Thinking about the general state of Mettaton in deltarune. Like he doesn't "haunt the narrative" but he is definitely narratively A Ghost. You can't see him and probably never will and what little we have of him is unrecognizable at first glance. But his general impression is still there, the history of him. Your internet habits are all that are left of you when you're a perpetual shut-in, after all.
He's spoken about in vague hushed whispers by shopkeepers and no one else. He is a ghost story. He still has unfinished business. But the vessel he's supposed to be haunting is already occupied. The stage lights are shattered (NEO is known for its high defense [What even is NEO?]).
We went to a computer world and in next chapter we'll literally be going to a TV one. And he wont be there. Toriel and Undyne and maybe even Napstablook will probably be there but he won't.

Papyton Week
Day 4: AU
Mettaton really wants this novel to be written yesterday, but writer's block has been kicking his butt. Papyrus offers him a day off. Eventually, he decides to take it. In the end, it pays off even better than he could have ever expected.
I will preface this by saying, I do not write AU ... like ever. This is *very* simple. There is almost no depth. I posted and wrote it before I chickened out and wrote/did nothing.
I love Stardew Valley to the point that I played it while in labor with my kid. It felt fitting to choose it for my AU.

FNaF SB / Undertale Crossover
(This is more centered around Sun and Moon, a heads-up)
I just thought of this today so it's a little rough around the edges...
The story begins after the Underground is freed, monsters now having to adjust to life in common society (them having to fight for civilian rights is achieved before the events of this crossover). Our main group of monsters (Including Toriel, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, the lot) live in a group of apartments close to one-another (they are quite overwhelmed by the open world, so they stick together the best they can). Frisk also lives with them, getting some odd looks being walked home from school by a goat lady. A good number of tenants left due to them moving in, but they became good friends with one of their neighbors: you.
You used to work at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex as a manager for birthday parties, making sure there was no timeslot overlap and that transitions between parties were smooth and (almost) chaos-free. You got along with the bots of the pizzaplex quite well (after getting past the whole "oh my god these guys are celebrities" deal) getting to know the Glamrocks that occasionally attend the parties and the Daycare Attendant who often gave you crap for putting so much work on yourself. One early morning, the plex burned down (on your day off, thankfully) leaving you distraught and jobless.
You turn to your neighbors for help, and Toriel helps you get an events manager position at the school she teaches at. Your co-workers aren't as interesting as the bots at the plex (shy of the common monsters who worked janitorial) but you made do. You come home late one evening after having a difficult time at work when you notice that your door is ajar. On high alert, you search your apartment and find a 7- to 8-foot robot hunched over and looking at something in your bedroom. You recognize him even before he snaps back at the sound of you clasping on to the doorframe. The Daycare Attendant (or, you guess he used to be) escaped the plex fire and found you.
Cue the onslaught of antics with Sun and Moon being deeply disturbed by how the monsters are raising Frisk. Complete with Moon and Sans stare-downs, Papyrus teaching Sun how to cook (when it actually becomes the other way around), Toriel being concerned by their certain... behaviors, and Undyne wanting to throw hands with Moon.
Again, NO idea if this makes any sense or if it even has some merit, but it's a fun thought to see these guys bouncing off each other.

I remember when I was in a private school accidentally full of Mormons, one of the guys there (who also used dnd to pretend *r* me. That’s another story) had a big FAT crush on Mettaton. Like loved Mettaton in all entirety and shipped Mettaton with Papyrus.
And one day while discussing it, I said “oh yeah, isn’t Mettaton actually a guy? I remember when I learned that I couldn’t believe it.” And he responded “what? No? He’s not a guy right?” And I told him to look it up because I’m pretty sure he’s actually a guy
He never talked about Mettaton ever again and seemingly stopped crushing and shipping Papyrus with them- lol single handedly ruined this guys experience with Undertale probably.
