Hey everyone, so, the reason why I've been gone is because of school, and it needed a lot of my attention. But I'm on Christmas break, and have some time to write.
So, this chapter I'm bringing in another Loud House story into the fold. This one is called 'Loud House: A Family Together' by Mr. ChubbySnorlax619. The basic plot of this story is that Lincoln is the oldest, and he ran away when he was eleven, due to thinking it would help his family, because of financial troubles. But due to a tragedy, Lincoln returns into his families life, and has to amend his relationships with his family.
The story isn't complete, and I asked Snorlax for permission back in late 2019, and they said yes. And it took me this long to finally incorporate this into Loud Loops. And Snorlax, if your reading this, I still have the conversation we have in my PM's, and I asked for permission back in December 30, 2019 and you responded back in January 7, 2020 with a yes. Just in case you forgot.
I did the best I could to get AFT Lincoln and Lori personalities down, so I hope you all like it.
I own none of the content, and please enjoy.
13.8 (Loud House: A Family Together Universe)
AFT Lincoln sat in Vanzilla, with AFT Lola and AFT Lana sitting on either side of him. It was the day of the family's road trip, and he hoped things would go well.
It had been a couple of weeks since he came back, and life with his family had been… okay to say the least.
He had come back to not five but now ten sisters, with the first five he had originally grown up and helped take care of missed him, asked him why he left and being happy he was back.
He had gotten a pretty good handle on his new five sisters, and he had promised himself that he would look after them, and take care of them. Something he hoped he would atone for the crappy way he left everyone all those years ago. The younger ones were mainly curious or happy that he was here.
The jury was still out for AFT Lori, and he would've added AFT Luna, but after the talk they had, things were better between them. There's was still some issues, but they were better.
And that left only AFT Lori, he wasn't exactly sure how he was going to approach her, hopefully with something protecting his crotch, if she decided to kick him again. He also knew she would rather speak to anyone but him, but they were going to have to talk to each other sometime.
Preferably after the trip, but knowing his life, and how things have been going lately, they were bound to make a collision course soon, and AFT Lincoln hoped things would be better between them.
13.9 (Loud Guardian Universe)
AFT Lincoln blinked as he found himself in what he assumed was his living room. Which was odd, cause the last thing he remembered was that he was in Vanzilla with everyone else, and they were just leaving for their trip.
"What the?" A voice said.
AFT Lincoln looked next to him, and saw that AFT Lori was sitting next to him, looking just as confused as he was.
As soon as she noticed him, she gave him a worried and slightly scared look. The kind he remembered when she came to his room at night after having a nightmare, or if she was scared in general, and wanted to be with her big brother.
AFT Lincoln would've felt nostalgic, but he was currently wondering what the hell was going on.
"Oh good, your awake."
The both them looked in front of them, and were met by a woman in elegant, or old clothing.
"Who the hell are you? And what the hell is going on?" AFT Lincoln asked as he got up, and stood in front of AFT Lori, and held a defensive stance, waiting for anything.
He didn't notice the surprised look, and the momentary smile AFT Lori had, that had then went back to slight annoyance and fear.
The woman gave him a placating look, and stance and said, "It's alright, I'm a friend, Mr. Loud. My name is Hestia; you may know me from Greek Mythology. I am the Admin for your branch of the Multiverse."
"The what now?" AFT Lincoln asked, wondering if he heard her correctly.
"Sit down, please. Let me explain." Hestia said, and Lincoln sat down.
Hestia explained it like she did numerous times with other Loud House Universes from the branch. Once she finished, she gave both siblings some time, she knew that this Lincoln would have an open mind, due what he gone through in that one weird town. While for this version of Lori…
"Are you literally kidding me right now?" AFT Lori bluntly said, with narrowed eyes.
AFT Lincoln thought otherwise, and mumbled," Huh, and I thought dealing with Weirdmageddon was the craziest thing I would have to deal with."
Oddly enough, it brought a wave of nostalgia, even though it still hurt a little about a certain redhead, and how he had to let her go.
It was for the best, Wendy had a future, and he didn't know if he had one. And he didn't want to drag her into anything, so he broke it off. At least they remained friends.
And he also flinched involuntarily, due to the law Gravity Falls had about even mentioning what had happened at the end of the summer.
Blubs and Durland had way too much fun with those tasers. He found that out the hard way after he decided to test the law, and ended getting tased until Wendy and the twins stopped them.
AFT Lori chose to ignore whatever the hell her so called brother was saying, and said to Hestia," And why should I literally believe this? How do I know your not one of his shady friends, who drugged me. And is trying to help this bastard mend our relationship?"
AFT Lincoln blinked at the question, he would found it amusing, but he was more surprised that she had come to that conclusion.
Okay, sure he had met some interesting people while on the road, including Suki's father, but he didn't do anything shady. Not counting pickpocketing, that was a necessity to survive on the streets. And he wouldn't ask the people he met on the road do anything like what Lori had just said.
AFT Lincoln sighed, and said," Lori, I can assure you that none of this was my doing. And we should hear what she has to say."
He winced when AFT Lori gave him a withering look, and said," And why should I listen to you, you bast-"
"Is the cursing literally necessary?"
Both siblings looked towards the voice, and their jaws dropped, when they saw Guardian Lori. Who had a raised eyebrow, and a frown on her face, which looked like how a parent would if they were mad.
AFT Lori picked up her jaw, looked at Hestia, and said," Sorry, please literally continue."
Guardian Lori gave Hestia a smirk, and said," Gotta remember to lead with one of us being with you."
"Noted."
Guardian Lori looked at the two siblings, and said," Now, that you heard the usual spiel, about the Loops. And before we send you off… you gotta tell her." She said the last part to Lincoln, who also gave him a sympathetic look.
AFT Lori raised a brow, and looked at her brother, who had a look of someone not wanting to be there.
And both pain and sorrow. She knew that look well, when everyone first found out Lincoln was gone, to the days, months, and then years that they hoped he would return, but didn't. And wondering if he left voluntarily or not, and wondering if she and her sisters were the cause of it. But his was different.
Hestia sighed, placed a comforting hand on Lincoln's shoulder, and said," I understand your pain. But, in order for you and Lori to mend your relationship, you have to tell her. And… I know this may sound kinda mean but, remember, you can save them with the Loops."
ATF Lincoln remembered what the Admin said about the Loops, and he would've been made at her for using his main regret to open up to Lori, but it made sense.
Not a day went by that he didn't miss Suki and Liberty. And he couldn't believe he was saying this, but through the Loops, he could probably beat the jackass who killed them, due to his drunk driving. Even though he blamed himself, and wasn't looking correctly. He knew it was a horrible idea to take someone's life, one that he knew he would never do. But if he could find a way to spend more time with them, and to hopefully meet his family.
Then he would take it.
ATF Lincoln sighed, nodded, and looked at ATF Lori, who was both curious, and worried. He had discretely noticed both Hestia and Guardian Lori were gone, which was good, because he needed some privacy.
"Lori… I'm going to tell you some of the important events after I left… including my wife and daughter."
So, AFT Lincoln told her sister everything, like he did with ATF Lucy, Luna, and Lynn. From Chris and the gang, Gravity Falls (summary version), Eddie and wrestling, meeting Suki and falling in love with her. Getting engaged to her, having Liberty, their deaths, Pop-Pop finding him, and making him see reason, and then returning home to everyone.
By the time he was finished, he wiped a couple of tears from his eyes, and gave himself a moment compose himself. When he looked at Lori, his heart went out to her.
She had a look of pure shock and sorrow, and she was openly crying. He did the one thing he knew what to do, and he hugged her.
She ended up sobbing into his chest, and he did shed a couple of tears.
"I-I'm sorry! I'm been such a bitch t-to you. Even though you're hurting worse." She managed to say through her sobs.
"I deserve it. I'm a horrible brother." ATF Lincoln remorsefully said.
And it was truth, and he planned on fixing everything, and be a good brother to his siblings, and his new siblings.
ATF Lori looked at him, and she wiped her tears, and said," Yes, but that's not the point. You went through all of that, and lost your fiancé and… your daughter. My and the others niece, mom and dad's first grandchild."
She felt horrible now, treating him like trash, even though it was justified, but with all he went through, and losing the ones he loved. It felt like her problems was insignificant compared to his.
"Lori, I deserve all the verbal abuse you gave me. If it means to help mend our relationship, then I'll take whatever you throw at me… except for another kick in the family jewels. And… it hurts, it really does. If I could've done something different, Suki and Liberty would still be alive, and you and the others would've met them. Or if I had just stayed, and be with you all. But, I know you can't forgive me just yet, but, let's restart, and go from there. Cause let's face this, this whole Loop shit seems way more problematic than our problems right now." Lincoln bitterly said the last part with humorless chuckle.
Lori giggled, despite the situation. She was quiet for a moment, and then said," I can't forgive you just yet. You can't understand the pain, and how hard it was after you left. I just can't yet. But, I'll give you a chance. Although I'm pretty sure the Loops would literally complicate things. But, right now, I hate you less."
Lincoln grinned at her, it was a start, but it was something.
He gave her a hug, and said," Thank you, Princess."
14.0: (Loud House: A Family Together Universe)
ATF Lincoln blinked, looked around, and saw that he was in his room.
That was one strange dream he had, very realistic and somehow cool and depressing. If that was how his subconscious was trying to help him with mending his relationship with his family, then it was both the weirdest, and slightly helpful dream he ever had.
He should probably get back to sleep, with the trip and all.
Before he could do that, his door opened, and he turned around to see who it was.
He had to do a double take, because he saw Lori, not the current 17 year old Lori, but the 8 year old Lori. The one he left when he was only 11. He looked at himself in his bedroom mirror, and he saw his 11 year old self.
"Okay, I guess it wasn't a dream." He stated, as he looked at his sister.
"No, it wasn't." Was all ATF Lori said.
ATF Lori then sniffed, with tears forming in her eyes, and she ran to her brother, and hugged him. ATF Lincoln hugged her back, as she cried.
"I promise I'll do whatever I can to fix things. I'm sorry." ATF Lincoln promised.
ATF Lori's only response was nod into her brothers arms.
Thing may be different now, but a brighter future was coming.
ATF Lincoln would make sure of that.
And there you have it. I hope you guys like it, and please tell me how I did.
Till next time.
