If you are still taking requests... any papyrus with a stuffed animal? (my first thought was Edge, or Dusk, because both deserve soft comfy things)

I have the biggest soft spot for fell papyri w/ plush you are SO correct

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

PAPYRUS! HE SMELLS LIKE THE MOON.

[xem-ity]

toby fox is such a good storyteller when it comes to suspense and relief. it’s like he was made for this one specific purpose he’s that good

i was thinking about sans and the theory that he comes from deltarune, and how toby managed to keep the suspense of not knowing that for years. he planned it all the way back in undertale, giving us clues we had nothing to do with at the time, the idea that sans came from somewhere else rather than the undertale world was in our minds, but we had nothing to associate it with.

then chapter 1 of deltarune dropped and just seeing sans exist in this world, suddenly things started feeling plausible. the simple act of him being there made the clues fall into place, but everything was still fuzzy enough that we weren’t really sure.

then come chapter 2 and we see the way he interacts with toriel, and the theory becomes so much sadder. if he really did come from deltarune, then he lost everything he knew (except maybe his brother, but we don’t even know that). in undertale, after learning toriels name at the end of the pacifist route, he immediately starts calling her “tori” as a nickname. it seems a little odd to have a nickname already for someone you just learned the name of, but it makes sense if he came from a world where he knew her without the door as a barrier.

then, chapter 4.

chapter 4.

spoilers from here on out because there is a moment in chapter 4 that any theorist needs to experience blind.

we get some more sans shenanigans during the first light world segment, and maybe even a bit of evidence he can teleport? (then again maybe he’s just walking between rooms like rouxls) but nothing really special.

the real first kicker is being able to look inside his house later on, when it begins to rain. everything inside seems just as it is in undertale, almost exactly it seems, though it is “a bit messy”. how papyrus would allow this is strange and very intriguing, but that’s for another post.

however, the moment i really wanted to talk about is at the end of chapter 4. after the adventure is over and you’re overloaded with feelings. you walk out of the church, mind full of theories and ideas about what’s going to happen next, and susie says that “it smells nice, after the rain”

then the first chord plays

the first chord of a melody you know, that you know

you’re transported back, in time, in place, your vision becomes distant. no way toby did this. you immediately understand the implication, immediately understand what has just been all but confirmed. for so long you’ve theorized about what the “somewhere else” in “it’s raining somewhere else” means. it might’ve been deltarune, but it might’ve been something else entirely.

the substance of the “sans came from deltarune world” theory hinged on just one extra clue. one single connection between the two worlds and the two sanses. that’s what created the tension and suspense behind the theory.

one single chord, and it was like a rubber band snapped. the release of 10 year old tension was unlike anything i’ve ever felt playing a video game.

toby fox u are a god, a genius & i cannot wait for chapter 5.

there are still theories to be resolved, and i know toby will release all of that 10 year old tension by the end of this game.

Skeletwins Crying Headcanons

Sans/Lento:

He... doesn't really cry??? Not much anyway.

There's only two instances where he would actually cry in a sad way. The first instance is in the midst of sensory overload. Meltdowns are not fun. He hates it when he starts crying in the middle of one, especially if it's in public. He would always, ALWAYS find a place where he can cry privately. It's okay if it's with Papyrus, though. He doesn't care if Papyrus sees him cry.

The second instance is... you know when you're really gosh darn stressed, and you go into this survival mode like you're trying to ride out history's worst storm, or like the end of the world, and when you make it out the other side, you're filled with so much relief you start crying? It's sort of like that. Being able to cry after the storm is over. It's really cathartic, actually. Again, Sans prefers to cry alone or with Papyrus. He hates crying in front of others.

Other than those two scenarios, Sans doesn't cry. He's generally a really calm person on the outside. He doesn't like letting his emotions take control of him. That doesn't mean he's not emotional sometimes. He definitely, definitely is. When he cares, he cares really deeply. He just doesn't express his emotions by crying, and that's okay.

When he cries, he's almost silent. Small sniffles, tiny whimpers, sobs that sound like hiccups... If you're not looking at him, you can't really tell if he's crying or not. For all you know, he might even be laughing hysterically, since his hysterical laugh sounds similar to his crying. Not that he would let you look at him while he's crying. He'd likely book it outta there before you even get close to him. I think you get the point. It's more noticeable when he's having a meltdown, but him crying would be the least of your concerns. You'd probably be more focused on him scratching his skull like a feral cat, to put it bluntly.

Once he's done crying, you wouldn't be able to tell he even was crying in the first place. No skin means no puffy eyes, no red face, no nothing. Like... back to normal, I suppose! It's almost scary how easily he snaps out of it.

Oh yeah, there is one more instance where he would cry. Happy tears. Like when he's full of pride or just gotten an extremely thoughtful gift or when he feels truly loved. It's rare, but it's adorably touching when it does happen. Though his happy tears are quite different to his sad tears. By that, I mean he'll blub like a baby when he's like that. It's hilarious, but embarrassing.

Papyrus/Presto:

It's relatively easy to make him cry. Usually it's in an exaggerated, overly dramatic way, but Papyrus is incredibly emotional and small triggers can make him cry when he's in the right mood.

He cries during movies, he cries when he steps on a bug, he cries when someone gets a wonderful gift for him, he cries when the dog knocks over his spaghetti... Sometimes you have to wonder, is this dude okay?

Luckily, Papyrus is generally a very happy, confident person and he doesn't let insults affect him. It's only minor things that get the waterworks going, which is both hilarious and worrying. Sans is used to it, though.

Believe it or not, he was even MORE of an emotional crybaby as a kid. If he wasn't the first kid to cry about any little thing, he definitely cried when another kid started crying. That's just how he was.

Nowadays, he doesn't do it that much anymore. Apart from when it's Sans. When Sans cries, Papyrus cries. And then they feed into each other's tears because Sans gets more upset than Papyrus is crying and Papyrus gets more upset that Sans is crying more and it's all a big mess OH GOD SOMEONE HELP THEM-

Papyrus' tears are a mess. You know that googly-eyed crying sprite? Imagine that but more, if that makes sense. Waterfalls of tears, tears not only spraying out of his eye sockets, but also his nasal cavity and the loudest Papyrus sobbing you've ever heard. I swear, tears cascading out his eyes like waterfalls. That sprite's not even the half of it.

He can have quite the mood swings, so Papyrus' crying stops as quickly as it starts. He could be crying for ten minutes because he stepped on a ladybug, but as soon as Sans reassures him and offers to get him some nice cream, Papyrus immediately stops crying like, "OKAY!!! :D"

For some reason, he doesn't cry much when stressful, depressing things happen in his life, like major traumatic events. Instead, he tries harder to stay happy and optimistic, even going so far as to... You know what he does. Maybe he'd shed a few tears when he's had it, but he has his friends and his family to help him through it. And that's all he ever needed.

[osleeplessflowero]

I figured it's time to bring back Classic Sans for a oneshot. Haven't posted about him since Stargazing! My very first Sans oneshot and Undertale oneshot as a whole. - Reader is Gender Neutral as always! Their SOUL type is up to you. - This is a good way to tie these oneshots to another series of mine :)

It's quiet..before a breeze fills your ears. Your senses are overloaded with sound. Soon you can feel the breeze too, gently hitting your skin as you slowly open your eyes and move your hands over the grass beneath you.

How long had you been asleep? What happened? Did you miss anything? Your head is spinning..

A familiar voice pulls you out of your thoughts softly, calmly. Just like he always does.

"heya. glad to see you're back." He greets you with a smile once you look over, just as he always does. You can't help but smile too. Sitting up, you scoot a bit closer to him and abruptly drop your head on his shoulder, to his surprise. "woah there, what's this all about?" He raises a browbone as he looks down at you, feeling your arm move behind his back so you can awkwardly hug him.

"How long was I asleep?" You ask, getting straight to the point. He looks back up, focusing on the rising sun before the two of you. "not much time has passed here since you fell asleep. or, i guess you could say we fell asleep, huh?" He chuckles. "guessing you've had lots of opportunities to explore. i couldn't imagine doing all that."

"..Yeah." You think about places you've been, your consciousness moving about through different timelines and possibilities. It is only right here, in this space, that you can truly remember things..and where you originally came from. You've certainly seen a lot of interesting figures recently. All of them being different variants of Sans, and even his brother, Papyrus. The same two, just..in various different fonts.

"it's kinda weird, when i think about it." You turn to look at him. "how there's so many other mes just..hangin' around in other timelines. that even the smallest decision can make an entirely new form, a new me. up to the point where..it's like i'm a whole other person. they're sorta..physical "what if"s. aaand prove that the timeline theory is real..so..that's complicated. i guess i can see why you like to go see them all. curiosity."

"..Yeah..it's..like a new adventure each time." You earn a nod from him, before you sit up and move so you're in front of him, placing your hands at the sides of his legs. "But..just so we're clear, that doesn't mean I want to see you any less, Sans. You're still you, the original you, that..that I fell for in the beginning." Heat rises to your cheeks, burning even warmer as you watch a shade of blue make its way onto the skeleton's cheekbones to match.

"i mean, i understand if you prefer some variations of me more. i'm not gonna take it personally-" You cut him off, placing your hand on his left cheekbone. He freezes like a deer in the headlights, his eyesockets relaxing a little as he leans into your touch almost instinctively.

"Just because I like to see other outcomes it doesn't mean I'll love you any less. I refuse to leave you behind. I won't leave Paps behind either. I promise."

"seems like a pretty big promise. sure you can keep it?" "I'm absolutely sure." You lean forward, pressing your forehead against his own. "No matter what..you'll always remain in my heart, Sans. The true you, I mean." "why settle for me when you can have so many other mes?" He raises a browbone, a soft smile on his face. "At the end of the day it was the two of you that my heart belonged to first. Nothing will change that." His face is now a prettier, brighter shade of blue..you can't help but smile, seeing him like this.

"You're not making puns." "it's not the time for that." He averts his eyelights, earning a chuckle from you. You lightly tap his cheek. "C'mon..look at me." "i dunno.." "Please?" "what if i fall for you all over again?" You smile. "I'd be alright with that."

He turns his eyelights to you, unable to look away the moment he does. You can hear his breath hitch, the lights shifting into little heart shapes the moment he blinks. "..Can I?..Or would that be too forward?-" You mutter, your face heating up again at the thought. "just get over here, you." He puts his arms around your waist, pulling you a little closer so you can make contact yourself.

You lean forwards, pressing your lips against his teeth..feeling yourself becoming lost in the moment. Your heart pounds in your ears, your faces both madly flushed as you embrace each other's company. Eventually you have to break the kiss for air, softly regaining your breath as he stares at you with admiring eyes. He reaches up his hands, placing them on the sides of your face now. The cool feeling both calms your nerves and makes you even more flushed. "you alright being stuck with me? with us, even?" "Always. Don't ever question that." You smile, earning a grin from him in return as you hear footsteps approaching in the distance.

"There You Two Are! I've Been Looking Everywhere For You!" Papyrus comes to a stop before you, pressing his hands on his hips with his all-too-familiar grin. A few seconds pass before he takes in your states, a smug look crossing his face. "Am I Interrupting Something?"

"nah, you got here just in time. right?" Sans lightly nudges you, earning rapid nods from you in return. If you let him hear your voice tremble or crack you would quite literally die inside.

"so, what's up? something going on?" He asks, putting an arm around you. "I Thought You Might Want To See Our New Neighbors! They Are Quite The Interesting Bunch. And..Oddly Familiar Looking.."

You and Sans give each other a knowing look. "You don't think?.." "awfully convenient timing, universe." "Might as well make a good first impression, huh?"

[haveyouseenthisskeleton]

what woud they do if their S/O had a cuteness agression overload? idk how to describe it but if they were just cuddling or smf and their S/O got so happy that they hugged them tightly, REALLY tightly and like started giggling and screaming from happiness? how woud they react plz tell me i have a lot of these stuff happening

Undertale Sans - He jumps a bit at the sudden movement, just blinking at you in confusion. Uh, ok, yeah, he can cuddle. Can you just not crush his ribs, please? He needs them to breathe and stuff, you know. Sans doesn't mind much other than that, he's not that cuddly, but he lived with Papyrus his entire life so he's used to it.

Undertale Papyrus - Your excitement excites him even more and now he's doing the same with you. Papyrus has a lot of cuteness aggression too, so he doesn't mind. He was already a bit like that when you met him, because of Undyne, but now both of you are encouraging him so who is he to resist? He loves hug!

Underswap Sans - He whines, annoyed, and starts to wiggle his legs in the emptiness as you're holding him like a big cat under the arms, hugging him tightly. Please, he's begging you, let him go. He's not mean enough to push you away, but he definitely looks like a grumpy old man right now. He doesn't like hugs, that's a waste of time.

Underswap Papyrus - He tenses in surprise and shock, startled, before relaxing when it turns out you actually just want a hug. A very tight hug, right, but still a hug. You know you can just ask, right? If you missed him that much, he could come to cuddle with you in bed, you don't have to tackle him like a rugbyman.

Underfell Sans - It depends on what state you are in your relationship. If it's the beginning, he will bite your arm to force you to let go, and probably be mad at you for the rest of the day. After a few months though? He's just resigning to his fate. You can hear him sigh loudly as you kiss his skull everywhere and squeeze him like a teddy bear, but he doesn't do anything to stop you either. He guesses that's his life now.

Underfell Papyrus - Like Red, he tends to growl often the first few times, unhappy, but then after several months of this, he just rolls his eyes at you and sighs, not doing anything to escape your crushing arms. He still growls from time to time to show he's definitely the one in control here to please his gigantic ego, but you know it's all a facade and it doesn't have any effect on you.

Horrortale Sans - He whimpers pitifully as you're crushing his neck. Oak would never be that tolerant with anyone else and you know that, and maybe you're taking a little too much advantage of the situation. He likes hugs, but he's not a big fan of you jumping randomly at his face, it often startles him. But when he realizes it's just a hug, he immediately calms down and goes back to normal. Still, be careful to not play with fire too much as there's one day where he might punch you out of surprise lol.

Horrortale Papyrus - He grimaces in pain every time, as it hurts his spine. He would prefer if you rather not jump on him. One or twice is fine, but after that, he might stop you midway by making you faceplants into his hand. He doesn't feel particularly sorry either about it.

Swapfell Sans - He hisses, then chomps your arm with his very pointy teeth. The more you insist, the harder he bites. Nox doesn't like being tackled out of nowhere and will let you know. Usually, he's pouting a few hours after that, and giving you long intense dark stares for a good week every time you're getting too close. No touchy.

Swapfell Papyrus - At your own risk. Rus loves that so much that you actually trained him to do it as well. Except Rus is twice your size and twice your strength too. So yeah, the first time he tackles you on the couch, emptying your lungs as he hits you, it's going to be a surprise. Rus loves to play violent games, but maybe a little too much so be careful.

Fellswap Gold Sans - He does a dramatic slow turn to you with the most "WTF" expression you have ever seen him do.

You decide it's best to slowly let him go if you want to survive another day. Wine is not cuddly. And he's wearing expensive clothes. Do that again and he yeets you by the window.

Fellswap Gold Papyrus - When you come running to him, screaming, he freaks out and starts to run for his life as well, screaming at the top of his lungs lol. You startle him. Good luck tackling him without him screaming like he's getting murdered now.

[battlemaiden13]

Speaking of bitties/bitty what if their SO became one day (reader is small the skeletons are regular size) how would they react to that/treat their SO?

Sans -He’s a lot more intuitive and protective than you would think but does both in a very subtle way. He makes sure you are by his side the entire day so that you don’t get squished or anything and you find him grabbing or doing things for you before you even need to ask. It’s a very chill day though and you don’t get up too much mainly because Sans won’t let you out of his sight. 

Papyrus -It’s a bit of a struggle. He’s having trouble calculating what you can do by yourself now and what you may need help with. He also is a tad rough with you before he realizes it may be hurting you.  The two of you survive the day and it actually has encouraged Papyrus to slow down a little and assess the situation.

Red -Is very protective of you. He won’t let you leave his side and growls if other people get too close. You think he’s going a bit over the top but you're so small now he is seriously stressed out that something is going to happen to you. 

Edge -Is also very protective over you but allows you a bit more freedom. He doesn’t like letting you out of his sight but he does let you walk around on your own at least. He still refuses to let you do things by yourself and insists that you need help with everything. 

Blue -Is very overbearing. He won’t really let you do anything by yourself as he’s so stressed something horrible will happen to you. It’s very stressful but he won’t really listen as his anxiety is through the roof. Better to just go with whatever he has planned. 

Orange - Insist the two of you have a very chill day. He is more stressed than he’s letting on, worried something is going to happen to you but he doesn’t let this show. The two of you have a movie day and he helps you throughout without being too overbearing. 

Berry - Leaves you to your own devices really. He gets you things to help but he doesn’t step in unless you ask him to. He was often babies because of his height and he doesn’t want you to feel like he doesn’t believe in you so he takes a step back but he’s there if you need him. 

Syrup -He might die of a cuteness overload. He just holds you in his hands for a while blushing and not being able to look at you fully. You are still in charge though. He will do whatever you want and help with whatever you need. You been small for barely a few hours and he’s already treating you like a beloved pet.

35: Chat, I Think He Likes You

♪────✿⁠(⁠✧◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕✧⁠)✿⁠────♪

It’s been fucking hours, you know it has been! Hours of searching around the forest of downtown Snowdin and you couldn’t find shit!

You were useless since you couldn’t detect anything without magic. Sans and S-Papyrus were playing “Hot or Cold” trying to locate the source of this irritating feeling that was messing with their magic. But alas, their search came up empty.

Sans was kind enough to explain it to you to the best of his abilities on the walk back.

“imagine if there was a constant high pitch noise in your ear that was loud enough for you to constantly hear, but quiet enough that it can still blend in the background. but the sound is also at a terrible pitch anyway. but not only that–have you ever listened to music with the bass so high, that you can feel the vibration in your chest? and, imagine swallowing cotton balls. no matter how much water you drink to get rid of it, there’s always gonna be a few lints clinging inside your throat.”

“…”

You’re fucking thankful you can’t feel it. That’s such a sensory overload–it’s horrible just trying to imagine it!

“yeah,” Sans laughed at your expression, “all of that happening at the exact same time. that’s what it’s like. but instead of physically dealing with it, it’s like all of those sensations are caused emotionally. for us monsters, especially monsters like me, our magic is insanely tuned with our feelings. that’s the best i can do for you.”

“Brother, eugh.”

No wonder S-Papyrus has been on edge lately. If he really has been in this area this whole time for weeks trying to look for the source, you’d be fucking murderous.

It got to the point where even Sans was walking at a distance from you on the way back to S-Papyrus’ home. He said he was too overwhelmed and didn’t want to hurt your feelings on accident.

Reasonable crash out, honestly.

The walk home is quiet and carries an air of defeat. You’re all tired and can use a good night's sleep to cry about it while you snooze. You’re not looking forward to sleeping in the Capture Zone if you’re being real. Maybe you can somehow convince S-Papyrus to at least let Sans sleep in the living room if nothing else.

As you’re nearing the house, you spot a few monsters here and there, smiling and waving when they look at you. You don’t recognize any of them, they must’ve been switched with the others that you’re familiar with.

Aw, wait!

You almost stop walking but force yourself to keep going.

Fucking… Grillby’s Restaurant…

Passing by it, you read “Muffet’s” on the sign instead of the fire-man’s name.

Man…

Wait, so does that mean that Grillby would technically be the one who has a boss fight in this Au? That’s kind of hot if you think about it. You’d be down for a feral Grillby, you’d wanna see that.

Finally making it back to the house, Sans is already putting his hand on your wrist, pulling you to the Capture Zone. You assume he wants to just go to sleep already. You want to ask S-Papyrus to let Sans sleep indoors, but judging by the shorter skeleton's mood, he probably doesn’t want to be separated from you right now.

“hey. wait.”

Sans stops at S-Papyrus’ voice however he doesn’t turn around to look at him. You do though, you’ll be his eyes if he’s not going to look. S-Papyrus grimaces while looking at the shed.

“you two… ugh. there isn’t room, but if you’re willing…” Wow, S-Papyrus looks like this is physically painful for him, “you and the other sans can share the living room.”

You light up with a wide smile, nodding before Sans can possibly protest. “Yes! Thank you so much! Sans!”

He begrudgingly turns around, looking right at you.

“Say thank you to Mr. Papyrus.”

“…thanks, man.”

“…don’t mention it.” He grimaces and turns around to open the front door, “literally.”

“already filed and locked away.”

“Awe, you guys are so wholesome,” Sacchariferously and sarcastically, you clap your hands together, “If only we can keep this nice energy forever.”

…The other two are too tired and irritated with today's events to even reply. Dang, tough crowd.

You’re given a single pillow and a single blanket from S-Papyrus. He said something like how Sans doesn’t really need anything since the floor will be comfortable enough for him. Sans couldn’t defend himself from this slander since he was in the washroom to clean himself up. You didn’t say anything, but you already know how you’re going to fix this situation.

“tomorrow, i was planning to go back there to keep searching. that’s why i wanted to sleep in early,” S-Papyrus was telling you suddenly as you were fixing up the couch, “since we’re all going there anyway, i might as well just keep going with you and–him.”

“That’d be great, Papyrus,” You smile at him, “We can use all the help we can get, thank you.”

“ugh, you’re way too nice,” He sighs, rubbing the side of his face, “it makes me wonder…”

“Hm? About what?”

“if there’s gonna be a version of you that’ll show up here. if you did, would she be as nice as you? or am i gonna have something to worry about?”

You falter in your moments. You didn’t consider that at all. Not really. At least, not in the way S-Papyrus has.

If the roles were reversed, would it actually be you who shows up? Or maybe… Would it be your best friend, Elliot? He was technically “with you” the day this happened. You guess in a Swapped Au, Elliot would be in your position instead. But even then, he would just have your personality/role, wouldn’t he?

Oh, God. Would that mean in the Swap Au, Elliot would be dating Sans–no… Papyrus?! Or maybe nothing romantic would happen, but where would that leave you anyway?

This is weird to think about. You’re going to stop thinking about it.

“I wish I had an answer for you, but… I’m not an expert on these things. I quite literally just came along for the ride,” You answer truthfully, but you refuse to turn around. “If for some reason, my counterpart shows up here, I think you’d be in good hands. I can’t imagine a version of myself where I’m violent.”

You refuse to turn around because he would’ve seen just how much of a fucking liar you were. Your LV tells a different story, and you are fully capable of violence–your entire past is violent and gruesome. Were it not for Kōrenki’s involvement, you would probably still be a shit person.

S-Papyrus hums in contemplation. He mumbles a goodnight and just leaves to his room upstairs.

Wow.

Inch resting.

You finish setting up the couch and give it a good look.

[ You’re taller than Sans / You’re about the same height as Sans / Unfortunately you lost the lottery and are somehow shorter than Sans ], but either way, you think if you just cuddle with him, you two can squeeze together on the couch.

Nodding to yourself, you start to undress yourself. You know Sans has completely forgotten by now, but you DID pack for this adventure. Sans had stored it away in that Void of his that you never ask about because that’s too much to think about-

Anyway! You have packed clothes, and you don’t want to sleep in your snow-dirtied clothes. You remove your jacket and are about to take off your shirt too.

“hey!”

You stop and find the source of the whisper-shout. Sans had shortcut to the bottom of the stairs, a blush on his face while narrowing his eyes.

You raise a brow, “Yeees?”

“you weren’t going to seriously strip out here, please tell me you weren’t!”

“It’s not a big deal…” You lower the hem of your shirt anyway because he looks like he’s about ready to fucking shit himself. “By the way, don’t forget you have our stuff in your fucky-wucky shortcut void thingy.”

Sans looks up the stairs, snapping his fingers at the same time. Your duffel bag appears on the couch in one piece. You step to it to pull out your sleep clothes.

“[y/n],” Sans whispers with some anxiety, stepping towards you, “i really don’t wanna be that kind of guy, but please don’t get naked out in the open at someone else’s home.”

Your smile is involuntary: “I think it’s sweet you’re conscientious about these things. I understand though. I’ll be right back, then.”

Sans shoulders drop with relief. Geez, he must’ve been really scared to tell you anything in the first place. You hope it’s not because he thought you would blow up in his face about it. You want him to be comfortable with coming to you about things that make him uncomfortable.

This is gonna be a bumpy road for you, if you’re honest. You got used to being shameless and not being involved romantically with someone else. You have to remind yourself that, while Sans by no means owns your body, you need to be considerate about his feelings when it comes to things like that.

“thanks, i appreciate it.” Sans snaps his fingers again, his own bag appearing next to your duffel bag.

As you walk by him to change in the washroom, you stop to lightly kiss his cheek. “Thanks for telling me, by the way.”

He looks away with a blush and his smile relaxes. “i–yeah. i don’t want to tell you what to do-”

“-No, no. You’re allowed to feel this way if it bothers you,” You reassure him, “And really, I need to get used to being with someone again. So… You know, if I do shit that really bothers you, I’d rather you tell me so I don’t keep doing it and make it worse.”

Your sweet boy nods, looking at you with bigger eye-lights. It reminds you of a cat when they’re looking at the human that they love so much.

…Sans is like your kitty…

“okay, i’ll try. and you’ll tell me too, okay? i’m far from the perfect partner, i know i’ll fuck shit up sometimes, too.”

You shake your head and continue up the stairs, “I think you’re doing pretty good so far, Sans. Besides, trial and error are all part of a relationship. Sunshine all the time makes a desert, and all that jizz.”

Sans was going to reply with his own cheesy ass quote, but that last part threw him off.

“don’t you mean jazz?”

“….Anyway, I gotta change.”

Dang.

Sans is now left with your final jizz as you hurry to the washroom.

He changes into cleaner clothes as well, feeling icky from all that walking around today. This is a lot more labor than he’s used to since he loves doing absolutely nothing. Of course that changes when you have someone important in your life to mix it up.

Sans can’t say he hates it, not at all.

This day though…

Ugh, it’s such a fucking mess.

Immediately getting caught by this Au’s version of himself, having tension between Swap-Papyrus, and keeping a constant eye on you to make sure you’re okay… It takes a lot out of a skeleton, believe it or not.

Having the Judge role, of course, S-Papyrus will be the most suspicious of them. It makes your journey more complicated, but Sans hasn’t been fighting it for one reason. Two reasons, actually, since you brought it up earlier.

Sans does not believe in coincidences. If getting caught happened so soon after their arrival, then it must be because it was meant to happen. And now on top of that, you’re so insistent that you shouldn’t be hiding the true motives from their counterparts because of this “strange feeling” you have.

Considering you’re also a key in all this, Sans must rely on your intuition as well. Even if trusting someone other than himself (and Papyrus) scares the fucking hell out of him.

Sans has faith in his ability to keep you safe, at least. If all else fails, he can keep you safe.

Not that it’s completely necessary. Today he learned that you’re, apparently, decent enough around a fight. Well no, Sans always figured that you had to be some kind of fighter with that insane strength of yours. Having it confirmed is a whole other thing.

Man, Sans really wants to check out your soul to look at your stats. He’s so fucking curious. Ah, but not that curious. He’s not sure if he can handle the idea of someone loving and trusting him enough to willingly show him their soul.

Someone as great as you showing your soul to him just because you love him…

Sans allows himself to daydream it for a few seconds.

It leaves him red and embarrassed to hell and back. He needs to take a seat on the couch to pull himself together.

What a lovely thought, though…

Sans flinches at the sound of you coming back downstairs. He stands up and straightens out his shirt. He doesn’t know where the hell he should put his dirty clothes…

Your clothes are already folded, and you simply put them on top of your bag. You move it next to the couch almost like it was routine. Sans supposes that it must be considering you were living on his couch for a month. He kind of feels bad that it took so long for them to decide to move you into his room.

“Hey,” You draw his attention to you, taking his dirty clothes from him, “We’re gonna share the couch, is that okay?”

Sans eyes the piece of furniture, “uh… we can fit if we… uh, are you okay with, you know, cuddling?”

You grin at him. “Hearing you say cute words like that is so funny.”

Why must you always tease him this way?

“how is it funny?”

“‘Cause you got a deep voice. It’s a sexy voice though, you’d make fucking bank doing Boyfriend ASMR videos.”

Sans is already getting used to the fact that his face is going to be blushing around you. He’s made peace with it.

“heh, i like hearing you talk, too. a lot.”

“You’re so cute,” You’ve been folding his clothes this whole time. “Are you ready to sleep, then?”

Sans shakes his head, watching you put his clothes on top of his bag. You move it next to your own bag, making sure it’s neat. You’re so demure. He likes that.

“not yet. i wanna write this all in my journal. i gotta make sure the mini-dj isn’t busted, either.”

You sit down on the couch, “Need any help with the mini-dj?”

He pauses, “do you know how?”

“No, not at all. I just wanna be useful.”

Sans snorts, “you know what would help me a lot?”

You deadpan, already know where this is going. “What?”

The skeleton moves so he’s standing in front of you. He puts a hand on your head and leans over, kissing your forehead sweetly.

“getting some rest,” He says quietly, “you’ve been moving all day, but you fainted earlier, remember? i was worried all day about you.”

You sigh out of your nose in defeat, “Fine. I’ll try sleeping. For you. But you better know how reluctant and disgruntled I am about this.”

“thank you, feeling better already.”

This time, he leans lower to peck your cheek. The action makes you smile like a little bitch, fucking cheesing over here on the damn couch. Sans is a lot nicer than you, he doesn’t tease you about your reaction. Or maybe because his mind is preoccupied with the things he brought up earlier.

You get comfortable on the couch and lay down, pulling the cover over your body to get all cozy. Sans moves to the small table on the left side of the couch where it holds the Quantum Physics joke book. He puts it on the floor so it’s not in the way. Snapping his fingers, he pulls his trusty journal and pen from his Void.

The lights in the house are off, leaving the only source of light from Sans’ face. You know what that is, but tell yourself it’s better if you don’t check for yourself. His scribbling and muttering are soothing in the house.

This house is identical to the one back home, but it still feels like a stranger's home. You’re staring up at the ceiling, have been for the better part of the last 30 minutes.

You can’t fucking sleep. You’re tired too, but you can’t sleep.

You sit up the moment you hear Sans no longer writing. Sans is looking over the mini-dj, but that’s all. Maybe because there isn’t anything wrong with it after all. Feeling your stare, the skeleton turns his head to you.

Oh, wow. He’s not even hiding his glowing eye from you.

His right eye-light is replaced by a ring of swirling cyan and bright yellow. The brightness is enough that it illuminates your face and the wall behind you. It’s not blinding, and you don’t feel scared staring into it like you thought you would be.

It’s beautiful, actually.

He blinks at you with a confused smile, “have you been awake this whole time?”

You nod.

“[y/n]… go to bed.”

Raising your voice without yelling, you demand: “Join me, then.”

Sans simply sighs in defeat. He knows damn well you’re not sleeping without him, and doesn't fight back. He snaps the pen, notebook, and mini-dj away and stands up with a quiet grunt. He makes sure to put the Quantum Physics book to where it was before walking to the couch.

You grin at him while moving the covers, “You’re super light, it’ll be better if you sleep on me.”

Thanks to his glowing eye, you can see his blush and sheepish look easily. “i wanted to be the small spoon, anyway.”

“Yeah, yeah. Come here.”

Sans carefully climbs over you, making sure not to dig into your limps with his bony knees. With magic, you presume, he’s able to rest comfortably on you without his ribs bothering you. Sans adjusts the cover over you two, wiggling slightly to get comfortable.

He kind of feels like a weighted blanket.

It’s nice.

“are you good?” He whispers so softly.

“Mhm,” You wrap your arms around him, “goodnight, baby boy.”

“ugh. goodnight.”

Fucking score!

Closing your eyes, you find that you’re suddenly exhausted. You’re so fucking corny, did you actually need Sans with you for you to sleep? Perhaps you felt safer to sleep with him right here. Or maybe you really did need a weighted blanket.

Whatever the reason it may be, you fall asleep rather quickly this time.

…

…

…

Nothing.

Behind your eyes in the unconsciousness, there’s nothing. Swirls of nothing. Different shades of nothing.

Until there’s something else.

In the depths of the abyss in your unconscious mind, you see a man. A skeleton, in your dreams.

You immediately recognize who this is supposed to be.

“☟︎♏︎●︎●︎□︎📪︎ ☯︎✡︎📭︎■︎☸︎.”

☹︎♏︎t’s fix th♋︎t.

The man who speaks in hands clears his throat. This time when he speaks, you can understand exactly what he is saying.

“Hello, [Y/n].”

Some more swap bro stuff

When they were younger, Papyrus struggled a bit with sensory overload. Sans knew something was wrong whenever Papyrus would get really quiet and scratch at his chin/cheeks, and would work to get him somewhere quieter/calmer as soon as possible. Usually he'd be touch averse for a little while after, which would be rough, because physical soothing was also one of his preferred methods of comfort.

Muffet and Sans have a slightly strained relationship. She helped them out a bit when they first moved to Snowdin, but when Papyrus was older, Sans felt she was a bit of a bad influence on him. They have two very different ideas of what help is.

Papyrus actually always admired the guards, he thought they were cool and reminded him of the heroes in the ragged old comics they fished out of the dump sometimes. He never understood Sans' aversion, but that didn't stop him from feeling frustrated and guilty when Sans joined the guard to help support financially.

Even before the judging ability manifested, Papyrus was about the only one who could tell when Sans was lying. He lied a lot when they were kids. He still does. Papyrus never really asked why, and felt it was too late by the time he realized he did the same.

Similarly to UT and UF, Sans has a significantly worse view of the previous royal scientist than Papyrus does.

Also similar to UT and UF, Papyrus has the bulk of their shared memory problems, which was the original reason behind carrying a notebook with him at all times. Of course, he wound up forgetting it and rarely ever uses it.

Sans far prefers savory foods, while Papyrus prefers sweets. Due to the lack of cooking knowledge, this leads to Sans often putting sweet things in savory dishes in an attempt to cater to both of their tastes, fruit, sugar, candy, etc. The results are not always horrible but they are very very rarely if ever good.

(Sans doesn't bother trying to learn how to bake since Papyrus loves Muffet's stuff so much, and it's usually harder than cooking anyway)

Papyrus, surprisingly, isn't actually entirely clueless about cooking, but pretty much the most complicated thing he knows how to make is grilled cheese (and he still usually burns it at least a little).

Papyrus and Alphys don't get along because Alphys finds him deeply annoying and Papyrus annoys her because he’s kind of spiteful of her, being the one who hired Sans and insisted on "training him" (sees her as condescending).

Sans and Undyne also do not get along because Sans feels she burdens Papyrus with too much when he already has to act as judge (Undyne does not know he's the judge).

Papyrus still thinks anime are cartoons but is more willing to humor Undyne, while Sans actually lowkey thinks anime fucks.

Sans is unintentionally good at flirting but does not want to be in a relationship, while Papyrus is terrible at flirting but still tries even though he also does not want to be in a relationship.

Instead of sprinkles, Papyrus "feeds" the pet rock various candies, like skittles or candy corn.

for me, i am always happy to see au's that stray very far from canon, so long as the author can reasonably sell me on it.

an example that comes to mind is entity aligments from tma. in one tma fic where gerry is the archivist, there was corruption!sasha and slaughter!martin. these built on their existing personalities and made sense in the narrative given!

in conclusion i won't say 'he wouldn't fucking say that' unless no good explanation is given

i can see that! im cool with aus and personality changes as long as im able to track the way these characters change and how the author makes it so

for example if someone wrote a modern day au where they were in a modern ninth cult, but harrows parents had put ortus in charge before killing themselves for some reason -> harrow canonically holds a deep respect for her parents and i think it would be interesting to explore how this respect might clash with her perception of ortus, as well as her acknowledgement of failure to die meaning her parents never intended ortus to hold superiority over her, and then you get to see another strange guardianship dynamic in tlt. of course youd have to ask "why the fuck would they leave ortus in charge why wouldnt ortus just leave if he could" etc etc but i can SEE what the author is exploring and walk with them

i get more frustrated when i dont see the whys and hows because then they just start to seem like different people. i used to be in the undertale fandom but ran out when it started overloading with aus upon aus, because i couldnt get Why people were changing the characters so drastically simply because theyre like. swapped 3 times and inverted. that is no longer papyrus that is processed paper. anyway

So since Carmine is a smol man (affectionate) and you said he really likes physical affection, how does he feel about being picked up? (By s/o or Tank or whoever)

Carmine (Underfell Fruition Sans) is not opposed!

(For context of sizing, with static heights, Carmine is 5'0" even, and Tank is a solid 7'3". With relative heights, Carmine has an inch on you and Tank has two feet and four inches on you)

Generally, he prefers to do most of his getting around independently—there was a damn long while where he wasn’t walking, or running, or even standing, and he’s put a lot of work into making all that happen again—so if he can do it, he wants to.

That said, in the process of that, he’s gotten pretty pragmatic about his limitations, and if there’s something he can’t do himself, he’ll take the helping hand.

Tank (Underfell Fruition Papyrus) was a huge (pun intended) help when Carmine was more unsteady, but even now that he’s up and running at peak capacity, it’s not uncommon for him to get picked up here and there, and he’s pretty used to it. Whenever he’s too short to see something, or he’s overloaded on magic, or he just happens to be in the way, Tank will come along and scoop him and Carmine probably won’t even stop running his mouth long enough to acknowledge it.

He might shut up for a second if it happens to be his partner doing the scooping…but only for a second, and then he’s undoubtedly leaning into them and flirting his smug little face off, as casually as he would from the ground.

Just couldn’t keep your hands off him, huh? Had to take him into your arms and bring him with ya? Well of course, you’re welcome to, he’s aware of the effect he has on people, comes with the territory of being such hot, hot stuff… 😩

………And if you don’t want to drop him after that, well he doesn’t mind being carted around for a bit, as long as he does get put back down eventually. 😉

📖

UnderConscious!

In a timeline of Undertale, one of Ink's vials spills into Papyrus's spaghetti on accident. When he eats it, he gains the ability to travel the multiverse while asleep, through lucid dreams.

(More under cut)

Lucid (his multiversal nickname) is anonymous and simply referred to by his nickname, or 'just some Papyrus AU'. One time, he finds his own brother and interracts with him, Classic having no idea that he's talking to his bro. When Papyrus wakes up, Sans has a lot of explaining to do.

Meanwhile, Ink noticed how different the timeline is from the others. It's beginning to overload the AU, so he splits it from Undertale to make an AU/AT. But something goes wrong. Sans, and everyone else, is gone. Papyrus Lucid is left alone... with the sole exceptions of Frisk and Chara. Chara links onto him, and they go into the multiverse, but.. they don't wake up this time. They're trapped in a world full of weird skeletons, many of whom look like his brother for some reason, some shortstack who keeps trying to find them in this mess who Chara notes doesn't have a soul, and a weird corruption taking over from two twins locked in an eternal war of the emotional scale.

But when he's caught in between the fight, the realisation comes to him of why he hasn't come back yet. He's still asleep, but he can't wake up.

He's dead, and the murderer is the one person who's still in the AU. Frisk.
