Cupid Homeworld
The Cupid Homeworld, also known simply as the Homeworld to its inhabitants, was a permament pocket dimension in which the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, who originally hailed from the Prime Universe, were based.

It had certain protections against outsiders, with Lord Thymon determining that whoever was responsible for a book suddenly materialising in the dimension must have had "some very serious metatemporal capabilities". (PROSE: Auteur's Abecedarium [+]Loading...["Auteur's Abecedarium (short story)"])

History[[edit] | [edit source]]
At some point, Lord Thymon "quit" his post as the Embodiment of Time in order to live with the Crew, subsequently becoming "mail-sorter prime" for the Post Office. (POEM: Auteur and the Homeworld [+]Loading...["Auteur and the Homeworld (poem)"])
In December 2020, a few days before Christmas, a mysterious gift in shimmering wrapping was found in the Homeworld. The Department of Problem-Solving's Carter-1277 opened it after a brief examination, revealing a large leatherbound book. Following a short debate, during which time-demon Lord Thymon and the Department of Festivities' Celebration-665 disagreed on its dangers, the book was read aloud to an audience by Celebration. It turned out to be Auteur's Abecedarium, which featured a desperate warning against Auteur interrupting the actual abecedarium. Bibliophile-962 hurriedly carried the book to a restricted area of the Cupid Archives once the reading was finished while Celebration invited everyone over to his place for cakes. (PROSE: Auteur's Abecedarium [+]Loading...["Auteur's Abecedarium (short story)"]) Bibliophile did indeed store the Abecedarium in a safe place although he forgot to inform the Archives' custodian Herodotus-724.
Two years later, Herodotus discovered the unknown book and started reading it to catalogue its contents. This act summoned Auteur to the Homeworld and he quickly fled the Archives with the aim of procuring a Fog Ship with which to return to his native Third Universe. Auteur traversed the Homeworld using the shadows of Cupids, stopping in at the Post Office to steal the keys to the Fog Ship hangar, although he was stopped by Sigma-063 who eliminated the shadows by boosting the power to the hangar's lights. Auteur then brought life to all of the fiction contained within the Archives, causing their stories to join with the Homeworld's essence as a thousand other narratives jostled with that of the Crew's. This wreaked havoc across the Homeworld as several Cupids merged with fictional characters and fictional elements such as the yellow brick road began to mix with the Homeworld's geography. From the final lasting pocket-space of non-corrupted story in the Fog Ship hangar, Auteur moved to make his escape in the final Fog Ship, promising to return to the Homeworld someday to see how his actions had warped the Crew. However, at that moment Herodotus marked the Abecedarium with his "REJECTED from collection" stamp which, in the present state of affairs where everything in the Archives became true, expelled Auteur from the Homeworld and returned everything to normal.
