Description:

After a couple thousand years of them prying, forcing him to accept the truth under a lifetime of lies to everyone and himself, cracks began to form. Metaphorical cracks where emotions banished long ago came crawling back.

Guilt. Regret. Grief.

But when his protective shell of denial, delusions, and repression crumbled and they broke down the triangle into something more self-aware, the next step of rebuilding him back didn’t go as planned. Bill might have finally admitted and felt remorse for a lot of his actions. But nothing could motivate him to try atoning for them. He didn’t see the point in trying.

Atonement was meant to correct previous wrongdoings so they weren’t hanging over them when they reincarnated. And his vague understanding was that atonement could be achieved by either undoing the consequences of his previous actions, doing some equivalent act of good for other people, or demonstrating some other expression of those feelings of remorse that were plaguing him. Except none of them seemed relevant to his situation.

Was there anything good that he could do that would equal the destruction of his entire home dimension, let alone everything that he’d done in the trillion years since?

Notes:

Originally based on 1spooky2me's very intriguing comic AU set after everything called “Fixer Upper AU,” but it has grown a bit past that.
