Mafiatale Sona - Jazz Watson

Art done by my good friend @kuroshiro101

Jazz is my sona for mine and @justsamwich 's mafiatale AU and I wanted to share him with you all~

Basic Info

Name: Jazz Watson

Age: 27

Soul Color/Trait: Yellow/Justice

Height: 5’ 5”

Weight: about 180 lbs (mostly muscle)

Occupation: Bodyguard/Hired Muscle

Personality

Jazz is relatively down to earth but has a passionate side hiding under his calm, cool collected shell. He is straightforward and tends to keep a professional distance from others, as he has been hurt and others have been hurt for being close to him before. He cares a great deal for those who have gotten past his outer walls and is intensely protective of them. Has a soft spot for kids and sweets. Often works himself into the ground or takes on burdens for others because he doesn’t want anyone else to struggle if he can help.

Personal History

Grew up in an orphanage, left at the age of 14 and began to do work for hire wherever he could find it.

He left with another teenager from the orphanage, Matilda (He always called her Tillie), who he viewed as his only family for a very long time.

Always been a bit of a trouble magnet, somehow managing to find himself in ridiculous scenarios

Always been a fighter, but tries not to fight unless the other person starts it. Will also step in to defend others when they are being harassed.

Started out in New York, traveled in Europe for a bit before he ended up being hired by Smoke and Mac for the Dreemur family as a bodyguard/muscle. Has worked for them since he was 20.

Shortly after being hired by the Dreemur family, Tillie was targeted in an attempt to get at him. She lived through the attack but can no longer walk on her own. She is now under constant protection by the family and handles all of their financials and books.

Had a double mastectomy while in Europe, suffered a minor infection but otherwise healed well. Cut hair and invested in an entirely new wardrobe, along with vocal training.

Currently not on any specific jobs, mostly just keeping an eye out for anything he might need to report back to the family. Has taken to visiting some of the local night clubs.

Fun Facts

While he claims to not have the dexterity for it, is actually half decent at sleight of hand tricks. Mostly learned them as a way to kill time.

He and Mac (Mafiatale Papayrus) once dated for a bit but ultimately decided they made better friends and coworkers than lovers.

Can sing, although is shy about singing in front of other people.

Enters underground fighting competitions from time to time, just for fun.

Enjoys a bit of play fighting and rough housing.

Enjoys baking, mostly makes small things like cookies, muffins, etc.

Feeds the stray animals in his neighborhood, they often follow him up and down the street that his house is on.

MafiaFell - Saint Snippet

TW: Implied death and violence

He wondered to himself if the dust would ever really wash out of his gloves or if there would always be that dull gray tinge to them. One of the others called out to him from across the room and he shook the thoughts from his head.

“We’ve cleared the area, Papyrus.” The cat monster reported, then shifted uncomfortably, “Although… some of them got away when the fighting started up.”

Papyrus furrowed his brows, crossing his arms over his chest, “How many is ‘some of them’?”

“Like…” The cat counted under his breath, “Eight of them… maybe nine.”

He growled under his breath and the other monster shrunk away from him, which did not help with his bad mood. Saint wondered if the others in the Dreemur Family really thought he’d ever turn on them.

“Sans won’t be happy to hear about that, but there isn’t anything to be done about it now.” Saint said after a moment, “Get the others together and gather any evidence that needs to come back with us. We’ll leave once that is done.”

The cat monster skittered off with a nod of his head and a quiet ‘yes, sir.’ The skeleton looked around the room he was in and let out a resigned sigh. He’d never liked this work, but there weren’t a lot of options in this world and even less with monsters still being trapped underground. He knew a lot of the others in the Family, especially those in lower ranks, did not agree with how he handled things. He scared them and unlike his brother, who was charismatic enough to maintain a semblance of being liked, he was not good at dealing with others.

“Not that any of them would look past my face or LV long enough to let me talk at all.” He muttered under his breath.

It didn’t matter. At least, that’s what he told himself. 

He busied himself with scouring the room for anything he would need to take back to the hideout, only leaving once he was certain he’d managed to clear the room. The others were wrapping up their own work once he rejoined them and it didn’t take long for the group to be on their way back to report on the job. 

He was right and his brother wasn’t happy that some of the monsters had gotten away, but everything else had gone well enough that he let it slide for now. The others were all celebrating, sharing drinks and talking about how well they’d done, some flirting with the performers at the bar. Saint sat off in the corner alone, watching the rest of the room form his spot. He knew better than to attempt and join the festivities, all that would do is remind him that even here, he didn’t really belong. 

Papyrus took another sip from his drink and leaned back in his seat, never letting his gaze linger anywhere long enough for the others to catch him watching. It was better this way, he wouldn’t know what to say even if they wanted him to join in. He was better off on the sidelines.

He was better off alone.

Besides, who could ever want to be friends with someone like him? Oh sure, he and Undyne were friends, but she was still more personable than him and was more liked by the others. There was his brother, but he didn’t count that either. No, Papyrus didn’t need friends and he needed to stop letting himself ruminate on these thoughts. There was no time or reason to worry about such silly things.

********

When they were settling the paperwork to get their identification on the surface, Papyrus and Sans had agreed to take on new names. The two both agreed that a level of separation from their identities underground would be useful. Sans, now Whiskey, had laughed at the name he chose and commented that if he was looking to make himself out to be someone to be feared he was doing a good job. 

He never tells his brother that’s not what he was going for. 

Papyrus takes the name, Saint, in the hopes that the word had positive associations elsewhere and perhaps some of that would rub off on him. He’s tired of being alone, tired of monsters recognizing his name and practically running in the opposite direction. 

He hopes for better on the surface, but humans prove to be no better.

Saint settles into his routine from then on, never hoping for more than living through each new day. He and Undyne train together and get drinks a few nights out of the week. His brother stops to have drinks with him on Mondays in one of their offices and they discuss how the week goes. Otherwise, none of the others stay in his office longer than necessary and after a while, it stops stinging so much every time they flinch away from him. 

He resigns himself to loneliness and finds some level of comfort in knowing where he stands with others. It stays that way for years and he never falters in his stance, never takes a chance on anyone who comes through the doors of the hideout.

Better to not let himself get hurt again. -J

LMK OC - Yarrow

Art drawn by @justsamwich <3

So this is my lmk oc, Yarrow. They're a monkey demon, somewhere between 1,000 to 2,000 years old (they don't remember the specifics because of ~trauma~), they're genderfluid with a preference for they/them pronouns typically.

They're pretty short, standing at 4'10".

In present day, Yarrow runs a small apothecary/natural remedies shop just outside of the city. They have a small garden in the backyard and spend a lot of their time cultivating the plants they grow.

Yarrow's background:

Grew up in a small village, one that was mostly known for farming and gardening.

Met their fiance, who was the son of a traveling merchant, he stayed once they were betrothed.

He would later become sick from an illness that ravaged the village, wherein Yarrow went looking for something that could help keep him from dying. This is when they made a deal with a powerful demon and traded their humanity for the cure. This turned them into a demon and caused their fiance to break off their relationship.

They began to travel as a doctor after this, eventually ending up training and studying under one of the best healers from one of the larger cities. They spent a decade there before moving on.

Yarrow then traveled as a Healer/Herbalist, stopping in small towns like the one they came from, helping as many people as they could.

After a few centuries, they met a beautiful Butterfly demonness, who they decided to court for a while. 

She would go on to try and convince them to become immortal so they could stay with her forever, but Yarrow declined. This angered her, because the demoness was very possessive and saw Yarrow as a possession, rather than a person. She then tricked them into eating/drinking something that would give them immortality, but when they discovered what she had done they left. Running away in the middle of the night to avoid being caught, she still chased after them when she discovered they were missing. Yarrow managed to make a successful escape, but just barely.

And that's it for now ^^ I might infodump some more about Yarrow in current day later~

Welcome to Our Ebott Archive!

@jaxxwrites4you & @justsamwich here! Together we've created 40 undertale aus, and as we've continued to develop them we decided they deserved their own blog to call home. Our Ebott Archive will be the central hub for all of our writings and artworks surrounding these AUs- and our askbox is always open! So feel free to ask away! Now then, it's about time we go ahead and tell you what all of these AUs are! Some of these are our own takes on pre-existing AUs (as well as our own take on the canon characters that we're including, lol) and some are all us from the ground up! Along with the AUs are names for each of the skeletons; since much of the UTAU fandom space is centralized around them, we named them separately to avoid any confusion.

[jaxxwrites4you]

I’ll give my left kidney for a crumb of lore about your medievalfell bois.

That'll be Bastion and Steele, I love these two! As always, these characters are cowritten by myself and @justsamwich

Bastion (MedievalFell Papyrus)

He's the captain of the royal guard, often being assigned to lead the most important or serious battles. He's also often taken along as the head of protection for the Asgore, Toriel, and Frisk when they have diplomatic meetings to attend.

Bastion wears his armor if he's outside of his room, unless he's instructed to do otherwise by Asgore or Toriel. This is a physical manifestation of his struggle to be vulnerable with others. Being in his armor is just one of the ways he keeps his walls up with others. He has a pretty deep fear of being or hurt ot his vulnerability being used to get to someone else and hurt them.

Despite having issues being vulnerable, Bastion desires a simple life, with the possibility of getting to settle down and have a family. He's been tired of being a soldier since before monsters came up to the surface and while the fighting is not as bad as it could be, he doesn't like it.

He's an incredibly loyal individual, which means if you can get past his walls and win his trust, he'd die for you. Of course, at that point, if you asked him to live for you, then he'd do that instead.

Steele (MedievalFell Sans)

Steele is a blacksmith at the castle. He seems to enjoy the work, often taking on massive orders of armor and weapons on his own.

He is also still the judge, though this position is one he'd rather not hold. Still, he carries out his duties as needed until a succesor can be arranged.

While he is a man of few words, Steele knows how to make them count. He is blunt and direct, resulting in a bit of a bad reputation. He pays no mind to the rumors that float around the castle regarding this.

He has had a strained relationship with Bastion in the past; that has been largely mended, but there is still some work to be done. His brother is the only one Steele will talk to at lenghth (initially).

As one gets to know Steele a bit better, he is more open about talking and letting his sense of humor shine through. He's got a snarky kind of way of telling jokes- usually at his own expense.

One might also learn that he's struggled immensely with anger issues in the past, but he has done a great amount of work to improve on these. Being on the surface and stepping into the role of blacksmith have also helped immensely.

Ramble Time

So I'm working on my undertale fics at the moment and I forgot how much of a comfort fandom this is for me. There's a lot of catharsis in writing these stories and having the story beats that touch on issues and trauma I've dealt with.

It's been really nice to have that back.

[jaxxwrites4you]

Current Fics I'm Actively Working On

So, since I'm doing updates, here's the fics I am focusing my efforts on right now!

First on the list is a long time project (I've been working on this longer than the other three fics on this list), my mass effect fanfic. It will be titled Twin Hearts and it follows my twin Shepards, Ambros and Rhodanthe. It will follow the story of the original mass effect trilogy, the planned pairings are going to be Ambros and Tali, Rhodanthe and Garrus, Joker and EDI (always, because I love them). It feels good to be working on this one again and I hope I can keep good momentum.

I am also going to renew efforts for a Lego Monkie Kid fic I've been wanting to work on, which is my fake dating with OCxMacaque. It's not anything too crazy, just very self indulgent and fun, with a little bit of drama sprinkled in. It's based off of a song I heard once and I really love the base idea, I just didn't end up being happy with the original draft I did.

The last two fics I'm going to focus on are both undertale fics. One is my Sans x Reader fic, Brave is the Heart That Loves, and the other is a Swapfell fic I've been stewing on for awhile.

I desperately want to finish out Brave is the Heart That Loves, it's one that I'm pretty proud of, even if I haven't gotten super far into the story yet. And I've really fallen in love with Swapfell (specifically the way @popatochisssp portrayed it), so I had an idea for a single parent reader swapfell fic. I still haven't decided if it will be just Sans x Reader or whatnot yet, but I'm really excited to get back to work on it.

[jaxxwrites4you]

I really like your Caretakerswap AU. I think it’s very interesting and I’ve loved each story that you’ve written. UwU

Waaaaaah, thank you!!! (Also, so sorry for this reply taking forever to get to.)

This means a lot to me ^^ I wasn't sure how well the AU would do, especially since it messes with quite a bit of the dynamics and character development, but I thought it was fun. I can't wait to keep sharing these fics, I'm most looking forward to getting into how having Macaque as a parent makes MK being Wukong's successor really awkward.

Update Time!

Hey y'all, I wanted to pop in and give an update on what's going on. I've been dealing with a lot of stuff since January, between moving my partner in with me to continuing college to having some serious personal issues blow up.

Things are settling down (I hope) at this point in time and I want to put more effort in to trying to post more here. I want to keep posting my fics, oneshots and other story writing, of course. I'm also going to start sharing my thoughts and head canons for things, continuing to answer questions about characters (mostly that's undertale rn), dropping my oc info and even just ranting about story ideas and stuff.

It's been really amazing to see how many people leave likes on my writing or even reblog it. Writing has always been my biggest passion and I want to do as much with it as I can.

Thanks for being here, for reading my stories and for hanging out to see what else I get up to. It means a lot to me.

[jaxxwrites4you]

Something to remember when you’re struggling. 💙

[jaxxwrites4you]

you're... giving the host girl an actual name but calling XiaoJiao. "mei"?

So, I'm going to preface this answer with the fact that I'm an english speaker and watched the show in english originally, so i'm most familiar with that version.

I gave the host girl a name because as far as I could find, there was no given name for her in the show and while the fandom given name for her is fine, I found the name a little on the nose and wanted to come up with something for her myself. I picked a chinese name for her, because the show is originally from China and about the mythological stories therein. I felt it would be kind of disrespectful to just slap an english name on her, especially when the fandom given name is also chinese.

That's the only reason why there's a difference in the name choices between those two characters.

Ming-Yue and Her Guardians (Caretakerswap LMK AU)

“Get back here you little wriggler!”

The exclamation was followed by loud and delighted giggling, as Ming-Yue ran through the hallway. Huntsman was just behind her, grinning from ear to ear as he ‘chased’ her. The young girl looked over her shoulder and shrieked when she realized how close he was, taking a sharp turn into the living room. Hunts almost couldn’t slow down enough to make the turn to follow them, but managed it, even if he did run into the door frame.

The other spider demons watched on from the side, both smiling as they watched the young girl run around. It had been five years since they had found the orphaned baby on the street and she was doing well, even if they had to raise her in the ruins of their old home. She was a bright little girl, although the three worried she was far too curious and kind, but they would look out for her. No one would hurt her or take advantage of her while they were there for her.

“Má má!” Ming-Yue yelled out as she came back around the corner, holding her arms out to the demoness, “I need up!”

Huntsman came around the corner and made the same playful monster noises he had been the whole time. This only spurred on the giggles from the young girl who held her arms up expectantly. Daiyu laughed and dramatically leaned over to pull her daughter up, scooping her up into the demoness’ arms and nuzzling against her.

“Don’t worry, little princess.” She said, motioning for Goliath to move forward, “Our brave bodyguard will keep us safe from the monster!”

Goliath and Huntsman both shifted into their play fight stances and began the back and forth of a warrior holding off a monster. Ming-Yue cheered for her ‘bodyguard’ to win and as he held the ‘monster’ overhead triumphantly, she raised her arms in the air excitedly. After a few moments of playing dead Huntsman finally got back up and the girl wiggled out of her mother’s arms to run over to him and hug his leg.

“Thank you for playing with me, Shūshu!” She tilted her head up to give him a bright smile, “You’re the best at chasing me!”

He chuckled softly and ruffled her hair, earning even more giggles from the girl, “I’m always happy to play with you, little jumper.”

Ming-Yue opened her mouth to say something else, but it turned into a yawn and they all smiled as they watched her rub her eyes. Goliath leaned down to scoop her up and gave the others a small nod, “I’ll get her settled for her nap.”

Daiyu nodded back, “Once she’s settled you can meet us in the throne room. There are plans to discuss.”

Huntsman followed his sister to the throne room, sending a glance over his shoulder to Goliath and Ming-Yue. He looked back to Daiyu and cleared his throat, “So you’re really serious about moving forward with the plan to get more power?”

She shot him a stern look and sighed, “Of course I am. I have to be able to keep us safe, brother. From anything and anyone.”

There were a few moments of silence as they walked down the hall stopping in front of the dilapidated double doors. Her hands balled into fists and Daiyu took a deep breath before grabbing the handles to the door, “I will not fall to any demon or any celestial. Not when I have such a precious family to protect.”

Huntsman couldn’t bring himself to argue, not when he felt the same. They would protect their family and no one would stop them. Not ever again.

****************

To Daiyu and her brothers, the years since they found their precious princess seemed so short, but to the young girl it felt longer. The spider demoness looked down at the delicately decorated pink and white cake, a request from the birthday girl. Ming-Yue had asked that they have a proper birthday cake this year, especially since she was starting her first year of high school. It had been a difficult decision, whether to send her daughter to a proper human school, but ultimately it was likely the best for her. Huntsman and Goliath took turns dropping her off and picking her up, using carefully crafted glamors to hide their true forms. 

She sighed softly, once again tweaking the placement of all the dishes on the table, feeling far too restless. Ming-Yue was too eager to grow up and Daiyu knew it was unfair to try and quell that excitement, not when her daughter was human. Her experiences were far different from the demoness’ own, who had lived with her mother for quite some time, even after reaching adulthood. One day, her little princess wouldn’t be so little anymore and she would have to trust that she could handle herself. 

But that day was not today.

She sighed softly, but smiled, as she was still happy to see her precious daughter growing up. They had all pitched in to make sure the decorations were perfect and that Ming-Yue could have her favorite dinner. Speaking of which, she should go and see how Huntsman was doing with the cooking. They had another hour before the birthday girl would be home and she wanted to make sure that was enough time. Otherwise, they’d have to get Goliath to distract her with shopping or something on the way home.

“How is dinner coming along, brother?” Daiyu hummed as she stepped into the kitchen.

The other spider demon was in the middle of filling the last few buns, placing the last one on the tray before looking over to his older sister. 

“I should be done on time, the cold dishes are all ready. The baozi are about to go into the steamer, then I’ll just have to cook the pork and cabbage stir fry.” Huntsman said, wiping his forehead as he prepped the steamer basket. “Don’t worry, sister, everything is going to be perfect for our little jumper.”

She laughed a little and leaned against the wall, “She’s not so little anymore, brother. In another four years, she’ll be an adult by human standards.”

“Don’t remind me.” Huntsman sighed, “Mortals grow up too fast.”

The two shared a look, one that showed their shared concern over the girl. Whether they liked it or not, someday she would want to live on her own terms and all they could do was make sure she was ready for it.

****************

There was lots of clapping as Ming-Yue blew out the candles on her birthday cake and she smiled brightly at her mother and uncles. She had been delighted by just how much effort they put into her party, even if it was just the four of them. She knew her upbringing was abnormal and that the location of their home made it hard to do larger parties. She couldn’t invite people over for parties and it had made for more than a few awkward conversations with her friends.

“What did you wish for?” Goliath asked eagerly, leaning over the table.

The girl chuckled and shook her head, “I can’t tell you, Shūshu!”

The large spider demon pouted, “What? Why not?”

“Because that means my wish won’t come true!” Ming-Yue explained, “You have to keep the wish a secret if you want it to come to fruition.”

Goliath sighed, “Well, since I want you to get your wish I’ll stop asking.”

He ruffled her hair and the girl playfully slapped his hands away, sticking out her lower lip and pouting. Daiyu smiled at the two and Huntsmanshook his head, but he was smiling.

“Happy birthday, my precious daughter.” The demoness said, wrapping her arms around her daughter, “I’m so proud of you.”

Ming-Yue flushed and tried to wiggle out of the hug, “Má má! Noooooo, you’re embarrassing me!”

Huntsman and Goliath piled on as well, smothering the girl in affection. In that moment, despite being flustered by her family’s attention, she had never been happier. Ming-Yue knew at that moment that her wish was going to come true and she couldn’t be happier. 

Nothing could make this year bad for her, not when she had such a good family.
