York's Interdimension Basket of Washes

[notyourrookie]

York is done with this. Every Wash needs a comfy, happy and most of all, not horrifying and trauma-inducing space where they can feel safe. A place where the horrors that inevitably await them in their own universes cannot intrude.

And York will provide. Even if he has to drag them across universes to do so.

'I had trouble not saying "me" when talking about the other York to begin with. Still mess up sometimes, don't worry. I know what you mean.' He's had longer to get used to it, what with Other Wash being here several months now.

'We do have some interesting conversations, and I guess we'd get more t-shance if we shared headspace and D wasn't looking after people so often. Oh, I heard about that. It was after... Carolina got the twins, right? And something went wrong. That York and Delta didn't want to be separated, I guess?'

Like hell he's talking about Carolina and hte twins.

"Delta and York... are a unified being, in a lot of ways," David says cautiously. "Bleeding into each other. It isn't bad. They like it, it's who they are, and losing that would probably kill either of them at this point."

He's focusing on the junction because it's a tricky one and he's being extra careful not to freak Wash out. Yeah.

'That sounds... I was going to say "unstable", but in a weird way, it sounds like it's the opposite.' And he can't help but wonder what it must be like.

"They stabilize each other," David answers. "Together the two of you are stronger than you are apart. I wouldn't be surprised if you do the same for each other here."

'Well I'm certainly trying to help make him stronger,' he mutters, sighing. 'I think there's only so mut-sh I can do though.' What he needs is Maine. For things to go back to how they were before, when he had someone to love and who loved him and he had better balance in his life.

"Theirs are not problems humans are meant to fathom," David says, his voice distant.

'Your AIs or my Ais?' he asks. 'Cause if it's mine, then you need to t-shange "fathom" to "face". So you probably mean yours, it wit-sh case, I bet York's trying anyway. I would.'

[churbooseanon]

"Both," David shrugs. They aren't human. They can't fit in.

[depthlesslock]

'Then yeah, "face". They've been through so much shit. In both worlds. It's not fair.

[churbooseanon]

"Fate," David pronounces somberly before closing his eyes. "Wake me when we get there."

[depthlesslock]

'Okay.' It won't be long. Maybe he'll take a longer route so Wash can sleep a bit longer. It's a good sign that he's willing to fall asleep in a car with an alternate version of his boyfriend who isn't his boyfriend.
