Undergrell Fic Recs (AO3)

Disclaimer: This is a rewritten list that was intended to go into a reblog for a post asking for Grelltaker fics. Later, I saved a draft of my reblog while I was halfway through the list. When I returned to continue just barely five minutes later, I found that it was gone, and I couldn’t find the original post in neither my likes or in search. Dear random user, this is for you.

Jealous Time by fms_fangirl — This is an incomplete series surrounding a universe mostly anime-adjacent for Undergrell. Here are some highlights:

A Wild Rose by fms_fangirl — The Undertaker is sick and Grelle bunks off of work to look after him. It’s crushy, sweet, and sets up their dynamic for the rest of the series.

The Lenten Season by fms_fangirl — In this multi-chapter work, The Undertaker fights for Grelle’s cinematic records. It’s sweet, it’s climatic, and it’s a long read.

Everyday Grace by fms_fangirl — This was my introduction to the series. The Undertaker forgets Valentine’s Day, and Grelle and William have a heart-to-heart as workplace BFFs. Bittersweet and fluffy. What more is there to wish for?

The Dispatch’s Day Out by fms_fangirl — This work is not a part of the series mentioned above, but it is still a wonderful piece. While The Undertaker x Grelle isn’t the primary focus, it is still a lovely ready, because it (mostly) focusses on Will, The Undertaker, Grelle and Ronald going around London for a team building exercise set in place by the management. For the most part, it remains in character almost seamlessly, and I genuinely loved it. It’s bittersweet, angsty, and just lovely, as I said.

Secret by FaeaKai — A short, silly one shot in which Grelle tells The Undertaker a riddle that he can’t solve. (Grelle does get misgendered here, so take that as a trigger warning, with a grain of salt.)

Embrace Me by GhostLove — A lengthy one shot that has Grelle reflect on her actions from the “un-canon” part of the anime’s first season, or more clearly, episode seventeen where we saw Grelle and The Undertaker interact for the first time. It’s a sweet piece, and sometimes drags, and it doesn’t stay in character all that well, but if you’re interested, it’s still quite a good read when or if you’re ever interested.

To my Dearest by Arkham_Cat — A beautiful, sweet drabble of complete nothingness. And that’s perfectly okay, because it is just pure fluff. A nice little vice to warm the very cockles of your heart, this fic shows some brief letters (notes, really) between Grelle and The Undertaker.

The Bet by fms_fangirl — While this list isn’t in any specific order, I definitely saved the best for last. This fic jumps back and forth between the past and present, as Grelle recounts how she won her and The Undertaker’s bet. The butterfly effect used here is very elaborate and well thought out that it’s a bit mind boggling, but that doesn’t stop the tooth-rotting fluff! This fic is incredible, and it’s easily at the top of my fic recommendations.
