I realized we know the least about the river person in ya au.
Care to remedy that?
Well to be honest.. not a whole lot has changed about her. I keep forgetting she exists and I don't have a lot of ideas for how she could interact with the group..
Though speaking of her, recently I tried to dig into her character a little more and I started by making a redesign for her. Although its only the first pass and Isn't official yet-
Tumblr media
And despite my attempts, for now her story and character is still relatively the same..
She was just a lonely boat keeper. She would come home from her shifts to a gloomy house where no one was waiting for her. No family, no friends.. no pets or hobbies.. she didn't really have anything going on except for running the boat. And to be honest.. she was kind'a okay with that in a way. She just accepted that this was her life, and this is how she lives. And its not like she had no joy in her life. Her joy came from running the boat.
She would take all kinds of people down the river, and they would talk to her. They would tell her wonderful things. The children would talk about their hopes and dreams. What they wanted to be when they grew up.. what their favorite food was. They'd tell her about that crazy looking frog they saw on the way here.
The elderly would tell her stories of all the places they'd been and all the things they'd seen. And even if they didn't talk to her directly.. she still overheard some interesting conversations. The young couples would talk about what they were planning on naming their first child. They would talk about what they wanted their house to look like and how many pets they wanted to have.
And sometimes the people on the boat didn't talk at all. Sometimes they looked sad and wouldn't look up from their feet.. So she would sing to them. And when they got off she would tell them "I hope you're day gets better. I enjoyed your company." And the few times she got a smile back made it all worth it.
She put her value of herself and her life on the people around her. Transporting people from point A to point B and occasionally cheering people up.. was all the worth she really felt she had..
But then Jevil and his group came along for a boat ride. Half way down the river Jevil breaks out in a cold sweat and starts to shake. Somethings wrong.
"This world is about to end." The group perks up "What?"
Grabbing Seams sleeve beside him he says louder and frantically "THIS WORLD IS ENDING"
Jevil jumps up and makes a mirror below the water large enough to swallow the boat whole.
As they fall through the mirror, horrible soul breaking sounds can be heard as that timeline collapses in on itself.
The boat probably landed in a snowdin somewhere.. or maybe another waterfall? Or maybe in a dark world.. where ever it landed, Jevil was looking the group over when he saw River Person..
"Where.. am I?"
He had done it again. Ripped someone out of its AU just as it was dying...
I intended for River person to have some kind of survivors guilt. Thinking her life had no real value and that anyone else in her AU deserved to have been saved in her place. Almost the opposite of Grillby.
Grillby hates Jevil becuase he valued his life and lost everything he held dear.. River Person doesn't hate Jevil for saving her at all. She's not sad about losing her life becuase she never really had one.. She's just grieving for all those people who died and wishes any of them could have been saved in her place.
The guilt really eats her up inside..

Since Killer canonically steals and bargains for other people’s souls in order to do research on them, I Hc that he tries to talk to them while he does.
It’s an attempt to keep them calm, because he knows what it’s like to have someone messing around with your soul against your will and not being able to stop them.
If I remember right, only human souls persist after death. I think Boss monsters might as well, or at least stay around longer.
With monster souls at least, since they’re souls of AUs of people he’s known, maybe he talks to them like they’re actually the same people from his timeline. His Papyrus, his Toriel, his Grillby.
It doesn’t work to calm the souls most times, of course. And Killer doesn’t really apologize for doing it, just explains why he’s doing it.
Why he needs their souls, how they’re connected to their codes. How his own soul and codes have been changed to the point they aren’t recognizable anymore. (Even if he doesn’t go into details.)
How his soul can and has been used against him, to control him. How he doesn’t fully understand what even happened to him. How he’s attempting to fix and understand it—himself—so he won’t be used as a tool for someone else’s bad intentions.
A lot of the souls don’t want to hear logical things while they’re actively dying, least of all from the person who killed them. But STAGE 2 can’t really offer emotional comfort or reassurance, nor does he see the point in it.
Justice souls probably dislike him furiously. But kindness souls are probably enough to make a grown man cry, the way they’re still kind and understanding despite it all.
Determination souls..the ones Killer has to study the most. He despises them. He’d rather they all just die painfully.
I don’t think he talks or explains himself to them. Maybe he assumes they already have an idea why.
Either way, despite the violent urges he always gets while holding Determination in his hands, he resists. Tearing their souls to shreds wouldn’t benefit him.
Instead, he settles for their fear in his hands; knowing they can sense exactly he wants to do to them. Savors it even.
He disposes of them swiftly as soon as their use is up and he no longer needs them.
After disposing of a Determination soul, though, he probably has to go somewhere to release all that pent up anger and—although he won’t admit to himself—fear.
Probably the training room in Nightmare’s castle. If this is a Bad Sans AU, he probably drags his partner—Cross (& XChara, although he’s usually just along for the ride)—to the training room for some sparring.
And he can handle it if Killer gets a little too..aggressive.
Cross (and by extension, XChara) are probably the only people he tells about his illegal soul research in Nightmare’s basement. He has no clue if Nightmare knows or not, but Killer hasn’t told him and Nightmare hasn’t confronted him yet.
Given Cross’ own situation with his own soul, Killer assumes he might be able to understand in a way the Boss, Horror and Dust can’t.
And while Killer’s raving on and on about all the things he wanted to do to DT souls, XChara’s just insulting him and calling him insane/crazy the entire time; knowing Killer can’t hear him.
Maybe X is a little creeped out, given what his own soul is. And it’s also just how X is. But hopefully he trusts Killer enough to believe he won’t decide to do any of those things he’s talking about to XChara’s soul.
Maybe even a little scared, given what XGaster did to his soul.

AU Idea #2
| HorrificShift |
Unlike HorrorShift which is
StoryShift but Horrortale.
HorrificShift would be like
Horrortale but StoryShift.
Horrific instead of Horror, less Horror and just Horrific, while Shift actually makes sense and isn’t just a “Swap” as the story and character roles are more shifted than swapped.
Short-Basic explanations;
(1) Frisk would be the protagonist.
(2) Aliza would take StoryShift Chara’s role
(3) Flowey would still be Flowey taking in StoryShift Asirel’s role.
(4) Sans would take Horror Undyne’s role and the ruler of the underground and the main antagonist.
(5) Undyne would take Horror’s Sans’s role
(6) Papyrus would still be caretaker of the ruins (in a way)
(7) Toriel will take Papyrus’s role as the random social anarchist that wants to take Sans’s rule despite their difference in power and social influence.
(8) Alphys and Asgore are long gone.
(9) Clover is the reason why the underground is more of a mess even if they fallen into Sans’s hands despite their genocidal actions against monsterkind that only strengthened Sans’s social influence more.
(10) Chara is still the first fallen human while Aliza is the second.
(11) Chara straight up died from the fall and their soul was imediately taken in by Sans who was watering the flower bed.
(12) It’s 8 human souls, no human eating except the corpses of the 5 humans that fell.
(13) Asirel died and became Flowey during the war
(14) Grillby is the Royal Scientist after Gaster and Alphys.
(15) Fill in the blanks as I go along for the long-story explanations.
Long-story explanation
Aliza
Aliza fell into the underground, met up with a seemingly gleeful yet withered talking one-eyed flower, and while walking through the ruins, she was taken in as a prisoner by Papyrus by surprise and taken all the way into Sans’s palace, which she then was imprisoned instead of dying to Sans’s hand, due to Papyrus’s commands to Sans and Aliza’s fearful cries and pleas, still, even when temporarily spared, there was much to worry about the first human falling here and a hopeful way of getting out using other souls, however Aliza, the 2nd human. was mercifully let go from good behavior and even life-threatening sacrifices they made that shocked many others, they were also granted citizenship into the underground by Sans. Instead of taking her soul for the underground, Sans saw promise in Aliza and her potential to capture other humans because of her seemingly loyal and scared nature Sans found amusement in.
She was let go of all charges but was forced to comply to the capturing of other humans. Before that, she decided to live a little, getting some new clothes suggested by Flowey who thought it looked “awesome” and “super cool” with a sigh and a smile she bought new equipment to start off her journey,
After that, many human souls were captured for Sans’s irresponsible yet obviously manipulatively playful plan of freeing all monster kind. Aliza was sacred and damage and barley getting by from Flowey’s scraps he found (not even getting payed mind you)
But now.
it was time that they met Frisk,
In a Pacifst route, Frisk will have to fight her, but after many respawns, she gives up realizing Frisk is the first human she knows that has determination despite being scared out of her mind of the consequences of not capturing the human she spares you, after sparing Aliza, Aliza would go into hiding with Flowey making sure no one rats her out and she gets caught for not capturing the human only to probably be beheaded by Sans. Howeever you can find Aliza, and when you find Aliza you can talk to her and get some lore and nice moments with Aliza about her situation, life, Sans, the residents, rules, etc. You can talk to her at any time in the story and whenever a main story situation happens you can get new info from her about it.
In Genocide she sees the genocide and decides to help but after seeing some monsters she actually somewhat cared about begging for mercy, she steps in realizing that both sides are in the wrong in this war, and with her final breath after going all out in a grueling fight giving it her all, her last words are “I hope you still make the right decision.. no one should deserve this, should they?…please…tell me..” (This of course happens if you are quick enough before Aliza realizes your basically immortal and flees away to survive another day)
Personality
She can be very fearful because of Sans’s rule over her, but when she isn’t scared she can be extremely too chill for her own good, juggling forks around with just a few fingers and doing knife tricks with a literal butter knife whenever she’s bored and can make corny wholesome words of comfort and encouragement whenever she can.
Stats
Similar to Storyshift except her Hp and Def are lower while her Atk and speed are much higher.
Equipment
She would wear simple purple dress that resembles her old one but with a added hood and pockets. (that would later get more worn, ripped, and tattered after every human capture) And for her main weapon of choice, It would be sycthe half her own height. After some Royal Guard training and special lessons in human abilities including her own, she was finally prepared.
In battle she would use her Sycthe, some different design of blasters made by Sans for her to use, limited telekinesis that makes her eye glow purple from under the hood she usually has on. And maybe some modified utensils and spikes as some basic weapons used during her battle.
Frisk
Unlike in Undertale, Frisk is pretty much entering the underground willfully out of much talk in their home town and found it interesting.
In Pacifist, Sans takes the human souls in one last showdown but after beating him and sparing him, he is conflicted on why you’re sparing him, but despite this Frisk takes the human souls, after seeing the humanity still left in these monsters, they took it upon themselves to take every human soul and break the barrier themselves. But warns Sans that if he harms humanity, humanity will harm back and won’t be merciful.
In Genocide, Chara is revived (in a way) like in Undertale, and the usual genocide stuff happens just like in Undertale.
Personality
-.-
Stats
Normal
Equipment
Their appearance is somewhat the same but instead of two stripes it’s one, colors are more faded, the blue looking more grey and the purple stripand their pants down to their shoes are black with fingerless black gloves meant for heavy duty, and a utility belt that gives them/you the player, more storage for items.
Sans
During the war many had fallen, including Asgore in battle, and Alphys by an invasion in a secret human laboratory they took control of at the time. Before Asgore fell, Undyne and Sans had a argument while hiding out during a mission, they argued about the war and why he is forced to fight out there, Undyne (who is more cruel in this version from stress of the war and loss of Alphys) filled with anger shot at Sans with a spear, nearly killing him and leaving him for dead. Saying to him “If you’re too weak to fight you’re as useful and strong as a dead body! Coward..” After that, Undyne finishes the mission and falsely states that Sans had died bravely in battle with Papyrus in disbelief (No pun intended) However after one last stand and a sorrowful sacrifice from Asgore in battle, Papyrus had evacuated everyone. With a dead king everyone picks who should be leader, Toriel declines stating she isnt prepared for this role yet even if she has to but Undyne charged foward to state that she’s strong enough to be the leader but was immediately interrupted by a manical laughter that filled the storage room full of soldiers with dread as the spear is still in his head, with a shocked Undyne, Sans says “You’re right Undyne, I was a coward…but you, you still are. And I ….I just held back..”
Of course, after much discussion Sans, with less than a fraction of hp left becomes the king of the underground
“I’ll keep your stick..fish. Heheh.. it suits the new me quite well.. I haven’t actually realized how much I could do…”
After being healed he still has the crack on his head and the spear now somewhat submerged to his head while blood still remains there both the blood and spear and crack as a reminder to himself everyday on what he should’ve done long ago and what he should do now.
Undyne was hunted down for treason and hides away, even when all the monsters were sealed she kept a good disguise on while using human technology to modify her voice.
Sans in this AU is both StoryShift Sans and Horrortale Sans equally, he doesn’t care much for the monsters anymore until he’s reminded of his brother, then he goes in circles about what he’s doing if it’s right or wrong, then a mental snap kicks in and his sick plan of how he enjoys life and frees monster kind while a nice human meal comes in every blue moon. Continues foward.
In the Pacifist route, he is remorseful and watchful of Frisk and humanity, allowing monsters to breathe and find freedom in the surface again, and once he meets Papyrus again, it all starts to put together pieces of a puzzle once broken.
In the Genocide route he goes all out using everything against you and having two main weapons, a spear and a bone spike that changes color, and even in death threatens, warns , makes fun of Frisk every chance he gets until his last moments.
[One important thing to note, while staying alive from Undyne’s attack, he slowly and silently woke up to a human soldier who was checking the area he was still in, Sans kills them in desperation and tested a theory his almost forgotten pal G once had and absorbed half their soul, letting the other half shatter, this soul was a soul called Perseverance that had minor amounts of Determination. Since the story is shifted, I’ll shift it in a way that it takes like probably 10+ human souls more or less to make a monster into a almost unstoppable being instead of just 1, thus also why Sans is strong enough to be the lead role of the underground in complete and almost dictatorship since no one knew they could absorb souls except him and G.]
Personality
Twisted, messed up in the head quite literally, Sickening, disturbing, kinda evil kinda broken inside and outside, very causal about almost everything. Very threatening and scary in power and demeanor and voice. Also very careless and reckless which led to the sealing of the underground still happen. Likes to be imposing as much as possible, but when that doesn’t work he threatens and pretty much tries every tactic in the book until you spare him enough.
Stats
Atleast twice more in stamina making the fight be atleast 2x longer than normal Sans.
Hp is 1.5 or 2. Atk and Def atleast 10x stronger from free time training and the human soul he still has absorbed until the Pacifst route.
Equipment
Sans wears more refined clothes than his StoryShift counterpart while also having some dried blood on his clothes that cant be washed away anymore. His cracked injury that he keeps substained as a reminder, the spear on his eye and the disturbing damaged look on his face.
In the fight he rips off the spear using his right hand which then starts the usual Asgore fight. In which he bleeds from his injury; from the eye to the teeth. This is also why he lost 0.5 of his 2 hp In the fight. In battle, he uses a wide variety of bones, normal, sharp, all having dried blood on it, there would also be blue and orange bones, and a cracked bone which can be destroyed without taking any damage. He uses the spear he ripped out of his eye socket with his right hand and sometimes used a bone spike on his right hand that he would occasionally throw at you/Frisk. Also of course gaster blasters that look like normal Gaster blasters except a few modifications to them.
He will also use determination and perseverance related abilities in battle but this happens every rare chance and it’s usually one attack.
Undyne
Lone puppy in a wolf’s fur taken almost literally. Wears nice robes that suits her character while also mysterious, new gaunlets and boots, anything that covers her skin and nice skull looking mask that can be switched for a more stealthy dollish rabbit looking one.
Changed her spears into energy swords that resemble a Falchion.
Personality
Very reserved, somewhat bitter and resentful, angry, emotional in her alone time, very bold and harsh even when disguised. She spends a lot of time alone and really likes punching rocks, trains a lot on her own.
Stats
Atleast 0.5X stronger and higher than normal.
Tumblr media
For anyone who finished reading this incredibly long AU I came up with thanks.
I seriously do not know how to give thanks for this but thanks, it would be a surprise if anyone genuinely reads through this let alone thinks this is a good AU idea and if I made a good story out of it. ☕️🤍
I could write more and go on and on explaining every lore detail but this already a google document too long haha.
Let me know if you have any questions about it or anything. (That’s if anyone even sees this)
[Got the Sans sprite from a google image search, it’s not mine but can give a good idea on how a HorrificShift Sans would look like, good sprite made by the person who made it though, credit to them plz.]

Aurous!Tale-UndertaleAU
The au is in the underground, and frisk has taken longer then he was supposed to take to get out of the underground. But, before he had fallen into the underground, some sort of gold dust fell into the underground, infecting the whole underground. The water supply, food supply, and it changed everyone’s appearances, personalities, and looks.
Everyone also has new names!:
Example: Regular name - new name
Frisk - Eli
Sans - Gold
Papyrus - Mellow
Toriel - Auburn
Flowey - Butter cup
(If you were here when Auroustale was called goldtale and you read this before I updated this, you know what happened here)
I haven’t thought of the rest yet, but when they appear in the comic, I will think of them, and if you want me to give a certain character a name, ask!
Looks/Personality’s!:
Eli, (frisk) is a boy in the au! Instead of a blue and pink shirt, he has a blue and yellow shirt. He like hanging out with sans and papyrus, (mostly papyrus) he’s mostly chill, and hasn’t fought anyone yet.
Gold, (Sans) is still pretty lazy when it comes to having to do work, but if papyrus tells him to do something, he will probably do it even if he doesn’t want to. Unless its to pick up his sock He has a yellow hoodie, and a blue shirt. He is a lot nicer then classic sans, and he does not threaten people (unless they are hurting someone) he uh, still goes to grillbys a lot, but it’s mostly cause he is so used to going there all the time it feels weird not going. Totally not for another reason.
(I also have his themes here! They aren’t permanent)
Mellow, (Papyrus) swap all the red on him for yellow and boom there you have it- jk, He knows how to cook! Toriel has been giving him lessons, and undyne has also gotten a bit calmer with her cooking aswell. He likes spending time with the human and his brother, the three of them have even made a snow house for flowey near their house, but he doesn’t use it, because he stays with Toriel.
Auburn, (Toriel) She opened the ruins door, and now everyone can go in and out, but it’s mostly to visit her, Sans is the one who goes the most, but it’s just to tell puns and jokes to each other, she is a lot more happy now since she can go all over the underground now. Her and Asgore are in the process is getting back together! Flowey lives with her, and Toriel likes the company, she also wears yellow like everyone else!
Buttercup, (Flowey) he has changed a lot. His stem is black, and his petals are yellow. He looks way different. He has some sort of soul that frisk apparently found for him, so he can feel happiness, excitement, and embarrassment, but he can’t feel anger or sadness, which- gets pretty awkward when he has to fake being sad because something sad happened…he usually has to burrow away so they don’t see him- well- not sad but everyone now knows it’s not his fault, and he hangs out with- well frisk does not hate him but they don’t really hang out. So he hangs out with papyrus and sans when frisk is gone. (Sans won’t let Papyrus stay alone with Flowey…for some reason…)
Be sure to keep reading this, I will be adding more information as the comic progresses, and if you guys send asks about Auroustale >:D

FictiveTale Introduction and Chapter 1
We have in our system a running joke about developing a fictive of Grillby, and we thought it would be fun to make an AU for Undertale where all the characters are fictives of characters in the game. 
Warning for heavy use of swearing, and if you’re not into sansby (Sans/Grillby), this AU is not for you.
Italic is Devan, Bold is Kate, and Strikethrough is Grillby.
Pronouns: 
Sans (Classic) - They/Them
Devan (Alter in the system Grilby is in) - It/Its
Kate (Alter in the system Grilby is in) - She/They
Grillby (Classic) - He/Him
Froggit (Underfell) - They/It. 
Toriel (Classic) - She/Her
Undyne (Underswap) - She/Her
Mettaton (Classic) - They/Them.
Chapter 1 under the cut.
🎥 & 🕹
Grillby turned the box over in his hands. 
Are you sure you want to do that, dude?
Devan! Shhh! He's fronting. Let him make his choices.
Shush, Kate. I'm just saying Grillby don't know nothing about dying hair.
Well, I'm sure Grillby can ask Sans if he does need help.
"Yeah, Kate's right. I can ask them for help if I need it, but I think I can manage on my own for now."
Alright, dude, but I'll be checkin' in on you.
"Okay, Devan." 
It felt like no time had passed when he heard Devan's voice again. 
How's it-yooooo that looks so cool! And here I was worried it would come out awful, and you'd have to go to Sans to fix it.
Devan!
I said it looked cool, Kate!
"Should we go show Sans?"
Uh, yeah? Come on, dude; they'll love it!
Yeah, and you guys will match now!
What do ya mean, Kate?
Sans has theirs as white to match their source, and now Grillby has orange to match his source.
Oooooh, yeah! You guys do match! Now you def have to show them!
"Alright, alright, we can go visit them."
Hell yeah!
Language.
Let's go...
Thank you.
Grillby shook his head and started to head towards the door. 
Dude, it's kinda cold old.
It's right. You should grab a jacket.
"Right." He grabbed a light jacket and quickly put it on. "Now, let's go see Sans." He started to head out. 
"Hi, Grillby!"
His head turned to the kid crouching on the ground. "Hello, Froggit."
"Hehe, hiiii, how's your boyfriend?"
Grillby sighed. "For the millionth time, Froggit, Sans is not my boyfriend."
You wish they were.
Devan!
"Well, are you gonna see them?"
"Yes, would you like to join us?"
They hopped, or rather, attempted to hop. It quickly fell and landed on their face.
They should stop trying to do that.
For once, you and I can agree, Kate.
"I would love to join you!"
"Then follow along, Froggit." Grillby smiled and started to head to Sans'. 
"Okay!" Froggit followed behind. "What do you think we'll do today?"
"I'm not sure. Sans is full of surprises."
Froggit laughed. "Yeah, they are."
Grillby knocked on the front door. "It's Grillby."
"And Froggit!"
He playfully sighed. "And Froggit."
The white-haired teen opened the door. "Yo, Grillby, bro! And my little man Froggit. Get in." They moved out of the way. "I have the funniest plan for today. The others are already here, so we can head out soon." They led the two towards the parlor.
"What are we doing today?" Froggit hopped closer.
Sans grabbed their fluffy coat. "You'll see. Okay, everyone, let's go! Follow me." They headed out the door, and the others quickly followed.
"I-I'm not sure about t-this, Sans." 
They patted the questioning friend's shoulder. "Don't worry, Undyne. You don't even know where we're going yet."
She sighed. "That's why I'm nervous."
Grillby moved towards them. "Sans wouldn't put us in danger, Undyne." 
She laughed. "Yeah, your right. They wouldn't hurt a fly. Anyone would be lucky to get with them." 
Sans laughed. "Eh, that's far from true."
"No, it's not, right, Grillby?" She winked towards him.
Ooooh, shit, she knows!
Everyone knows, Devan. Grillby isn't very subtle about it.
Grillby felt his face heat. "R-Right! Anyone would be more than lucky to get with someone as awesome as you."
And as pretty, and as handsome, and as beautiful, and as perfect, an-
Grillby, you're inner world monologing.
Ah, shit, thanks, Kate.
Sans laughed. "You're too nice to me, Grilbz." They stopped. "Here we are."
"U-Um...I don't understand, Sans." They turned their head towards Toriel. "It's a mo-oh, haha! The joke is that we should climb it!"
They smiled. "Yep, today's adventure is climbing a mountain." They started climbing up the base. "You guys up for it?"
No one seemed to move.
I will. 
Really, Grillby? I know you like them, but this could be dangerous.
Devan is right.
"I'll go with you!" Grillby stepped forward and started to climb with them. 
The others started to follow.
"It sounds fun!" Grillby felt a pink-covered arm wrap around his neck. "At the very least, we can film a video or two."
"Yeah, Mettaton." He removed their arm from his neck. "That's the spirit."
He hurried to try to catch up with Sans.
"Puppy love much?" Mettaton moved closer to him. 
Play dumb, Grillby.
I have to agree with Devan here.
"What's 'puppy love,' Mettaton?"
At least that sounds believable.
Thankfully, Kate.
"You don't know?" Grillby shook his head. "It's like...when you're tiny and think that the little kid that sits next to you is the entire world without even really knowing them, except with you two, you're best friends, and...wait, are you out to them yet?"
"I'd rather not talk about this..."
"Wait, wait, wait, you mean you told me before you told your literal best friend? Wow, Grillby, you must really be in love with them then."
"I'm not in love with them."
"Not in love with who?" 
Grillby shuttered as he heard Sans speak. "What?"
They moved closer. "Who is it that Mettaton thinks you're in love with, but you're not?"
SHIT.
Please tell me we're not coming out this way.
Fuck no, Kate.
"Just a girl from school."
Nice save, dude.
Thanks, Devan.
"Oh, yeah?" They leaned closer. "Come on, I'm your best friend. You can tell me who it is."
No, you can't.
Fuck no.
"Maybe later. It would change a lot of things if I told you right now."
"Oh? Well," Sans placed a hand on his arm. "I'll always be here for you, okay? Don't rush it, and hey, if you don't ever feel ready to tell me, nothing wrong with that either. I just want to see my best friend happy with the right girl, yeah?"
Ewww, girls. 
Hey! 
I'm just joking, Kate!
I know you mean romantically, Devan. Don't worry, I feel the same with boys.
Yeah, but they're strong and stuff.
Girls can be too!
But they're not as pretty as boys.
Guys, you're being a bit loud...
Sorry, Grillby.
Yeah, Kate and I are sorry.
"Yeah, the right girl." 
Sans smiled. "You'll find the right one. I promise." They started walking ahead of him again.
Mettaton sighed. "How long have you known them?" Grillby shrugged. "It's more than long enough to know they won't react negatively to you liking men."
"Who likes men?" 
Grillby turned his head towards Toriel. "Oh, uh, n-n-n-"
"We're here!" Sans waved their arms. "We're at the top of it, everyone."
He smiled, then furrowed his eyebrows as Toriel giggled beside him. "What?"
"I understand what you and Mettaton were talking about now."
"You do?"
She leaned in close. "You like them. You should say it!"
"Yo, Grillby!" Sans ran over to him. "Look! There's a huge hole here. Who wants to go in?"
He ran close to the hole. It looked rather deep. "Why no-" His foot snagged, and he tripped in.
"We're jumping in? Okay!" Sans took a running start before jumping in. "Come on, guys!"
The others started to jump in after them.
"Ugh..." Grillby felt his body hit a soft pile of...fluff? He went to grab a chunk of it, flowers? He rose to his knees and slowly got up, leaning against the...wall? It felt like stone.
He heard a thump. 
"Grillby?"
He turned his head towards the voice. "Sans? Are you okay?" Grillby took them by their arms, moving them out of the flowers. 
They slowly stood up. "Where...are we?"
"I don't kno-" His head jerked back to the flowers as the others appeared in the flowers.
"That hurt very badly." Toriel stood up, her legs still shaking. "But I think we should go on." The others let out the best sounds of agreement that they could.
"Okay, come on!" Grillby smiled as they started to walk through the area.
Sans laughed. "Always up for an adventure?"
He felt his face flush. "Always."
Toriel held back a giggle as she walked by Sans. She placed a hand on their shoulder, stopping them, letting Grillby go on a bit further ahead. "I think Grillby likes you."
They laughed. "Of course, he does. He's my best friend, Toriel."
She shook her head. "Romantically, I mean."
Sans stopped laughing. "Tori, I don't think you even know Grillby anymore 'cause he's straight."
Toriel took a step back. "You can't see it?" Sans shook their head. "Hm...I see." She started to walk ahead.
They blinked a bit. That was weird.
Did Grillby like them romantically? Nah, Toriel was overthinking it. 
He was just their friend.
They started to walk again.
"Guys..."
Sans' head turned towards Grillby.  "What? is i-" His eyes focused on the entrance of a small house. "You're kidding me.."
The group headed into the house, finding the insides to be in shambles.
"We should fix it up." They turned their heads toward Toriel. "If none of you want to help...you can go ahead to whatever lies beyond. "
"I'd love t' help ya, Toriel." Sans smiled. 
"Me too!" Grillby raised his hand. 
Toriel clapped. "Good! Now, let's clean up these vines." The group started to clean. 
"Fuck.." 
Grillby turned his head. "Are you okay?"
"Got a thorn stuck in my hand." Sans held up their hand.
"I'll get it out." He held their hand, examining it. "Okay, it's not that deep, so I can pull it out. It's gonna hurt, though."
"Just do it, bud."
"Okay.." He gently tugged the thorn, making the piece pop out. "There we go. Thankfully, you're not bleeding, and we're basically done with the cleaning."
They smiled. "Alright, let's head out."
Most of the group started heading toward the basement, but Toriel and a few others didn't. "Well, we'd like to stay here for a bit. The rest of you can go on."
Sans nodded. "Yeah, I get that. Come on, Grillby, come on, guys!"
Grillby smiled and made his way down the stairs. "You're coming too, Froggit?"
It nodded. "I don't want to miss the adventure!" 
Sans laughed. You won't. You won't miss the adventure."
The group walked until they felt ice crystals under their feet.
Froggit tried hitting one, but it only bent. "Wow! That's so cool! Come on!" They hopped along the path. "Look up, guys!"
Grillby tilted his head.
Holy...
Devan...
Crap.
The ceiling had icicles coming down. 
He changed his position and suddenly saw a light rainbow going through it. 
Woah.
"Let's keep going." Sans started moving again.
The group continued. 
Froggit poked at Grillby. "Look! 'S like..our Snowdin Town."
He started to look around. 
It did. 
Maybe...
He started to investigate the town, along with the others. 
There it was.
A rundown abandoned bar-like building.
"Hey," Sans stood next to him. "You should bring your bar back, dude. Tibia, honest, I think it misses you."
Grillby laughed. "Yeah, I missed it too. Want to go in and look around?"
They smiled. "Sure." They held open the door. "Fire first."
"How cordial." He went inside and started to look around the dust-covered bar. "Well, it's a start."
"Why don't I help you clean it up?"
SAY YES
Grillby felt his face heat. "S-Sure!"
Sans laughed. "Alright!"
Oh my god, it's just them and me!
"I'll check under t see if there's anything under, and you can start on the top."
"Sounds good to me, Grillbz." They started to use their sleeve to dust off the bar counter. 
He looked up at Sans. "Well, that works."
"Yeah, it does." They lazily dusted one of the seats and sat down. "Find anything?"
"Just some aging alcohol. Which, I guess, is good?"
"I would view that as good, but that depends on who you ask."
"Yeah, most of us can't drink, though."
"Legally, but we can physically."
Grillby rolled his eyes. "Yes, Sans, physically, we can, but it also doesn't mean we should."
"Never said we should, Grillby." Sand laid their head on the bar.
"Oh, Sans," he laughed. "Um...Sans?"
They looked up. "Yeah?"
"I can tell you anything, right?"
Sans smiled. "Of course, you can. I've told ya that before."
"Well...I've been hiding something from you. I...I...." He felt his legs give out and crumple onto the floor. 
"Grillby?" They rushed over to his side. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
He laughed and felt his face pressed against their shoulder. "No, I'm not hurt. I...I'm gay."
They wrapped their arms around him. "It's okay. I'm right here."
And they sat there. 
As Grillby cried in their arms.
Never leaving him.
It felt like the entire world had passed when the noises finally ceased from him.
"I...I'm okay now."
"Why don-" 
"Hey, guyss!" They both look up to see Froggit. "Are you staying here too?"
Sans looked at Grillby and then back at Froggit. "Yeah, we are. Why are you staying? I thought you didn't want to 'miss the adventure?' Yeah?"
"Yeah, well, this place is super cool! Plus, why not hang out here and help the others rebuild the town?"
Grillby smiled. "Yeah, I'm excited to rebuild!"
Froggit looked around. "I can't believe you already built an entire bar! This is why you're so cool, Grillby."
It started to attempt to hop out of it. "I'll leave you two here! I'm gonna help with the inn!"
Sans laughed. "Good luck, bud."
It closed the door behind them.
Grillby.
They're still holding you.
Don't mention it if you want to keep them holding you.
"Ah, shit, I'm still holding you. Sorry, Grillbz."
Don't let go. I need you.
"It's okay, I don't mind." He smiled.
I love it when you hug me.
Please keep hugging me.
They chuckled. "Alright, how about we crash here for the night? Yeah?" He nodded. "Great, come on, cuddle up close. We need t' stay warm after all."

Sans and Muffet's in the Punz AUs
Cracked Lore Farlon has never met his AU's version of Muffet, therefore it is unknown what they would think of each other
'Sans' has no Muffet due to having no actual AU. He is an outcode after all. He does know that Muffet exists outside his world, and knows they usually overprice their wares, but he enjoys that. He finds it funny when people spend all their money just to buy a spider donut or spider cider.
Ruined Souls Sans has a rough relationship with Muffet. They can manage to be friendly at times, but they often clash heads over the smallest of issues. They don't clash heads often however. Sans enjoys his time overall when visiting Muffet mostly because Grillby is there to make sure they don't fight. The two are slowly working out their differences, but with Sans being so busy from extra work it's hard to always find time to chat with Muffet and Grillby
Undertale: Muffet's Journey Sans hasn't actually met Muffet in the story so far. Any story past Muffet falling into the Underground has not been made yet, so it is unknown what Sans will think of the young Muffet. One thing is for certain, he'll be nervous to hear what she says about his puns
Healing Tears Sans has met Muffet on a few occassions, but they don't really speak to each other. Sans usually sees Muffet when he's doing his usual jokes at the Underwater Mettaton Resort and Entertainment. His jokes can be quite fish-y since they are all mer-monsters who live in water and have survived with the help of Frisk
Undertale: The Murder Glitch Sans regrets what he did to Muffet, so after he finished dealing with the human, Sans went on to get the spiders in the Ruins out of Ruins and into Waterfall and beyond as a way to pay tribute to Muffet. He vows that once he brings everyone back he will do whatever it takes to make the others happy before he dies. But if he happens to die before bringing everyone back, well he'll just apologize profusely in the afterlife, if there even is an afterlife in his world. Muffet probably wouldn't forgive Sans right away since he killed her but she would be happy that the spiders in Ruins got to explore the world.
Undertale: No More Murder Only Strategy Sans has a rough friendship with Muffet. He remembers the previous timelines and how he killed her twice already and feels bad for it but is glad to know she's willing to co-operate with him as long as she gets a good pay out of it. He knows that Muffet wouldn't usually help, since she likes to work alone but he had to get her help in the plan in order to both stop the human and free the spiders in the Ruins. Seems his plan secretly included him helping with freeing the spiders in the ruins since he wanted to make up for what he did in the previous timelines, which is nice. The more help he gets the better, and if help comes from fixing past mistakes then so be it.

SakuseiTale AU
SakuseiTale is a under tale AU. (Sakusei means creation in Japanese) In SakuseiTale there is a female flame monster (like grillby) named Alastor who lives underground. She is 3 feet and six inches tall, has curly orange hair, wears glasses, black boots, a black scarf, off the shoulder maroon sweater, white long sleeve button up shirt, and gray sweat pants or a gray skirt. She has two dad's Kane her father (a fire frog monster) and Gareth her dad (a mammoth monster) until Kane disappeared one day no where to be found. Alastor loves chocolate, animals, and snow. Her age is also unknown but Alastor is a teenager. She is weak against normal water and will get sick if splashed by a large amount of it. Alastor has red eyes but they turn gray when she uses her magic. She is a very kind person but does seems thrilled at the idea of violence and destruction though is very empathetic and if she accidentally hurts someone or does something that upsets/bothers them she apologizes quickly and gets upset. If Alastor is forced to fight her favorite weapon to use is a scythe. Alastor can make small flame spirits from paper by lighting it on fire that only last a minute and if she draws fire that ranges in color and shape in the book the paper for her fire spirits come from called a creation book she can use fire magic. Alastor has only one of her fire spirits be permanent and she named him Princy (Princy is a very nice fire spirit and shaped like a fire ball but he can turn into a fire bear. He has a mouth and two eyes and if feel threatened or think Alastor is threatened will attack the person responsible for that feeling). In the Sakusei universe Sans is named Jax and is five feet tall. He wears green sweatpants, a black tank top, and tennis shoes while Papyrus is named Patrick and is 6ft and one inch tall, who wears jeans, a button up white shirt with a tie, and formal shoes. The two skeleton brothers that used to work above the underground Jax as a boxer and Patrick as a college teacher. Jax is quite head strong and often is quick to act which can be a good thing in some occasions and is also quick to defend and protect his friends and befriend and help others. Patrick is stern yet kind but often gives anyone who looks like a threat a glare or if close enough to threaten them to not even think of touching his brother quickly hidden from others by his smile and friendliness . They can summon bones and the brothers are unable to see others hp and exp but Patrick began to have visions once he fell into the underground. Jax can make Gaster blasters from the notebook he has and make portals that last for two minutes while Patrick can make weapons and change the form or shape of things if he draws them in a notebook. The brothers got these notebooks from underground upon finding them in Gareth's lab. The two of them fell into the Underground one day while on a camping trip together and discovered a race of monsters and humans who were banished because they were hybrids or humans and monsters who promised they didn't have romantic relations on their kings life. Above ground those ways did change but the underground monsters, humans, and hybrids were forgotten. When everything became settled above ground and the undergrounders were brought out Gareth and Jax began to date (Alastor started calling Jax her Papa and pretty soon after he and Gareth were wed) Now Gareth, Jax, Patrick, Fumie, and Queen Ruby sometimes visit other AUs and make new friends.
(this is my first Undertale AU and there is more information about it if you look through my page)

Tali’s Alphys-Centric Fic Rec List
I’ve been meaning to make this for a while!! All fics are oneshots unless marked as a series or with a chapter count.  Thanks to everyone who recced several of these to me on my 12am begging-for-alphys-fics post dfdksdl. These aren’t in any particular order. The “notes” section is my commentary about each fic. No fics are based on full AUs (ex. underswap, horrortale, etc). The only endgame Alphys ship included is Alphyne, though most of the fics listed are gen. Hope you can find something you enjoy here!
Extra Credit by FriedCatfish
Rating: G // Word count: 1,206 Summary: Undyne loses track of time watching anime. Set before the events of the game. Notes: Cute Alphyne oneshot! Short and sweet, very nice characterization
world comes pouring through by feralpheonix
Rating: G // Word count: 1,655 Summary: Alphys reunites with some old friends on the way home from taking care of business. Notes: 2nd person Alphys pov but it surprisingly works? A small moment with Alphys, Bratty, and Catty, which I literally NEVER see content for so it was really refreshing!! Takes place at/near the end of the pacifist route.
white lies to the dead by MiniNephthys
Rating: T // Word Count: 580 Summary: Alphys walks through Waterfall, talking to someone who's not there. Notes: Queen Alphys ending; Alphys “talks” to Undyne after she’s been killed. Hits me right in all the emotions ;;
Found Soul by LibraLibrary
Rating: T // Word Count: 1,331 Summary: Self-worth is a slippery, fleeting little devil, and the bastard flower that killed you isn't helping. Takes place during the final fight of the True Pacifist run, following Alphys from one purgatory to the next. Notes: Very angsty, definitely make sure you’re ready to handle Alphys’s suicidal thoughts, but a very good read! I love seeing the Lost Soul battle from her POV.
And I Feel Fine by Masu_Trout
Rating: T // Word Count: 1,685 Summary: The fallen human is human is fast approaching The Core, and Mettaton is ready to finally take the stage. Now, if only Alphys would stop worrying so much. Notes: Alphys & Mettaton friendship in the no mercy route, but manages to be surprisingly not depressing. Mettaton POV but definitely still deserves to be here. This fic does a great job of characterizing them both and it’s always great to see Alphys working in her element.
Experimentation by pickledragon
Rating: G // Word Count: 1,531 Summary: Alphys is, above all, a scientist. She may watch anime with religious fervor and make horrible Undernet shitposts in her free time, but she is good at her job. She knows what they say about her, behind her back. But when she stands there, time open before her, she resolves to collect data. Each experiment, intentional or not, brings new opportunities to change certain variables and observe others. Alphys is a scientist, after all. Notes: THIS FIC. it’s technically part of a series but it stands on its own (it’s the only one i’ve read by this author). EXCELLENT alphys characterization and writing style. Some Sans & Alphys friendship too which is always stellar. If you didn’t gather from the summary, it’s an alphys starts to remember resets fic.
Memory by Ash_yeet
Rating: T // Word Count: 19,962 // Chapters: 5/20 Summary: It's been two years since monsterkind have joined the humans on the surface, and Alphys is happier than she's ever been. But things can't stay great forever. She starts having nightmares, lapses in memory, flashbacks to things that have never happened. She hopes it will pass... sans is doing his best to adjust to life. When Alphys reaches out to him about her nightmares, he doesn't expect much. He quickly changes his tune. Someone is trying to come back. And they aren't what they used to be.sans and Alphys are trying to move on. But there's one thing they forgot: No matter how hard you try, you can't run from your past. Notes: I’ve only read chapter one so far, but it’s been really good! Looks like it’s going to involve Gaster in some way. Says it’s on short hiatus but was updated in April so doesn’t look abandoned.
Hot and Cold Blooded (Alphyne series) by perniciousLizard
Rating: varies by fic, usually G but a few T and one E // Word count: 36,516 // Works: 18/18 Summary: This series is a place to put all my Alphys/Undyne stories that aren't part of another series. Notes: this series has something for everyone; you can pick and choose which works to read. Most are feel-good fluff and humor, some hurt/comfort too. Some connect to the author’s Sansby series (which i also can’t recommend enough)
When Life Hands You Enantiomers by Kaesa
Rating: T // Word Count: 2,739 Summary: Alphys has a half-finished tile maze puzzle, reams of useless data, and a bunch of piranhas that can't tell the difference between lemon and orange scent. Sans has donuts. Notes: ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES. Fun puns, science, alphys & sans friendship, piranhas, the opportunity to actually understand organic chemistry references,, it’s so good and fun
Friendshipping by AyuOhseki
Rating: G // Word Count: 4,564 Summary: Sans finds Alphys's secret Sans/Grillby RPF. This won't get weird or awkward or anything, we're sure. Notes: Hilarious Alphys narration, great characterization, it’s just so silly and warms my heart. I love terrible fanfic writer Alphys
social links by simplycarryon
Rating: G // Word Count: 2,525 Summary: Friendship's pretty neat, or so your video games and anime dictate. But you are not an anime protagonist, and you're not sure you know what friendship is any more. Notes: more solid sans & alphys friendship :D
See You Another Time by decamarks
Rating: T // Word Count: 18,500 // Chapters: 1/14 Summary: “Have you ever thought of a world where everything is exactly the same... Except you don’t exist? Everything functions perfectly without you.” Alphys spent a lot of time thinking about what it’d be like to start over. It wasn’t fair for someone like her to escape consequences. She knew that, yet the thought never left her mind—the thought that maybe, just maybe, she could get another chance; that she could abandon her life, her failures—everything—and start anew. But that would never happen. Sometimes, Alphys wondered. Would the world be better off without her? When unexplainable anomalies appear and begin to warp the world around her, Alphys discovers something she was never meant to know: the identity of the former Royal Scientist, and how he met his demise. Doctor W.D. Gaster vanished without a trace; he was erased from reality after an experiment ended in disgrace. Forgotten by the world, shattered across time and space—it’s like he never existed in the first place.And Alphys can’t imagine a better fate. Notes: This is a monster of a first chapter but definitely worth the read!! So much good stuff happening already. I’m a total wuss but I still love the cosmic/existential horror bits going on so far. Great Sans & alphys friendship and Undyne & alphys friendship so far.  All the amalgamates also feel incredibly well written. Can’t wait to see more of this one
(And here are a few of my own Alphys-centric fics as well)
Seventh Time’s the Charm by Taliax
Rating: G // Word Count: 1,519 // Chapters: 1/7 Summary: Six bad "dates" Alphys has been on, plus one that is actually pretty good. Notes: Alphys is my favorite and I love giving her a bad time. First chapter is a “date” she has with Sans. Next chapter which I have in progress is going to be Papyrus. (Alphyne is still endgame of course.) Set mostly before the events tof the game. Get ready for lots of second-hand embarrassment sdlfkjds
Support Character by Taliax
Rating: T // Word Count: 1,814 Summary: If Sans is determined to fight the human, Alphys is going to make sure he's prepared. Notes: Sans & Alphys no mercy route friendship, based on the headcanon that Alphys was the one to give Sans the powers/magic he uses to fight the human.
it's your best life (if it's the life that you're living right now) by Taliax
Rating: T // Word Count: 4,046 Summary: Through messages saved to Sans's phone, Queen Alphys gets a glimpse at lives that might have been.  With so many possibilities... how did this timeline go so wrong? Notes: Sans & Alphys friendship, Queen Alphys ending, mostly angst/hurt/comfort. I’m really proud of this one and it uses my main headcanon for how Sans knows about resets.
The Trans-Underground Alphys-Carrying, Match-Making Road Trip by Taliax
Rating: G // Word Count: 5,713 Summary: From her secret security camera, Alphys gets too invested in Sans's relationship with the voice behind the door.  This wouldn't be a problem if Mettaton didn't decide to take her ship into his own hands. Trying to catch up with a battery-powered robot is hard work, but telling the truth is even harder. Notes: This is a really silly fic with some hurt/comfort sprinkled in. Has some Soriel and Papyton in the background. Has some Alphys & Papyrus friendship as well which is always underrated in my opinion.

AuraFell InfoDump
Hello! As some of you may already know, I have created my own AU called AuraFell! It doesn't have any Tale/Swap/Swapfell/etc counterparts yet, so this is completely new!
I'm going to dump everything I have to start with this AU below the cut. If you want to wrote or draw this AU please ask, it's still in New AU stages so I want it to be done right! But I'm very easygoing and I would love for more content to me made so don't be afraid (:
More info below the cut, it's a mess of about 7k words so bear with me!
AuraFell:
Let's start with the magic system. Most monsters have the same type of magic as regular AUs, nothing special. If they have an aura, it's weak or hard to use.
Boss Monsters, though, have Auras that are strong and super effective.
Boss monsters in this AU (that ive developed) are:
-Papyrus (Mockingbird)
-Sans (Terror)
-Asgore (Dad)
-Toriel (Auntie)
-Undyne (Shrill)
-Alphys (Professor)
-Mettaton (Signal)
-Grillby (Ozone)
-Frisk (Kiddo)
And the deceased ones with powers thus far:
-Gaster (Doctor...deceased)
-Asriel (Giver...deceased...?)
-Chara (Pal....deceased)
Nicknames! So nicknames are actually given to Boss monsters by the ones their aura effects. They all for some reason call them that name.
Aura powers fall under two categories, with subcategories. If your aura is in the same category, you're resistant to the other's power. If you have the same category AND subcategory, you're immune.
Ambient Auras: These are Auras that are area of effect, sort of. They are focused in one way or another but generally present at all times.
-Visual: This means the Ambient Aura is focused with a visual effect (flashing colors, a friendly smile, the written word)
-Audial: This means the Ambient Aura is focused with sound (humming, singing, spoken word)
Given Aura: This aura type must be administered physically somehow. It is not ever-present but can be "stowed" or "kept". The effect is imbued to an object or physically given somehow.
-Present: This means the Given Effect must be given through an item (a baked good laced with the effect, a gift, etc)
-Physical: This means the given effect must be administered through physical contact (a bite, a kiss, skin to skin contact)
Let's start with the skeleton Brothers' powers
Papyrus, AKA Mockingbird
-His Aura is called Lullaby. He makes people fall asleep. He usually does this by humming or singing. It can effect one person immediately or multiple with a delay. 
-His favorite lullaby to hum is "Hush little baby" (you know. The one where Mama is gonna buy you a Mockingbird...) and perhaps that's why everyone calls him Mockingbird
-He used to think he had no powers because he didn't know how to focus it, and his Category/Subcategory is the same as Sans AND Undyne (whom he spent the most time with) so neither were ever affected
- Category/Sub is Ambient (Audial)
Sans (Terror)
-His aura is called Modify Memory, but nobody knows that. He can speak to a sleeping person and influence their dreams, or speak a story to an woken person and they will legitimately remember that it happened that way. Again, it's most effective when focused on one person, and the details fuzz or change if he tries to stretch it to more people
-He pretends to be affected by Mock's lullaby. He's incredibly fast, agile, and strong, and he pretends he's only a good fighter when he's unconscious. This way nobody will risk a surprise knockout and they'll cooperate with him when Mock threatens to put him to sleep. He modifies people's memories so they will spread by word of mouth that the unconscious fighting is his power, not modify memory
-Category/Sub: Ambient (Audial)
Speed run through the others:
-Toriel (Auntie) makes pies or any baked good that are more addictive than any drug. Category/sub: Given (Present)
-Asgore (Dad) has Big Dad Energy and everyone wants to impress him, to an extreme. He's so strong he affects most of the Underground without knowing it, and to his horror most of the Underground seems to think that murdering others and getting stronger is the way to impress him. He focuses with spoken word but it's mostly unnecessary at this point. Ambient (Audial)
-Grillby (Ozone). Hypnosis. Pretty flame colors. Leaves his victims open to suggestion. Ambient (Visual)
-Muffet (? Nickname tbd) makes a paralyzing poison. She has figured out how to put it in her pastries but it's best delivered by bite. Given (Physical)
-Undyne (Shrill) has the command power. People follow a command from her. Longer instructions if focused on one, one simple instruction if aimed at multiples. Ambient (Audial)
-Alphys (Professor). People take whatever she says as fact as long as it's written in her handwriting. Ambient (Visual)
-Mettaton (Signal). His TV programs are brainwashing propaganda. He can convince people to buy or sell anything if they are watching him through a screen. Ambient (Visual)
-Frisk (Kiddo) radiates friendship with a smile. Ambient (visual)
-Gaster (Doctor) used to be able to say anything and people would believe him. Ambient (Audial)
-Chara (Pal) was able to convince anyone to be friendly to them no matter what they'd done. Ambient (Audial)
-Asriel (Giver) could give you a rock and you'd well up with grateful feelings. Given (Present)
So 
yeah that's the basics, that's the big peeps in that world. Basically it isn't really Asgore's fault the place is so fucked up he's just very old and powerful and the violence is mostly people trying to impress him (poorly).
Gaster is Terror and Mock's Dad but he died when they were young, 8 and barely 2. He died trying to save Asriel and Chara when he accidentally dropped a barrier-breaking theory that Asriel then took as fact because of Gaster's aura.
Toriel moved almost immediately after the children's deaths, and Asgore did his best to raise Terror and Mock until Terror was old enough to take Mock to live in their house in Snowdin (about 14 and 8 years old)
Snowdin is a really bad place now though bc Toriel (Auntie) has been giving away her pies at the ruins gates, and people are killing and hurting each other for enough G or whatever they think she wants to get the next fix. She's kinda lost it at this point, she keeps feeding them out of some twisted need to be needed
Terror was old enough and smart enough to know "yeah, let's not eat that". They're immune to Asgore's power bc they are the same types, but they still want to impress him the normal kid-wants-to-impress-dad amount so they never tell him when they need more support out of some sense of pride. 
Mock was a bit of a runt well into teenage years. His magic was very slow to grow. He got picked on a lot, kids stole his lunch money and roughed him up and such. He would hum his favorite lullabies to himself to calm his anxiety, and wouldn't you know it, but one day it put everyone to sleep!
So sometimes he doesn't even realize he's humming, he does it to calm his nerves, he a nervous bean, but he also  knows from the one time someone injured his socket that earplugs are good enough to slow his effects
He also learns pretty quickly that junkies don't sleep for long and they are way stronger than he anticipated so, he racks up some of his LV for stuff like that.
He also likes tea because his powers depend on him being able to hum/sing

Hello Poppy! I hope you slept well! Here is the reminder you requested to create a mob au hc post like the cowboy post. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you, it’s finally time! I’m gonna put it under a cut immediately because having twenty skeletons makes every post with all of them automatically a long one!
Full disclaimer-- none of the boys are bosses, that falls on the monarch(s) of their universes... but that doesn’t mean they don’t have their own roles to play~
(Warnings: mentions of crime, drugs, violence, sex, brief sexism [probably not the way you’d think] and ableism, plus all the usual mob-tropes I may have forgotten to mention)
Sans (Undertale): He’s a...humble purveyor of items, quality goods produced economically in order to pass those savings on to the crafty consumer who might not want to pay full, exorbitant price for ‘name-brand’ luxuries... Yeah, he’s the ‘you wanna buy a watch?’ guy and he spends most of his days (strategically) wandering around the city looking for customers to hock knockoff, lookalike watches, wallets and bags to. The fuzz know him by name but can never seem to find anything to hold him on, so he’s mostly just a harmless nuisance to be shooed along elsewhere if there’s been any complaints. (He’s real good at making friendly conversation with the law enforcement and keeping all eyes on him, and frankly, if there were any real shady business going on somewhere nearby... well, the cops certainly wouldn’t know about it, too busy hustling him along down the street, now would they?)
Papyrus (Undertale): An upstanding citizen, unlike his brother who’s always in some little trouble with the law or other. He is gainfully employed at a fitness center, and he commutes there by car, because paid for his license to operate one and practiced his driving skills and saved up until he could afford a very beautiful, shiny car of his own! It’s a very nice vehicle...so nice, even, that he doesn’t like to drive it for...recreational outings with friends, in case the paint might get scuffed. That’s why his friends let him borrow their cars when they go out, and let him drive very fast (but safely!) all over the city, even at strange hours or by ‘suspicious’ locations. He’s certainly never seen anything suspicious going on, he just waits outside, and if he happens to keep a First Aid kit in his glove-box, that’s just taking precautions, isn’t it? Accidents happen, you know! (He’s the best getaway driver in town and he knows it, but plausible deniability--the less he ‘knows,’ the better.)
Sky (Underswap Sans): Just your average, ordinary businessman, running a nice little bar for average, ordinary folks of all kinds. Well... he co-owns the place with a buddy of his, Grillby, but Grillbz is a free spirit and a real man about town, so really most of the ‘running’  is down to him. And he loves it! So many people (monsters and humans) to meet and chat with and serve... human food and alcohol, of course. Monster food and alcohol isn’t legalized yet to serve to humans, and a black mark like that against his little establishment would be just awful. He adheres fully to the rules and regulations set forth by human governmental agencies, no magic in anything he passes across the counter, skeleton’s honor! ...Total bullshit, obviously-- he’s running a speakeasy for humans who want to partake in a little monster food or booze, because it’s not harmful to humans and that makes it an even stupider regulation than prohibition was. Grillby taught him most of the menu and cooks on the rare occasions he’s in, while Sky handles the liquid menu and keeps an eye-socket out for snitches and inspectors trying to catch him in the act. He’s never missed a rat yet.
Paps (Underswap Papyrus): He works at his brother’s place. In the back. Only part-time, though, Sky’s got it mostly buttoned up there, so Paps has a lot of leisure time to wander around the city, hit up his favorite joints, chat with friends--and strangers that can become friends, he’s a friendly sorta guy. And if he’s ever seen sharing a cigarette or two with one of those friends, of course it’ll be a totally normal tobacco cigarette, and no exchange of money or anything else incriminating about the interaction. ...Doggo is the one that does the deals, he’s got the Dog Treat supply and a client base that’s steadily starting to include humans--but since Dog Treats are classed as Monster Consumables and illegal to distribute to humans, in spite of being non-addictive, only mildly affective, and non-irritant to lungs, things get a little more convoluted. Paps hits up Doggo at Muffet’s (a wholly monster establishment) for the Dog Treats and a client list, ‘refurbishes’ the Treats to resemble cigarettes, and then meets up with anybody who prepaid for their order real casual-like to fence ‘em. He gets a little cut of the profits, and a discount when he’s picking up for pleasure instead of business--like a (slightly) more illegal girl scout cookie racket.
Jasper (Underfell Sans): Him? He’s just an average joe in all respects. He’s got a little auto shop, spends his days tuning up cars and bikes and such as the like, and most evenings out having fun with anybody else who’s out looking to have a good time--food and drink and maybe a little gambling, but small games, low stakes, for charity, yanno? Nothing illegal, he’d freely assure anyone concerned about the law. Yep, he’s a perfectly normal, law-abiding citizen...as far as anyone can tell. If he does a little work on the side, when specifically requested to, by perhaps one of his monarchs or one of the parties they’d approved to ask for his...services... Well, he’s certainly too quick and clean about it to leave any hard evidence behind, and he’s always far away from...whatever may have happened...with too many witnesses all in agreement that he was there and couldn’t have been anywhere else, unless he could somehow make it across town in the blink of an eye. (His side-gig is as a hitman. He keeps his shortcut ability very tightly under wraps to make for perfect alibis, and takes his targets out with magic bullets which he can disappear afterwards. If he’s ever somehow implicated in anything, he’s happy to point out to the nice officers that he doesn’t even own a weapon. They’re free to look, but all they’ll find is a set of knuckledusters he keeps on his person, purely for protection--and look how shiny the brass is, never even been used, officers! Guess they’ve got nothing on him, after all...)
Pyre (Underfell Papyrus): A law-abiding citizen. He must be--surely one can’t get more law-abiding than a lawyer...right? He actually does keep his (lack of) nose clean, but studying the convoluted mess that is human law doesn’t leave time for much else--even when your studies are funded by royalty and you’re given everything you need to open up your own practice as soon as you’ve passed the bar. Still, his skill and knowledge in arguing the law is very valuable and his services are in high demand, so he’s well-compensated for his chosen career and lives his life outside of it both comfortably and legally. His clients...are innocent until proven guilty and it would be an extreme failing of his duty to give any of them anything less than his best in the courtroom, regardless of their character, their associations, and what they happen to have been accused of. (Yeah, he’s a mob lawyer, used almost exclusively by Asgore and Toriel to protect them and anyone they send to him and all of their collective...interests. He respects the law, but values justice above it, so in spite of having a lot of clients who are definitely criminals in one way or another, he has no trouble sleeping at night.)
Mal (Swapfell Sans): He’s an accountant, nothing more, nothing less. ...For Toriel, of course, so he��s paid well for his services. And he has quite a head for numbers and figures, so he plays the stock market and does quite well there, too, smart investments and reading the writing on the wall, and all that. It’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for his very healthy finances and his lavish lifestyle--fur coats, fine suits, fancy cars, shiny gold pocket-watches-- it’s all expensive and almost over the top, but hey, he is the money-man and all the numbers check out. It seems that he’s just very good at handling and investing his capital, it’s no wonder the monster-queen herself hired him on... (He is, of course, running several money laundering schemes at any given time, taking all the less-than-legally-obtained money earned by constituents of the [former] Empire and layering it through official channels to make it look legal in such a convoluted, complex web that it doesn’t raise any significant red flags. He’s got his claws in a lot of pies, and he takes what he needs off the top to live a little luxuriously, with Toriel’s knowledge and permission-- a perk for the necessary service he provides.) Whatever else may be true, it’s a simple fact that he’s very, very good at his job.
Rus (Swapfell Papyrus): With the lucrative career his brother has, the lucky SOB doesn’t have to work a day in his life if he doesn’t want to, but he’s using the safety net to pursue his passion in art. Subjective as it is, it’s hard to say if he’s really any good, but people seem to like what he produces well-enough--not a household name, but people passionate about the subject might recognize his work and his pieces sell with at least moderate success. For all that it’s probably not going to make him famous or rich(er than his brother), he’s dedicated to his craft and regularly makes bulk purchases of his supplies, canvas and reams of paper and paint and ink and the like, to keep up his steady work and art sales. He seems like an altogether normal and down-to-earth sort of guy, nothing suspicious about him at all. (He’s a counterfeiter and works in tandem with his brother--they even hit a Bureau together to lift a set of plates for the one and only active crime he was involved in--and his art is just a really good cover for why he needs so much ink and paper and other supplies on a regular basis. He does love and care about his art career, that part’s not fake, but he’s also got a good eye-socket for detail and steady hands to replicate it, and if fake human money that looks really real can help monsters, he doesn’t really see why he shouldn’t.)
Slate (Horrortale Sans): He’s...been through a lot. All monsters have, really, but he was hit kind of especially hard and... Whatever Gerson, or Undyne, or whoever’s running things now up on the Surface are getting involved in...he doesn’t really want any part of it. He gets regular stipends for some unspecified ‘service’ he performed for the Queen, Underground, and while no human (alive) knows what that was, it’s apparently enough to live off of relatively comfortably without being employed himself. He has a nice little place with his brother on the outskirts of the city and he lives there quietly, peacefully. He rarely goes into town, just the occasional walkabout, stopping at restaurants or scoping out the architecture. (Part of his one concession to being left out of whatever illegal, mob-type business may or may not be going on: he needs a good mental map of the city and at least a few landmarks that he’ll definitely remember, because he’s the emergency evac should...anything...go especially south. The house phone doesn’t ring too often in the middle of the night, but when it does, he needs to know where he needs to be, and quick.)
Papy (Horrortale Papyrus): He’s, ah... not involved in any ‘business’ either, but he does spend a little more time out of the house, at the local hospital. He was allowed to make a study of human medicine and become a nurse by Very Special Exception--mostly due to some friends (or at least one) in high places, and some very backwards human attitudes about parts that constitute a ‘man’ and how a skeleton without any parts could perhaps be allowed into nursing--and he’s proven himself a valuable member of staff and even made friends with all of his coworkers. He’s happy at his job, and with his life, and returns home to his quiet, peaceful house every night with a smile. (He has a go-bag ready by the phone for those late night calls, though, full of healing items and medical equipment he may have subtly nicked from the hospital, just so he has everything he needs to treat a monster or a friendly human that may have gotten hurt...somehow...and for reasons they have no need to specify, can’t risk going to a doctor.)
Ash (Undergloom Sans): Just a poor street musician...or at least, that’s what most people figure, ‘cause he doesn’t dress too well and the trombone he plays while sitting out on the sidewalk looks like it’s probably the nicest thing he owns. He gets a couple bucks from time to time, but rarely any second glances, and that... That works in his favor. You’d be surprised how much people talk about when they think nobody’s listening (or at least...nobody important) and he can pick up a lot of interesting information of what’s going on in the city just by setting up in the right spot and waiting for folks to talk business. He’s pretty quiet when he’s not tooting the ol’ horn and great at blending into the background, and that’s made him the guy to go to when you want to know something--like how much somebody else knows, or if there are any plans in place for say, a raid or a sting or some kind. (Law enforcement is the worst about keeping proprietary information ‘proprietary’ when they think their only audience is some nobody monster bum sleeping on a bench...) He’s also got something of a whole information network going on with the actual homeless people in the city, since he gives great tips about places who are hiring or somewhere to get a meal or a bed for the night and he always gives his earnings from busking to those who need it more than him. He’s paid for the service he provides and he’s got a home to go back to, it just seems right that the music-money goes to help somebody else.
Yrus (Undergloom Papyrus): He works as a nanny for the Queen! Not too long ago, she might’ve opted to just stay home and look after her newly adopted child herself, while Asgore handled business with the humans, but... They’re freshly split now, and Toriel wants to be just as involved in things as Asgore as much as she wants to s l o w l y ease into being a full-time mother again. Yrus is the solution, already fond of little Frisk and a very warm and trustworthy soul who stayed bright even in the gloom of the Underground. He happily takes the job when asked and splits his time between supervising and caring for Frisk, and tutoring them in all the important subjects (math, history, magic, et cetera). He finds he has a passion for teaching and thinks he might go into that someday, when Frisk is older and Toriel has a little more time and confidence to no longer need him as a buffer. (Whatever it is, specifically, that takes up so much of Toriel’s time and keeps her out so late that he sometimes has to wait around well past Frisk’s bedtime for her to come back and ask after them... Yrus couldn’t fathom a guess and isn’t going to ask any questions. That would definitely be out of his scope as a simple child-minder and even if he knew anything, it would be an extreme violation of the family’s privacy for him to tell tales, which he’s happy to point out to anyone with a lot of questions for somebody so close to two of the Dreemurrs.)
Brick (Horrorfell Sans): He’s on his brother’s payroll. It seemed like the best way to kill two birds with one stone: he’s a big, scary-looking wall of bone who isn’t well suited to a regular-joe sorta job, and his bro’s a very high-profile guy who needs somebody big and scary-looking to stand next to him and be a deterrent. Nepotism, maybe, but they’ve been looking after each other their whole lives already and it’s something Brick knows he can do--he’d do it for free, but if King thinks it’s better (and safer) to have it as his job description, he’s probably right, so Brick’ll take the paycheck for it. King’s also very likely the only one who could stop him if he...lost control...somewhere out and about, so sticking close to him makes Brick feel better and hey, maybe they’re actually killing three birds with this stone of an arrangement. Still, he mostly just goes about town with King, standing around and watching his back and staring people down when he needs to while his brother carries on with his conversations and business. He hardly ever has to do anymore than that...almost never. (One of his favorite places to go is a little hole-in-the-wall craft shop, where King always pretends to take longer than he needs so Brick can peruse the yarn and try to pick up a little sign language from the nice old deaf lady who owns the place.)
King (Horrorfell Papyrus): Yes, yes, he’s very high profile--he did lead monsterkind for a time, getting everyone up to the Surface and settled there--but he’s since stepped down. He’s retired, and anything his successor may be involved in... surely, he couldn’t say. He and Toriel are barely in contact and the money he receives from her on the regular is a gift of goodwill, mostly for medical expenses (his leg, and his brother’s...well). All he does these days is collect for a charity, a pet project of his, Monster Reparations. Lots of people give such generous donations when he goes around to ask for them, maybe impressed a little by his fame, but he can’t feel too terribly about using it for such a worthy cause... (It’s a thinly veiled protection racket and the people and businesses who buy into it tend not to fall victim to ‘mysterious’ criminal activity. Toriel may be officially calling the shots now, but King, as the monster who put her back there, is in a very unique position of power in having her ear, an unofficial underboss totally off the books. Some ‘donate’ more than necessary when he comes collecting, hoping to earn preferential treatment, and sometimes they get it and sometimes they don’t--it’s entirely down to King’s opinion of them personally. ...The old woman who runs the craft store pays about half the going rate, and the immigrant who imports the miniature trees he likes gets a heavy discount, too. The deli-owner he overheard hurling discriminatory epithets at a customer, however, pays triple. You get the idea.)
Merc (Horrorswap Sans): He’s a researcher. Highly confidential, he’s sworn to secrecy and even mentioning that he’s being funded by Elder King Shroomba is pushing the boundaries of what he’s allowed to talk about. Still, he has his own facility, and several assistants, monster volunteers and sometimes human ones--but they have to sign papers swearing not to talk about what goes on in the lab, too. From what they are allowed to say, the gist is just that it didn’t seem like anything sinister was going on; not even a blood-draw... Merc seems pretty happy to leave at the end of every day, though, and whenever it comes up, he talks very fondly about being able to finish the project. (He’s researching DT, specifically how it can be used to enhance monster physiology and make them more resistant to damage from intent. Merc’s misadventure with DT destabilized him, but from 1HP he’s now more durable than ever, and his second attempt with his brother had less dramatic but still noticeable and successful results. The king wants that safety net for more monsters, especially ones who are on the front lines of...potentially less than legal dealings...who could really be at risk. Merc is reluctant, but with the stipulation of informed, willing volunteers for DT extraction and infusion, he can’t bring himself to turn down the resources and funding to research his own condition and bring the possibility of being normal again ever closer. He still has a hard time with the idea of ‘enhancing’ monsters, but the fact that it’s at least being done safely, willingly, and with a whole team behind it this time helps a lot.)
Ell (Horrorswap Papyrus): He’s in a wheelchair but not letting it keep him down, and he’s running a modest little newspaper stand on the corner--papers and magazines and cheap books--nothing all that special but boy, what an inspiration, good for him that he’s got a job and can run the place by himself! All kinds come and go from his stand, and sometimes he closes it up for a little bit in the middle of the day to take a...er...roll, with some people who must be friends of his, but he’s never gone too long, so nobody says anything to the poor guy about the inconvenience. He’s a dedicated businessman, or trying to be; won’t even let people help him with those heavy-looking boxes of deliveries he gets, and for a fella with no legs, he seems to be doing his best! (...The whole thing is a low-key smuggling operation and he is making bank off it. There’s a system of code-words in place related to the publications he sells for a ‘customer’ to indicate whether they’re buying or selling, and what--magic consumables, stolen/hot items, imported goods, the works--and where and when they want things to go down. There’s even hidden compartments in his custom-built wheelchair for some of the riskier stuff, because he knows no cop in their right mind would force a guy with no legs out of his chair just to search it with witnesses around. And that’s presuming any law enforcement were to even catch wise to his set-up, which he kind of doubts: he’s sly and subtle and even if he weren’t, he knows people see the chair before they see him. Why not take advantage of that?)
Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans): He makes his living as a boxer, and a subsequent minor celebrity. Pretty much any match he’s in is an exhibition match--not just a monster, not just a little guy (...relatively), but a short skeleton monster who’s blind, wow! You don’t see that every day, that’s a spectacle! Plenty of ‘ooh’s and ‘ahh’s in the packed stands every night the sightless skeleton scrapper is in the ring and nobody can figure out how he bobs and weaves so well that he hardly ever gets hit. He loses some matches, that’s to be expected, even for a ‘normal’ fighter, but hey, people love an underdog story, so when he wins, it’s an uproar every time. (For his part, Pitch hates most of his ‘fans’ who think of him the same way they probably think of a silly little dog who learned a funny trick, but the fame in general, and the thrill of the fight... Those are enough to keep him in the ring. Just... maybe not quite enough to keep him fighting clean. He’s as dirty as sportsmen come and he and a few other monsters regularly play his own odds with the bookies: he’ll subtly use magic to cheat and stay in longer, or go down when he could easily keep fighting, whatever’s more profitable with the over/under from match to match. If he’s going to be a circus act doing what he loves, he may as well get hazard pay for his dignity... and y’know, a couple of idiots who think being able to fight is a ‘trick’ because you’re blind aren’t nearly so annoying when you’re being driven away from them in a luxury car, to your expensive house in the hills decked out with all the amenities.)
Nemo (Horrorswapfell Papyrus): He’s got a place he looks after, keeps things running. Just a small joint, nothing fancy, a little cabaret variety show type place--singing, dancing, drinks on tap, that kinda thing. After dark, some of the...performances... might get a little more risqué, stuff that titillates like burlesque and striptease, but rest assured, his permits are all in order and everything’s on the up and up. Nothing illegal whatsoever going on here, just a bit of singing and dancing and everybody having a good time. (Most of the performers are sex workers--monsters, but some humans too--and patrons can negotiate private shows or off-the-clock ‘meetings’ at their discretion. Nemo opts to not know too much of the details of what his dancers do when he’s not looking, for legal reasons, but he makes sure they have a safe place to do it, are paid for their services, and don’t have repeat problem-patrons if any slip through. Being one of the gentlemen running such an establishment in the city that doesn’t happen to touch or steal from or mistreat the performers, his place is the place to get hired if that’s your line of work. He’s mostly just happy to be able to provide the job security and the job safety for a group that really seems to catch a lot of hell up here on the Surface just for how they make their money.)
Sunny (Gastertale Sans): He’s a busy guy, bouncing around from place to place, job to job... Being so scattered, you might think he’d be having money troubles by now, but while he may not be the type to stick with one thing and stay there for a good few years, nobody who knows him would say he’s unreliable--he’s the type of guy that you can give him a call anytime and if you need help, he’ll be right over, and he’ll get the job done well, too! Of course he lives with his fancypants brother, and the King and Queen probably spot him a loan or two now and then, since they’re friendly, so all in all, no one really wonders how he makes enough money to live so comfortably. The answer’s right there in their face...isn’t it? (Yes and no. He is the kind of guy you can call anytime to get a job done, and he will do it well, but the money he gets from Asgore and Toriel is less of a ‘loan’ and more of a ‘payment for services rendered.’ He’s a cleaner, the guy you call to make things go away, things that aren’t supposed to be there: stains, papers, weapons, evidence... He’ll get rid of it for you, and if you need a convincing coverup or an alibi for...whatever it is that you weren’t there doing, he’ll take care of that, too. If somebody’s calling him up for his special brand of help, they probably just want to put it all behind them and forget all about that nasty business. He’s happy to facilitate--after all, what are friends for?)
Aster (Gastertale Papyrus): Like his brother, he gets on well with the King and Queen. (They both feel like they’ve known the monarchs much longer than they actually have...somehow...) But in any case, unlike his brother, Aster is very well-organized and thoughtful, so he’s a natural choice as an...advisor, of sorts, when monsters surfaced and it was...decided that perhaps there would be some...activities and...ways of doing things that...should remain unknown to the humans. Not unknown to Aster: he keeps track of everything, reminding the monarchs of little details they may have forgotten, pointing out things they may not have noticed, making educated suggestions for courses of action with likely positive outcomes based on past experiences... He’s the linchpin between Asgore and Toriel that makes them terrifyingly more efficient than they would be without him, a consigliere-equivalent who certainly isn’t a boss himself, but he has the bosses’ trust and their ears and that makes him a person of great interest. But...no one can get anything useful out of him: he’s loyal, above all, and much as he values truth, he also realizes that perhaps not everyone deserves to know the full truth of everything, especially not those who might use that truth to bring some sort of harm or misfortune to his friends...or to monsterkind at large. ...And trying to directly seize his extensive notes on the private and personal business-doings of the Dreemurrs is an even more doomed endeavor--he writes them all in a strange jumble of symbols that no one’s ever seen, and the code-breakers never have it long enough to decipher anything useful before its back in his hands, reclaimed quite speedily after unlawful seizure of private property containing confidential information. Lots of well-meaning law enforcement have their sights set on him as some sort of criminal white whale, but the simile is all too accurate-- they’ll never catch him, and even if they do, there’ll be nothing to hold him on. He simply has too many friends (and family members) in very high, very useful places.

((I haven't really put too much thought into it other then this but I've put together a Undertale AU myself!! These are just roles but hey, a base for other things))
VIKINGTALE!
Asgore: viking king; rules strictly yet fairly; takes Floweys words into consideration with each big decision; scar on the left side of mouth from a sword
Toriel : viking queen though divorced from Asgore. To hide his shame she keeps the act up for special occasions in the villages yet does not live with him and instead keeps to herself in a further village fixing up one of the abandoned sections of it.
Chara: deceased prince/vengeful spirit looking only to anger his reincarnation and destroy their path of happiness. Adopted child to Asgore and Toriel
Frisk: reincarnation of Chara; orphaned young left to travel in hopes of a village they could remain in and not be shunned away. Finding the abandoned section where toriel resides they fear death from the monster only to be welcomed so warmly. She tells them of the other villages but offers her home for them instead. They wish to travel longer feeling as if they are on a mission from the God's to find something or someone
Asriel: killed prince and biological son to Asgore and Toriel; after the death of their brother and absorbing their soul he went off to be a diplomat for his father. The first human village failed to accept any words past his lips filling him with arrows
Flowey: a pesky flower spirit scorned by his past life to cause harm and anger to all that cross his path; he especially despises the reincarnation of the late adopted prince for some unknown reasons even he is unsure about
Sans: Hersir of Snowdin; although seeming a bit lazy and never seen training with his soldiers yet stories circled around the village that many of his soldiers had never seen someone conquer a fight as fast as he did becoming vicious and protective of his people as of he had other ways to fight; especially protective of his brother if he is also in on the fight; tattoo of axes crossed on the left side of his skull; scars over humerus from sword strike((nickname: Rune))
Papyrus: Jarl of Snowdin; having taken the title some years ago he has managed to set up a perfect routine and handles the tasks given to him well enough but always willing to take the advice given by his brother; traditional Norse tattoo design on the right side of his skull depicting his strength ((nickname: Norse))
Gaster: Asgore's personal cabinet; biological father to Sans and Papyrus and the past Earl of Snowdin giving the role to Papyrus when he came of age. Often a quiet monster yet seeming to always be speaking to Asgore as the pair often travel together; traditional Norse tattoo designs from right to left from his tattoo as a Earl to the new one as the cabinet for Asgore depicting signs of knowledge and strength
Alphys: Völva; a witch mainly seen around Hotland and Waterfall. She only speaks through her traveling companion Mettaton and does most of her spell work in private
Mettaton: the traveling companion and speaker for Alphys. A joyus machine of metaled down iron and steel he finds speaking for his maker the most fun though enjoys singing and making the young villagers smile when he can
Undyne: Hersir for waterfall under Gerson; a strong individual and even stronger commander to her soldiers always driving them to improve in every weapon they have; enjoys butting heads with Sans just to get a reaction out of him; close friends with Papyrus and when waterfall visits snowdin the pair are always seen drinking together; scar across her face starting from her left ear down to her chin
Grillby: mead hall keeper in Snowdin; keeping up with repairs from the outside and inside; cook for the Jarl; quiet but if you can get him to laugh hard enough it can echo louder then the rest; Sans puns him often; a retired warrior that walks with a slight limp from a old wound; flame color is more of a auburn color lighting up brighter at the tips of his flames
Muffet: the most prosperous farmer in all of Hotland; her goods are shipped throughout the villages as are the baked goods she creates from what she chooses to keep; her spiders are paid in trades from the nice cream man and his frozen treats
Gerson: Jarl of waterfall; he's so old many think he is immortal thanks to the gods; doesn't fight as much as he use too but can still silence Undyne with a single look; his shell is decorated in long scars and cuts but still as hard as a boulder; tattoos decorate both his arms
Temmie: messenger between villages and friend to all but Flowey
Bratty and Catty: traveling merchants selling all kinds of goods they had collected from other villages
River Person: A seer living by rivers away from the villages; keeps to themself but will kot turn away someone looking for knowledge from the Gods

An Error's Journey
Chapter 26
Previous - First - Next
Sans wasn’t sure whether to be happy or sad when Frisk finally came out of the ruins, making their way over to him with a pissed-off expression. Unlucky for them, and unlucky for Sans-in a way, Frisk isn’t allowed to or even given a chance to kill him until the judgment hall. The code of the world doesn’t stop their dark banter, however. Frisk made more than sure that Sans knew how much they envied how the world was coded and that they wished they could at least attempt to fight him then and there-despite only having a toy knife and some spider-baked goods.
The code carried on, and they practiced fighting against the townsfolk of snowdin, loading constantly. It was distressing how much he had gotten used to seeing Frisk kill his neighbors and friends, the coworkers he spent nights at Grillby’s with dusting before his eye-lights. Core continued to stay by his side, not offering conversation, but silent support through the mind-breaking endeavor.
It was a while after Frisk had made it into Snowdin that anything interesting happened.
It was unexpected, but far from sudden. Just a small dark wisping portal opening nearby before expanding into a full-sized one, outstepping Death himself.
Sans and Core turned to the intruder, watching as the God looked around at their little setup with interest. As Frisk has yet to reach the proper town of Snowdin, Core and Sans had taken a spot of a ledge on the side of the cave. A perfect overlook below where no one could see them and they could see everything.
Core had been sitting leaning against the twig of a tree that managed to grow despite the snow and rock, while Sans sat at the edge with his legs dangling, his slippers off so he didn’t lose them over the deep ravine below.
“Hello Death,” Core greeted, “I wasn’t expecting you to join us.”
“Oh, I’m so hurt.” Death dramatically brought a hand to his forward, falling backward before teleporting over next to Core with a pout on his face, “It’s no fun without you in Omega ya’know...”
“Mhm, I have duties to attend to here, as I’ve already told you.” Core turned their attention back to their many screens, casually ignoring the Grim Reaper himself.
“Watching some tiny human killing everything? Great duties, pal.” Death leaned back, reclining dangerously over the edge-
“Do you have any self-preservation?” Sans finally spoke up, feeling phantom pains of his soul breaking as he watched Death act so haphazardly.
“Eh Nah, not really...” Death shrugged, looking over his shoulder at the drop below, “Why do ya ask?” The other’s non-existent eye lights seemed to look over at him, “Does this...” He leaned back more, “Scare you…?”
Sans couldn’t think of anything to say, slowly nodding. “Eh, might as well get this over with then-”
Death fell off the side-and his soul dropped, though he couldn’t think of why it would. He hardly knew the other. They hadn’t interacted that much-he had no clue the limits Reaper had, but he was sure that the drop below them could kill anyone…
“Grim, you’re going to kill the poor guy without touching him.” Core chided, not looking up from their screen, “You better explain things properly too.”
“Fine, Fine.” Death’s voice called from behind Sans, who turned around to see Reaper happily flying in place, two giant true black wings behind him, “See something ya like?”
“Not interested at the moment-thanks.”
“At the moment?” Death smirked, circling Sans a few times before landing gracefully on the ledge again. Sans looked off to the side, and thankfully the God was quick to drop it, “Sorry… uh-Well I should probably explain a bit, heh.” He nervously continued, his wings spreading out behind him, most of it dangling off the side of the ledge.
Death cleared his throat and maneuvered his wings-and himself-into a little more comfortable position before continuing, “So, a funny thing about the multiverse, we have different levels and different kinds of Gods. So while Core’s also a God-they have a very different set of abilities than I do...”
Sans sat listening to Death talk for a while, and even through several resets, enamored with the complexities of the multiverse he had barely had a taste of. A bit of it, he even forgot about Frisk and the resets-just simply listening to Death go on about the laws and customs amongst Gods.
Death as it turns out, is a mid-tier God, with a home AU but taking care of the whole multiverse. Everyone from ReaperTale is a mid-tier God, despite Asgore partly being the King of Gods. Due to being a mid-tier, he has greater powers than most, but also a quite limited area of responsibility-granted that taking care of all the dead souls of the multiverse is a large task.
Sans was quick to question this logic, but Reaper simply told him to wait it out, and he’ll explain more.
Below Reapertale are the low-tier Gods, those that come from the religions within the AUs, like the myths of Posideon and Hades that Sans had heard of through Lust. Their power is strictly limited to their AU, and they work alongside the other Gods in their AU. They are all left blissfully unaware of the Gods outside of their universe and are more a baseline to explain the difference between the levels of types of Gods.
Then Above Reapertale are the high tier Gods, the ones who control large portions of the multiverse, and there are even more levels within the high tier. The only real criteria being to have multiple “elements” of the multiverse under your single control. Currently, Core being one of the two high-tiers in existence.
Reaper also spoke of the other high tier God, the Deity of Emotion Nim-sometimes even referred to as the tree of feelings. Although because they are Dryad, the only real way to see them is to visit their AU.
“Doubt I’ll ever get to meet them then...” Sans sighed, prompting an odd look from Death:
“Whaddaya mean by that?”
“Well, Frisk has been at this Genocide for years-I haven’t left the underground in even longer. Probably won’t see the surface for longer than that… or the stars...” Sans trailed his eyelights dimming and slowly going out a reflection of his mood.
Slowly, gently, Reaper moved his wings to cup Sans’ skull, tilting his head up. The latter looked up to be greeted with a single eyelight in Death’s sockets, a sincere look on his face.
Looking up into Death’s eye, he understood humanity's fascination with death-he was far from bad looking.
“Sorry, I can’t really touch you-and I’m not all too good at this comforting stuff- but...” Death was slowly leaning in seeming excited, “I could tell ya more about the AUs out there if ya like? Maybe take you to them one day-? I could even show you my realm-”
Suddenly they were nearly nose to nose, and Reaper stopped, realizing himself. The God was quick to reel himself back, and quickly apologized-his eye going out.
“...That sounds nice.” Sans finally smiled, chuckling at how happy Death looked.

Got not tagged but saw this meme and wanted to do it :D
I tag @namekian-maoh and whoever else wanna try!
How many works do you have on AO3?
56 so far.
What’s your total AO3 word count?
600021 at this moment... damnit, I like nice and round numbers more XD
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
29 XD well, some are crossover and some are almost-the-same (especially with Video games where I often take multiple entires in a series into account and tag them accordingly)
As for my fandoms:
Video games: Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Among Us, Bowser's Fury, Deltarune, Don't Starve, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Final Fantasy XV, Luigi's Mansion, Mario & Luigi RPG, Monkey Island, Pikmin, Pocket Monsters | Pokemon, Super Mario & Related Fandoms, Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Paper Mario, Undertale, (+ AU of Undertale)
Comic/Cartoon/Manga/Anime: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh! (All Media Types), Homestuck, Gravity Falls, DCU (Comics), Booster Gold (Comics),  Blue Beetle (Comics)
Books/Movies/Divers: Harry Potter, Mystery Skulls Animated, Olsen-banden | The Olsen Gang (Movies), Ties of Lapis (Skyrim-AU),
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. PTA Sans and other glorious things       
73016 words, 3192 Kudos, so far my most successful work XD It’s still ongoing. Undertale Fanfic, Monster-on-the-Surface, True Pacifist Ending, PTA AU, SansxToriel in the Background, everybody is here, mostly happy, silly and only a small dose of angst from time to time. Later chapters with more story.
2. TrioBlasterSets AU - Six puppys and 3 flames                 
270813 word, 758 Kudos. I write this AU together with @namekian-maoh . Still ongoing. Undertale Baby-Blaster AU with some Underfell and Underswap thrown into it. Dadby, Badster, mostly family fluff and dealing with the experiment!gaster-blaster Background of 3 skeleton children. Also 3 flames who take care of them that have way more drama going on themselves than nessessary. Chapters are not in chronological order. Has a few Spin-offs too (including some NSFW oneshorts about the flames and their relationship ;) )
3. So I won't regret another day 
19214 words, 320 Kudos. Undertale Underfell AU, Underfell Sansby with some healthy relationships, the planning of a revolt against an insane king, monster still being monster and not really made for violence in an violent setting. If officially finished but I write new chapters when the fancy strikes me.
4. Grillby's                 
9894 words, 265 Kudos. Deltarune/Undertale fanfic with a Spin, named Plushyrune (aka Deltarune where eveything is the same, just with Sansby and Sans makes plushies). Started as just pure silly fluff, kinda got a plot now about the kids of Deltarune. Still ongoing, new chapter is 80% done ;)
5. Something old, something new... 
6579 words, 208 Kudos. Pure Post-Pacifist Surface Sansby fluff. Mostly from Grillby’s POV how they fall in love and be silly and in love. Still ongoing, haven’t really had to mojo to write more for it lately, but I WILL return at some point.
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I try to! I used to not comment on comments because I had this irrational feeling of “cheating the numbers” if I reply to comments but... screw that, I want to interact with people! So I try to answer any and all comments now :)
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Ufff, for me it’s a tie between The last chip  and Laughter in the Darkness. The Last Chip is a Yu-gi-Oh! Fanfic in a series of Kaiba spiraling downwards after the Manga/Anime ended and sets up the events of Dark Site of Dimensions. It ends pretty much with Kaiba ending up getting borderline suicidal in his Obsession with the Pharaoh.
Laughter in the Darkness is the Epilog I wrote for my Gravity Falls x Amnesia Crossover where Ford is pretty much an Amnesia-Protagonist and archives the very worst ending for himself. Mind the tags if you read this. It ends with Ford at the lowest possible point for himself and its open ended if he is going fully insane or if Bill Chiper really is still around. (and it’s not clear what outcome is the better one)
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Nah, not really. I am a chill writer in my own little corners of the fandom and most people leave me alone. I did get one “But Queer is a SLUR” comment way back in the day where it was still all “????” to say that out loud. But otherwise? Nah. I am not important enough for hate, lol.
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
I have XD Not much thou. I wrote so far an mastubation scene with the one going down on himself heavily NOT BEING ALRIGHT while doing so XD Other than that I have 2 NSFW Undertale fics with some hot flame-on-flame action. I do like writing not-standard-sex (as in Sex that doesn’t requite human genitila) Otherwise I like to hint or describe feelings more than the act itself. More lime than lemon ;)
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. As I said, I am not important enough for that.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I had some ppl asking for permission to translate (which of course) but as far as I know there are no translations out there as of yet.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yeah, I am writing the TrioBlasterSet AU with @namekian-maoh I did Co-write some fics way back during my fanfiction.de time too but that’s a long time ago.
What’s your all time favorite ship?
I ship a lot and am a dirty multishipper XD I have to many ships to really call one out as my favorite.
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
TrioBlasterSets AU because there is always MORE to tell with this AU XD
What are your writing strengths?
I am the Queen of Worldbuilding and Crossovers baby!
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Only do it if you have a REALLY good reason for it AND if you have a good gasp on the language. Like, nothing takes me out of a fic faster than reading stuff in horrible German written by people who were to lazy to just copy/paste the word from google translate (my time in the Apollo Justice fandom has seriously scared me. It’s Fräulein, not Fraulein or Fraülein! Also you can’t just swap ei and ie around THOSE ARE DIFFERENT SOUNDS! als we have the letter ß it’s a shap s sound you can’t just use/not use it as you please!)
Also in 90% of all cases it’s just not nessessary. Write what you wanna write, TELL us it was said in a different language OR let the POV character just tell us their hear something said in an other language they couldn’t understand.
What I want to say is: Have some respect of the language you want to use!
-
What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?
I THINK it was Harry Potter? IDK I wrote a cringy Star Trek Parodie when I was like 14 or so and those OCs went through a lot from that time on forward but Idk if that even counts XD
-
What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?
The Game of Our Life It’s a series of Mario x Homestuck Fics I wrote before Undertale came along and swept me away XD I love all my fics of course but this one was the first really big one I finished on english and it was the one I am most proud of of the world-building. It has angst, it has lore, my writing style was just really developing there and I am just proud of it. (Also it’s very self-indulging so yeah XD love it a LOT)

6, 8, 11, 17, 18, 30, 34, 35, 39, 40
THE STRUGGLE IS SO REAL YOU GET IT
6. are there any other preexisting characters that inspired an OC?
does real life dr**m count as a character. i mean ig since he wants his fanbase to ship himself w ppl so badly
to actually answer the question. i'm sure all of them have super subtle inspirations that i sort've subconsciously added on without really knowing it but specifically:
- the main 4 used to all be undertale ocs before i rebooted them and they still have very vague references to the aus i created them for. i don't really wanna mention which cuz just thinking about it makes me lowkey nauseous but it's definitely there
- similarly c4's based on grillby from undertale and c4 and java's dynamic is based on grillby's and sans's
- given how much avatar the last airbender inspires the pacing and writing style i wouldn't be suprised if requiem isn't at least partially inspired by the idea of the avatar (particularly with the idea of being a bridge between the spirit world [gods' and good/evil spirits' plane of existence] and the physical world [earth])
- like i said there's probably a lot of subtle references that even i don't know about djfkdhdk those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head
8. is there a certain song or playlist of songs you have that make you think of an OC/your story for them?
- here comes a thought from steven universe reminds me a lot of ruby/java
- regular lake and reviator lake make me think of swift and python respectively. these two songs make me very mentally ill
- fun fact! vysel was the result of me listening to lifetime achievement award by lemon demon on loop a trillion times and thinking "hey. what if that was an oc". but also kicks by barns courtney fits him so so so so so very well it makes me go stupid
- i just did a bad thing by bill wurtz also reminds me python which is funny cuz it sounds so Not like python but it just. works (particularly with the line "i just did a bad thing, i've ruined everything, and i've let the things i've ruined ruin me")
- dasher by gerard way also reminds me of java unfortunately. i think java would like gerard way nd probably mcr in general too lmao
- i could also sit here and talk about jack stauber all day but no one wants to hear that so let's move on lol
11. which character has been through the most design changes?
swift. easily. she used to took so different (and so worse tbh) it's crazy
ok remember earlier how i mentioned that the main 4 used to be undertale ocs. swift used to be from a completely different au. and her role/personality was completely different too. again i don't wanna go into details cuz i don't wanna remember my ut phase Ever but like. she used to have gray as a main color n shit and god her old design looked so ugly lmao
the main 4 all used to look so so different tbh. all of them has different clothes and stuff cuz i made their designs in motherfucking g*cha l*fe cuz i couldn't draw yet. (they all used to be part cat part demon btw. did i mention that i made these guys when i was 10.) but swift was the only one who went through a complete design overhaul cuz their design was That dogshit
(python does get an honorable mention in this regard because it used to be a girl but then i changed it cuz i had too many girl ocs. he transitioned in universe AND irl go figure)
17. who is your favorite OC?
ruby lol. i think it helps that she's the first ever oc i made period but also she just,,, ouhdjdhdjdh i really really like her design even though it's not the most interesting but she's so so so so friend shaped i wanna give her a hug irl. i project onto her the hardest so i feel very personally close to her too, she's the person i wanna be when i grow up. she's very easy to draw too, i don't have to force myself to draw her like i do my other ocs (not that i don't like drawing my other ocs but ruby is the one i go to the most when i have art block). and she's just a lil silly and she laughs and i don't make her wallow in her own sad backstory so when she really gets sad it feels so real and just thinking about her gives me the warm fuzzies :) i like her so much
18. who is your least favorite OC?
vysel. holy fucking shit. out of every oc i've ever made (for this universe of otherwise) i think he's the only one where i've actively given him next to no redeeming qualities cuz he doesn't deserve any. i don't wanna make him symathetic i want him to fucking die. his entire meta purpose is for me to vent how much i fucking hate e-celebs and how much i wanna see them fail. that's why he dies twice in the story he's just that fucking terrible
i do think he's fun to draw and write and i really like his contrast with python character-wise and how much influence he has over basically half the world and i REALLY like how java has a "don't meet your heros" moment with him but like. personality-wise i think i made him a little too hateable for my own good but. wtv it's ok
30. which OC has been the hardest to develop/design so far?
i remember vysel and especially swift were hard to design but i'd have to go with requiem. they're design is nooot veryy interestingg atm and while i have a good idea of how they fit into the story n such i just. i don't know how to write them. at all. and i never feel like focusing on them either so i'm stuck in perpetual hell lol
i think writing specific scenes with them in it would probably help but then that means getting into "season 2" of the story and s2 is a lawless land LMFAO
34. what scene that you've written/imagined is your favorite?
(okay here's the part where i go too way to hard in on responding lol)
python/vysel confrontation scene my heart goes out to you
it's set in the middle of the story and it sets the tone for both vysel's character and is basically the launch point for python's arc and like. it's the point where the story goes "oh shit we're getting serious now" and it sets the tone for the back half of season 1 and. please whoever's up there give me the strength to write this i'll go absolutely batshit
without fully spoiling everything building up to that moment, i do wanna say that python isn't a bad guy. not at all. but...
y'know. when you leave your life of endless work and ridicule from almost everyone around you, only to be forced to marry someone you don't even know at 14 (when it was born the world didn't see a problem with doing that). so you leave in hopes to find somewhere you can truly you call home, scamming and bartering for everything you have along the way.
and the you finally find that place, and you think that you'll actually be happy for once. and then some guy who doesn't know a thing about what you've been through makes you the laughingstock of the city. and you're fucking done being pushed around and forced to leave cuz everyone thinks you're a freak who doesn't deserve happiness.
so you stop the problem at its source.
and the audience and the rest of the characters don't know ANY of that shit. all they know is this: up until that point you see basically no genuine emotion from python, he just jokes and insults everyone around it and hopes that they hate him enough to never ask any personal questions. and everyone is used to that by that point. but then you see the anger, the heartbrokeness, the hell on its face when he sees the flyer and the characters don't understand why or what vysel even did but when python looks at them and says that this fucker has to die they know better than to try and stop him. and. and fuckenkasbwkdhwkevwkdhekev i go absolutely bonkers
i wanna save what's actually in the scene for another time though. i think it's better if the characters tell you what happened, not me.
if i ever do write it i'm posting it instantly this is the one aspect of the story i can confidently say i'm proud of
35. which OC would beat you up if they met you IRL?
vysel. i don't care that he's a whole foot taller than me i'm kicking his ass i'm grinding him into sawdust
39. what's your favorite part to draw on a certain character?
i love drawing ruby's lil dangling star earrings. i used to not draw her earrings but now that i have i'm not going back jfkdfhfkfh they're just so fun and they're so her yk
40. what's your least favorite part to draw on a certain character?
idrk? i designed all my ocs with the intention of being fun to draw
i have been wanting to do a map of python's body markings and that hasn't been very fun. i feel like i'm very very close to making them look like how i imagined them to look but it's been slow going unfortunately so there's that
and that's it WOO
