophomore year. The younger began tutoring him in math, as he has suspected Dyscalculia. - Roommates with Farm. The two met in an agriculture program and decided to room together Junior year.

Cross - Sophomore. Here on a sports scholarship that he doesn’t want. Was always pushed to be “well rounded”. Currently taking an interest in law enforcement, but considering nursing as well. - He and Nightmare had a chance first encounter, when he was a Freshman. Nightmare has a ritual of taking walks in the evening, spotted Cross practicing alone, and struck up a conversation across a chainlink fence. This ritual continues to this day. - The real voice of reason in the group when Nightmare is away, but also very much trying to let the others make good decisions for themselves and then trying to fix it for them.

Error - Currently a Junior. Nightmare’s roommate Freshman year. The two mutually agreed to stay out of each other’s way and bonded over their reclusiveness. - Changed housing when Nightmare began living off campus, getting stuck in a three person unit with Fresh and Geno. - Currently, he and Fresh take turns delivering weekly schoolwork to Geno while he’s in and out of hospital.

If you have more questions, please ask! I’m so excited to answer them. <3
