Right, this chapter will have some triggers, mostly swearing, drug abuse mentions, and other things.

Your all probably wondering why I mentioned that, well, if any of you have read 'Reeling in the Years' by Flagg1991, then you'll know why I have those there. I spoke to Flagg, and asked him if I could use his characters from that story, and he was cool with it. I decided to wait until the story officially ended, which it did.

The basic plot of the story is that how the Loud House turned out if it's characters lived from the late 1950's to the 21st Century, but it also portrays it in a realistic view. Flagg did an outstanding job, and I highly recommend reading it.

Besides the triggers, I would also like to let a spoiler warning for some plot details from Reeling in the Years, if you haven't read them, then skip to the next chapter.

And this version of Lincoln and Luan is how Flagg portrays them, I just did their character's the best I could.

5.7: (Reeling in the Years Universe)

This was it... this was how he was going to die. He originally thought he would meet his maker, or his dead loved ones after succumbing to his disease. But no, he was going to die on a hijacked plane that was going to crash into a building.

He would say this was mercy. It was better to die instantaneously, than die a slow horrible death in his final moments in his disease riddled body.

"Only for a little while." RITY Lincoln Loud reassured, as he held on tightly to Ronnie Anne's hand.

He held on tightly to her hand. Thinking about her, and the rest of the family as the plane hit the South Tower.

5.8: (Loud Guardian's Universe)

Lincoln Loud gasped, and felt his heart going a mile a minute. As soon as he got his breathing back to normal he surveyed his surroundings. He was in some sort of living room that was strangely familiar. And he was sitting on a couch.

What hell was going on?

The last thing he remembered was…

Shit... him and Ronnie Anne were going to die!

He was wondering where Ronnie Anne was, and where the hell he was when he heard a voice.

"L-Lincoln?"

Lincoln turned next to him. RITY Luan sat next to him, her eyes were widened in disbelief, and were brimming with tears. She covered her mouth, but Lincoln could tell she was breathing heavily.

"Luan? What's go-"

He was cut off when Luan practically tackled him into a hug.

Jeeze, Lynn, Lynn III and Maddie would be proud. Even though due to the wonders of his disease, and Chemo-Therapy, he would snap like a twig…

Wait, he felt fine, like better… as well as a man in his late 50's was feeling. But he didn't feel like he was dying.

He got out of his train of thought when he decided to hold off on that revelation, because he was comforting his very distraught sister. The kind of comfort he usually held for Ronnie Anne and the girls.

He held her as she bawled her eyes out, and she calmed down enough to start talking.

"Y-you and Ronnie Anne died. Fred and I just got into the door of Jessy and Mark's house, when we heard her scream. W-we found her crying, and she managed to explain what happened. We held your guys memorial two week later, when . God, I honestly don't want to go through that again. Holding your own daughter and niece as they cry, knowing their parents/Aunt and Uncle are dead. We later found out it was some Middle Eastern Terrorists who did it."

"Well… I'm here now. Not sure what's going on though."

Luan let's go of Lincoln, and she had stopped crying, and sniffed. "Yeah, where are we?"

"This would be the Loud Guardian Universe." A voice said.

The both of them turned around to see Hestia standing near the threshold to the kitchen.

Lincoln looked at her incredulously and said," Who the hell are you supposed to be?"

'One of the few Universes on this branch that has a more realistic version of the Loud's. Can't believe this Lincoln is more jaded, and has a stick up his behind 24/7. And also has a tragic type of ending. I always hated these types…' Hestia thought with a mental sigh.

"Please, just let me explain everything first. Then you can ask your questions." Hestia said as she walked in front of them.

Lincoln and Luan looked at each other, Luan shrugged, while Lincoln was still suspicious, and he wished he had his gun.

"Fine, go ahead. This better be good lady."

Hestia nodded, she wished she had Guardian Lincoln and Luan with her, but they had prior engagements. So she started to explain everything, from the problem, to what will happen, to why they are here, the types of Loops, and anything else that would help them.

Once she finished, she gave the two of them time to think about it. It wasn't long before Lincoln gave her his reaction.

He laughed, he laughed at the absurdity of all this. He wasn't sure this was just some weird near death experience, or he was dying in a hospital bed or before the plane hit the tower, and he was just one of those day dreams before death.

Or his entire life was a lie, and he was still a prisoner in Vietnam and had gone insane with what the Cong did to him. And he just thought up his entire life to keep himself sane.

He then stopped, wiping couple of tears from his eyes.

"That has got to be the most bullshit thing I've ever heard!"

Hestia didn't looked amused, but she was sympathetic and said," It's the truth, Mr. Loud. I also know you and this version of your family have had it hard. This mainly has to do with the fact most Loud Universes focuses on you all when your kids. And not when your adults, and have real life experiences. Just think about it, you can change things in your Loops, within reason."

Luan, who was quiet looked hopeful and said to Lincoln," Lincoln imagine, we can make some things better… like save Luna from dying, and stop myself from going to jail, and raising Jessy. And also you and Ronnie Anne won't die on 9/11."

Lincoln would've snarked again about how this was some elaborate ruse. Cause life doesn't hand you something like this. And this all sounded like something from the Comics, or Science Fiction movies he used read and watch when he was a kid. But then he started to think about what Luan just said.

He did regret not helping Luna out with her addiction more. He still thought back to when he had the Cocaine in his hand, and didn't flush it, but placed it back into Luna's bag. And Luan it was pretty self-explanatory, she missed out on raising Jessy, and also wasted part of her life in jail for the actions of her dumb, younger self.

Although a really selfish part of him thought she didn't deserve to raise her, considering he and Ronnie Anne did it, and he considered her to be his own daughter.

Not that he would ever tell Luan, cause he wasn't that heartless.

And also the fact he could cheat death again.

Ha, the Cong didn't get him, and now some Middle Eastern pricks will now get the same treatment.

Another point for Loud.

And great, now he was starting to believe in this shit. Then again, he did decide to finally let God into his life, even though it was an entirely different situation…

"Wait, you said you were a Greek Goddess, right?" Lincoln asked.

Hestia nodded, and said," Yes, and also yes, other Gods and Goddess are real as well. But there are different variations in different Universes. And yes, God is real as well."

Well fuck.

Both siblings looked troubled with this, but they both decided now was not the time for an Existential Crisis.

Lincoln sighed, knowing he would probably regret this and said, "Fine… I guess we believe you. Even I'm still thinking I've lost it, and I'm dreaming this up."

Luan shrugged and admitted, "Yeah, same for me. I've sorta had the notion I'm having some weird dream in Prison."

Hestia nodded in satisfaction and said," Good, do you have anymore questions?"

"Yeah, there isn't going to be any these Loops being weird right? Cause I will literally put metal into me if I get turned into a girl, become a Hippie, or become a Democrat or Republican."

"Well, that might happen. There are Universes where your siblings are of different genders. Just take your brother Lynn for example, he's supposed to be a girl."

Lincoln snorted and said," Well I guess once the fatass is 'awake' I'll hold that over him. Also I guess I can handle torture like that, I did survive a couple of months living with the Cong."

"So, if your saying our Universe is on a branch of the tree, does that mean ours is the main one?" Luan asked.

Hestia shook her head and said," No, this is the main branch."

She pointed her staff at the TV, and it turned into a big flat screen. It turned on, and it showed the Main Loud House Universe Loud's. Both siblings blinked at that, they recognized themselves, Lori, Leni, Luna, and they guessed Lynn, but he looked like he was a girl. They were surprised with the way they dressed, but they were confused with the other people there.

"Wait, who are the other people? The twins look extremely familiar." Lincoln said as he scratched his head.

"That would be Lola and Lana. The others are: Lucy, Lisa and Lily, and they are all your siblings."

Lincoln and Luan's jaws dropped, sure they had heard of big families, and theirs was rare at the time, but to have 11 siblings... with 10 of them being women, and only one being a boy...

"What in the hell were mom and dad thinking?" Lincoln asked.

Luan realized something and said, "Uh... if Lola is our sibling in another universe... but she's married to Bobby Jr, doesn't that make it-"

"No, because it's a different Universe, it's completely different. And yes... unfortunately there are Universes where all of you... do things to each other. But the people who look over the branch, including me, have deleted or blocked those types. It's a long and complicated process that I think you both won't be interested in understanding."

Lincoln had a feeling he probably should've been left to die on the plane. All of this was starting to hurt his head.

"But, luckily for you, there is a Loop, called a Sanctuary Loop, which allows other Looper's to relax before they go to a next one. They give good classes or Seminars, if your interested? It's optional, so you can either go there, or go to your first Loop."

"Might as well get this shit over with. We'll take the class. I should've died in Vietnam or something so I wouldn't have to deal with this shit." Lincoln grumbled.

Luan lightly slapped his arm and scolded," Don't talk like that."

Hestia snorted, and she used her staff to send them to the Equestria Loop. She then took out her communicator, dialed a number, and had it on Holographic function.

An eight-legged horse then appeared and said," Hey Hestia, what's up?"

"Hi Sleipnir, listen, I have two new Anchors coming your way, and I think Twilight needs a heads up."

5.9:(Reeling in the Years Universe)

RITY Lincoln Loud blinked at as he woke up, for some reason, everything felt strange. Maybe it was because Ronnie Anne wasn't in bed with him. He must've slept in, now that was a rarity all of its own nowadays. He then heard slight snoring, which didn't sound like Ronnie Anne's, and his Boot Camp training kicked in.

He was ready to kill whoever was in the room with him, when he froze.

His brother Lynn was sleeping, in his bed, looking like he was a Teenager, as in the bed he used to sleep in when they used to share a room back in their old home in Franklin Avenue. Now that he looked around the room, it was his or their old bedroom.

He thought he was having some realistic nightmare or dream, but then his memories kicked in and it all came back to him.

"Oh, my God." He whispered.

He got out of bed, he looked himself over, and in the mirror that was on their dresser. He was 11 years old again! His nose wasn't crooked, he had his cow-lick again, and he didn't have any wrinkles. He then ran out into the hallway, but he stopped when he saw Luan out in the hall, having a shell shocked look. She was back to be being 14 years old.

She looked at his direction, and her face went pale.

As if life, Hestia or whomever was in charge, was messing with them. Both the bathroom door and the door to Lori and Leni's room opened. And both Luna and Leni came out of the respective rooms. The same Luna and Leni who was supposed to be dead from a Drug Overdose, and from her Degenerative Brain Disease, respectively.

Luna noticed their looks and said," Are you guys alright?"

Luan's response was to let out a high pitched scream that would wake the dead, or maybe Alex, and then faint on the spot.

Other doors in the house opened, and he then saw Lynn and Lori come out of their rooms. Lincoln then heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and got a lump in his throat when he saw his mom and dad come up the stairs, and looked around. RITY Lynn Sr wore his work clothes, and RITY Rita was already dressed for the day.

Rita saw Luan and said," Oh my goodness! What happened?"

Luna knelt beside her sister and said," I don't know, she just had some weird look, she screamed, and fainted."

As the others went to check on Luan, Lincoln sniffed as he wiped a tear from his face. He wasn't the crying type, nor had he ever gotten this emotional before. But now he was.

Looks like this was all real, and this entire Loop situation was real as well.

Life was now more interesting than before.

And he was going to damn well make the most of it.

So, tell me what you all think.

Also, I might just do other OC Loud House characters from author's in the future. Just need to ask for their permissions though.

And also, make sure to check out Reeling in the Years, it's really good.
