When There are Clouds, there is Rain (Backstory: Old AU Tale Papyrus)

Warning: Death, sadness, angst, lots of angst, repeated deaths, impalement, beheading, painful backstory, Toxin, hopelessness, etc.

-------

Papyrus moves as he walks. It's the same day as usual. The children are playing, the Queen and King are at odds, Undyne is focused on her task, and Alphys is working really hard. Nothing is strange or off… At least to the inexperienced eye.

However, Papyrus was not an inexperienced eye. He knew something was wrong. The same day would happen again and over again. There was no change, no significant difference; it would begin and end the same. He would go on patrol and believe everything was OK, but he knew otherwise. He realized this was the end of it all.

He would try and change it, try everything he could to rewrite the script, but nothing could stop it. Nothing. It would never change; it was the same as always. He clenched his jaw lightly as he came to a stop. There was Monster Kid playing with Frisk.

He clasped his fist around his blade. Monster Kid, he remembered how that child died. They couldn't run quickly enough. They called for Undyne, but they were dusted before she arrived. He failed them.

"Paps, you okay?" Deidamia's voice jolted him out of his deep thought. He looked at her. He had told her to run, far away and fast.

"Yes…. I'm fine." Papyrus answered slowly. He had no idea if she had perished because he had dusted before he could find out.

"C'mon, Papyrus, you're acting weirder than usual." Undyne interrupted his thoughts yet again. He strengthened his grip on his sword. He saw her dying, and she told him to run, so he did. But she kept battling till the bitter end.

"Sorry, general." Papyrus gave a bashful smile back. Undyne patted his back, and Deidamia grinned back. The two girls began discussing about something he had heard countless times before. He slowed his feet when he noticed Sans and his father talking about something as they walked by. He knew it was about the contraption that would allow all of them to escape the Underground.

However, he never knew whether its studies had yielded any fruit… Everyone died before they could test it. The Queen actively supported and engaged in the research. He began moving again. He was present as the Queen and King made their last stand against the machines that destroyed everything. He wasn't sure if their children had survived the assault because Sans had taken them before he had dusted.

He remembers his death... Well, deaths. As they changed, the day would repeat itself. They'd cut off his head, impale him… He shuddered at the memory. He was wondering how he would die this time. Would they crush him? Put him out swiftly and painlessly? He doesn't know. He never knows. He's just glad Monster Kid's death was mercifully short and it never changed. He watched as time ticked by.

It would happen again shortly… Shouldn't it? His thoughts turned to what would happen if he could somehow save everyone…? Will the day merely repeat itself? It seemed like a fruitless endeavor the more he thought of it. Regardless, he was the only one who recalled it… At least he thought so.

Sometimes he'd have dreams… Well, nightmares about every death, every one pleading with him to help them, everyone reaching out to him… He shakes his head. If he gave it more thought, he'd experience the memories. It reminded him of a dream he had about his mother, who was slain by one of the machines in his late childhood. He shook his head again; this was not the time.

"You're doing it again." Deidamia broke his mind out of the thoughts again. She was the only human on the guard since she fell in. She was very observant, he had to admit. He looked at her before he gave a grin.

"I'm just thinking of what we'll do tomorrow." Papyrus confidently responds. He was fully aware that there would be no tomorrow. Deidamia chuckles and smiles at him. Undyne clicked her tongue and chuckled, too. He watched them and felt his heart start to hurt. He'd never see those smiles again, would he? They would never see tomorrow.

"I say! We take the kids out for training." Undyne smiled and threw her arm around his shoulder. He felt his SOUL weigh more. This would never happen.

"And Nice Cream!" Deidamia spoke up, and he couldn't take his eyes off them. He simply couldn't...

"It looks like it's going to rain..." Papyrus muttered and Deidamia blinked before she smiled.

"Yeah, when there are clouds, there's usually rain." Deidamia nudged his arm with a grin. He looked back before... And then he heard the bell chime. His blood ran completely cold.

He could hear the screams and felt Undyne and Deidamia pull away from them as they began to say the same two phrases "What was that?" "No time to wonder, we have to help them!" He didn't have time to say anything as the two started running. This was the first time they ventured far into their home. They pushed them back for so long, and they worked so hard.

He started chasing the two as if his feet were moving on their own. He heard screaming that was quickly silenced, magic, battle, and he could see everything. Already, the city had begun to burn. Mettaton and Napstablook were forcing civilians back, as Undyne and Deidamia entered the conflict. His mind became blank when he heard a loud cry.

Monster Kid!

"Undyne!" Monster Kid yelled, and Undyne turned her head, her eyes wide with dread. She started to grasp for them. As he watched the attack come at them, he extended his hand. A bone pierced the ground, and he struck the machine in the core. He didn't have time to think, so he scooped up the child and noticed, if only for a moment, the world around Monster Kid flicker and dust fall in their place. He knew that it was fruitless then, but he could try.

And he did. He tried so hard.

The violence escalated, people were ganged up on, and they were dusted.

"GO! Your brother needs you!" Undyne demanded, shoving the skeleton back. When an attack came her way, she formed a wall of spears. Her armor had chipped and shattered.

"Undyne-! Alphys needs you!! You can't do this! Please!" Papyrus shouted, but Undyne pushed him aside with a harmless attack as another attack was directed at her.

"Papyrus…" Undyne's voice was so clear and genuine, yet he knew it couldn't be. He realized he couldn't do anything to stop it. He knew! He knew! But he wanted to, he wanted to so so badly. He could feel tears stinging his eye sockets. "Tell Alphys I love her." Her voice is clear and sweet. Full of love for Alphys, it took all his effort not to fall to his knees. Her magic ignited, her body shifted, and she fought back. He could see the attackers surrounding her. He tried to help her, but it was futile as he saw her crumble into dust. Deidamia's loud sob, as well as her grabbing over his arm as he pulled her back, tore his SOUL even further. She demanded that he let her through.

"Papyrus! Move! Papyrus-! Undyne needs us, Papyrus!" Deidamia's voice was strained with sorrow. He heard her clearly, his eyes fixed on the dust mound that was Undyne, but he didn't have time to think. He flung her over his shoulder, and Deidamia's cries for Undyne stung more than any wound he had. He knew she saw the dust and the monsters.

He didn't have time to mourn, so he began tearing into the machinery. He did not halt or hesitate. When he was surrounded, he flung Deidamia to safety while summoning dual bone swords to push them back.

"Papyrus!" Deidamia sobbed, but he ignored her. He leapt forward and stood in front of her. His eyes sparkled as his power began to cause fractures in the ground. His breathing was irregular, and his soul tore with each stride.

"Deidamia, get out of here." Papyrus gave a cold order. "That's an order." Papyrus never really used his position against her. He could see her eyes widen as he cast a short glance at her. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her lips quivered. She was shaking. It made him feel too much like himself.

"Papyrus-"

"Don't look back when you do. Don't stop. Don't even think about fighting. Run. Don't stop. Run until you find someone." Papyrus' voice felt too chilly even for him, but he didn't have time to soften it. "I'm not going to survive this." Papyrus made it apparent, and Deidamia's breath caught as she began to speak. "This has happened many times. I know how it will end." Papyrus used a bone assault as a machine approached him. He clenched his eyes tightly. "Please, Deidamia... Go."

Deidamia opened her mouth but then began to move back. Her eyes flooded with tears. Papyrus consciously ignored her expression as he shifted his concentration.

"Well. You have me entirely to yourself. Let us get this over with. Papyrus repositioned his weapons before charging into the clash of the machines. He tore, ripped, and did not care about the wounds he received. He fought until his body screamed for him to stop. He panted, blood streaming down his face. He moved position.

"You're still fighting?" Toxin's vicious voice echoed through the machine. He panted and sneered. His eyes trembled as he concentrated. "I'll give it to you; you've survived longer than prior occasions… It's rather enjoyable." The voice hissed. Papyrus growled back as blasters appeared behind him. "But you look about ready to collapse like a house of cards." The voice mocked as the machines returned to the fray. "We'll see how long you last."

The conflict persisted. Papyrus was barely hanging on when it began to rain. He battled and fought, but was eventually defeated and struck in the side. He collapsed on the ground. He had fought so hard he was bleeding out. He knew he was. He could feel his life draining. Despite defeating them, he died before witnessing the outcome. He shakily held his phone. His palm shook, and he strained to concentrate as the rain dropped harder. He dialed Alphys' number. And he held the phone so that he could hear her.

He could hear Alphys' distraught voice on the other end, calling his name urgently. I asked whether he was okay, where he was, and if everything was all right… But he knew she was aware that he had called for a reason.

"Undyne… Didn't make it, and I don't have much time." Papyrus merely informed her. Alphys' voice began to break, but he interrupted her before she could say anything else. His vision blurred gradually but steadily. "Undyne wanted me to tell you… She loves you." Papyrus muttered as he heard Alphys burst into tears as his hand slipped and fell to the ground.

He didn't have enough strength to hold it up as he began to dust. He glanced up at the sky, the rain gently washing the blood away from his face. He felt exhausted. He could hear Alphys anxiously saying his name via the receiver. He slowly closed his eyes. He could feel his body dust faster as he felt his life drain.

But then... He opened his eyes again. He stared blankly at the ceiling. He knew it... He covered his face with his arm... It was the same day as before. He slowly looks out at the sky. His eyes starting to get as cloudy as the sky. He sighed as he closed his eyes.

Deidamia was right...

When there are clouds, it rains.

GENERAL INFO:

What is my blog about? / What can I find here?

I'm an artist, and a writer! There's a chance that I'll mash the two together, but I mostly separate art and writing.

How is it with requests?

My requests are always open, but I cannot guarantee that I'll answer right away, I'd say my rules aren't so strict, I'm just busy irl.

This blog isn't my only focus in my everyday life, so there are times where I just don't make posts for 5 days straight. The times where I post the most are on weekends, as I have more time.

Are there any special tags you use?

Yes!

For personal questions, I simply use this tag: #anomalyasks

Old tag: #vicnityask

For announcing new things: #vicnitynews

And for posts, that are about my Au "Over-copy", I tag them all: #chaos sans

Can I draw fanart?

Yes! I have no problems with anyone drawing fanart for me, quite the opposite actually. It'd totally make my day if someone drew me fanart :)

Hope you'll enjoy my work! Hope you'll have a beautiful day/night! ^^

[5/2/2024] (A/N: Why am I always writing these things SO late? I swear, I probably have the WORST schedule known to men. 💀 This should've been the first thing I should've wrote dawg 😭)

[playertale-au]

[NOTICE] Thank you for the 300+ followers. To celebrate, bits of PLAYER!Tale AU concept( regarding Player) is shared

Reposting because Tumblr decided to post instead of saving it in drafts when I'm not even finished. Love you tumblr!  (╯ᐛ）╯︵ ┻━┻

◇◇◇◇◇

A/N: 

Oh, wow! We actually reach 300+ (as of now 310) followers!

⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ 

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, I’m glad all of you enjoyed the story despite my art not being that good. I actually wanted to draw for 250 followers but I didn’t realised we passed that milestone. 

Anyways! To celebrate, I wanted to share some concepts regarding the Player based on my memories, though sorry if there is like a black blotched in the drawing as that is considered as spoilers.

To start off, I began creating this AU maybe 5/6 years ago, on and off, (re-writing or removing some stuff along the way) I had loads of concept art and drawings back in 2019 but sadly those old arts were, ummm, forcedly deleted after a disagreement with someone I trusted, haha. The pain for a FT user in ibis paint. ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ

Then 2023, I wanted to move forward. So I decided to give it a shot and start drawing again. I wanted to share my AU (better late than ever),＼＼\(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶//／／ and also I thought it will help overcome my fear of drawing and start liking to draw again.

Anyway, here we have Player’s design concept (+ explanation):

Version 1:

Player actually does not inhibit Frisk’s body, as they are not trap in the game, instead, they have their own “Avatar” basing on the data and sprites of Frisk and Chara. (The situation is more towards VR? AR? I’m not sure what to call it) The Player has their memories intact.

The story is just Player goofing around in Undertale, until plot happens, but I didn’t really like the idea as I have no clue how to progress the story forward, so the whole story was re-written.

Player mostly hack codes, while Frisk has the Reset/Reload button.

Initially, their eyes didn’t change colour when using abilities. But I wanted to distinguish what and when the abilities are used.

Version 2:

This is where, I decided that the Player actually inhibits Frisk body, though they are not amnesiac. Frisk is like a ghost (narrator?) here. The image above is post-skip version to maybe 1 year trapped in Undertale. This idea was scrap and rewritten due “Chara” ‘s story and I wanted to involved Gaster in the story. (Also, because I didn’t want to draw this version hairstyle anymore, hahaha (  ≧ᗜ≦))

Player has both the hacking and reset/reload abilities.

This version of Player is more uptight and serious.

Version 3:

I think this is like 2nd or 3rd version of the finalise concept. 

Our current Player. I made the hairstyle simpler.

This Player inhibits Frisk body and is amnesiac. The personality shifted so it’s easier for the player to act consistent. This version is more carefree than ver 2, they are similar to ver 1.

First design of the Player (ver 3).

Despite being ver 3, I wanted to keep a bit of the ver 1 and 2 hairstyle but decided not to. Again, I wanted a simpler hairstyle.

This personality is just them being stress and filled with anxiety. A nervous wreck and a crybaby. Cries a lot at the first arc until they pull themselves together. But I didn’t wanna make them cry all throughout the story, if I continued to write them like that, I might ended up smacking Player myself hahaha. I ended up toning down the personality. 

Gaster would have replace Frisk as the ghost (narrator?). But I decided not doing it, because it conflict with the plot. That, and the story would be over much quicker with him around.

Side note: I had to change the relationship between Sans and the Player(hate, confuse, no interaction, chill, idk? etc), a lot of times, but in the end I decided to make him not trust the Player. 

Previously in most iteration, he just hates Player.  I planned to have him to kill the Player the first time they exited the ruins, but decided to go against it as it doesn’t really fit his style. Also, the story would go very differently if he did commit to it. Maybe one day I can make him kill them. In an alternate timeline maybe. ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª

Extras: Player in different outfits (loosely)based on the other fallen humans in this AU. (+ ruin outfit)

There is a reason, why the Player had worn some of these outfits in chapter 3 and 4. 

Don’t worry, it’s not originally the clothes worn by the other children, Toriel made them. She has spares. (Sorry, to the one that find it creepy, when it was first shown, hahahaha)

And, that’s all for now I am able to share, I wanted to show more, but I’m afraid, that’s already in the spoiler territory. 

Anyways-! Thank you again for the follow, each and every one of you are the best! And I hope you enjoyed the upcoming story! 

[unma]

Why?

aka I finally finished my Yandere Frisk fic.

Rating: Mature

Ships: Yan!Frisk/Sans (previously mutual, now somewhat one-sided, though to what extent is up to your interpretation)

AU: Underfell

Content Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Main Character Death, A few Non-Con elements (it's minor and towards the end, and doesn't go past kissing)

Word Count: 10, 427

Summary:

What is love, if not sharing in pain?

Sans thought they'd gotten their happy ending, as perfect as things could be. They were still in the underground, sure, but he had his friends, and things were slowly getting better.

He'd made the rookie mistake of still having hope.

And now that everything he knew was gone, all he was left with was that pain, and a single lingering question.

(My comments here are going to be different from the fic's notes).

Woah, this is my first fic since tumblr fixed my blog. Make no mistake though, this fic is old. Really old. I've been working on it for at least three years old. There have been a lot of rewrites, but I couldn't give up on this. I love yanderes. I needed to see this through.

I do like the old versions, though, so I'll be posting the alternate versions I never finished. I'll need to add a bit more of what I was going to write, but those will likely remain as unedited as possible, because I wanna show how far I got before I decided it needed to be rewritten.

This fic definitely could've been revised more. Been rewritten more. But like. After 3 years? I think I've done enough to finally release this into the wild.

New Pinned Post Time

Hey y’all figure it was time I did a brand new pinned post rather then just editing the old one repeatedly lol

Anyway! I’m Captain! Or Cap, or Cappy, or capula, or Cappybara, or whatever other nickname you could possibly extrapolate out of that (Most people default to Cap though). I’m (almost) 20 years old, I use they/them pronouns, and I’m nonbinary + bisexual! Also my favorite color is purple :3

I’ve been in and around fandom spaces for a over a decade at this point but haven’t really participated in any until recently! Currently my main fandom is Ninjago but I’ve been known to partake in like a bajillion other things.

I’ve got four different ninjago AU’s at the moment in various stages in development. My main AU is Wayward Son, which is the entire show rewritten based on the concept of “What if Lloyd was a baby in season 1?” My co-writer, @carmelo-san, and I have roughly planned out all the way to Dragons Rising season 1! I’ve got a few fics for it up on my ao3 and more on the way soon!

The other big ninjago project I’m working on at the moment is a collaboration with @finn-m-corvex, but that one’s a secret teehee <3

As you can see by my blog description thing I am The (self-proclaimed) CEO of OppsiteShipping. To quote myself, I can, will, and have made everything about Oppositeshipping. I will take any random post, hold it up and say “This too is Oppo” and all my friends agree with me because I am correct every time. Look I even have the blinkies to prove this:

@inspectorghoul is my Co-CEO! He is very cool and awesome and has many good Oppo thoughts

To add on to that Kai is my favorite ninja! I will never live this down. And guess what? Another blinkie! (I also have one for Zane lol sorry guys I found a website that generates them and went all out)

I know everyone says this, but feel free to drop by the ask box, I do enjoy a good ask, even if we aren’t mutuals! (But ya know behave yourselves etc etc)

This is my one and only blog. I’ve tried sideblogs in the past and I could not for the life of me keep up with them so I just put everything here lol. My tagging system is a little all over the place though (and I frequently forgot to tag afsgdgdgf) In general though:

dope art! - My tag I use for when I like art/writing I did not make

captains craft, captains crew, captains log - my art/writing tag, the OC tag, and my talk tag respectively!

bestie [insert name here] - tags I use for my friends :3

Wayward Son AU - The tag for my main Ninjago AU!

internet safety, life stuff, art inspiration, writing inspiration- general save point tags I use for various purposes

I usually also tag the fandom on posts if I know it! I don’t usually tag for triggers though, so just lemme know if I need to tag anything extra!

Undertale: The Royal Hunt, my ongoing, novel-length, darker take on Undertale, has its 5 year anniversary today

("The Royal Hunt Cover Art" was drawn by SkyBr1ght on Deviantart and commissioned by me)

So today on December 29th 2018, five years ago, I published the first chapter of what would eventually take over so much of my life.

The Royal Hunt is part of my "Shattering AU", and is a darker(not necessarily "more mature") take on the Undertale universe. Originally conceived as an "edge fest", it quickly took on a life of its own, becoming larger and bigger than I anticipated, going places I didn't even plan at first when the story was just a "rough draft".

I have even commissioned many artworks for it, the cover art above(once again by the lovely SkyBr1ght on Deviantart) is just one example.

It is currently the length of a novel with 300K words and counting, yet I estimate this story to only be 1/3rd of the way there.

And that's not counting all the spin-offs and prequels I have planned, plus a few one-shots once I eventually finish this fic.

Anyway, if you're new here and have no clue what The Royal Hunt is:

Thanks for scrolling/reading this far. Must mean you're interested.

You're probably wondering "what" this fanfic is about.

Well, let me tell you.

In The Royal Hunt, Frisk finds herself in The Underground Kingdom as the other story goes. But in this timeline, she arrives much later as a 16-year-old teenage girl, and now, The Underground has fallen into a dark, oppressive dictatorship with an unseen ruler, and a group of knights known as "The Royal Hunt", the darker, crueller successor group to the now defunct "Royal Guard", filled with some of the worst monsterkind has to offer, working as judge, jury, and often executioner, wandering zone to zone, hunting dissidents, rebels, and the occasional human for "capturing". They are led by a ruthless, mysterious warrior known only as "Mad Mickey". And now, Frisk must traverse this dangerous kingdom, with a strange power over life and death, while reality seems to break at times around her. She has few friends, and her guide through this alien, magical kingdom, and one of the only ones she can truly trust... is a snarky little talking flower named Flowey.

That is only the start, and there are many unknown changes and mysteries afoot. Including the "return" of one many call "Gaster".

The early chapters are pretty rough and are in the process of being updated and rewritten.

(And there's plenty of OCs and a lot of queerness as well, no worries. I even made some characters queer, like Sans is Aro, and MK is NB)

15, 18, 26

thanks for the ask!

15. What’s the weirdest fandom you’ve ever written for?

warrior cats fanfiction when i was a child

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

i don't usually write things that i consider extremely wild tbh

26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

i've had the idea forever for a whole multichapter dr who AU of hualian (just consider it an AU where hualian travel together across the galaxy visiting different planets). xl is the doctor, a time god who is very old and very kind and the very last of his kind, while san lang is a mysterious "human" boy who becomes his companion but is actually a ghost king who also can travel through space and time. 800 years ago they met as teens when xl broke the rules of time to save young hc and young hc fell for xl and even promised to build a city of flowers (aka a hua cheng) for them.

i even had an oc of a lesbian supreme ghost who was once hc's protege and wanted to learn how to become strong to avenge her beloved. and xl's past companions included ban yue and they have a conversation with the doctor who quote "I'm not a hero. i really am just mad man in a box" but rewritten to parallel the scene where xl told hc in the canon novel "san lang, I'm not the person you think i am". and xl saves a dying star whale and hc tells him the dr who quote "if you were that old and that kind, you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry. sound familiar?" and looks at xl like a time god while xl looks away bc xl believes he's just an old fool who caused the fall of his kingdom and deserves to repent forever. and i wrote scenes of hc flirting with xl and hc telling xl about the story behind a constellation in the sky that immortalizes a boy who became a demon king to protect and avenge his beloved and xl doesn't realize it's about hc and him and...

i have pages and pages of plot and scene ideas for this au, i've only posted the first chapter so far bc multichapters take me a lot of energy to write and finalize the details of and fantasy/action are especially hard for me to write, idk how to write all the action scenes 😭 some day when im done with my other wips I'll slowly figure it out

(send number(s) from the 35 questions for fanfiction writers ask game)

[ut-versotale]

Oh, yeah, btw, here's the FAQ itself in case you don't want to go through the effort of zooming in/downloading and resizing the image

What ruleset do the swaps follow? To put it simply: Humans Underground, Monsters on Surface. That’s the only ruleset. Back in the fledgling years of this project, it used to be, “Toriel is replaced by this fallen human, Sans is replaced by this one, Asriel is replaced by-” you get the idea.<br><br>That, however, is no longer the case. There are certainly still somewhat obvious details hinting which human might have been in place of which monster initially, but it’s no longer a defined rule of the AU. New roles are there, old roles are removed (R.I.P Asthana), and others are so wildly different you might not even be able to guess who they were meant to originally replace.

Are there any fundamental worldbuilding changes? Monsters shouldn’t have been able to win the war and seal humans Underground! The only major one is that some traitorous humans helped monsters win the war, resulting in them getting the upper hand. Monsters are still generally weaker than humans, turn to dust when they die, etc. All Undertale rules are still in place.<br><br>Some new ones involving the nature of the SOUL are added, based on, but not directly taken from Deltarune. Also, a new magic system is in place for the human race, the details of which you will find out in the comic!

Why Asriel and Undyne? Happy accident, honestly. Way back when I was still deciding on roles for the project in 2016, Asriel was a kindhearted kid and seemed like the perfect candidate to replace Frisk. Undyne hated humanity, so she seemed like the perfect replacement for Chara.<br><br>As the project got rewritten and expanded over the years, I never really stopped liking the dynamic that ended up emerging between them (Even if they were both out of character to a certain extent back then) While the human roles have shifted around so dramatically, I couldn’t bring myself to change out Asriel as the protagonist and Undyne as the deuteragonist.

How does the comic work? I don’t understand what to do. Think of it like Undertale + Homestuck (Probably). It’s interactive; YOU choose what Asriel interacts with, and he will do anything you ask of him. If you sign up to this site, you can save your progress, and even get a funny little profile page! (That does absolutely nothing). The project will be updated over time, preferably per area, but that plan might change in the future.

Will Deltarune characters appear in this Undertale-focused AU? Yes! But will they be cameos? Will they be characters? Or will they be alternate versions of the characters? DOES she know where the hell she is? That’s for me to know and for you to find out.

Are there hidden secrets? Well, I certainly didn’t put any in there… If you find any… fun anomalies in your run-throughs, stay the course and absolutely ignore them. They are not important and definitely totally not worth investigating and thinking about whatsoever.

Will there ever be official full animations for story sections of the comic? There are no plans to. I like the interactive element here. I'm not gonna stop people from making fan-made animations, but I'm not gonna attempt anything officially.

Will there ever be voice acting? Not officially! I’m not gonna discourage fans from doing that stuff on their own. However, one of the joys I’ve always found in Undertale and Deltarune is being able to do your own voices for the characters, acting them out as you see fit, and I want to continue that spirit. If anything, YOU are the official VAs!

What are ambiguous characters like [X]'s pronouns in this AU? What do you think ambiguous characters like [X]'s pronouns are? There’s your answer right there; up to you.

Where can I find the old iterations of this AU? You can find those on the Versotale Tumblr page. I will warn you: You WILL cringe and feel agony witnessing some of my work from even just three years ago, hence the reason I started this entire new iteration of the AU in the first place.

Are you looking for any help? I've given thought to doing some sort of contest so fans could submit enemy designs. Aside from that consideration? I am not thinking of looking for any help.

Are you participating in any large AU community events? Only if I’m asked. It got a bit draining on me constantly trying to be involved in stuff back in the early days of this project, so I’ve made a vow to myself to stay out of larger community events unless asked to participate.

How many dogs are there in the comic? Count them for me. I’ll give you a specil prize if you get the number correct.

I finished the FAQ page on the website, and I figured, "Hey, why not show it off?"

Keep in mind, info here is subject to change! ALSO keep in mind, this is three full-screen captures edited together. The, uh, the entire FAQ will not be visible when you load up the website.

The good news, progress is being made! I'm saving the dreaded chapter page as one of the last things, as that is going to take up the biggest bulk of my time.

DBZ, rewritten

while i was brainstorming about my own main au, "From Eden", i was also thinking about a rewritten version of db, another AU i'd like to write someday but for now i just summarized it. you can read it under the divisor!

premise: there aren't ocs or too many headcanons of mine, just some ideas i thought they would've been cool to see instead of the plot we have now. i removed some things but i also inserted some new things i thought they would've been interesting. i didn't add moro or granola's sagas for some reasons i'll explain better later. hope you like it!

Until Frieza Saga, DB-DBZ stays as it is. But, from Chapter 330 of the manga things start changing. Mecha Frieza doesn’t exist, Future Trunks only comes (with a mask on his face) to warn Goku about the heart virus, then goes back to the future.

Although the warning, Goku carelessly dies anyway. Piccolo still trains Gohan and lives with him, the Ox King and ChiChi, who’s pregnant. After the Androids defeat, Piccolo trains Gohan at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, making him transform into Super Saiyan for the first time. Thus, as in canon, Gohan transforms into Super Saiyan 2 and defeats Cell.

For the 25th World Tournament (and so Majin Buu saga) Goku comes back to Earth for 24 hours and meets Goten for the first time. Goku tries to fight against Majin Buu, but he doesn’t stand a chance against him and is defeated. Goku and Piccolo train Goten and Trunks to make them fuse into Gotenks who, with Vegito’s help, tries to defeat Super Buu, but they get absorbed in the process. All of this happens while Gohan is trained by Shin and Old Kai, who awakens his potential and thus gains a part of Godly Ki. Shin and Kibito use their Potara earring to fuse into Kibitoshin, and helps Gohan to defeat Kid Buu. All the lives get resurrected, Gohan chooses to train with Shin on the Sacred World of Kai, becoming a Supreme Kai apprentice next to Kibito. Yet, still lives on Earth and marries Videl.

At Age 778, Bulma organizes her birthday party. At the same time, Beerus wakes up after his 39 years of slumber to look for the Super Saiyan God. After knowing there is a Saiyan with a glimpse of Godly Ki, he travels to the Sacred World of Kai, looking for Gohan. He isn’t there, so Kibitoshin tells him he shouldn’t disturb his apprentice while he’s on Earth—but Beerus goes there anyway. Vegeta tries to stop him, but he, along with Android 18, Piccolo and Gotenks, is defeated. Beerus only wants to fight Gohan, thus he chooses to try to fight him only with his Unlocked Potential. At a certain point of their fight, Gohan is able to transform into Super Saiyan God, leaving Kibitoshin speechless. After their fight ends in a tie, the birthday party continues and Gohan acknowledges he will be a father.

For formal reasons, Kibitoshin decides to unfuse and Shin continues to work as Supreme Kai, still having Gohan as his student. Since ChiChi has a lot of potential because of her demon origins, Shin chooses to train her, as well as Whis decides to help Gohan with his training too. During Gohan’s training, Vados and Champa pay Beerus a visit. Vados finds out Universe 6’s Earthlings are extinct, thus Champa wants Universe 7’s Earth for himself. They decide to do a Tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7, where Gohan meets Hit and Cabba for the first time. Gohan doesn’t need to transform into Super Saiyan God, until he fights against Hit and reaches Super Saiyan Blue, leaving Beerus and Shin surprised. Universe 7 wins and, like in canon, Beerus wishes for Universe 6’s Earthlings to be alive. In the same period, Gohan knows Zen’Oh due to one of the gods’ reunions.

At Age 780, Gohan realizes his daughter is starting to mysteriously develop some Ki alone and when he asks Shin to check her, he says she has definitely taken it from him. Gowasu and Zamasu pay Shin a visit and Gohan sees Kibito training with Zamasu for the first time. Zamasu, though, notices Gohan and thinks he’s even more powerful than Kibito--when he sees ChiChi being trained by Shin as well, he starts despising mortals even more and tries to attack ChiChi in front of Gowasu. When Gohan surprisingly blocks him, they start a battle that ends in a tie because both Gowasu and Shin forcibly stop them. When they return to Universe 10, like in canon, Gowasu makes Zamasu see the Babarian population from afar, but Zamasu kills one of them and his master tells him not to do it anymore as they return back home. A new Time Ring is created and when Shin notices it, Gohan starts wondering if it’s because of Zamasu like he previously thought when ChiChi was attacked. Gowasu returns to Universe 7, telling Shin that Zamasu disappeared. In fact, Whis finds out Zamasu has collected all the Super Dragon Balls to wish his body to be immortal. Piccolo and Dende confirm Zamasu is coming back and plans to destroy all humans. Gohan prepares for the fight, as well as Gotenks, while Bulma, Whis and Beerus watch them. During the fight, Gotenks is seriously wounded and Gohan’s Super Saiyan God transformation fades, while Zamasu’s body starts corrupting due to an overcharge of energy. Shin teleports both Gowasu and ChiChi with him, she surprisingly attacks him with the Z-Sword--that only Gohan was able to wield. Zamasu is finally wounded, but with Bulma’s plan, Beerus is able to kill him with his Hakai.

In the meantime, Dende tells Goku about Uub. So Goku teleports to the Sacred World of Kai to tell Shin about him. When Shin acknowledges Uub is actually Kid Buu’s reincarnation, he first thinks he could be a menace--but probably isn’t since he’s good. Gohan brings him to Mr. Satan’s house and meets Majin Buu, who apparently can take the form of the Grand Supreme Kai. Both Shin and the Grand Supreme Kai travel to find Uub, who’s currently training with King Chappa. Shin offers to fight Uub, and surprisingly finds out the child has a great potential. The Grand Supreme Kai is aware of the fact Uub is holding part of his power and suggests him to train with the two deities.

Twelve years later, Pan is thirteen years old and follows the same training as Gohan, who’s now the new Supreme (Demi)Kai. Shin, having now the rank of Grand Supreme Kai, is watching them through the training and Beerus wonders if Pan will ever be as strong as her father, Shin thinks the same about Bra, since she’s trained by Beerus and Whis. Bulma kept the Dragon Balls for another birthday party, but when she and the rest of the group summon Shenlong, a black dragon appears to explain the Dragon Balls have been overused, so they now have a negative energy within them. The Dragon Balls separate into several deities, thus Beerus suggests to send Pan, Bra and Uub to defeat the Shadow Dragons and recover the Dragon Balls in their normal state. Bra is the one who drives the ship, so she decides where to go first. The dragons are all pretty much the same as in canon, but the trio will fight against the last three evil dragons, Uub fights against San Shenlong, Bra against Shu Shenlong, while Pan fights against Omega Shenlong, unlocking her potential as her father did. Once they defeat the dragons, the Dragon Balls return back to normal. Shenlong asks Pan if she wants to train with him, but she refuses and says she soon wants to become Supreme Kai as Gohan did.

[lastbluetardis]

I really, really want to say all of them cause I love love LOVE all your writing and fics, but I'll leave something for others and say 2 and 8 (of course, if you'd like to feed into my obsession with your marvelous fics and do them all, I'd absolutely love that! Lol ;p :)

Haha! Thank you, sweet Nonnie! :D Several people have been playing along with this game and there have been no repeats so far, so hopefully you see my answers to them so you can see more of those WIPs.

#2 = PM Rewrite. This is the document I’m using to work on my rewrite of my fic Perfect Match. So far I’ve rewritten and reposted the first three chapters, and I’m nearly finished with fixing up chapter four. I first wrote PM back in late 2016, and it’s incredible how much my writing style has changed and grown over the last 4-5 years. So I decided to work on cleaning up that fic and adding new scenes and making it not sound like 22-year-old Ashley’s writing anymore 😂 I’m running into the problem that I want to add so many more scenes that these chapters are nearly doubling in original length 😂

Snippet from Chapter 4 of Perfect Match Rewrite:

Though his parents reassured him otherwise, James felt no better about their impending separation, especially when he noticed his parents becoming more subdued as the week went on. He tried to make himself scarce to give them time alone, and he didn’t even have the heart to tease them when he overheard them being intimate together nearly every night before he and his mum were due to depart for the UK.

Finally, the fateful morning came. He and his mother had an early flight to Heathrow, and so, at four in the morning, he was shaken awake by his father’s gentle hands and ordered to get dressed. James was practically a zombie as he pulled on the jeans and long-sleeve t-shirt he’d set out the night before. He splashed his face with cool water and brushed his teeth, but that was all he could muster before he joined his parents in the kitchen. The smell of coffee was nauseating so early in the morning, and he wrinkled his nose at the offer of breakfast.

“We’ll eat something at the airport,” his mum said. “Grab your bags, Jamie.”

James shuffled to the front door and grabbed his backpack, which would be his carry-on item, and his suitcase that was filled with just enough clothes to get him through the summer. The rest of his clothes were packed up in boxes to be shipped to San Francisco.

The drive to the airport was mostly silent, with James dozing in the back seat while his parents talked quietly. His dad fussed with them, making sure they had everything they needed, namely their passports, their tickets, and their in-flight entertainment in their carry-on bags.

#8 = Soulmates AU Scene Dump. This is the doc I’ve kept all of my ideas/outlines/random future scenes for my Soulmates Series (Perfectly Matched). I have had so many ideas for this family, and I’ve written so much future content, out to Baby #6 for the family. I’ll have to rewrite a lot of these scenes when I eventually get to the point of being able to use them, because this family has grown in different directs than when I first jotted down these scenes. But it’s a great starting point for me.

Scene Dump snippet:

“Can I get a kitten?”

James blinked at his eldest, then peeked over at Rose from the corner of his eye. She looked just as taken aback as he was, letting him know she was on the same page.

“Darling,” he said gently, “I don’t think that’s a very good idea.”

“Why not?” she demanded.

“Well, the house is a little busy, right now,” he said. “There are three babies in this house. What if a kitten wants to play rough and accidentally hurts one of them? And kittens take a lot of work, and Mum and I don’t have that kind of time to spare.”

“But I’ll take care of him!” she said earnestly. “You and Mum won’t have to do a thing. He’ll sleep in my room and I’ll keep him away from the babies. But he’s really sweet, he wouldn’t hurt anyone.”

Ainsley’s cheeks flushed red and she bit her lip before dropping her gaze to her shoes.

After a beat of silence, Rose finally asked the question that was floating in his mind. “Ainsley… have you already gotten a kitten without telling us?”

“Not technically,” she whispered sheepishly.

“What does ‘not technically’ mean?” James asked sternly, trying to ignore Ainsley’s big, pleading eyes.

“I didn’t technically get him… I found him,” she answered softly. “In the woods before supper.”

Thanks for asking!

Underverse Opening Brain Creator Thoughts

Warning: Blood, death, devastation, violence, lots of it, not great written fight scenes, creator rambles.

"In the face of tension, pain and devastation... The connection that's between our hearts..." Cue the showcase of many skeleton boys as well as their respective sonas. "Is reaching through the time!" It then cuts to Ivy startling and then looking over as her eyes widen in horror as it cuts to the title card. "Through the time!" It showcases someone smirking at her as others surround them.

Then, as it continues, it shows a fight between Dusk and Bliss before it cuts to another fight. The fighting continues as someone seems to interrupt it and the twins look over in horror.

It shows a variety of scenes after:

It then shows Marguerite tensing and looking over.

Willow fixed her scarf and looked away.

Primrose holding a piece of fabric before she looks up.

It shows Nerium moving her hand from her cheek to under her chin.

Then it shows Flori pulling her hair free of a ponytail.

It shows Marigold dancing happily as she pauses to glance over and Primula stops dancing as water that was floating falls around her.

Azalea rests her hand on her chest as she startles and looks around.

It shows Hollyhock biting her lip as she then reaches out towards something glowing.

It shows Ivy gripping her necklace as her magic glows and then she closes her eyes as the camera pans.

"You, so tired and cold stand here, between the worlds..." It shows Tusche and Lenovo waking up with their brothers confused as children. They have some people reaching for them. "Each of them you saw get broken to the core..." It then shows the dust of the people and then their conflict as it grew. "Dark is creeping closer..." It shows someone writing and then smirking as a creature comes to life. "Spark in your heart's frozen..." It shows a ghost skeleton monster glance over, her eyes glowing before she turns to mist. The camera pans... "There's nothing left anymore." It shows an angel skeleton monster yelling and reaching before the AU falls apart around them.

"When a dream turns into a nightmare!" It shows Dusk and Bliss facing off but then time cuts to them as Myrsky soothes Bliss and Archemoros fights Dusk in a looming large form. "Truth is right there!" It shows Archemoros besting Dusk, but then it cuts... "Gotta stay determined! (Listen to your heart and let it be your guiding star!)" Ivy is stranded in the anti-void as mechanical creatures surround her and she stays frozen. Her eyes widen in horror as an attack, but before it hits a skeleton with a mask scoops her up.

"Fight to push back the night!" It shows Acrylic using paints as Virus uses his strings. Comet and Umbra tag team as the creatures attack with beams and a figure looms above them. "No matter the pain and this plain devastation!" It shows Dusk and Bliss working together as Tusche and Lenovo work to push back the creatures. Cecilia and Poison help fight back as well. "For all the creations' sake -" It shows the masked skeleton avoiding attacks and weaving through as the princess carries Ivy. "Do not be afraid!" Ivy blinks in surprise.

"Together, we'll save everything-!" It shows Marguerite and Willow back to back as Marguerite grows confident and Willow seems angry. Nerium guards Flori as Primula and Marigold dance circles around the enemies. Azalea is healing while clasping her hands together and looking up. Primrose is helping heal with Azalea. "and make a new alternation!" It then cuts to Hollyhock, barely holding on, bleeding as she reaches for the "Break the Barrier button" and she hits it as she falls.

Time resets... And Ivy wakes up.

"Has this all been planned by one infernal hand?" It shows the enemy talking to someone as he finishes his next bot. "Made to play their role, the universes fall..." It shows Senna sitting in the void as she writes something down. She clenches her teeth as flowers bloom on her neck. "Lies are spreading fast, and lives get turned to dust..." It shows Senna lowering her pen as she sees the constant fighting of the Outcode group and looks displeased. "Is this deserved by them all?"

"Gotta step in, stop the daydream." Senna looks even more displeased as the fighting grows worse. She looks at her hands, she has to do something. "Your hearts filling with determination!" She wants them to survive this time. She wants everyone to survive.... She'll deal with this. "(Cannot pick the bridge when it's already time to cross!)" She steps forward a lightning strike forms as she raises her hand.

"Fight to bring back the light!" It shows the Outcode fighting before Senna decides to finally intervene. She moves forward as she their attacks deflect off her and her mask holds strong. "There won't be a sign of divine intervention!" It then cuts to a nasty fight between the enemy and the group, but now they're in unison.

"To save this dimension -!" It shows Captain and Cardinal tag teaming enemies together. Brass and Jet smoothly avoid fighting as they take out enemies together. Clove is protecting Hydra as Cinnamon heals Hydrangea and Harper. Glamour and Caramel are caring the back as the Dance boys dance around their enemies. Vanilla is carrying his brother as he shows off, but then it shows.... "Go, let's rise from below!" It shows Navy and Ebony joining the fray as they attack. It shows Sentinel and the other Angels not backing off as they're backed by the demons. "We have to take it all in our hands and show our true determination!" It shows the skeletons all joined together, but as Ivy ran, she fell into a crack and the skeleton who grabbed her reached for her. He falls after her.

It shows the two free-falling as Ivy seems to recall something.

"In the face of tension, pain and devastation... The connection that's between our hearts..." It shows Ivy sitting in a group of blurry and distorted groups as she stands by a familiar masked skeleton.

"Ivy!" The voice of the skeleton breaks her out as he reaches for her father.

"Is reaching through the time!" Ivy's eyes are blurred as she remembers her friends, the war, the death... All the death... "What's this feeling in my heart?" Ivy slowly reaches back as her eyes slowly unblur and she recalls who's reaching for her. "We're connected, though apart..." She can see her soul as his reaches for her.

"In the face of tension, pain, and devastation..." Ivy opens her mouth, willing it to work. She recalls everything as her soul glows more and her magic engulfs his. "Now I know I am filled with determination!"

"Honeycomb!" Her voice finally worked as he grabbed her hand and they're back in the fray.

"Live! You gotta believe!" As Ivy comes to, Honeycomb is holding her as Aquamarine joins the fray with Rain and Heath. They're fighting together as a trio. "Whoever you are, feel your star shining brighter!" It shows Undyne fighting as Asgore and Toriel protect the kids. Athena and Beryl were tag teaming together. The group fights as one as Tara and Theodoric help heal. "To bring back the light of day!" Oriel runs in and throws her spear through a great number of machines. Della is helping as best she can as the fight continues. "We cannot delay!"

"It is all or nothing, my friend..." Ivy pulls away from Honeycomb as she gets up. She helps the other sonas stand up as her body glows in her mafic. "So, right to the end, together we'll stand and-!" Marguerite guards Ivy on both sides as Willow helps guard the back. They nod at her.

"Fight to push back the night!" It cuts to Floryn closing her book and then her hands glow as Ivy pushes through the group as she dodges attacks. She is running now as her fellow sonas fight and fall. "No matter the pain and this plain devastation!" Willow fights hard and never backs down, Marguerite fights and doesn't hold back, and Nerium guards Flori as Primula and Marigold dance circles around the enemies, but even they fall. Azalea is guarding them with her magic as Hollyhock supplies more magic. Primrose helps supply the magic before Ivy runs.

"For all the creations' sake -!" Acrylic and his brother are fighting, but they're getting outnumbered. Cecilia is holding her hands together as Senna helps guard Ivy from a distance. Ivy winces and holds her bleeding side as she runs.

"Do not be afraid." A voice pushes Ivy harder. She listens to the voice as she runs and bleeds. She reaches for the button, the button to save the group again.

"Together, we'll save everything and make a new alternation!" Ivy hits the button as she smiles at Honeycomb one last time before...

She wakes up.

Hey Gaëlle ! Est-ce-que tu aurais des recommendations de fic Destiel ? Sans trop de smut, surtout pas beta/Omega (c'est même plus du smut à ce niveau-là...) et beaucoup de pining ? ( Je devrai être en train de réviser mes partiels d'ailleurs... 😅). Merci beaucoup ! 😌

Hellooo ! Alors tu as frappé à la bonne porte parce que je lis jamais de smut, ou alors quand c’est dans des longues fics, je passe juste ces passages là. (mais j’aime beaucoup les fic a/b/o qui ont pas de smut, parce que les sentiments sont quintuplés donc pining + angst on a whole other level). Y’a peu de fluff dans mes fics préférées, love me some angsty life and death moments, mais ça finit toujours bien. Enfin. Vérifie les tags quand même :)))) J’ai mis les liens, si y’a pas c’est qu’elles ont été supprimées mais j’ai les pdf donc hit me up.Et révise tes partiels !!!!

CANON

A turn of the earth -https://archiveofourown.org/works/5138552/chapters/11825306

Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

Frigging fantastic.

(Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

Probably my favorite fic set in Canon. It’s set around season 11, and I love how we dive into Dean’s past pre-series and then as time goes by, we catch up with the show timeline’s. It’s incredibly well written.

525,600 Minutes - https://archiveofourown.org/works/507228/chapters/892693

A man wakes up alone on the streets of Detroit. Lost and somehow forgotten, he's dressed in blood-soaked clothing without memories and without a name.

This is his journey to find it.

It was first published in 2012 set after s5, but it was rewritten last year. I still have the old version for nostalgia’s sake but the new version is even better. It’s got some amnesia so great for pining :))))

The inexhaustible silence of houses -https://archiveofourown.org/works/560268/chapters/1000755

Almost two years after the world doesn't end, Castiel falls from grace—and loses his voice in the process. It is the impetus for confession and change; before long, he is settling into a loving relationship with Dean, the Winchesters are tired, and hunting for a place to land has taken precedence to hunting anything else. Dean and Castiel fall in love with the strange little house on the end of Swallowtail Drive, and for a little while life is as it should be—sweet, affectionate, and beginning afresh.

But more and more Castiel sees and hears things in the house that beg the question of whether or not a place itself can be alive. The walls and rooms seem to shift and grow and breathe, and one night, Dean comes home from a hunt changed in a way that Castiel cannot explain. In the months that follow, their domestic bliss takes turns for the dark and sour, and the confusion of their circumstances will ultimately test everything Castiel knows about the man he loves, and everything he believes to be true.

Listen, I cried. I cried SO MUCH. There was a lil fandom war going on for a time between which was the hardest, this one or Twist and Shout, and both destroy me completely. But this one is set in canon and closer to the characters, to me, so I’ll always recommend this one first (unless you want a happy ending, in which case, don’t read it)

Only if for a night - https://archiveofourown.org/works/826303

Castiel is captured by a djinn. Dean goes slightly crazy, and Cas discovers a thing or two about himself.

I’m a sucker for Dean/Cas in Djinn verse and this one is by far my favorite.

The Bird That Feels The Light (not slash) https://archiveofourown.org/works/210860

AU from 5.18 (or thereabouts). Castiel awakens in the middle of a smoking crater, stranded and very much human. According to the people who have discovered him, it’s six months to the day after Michael and Lucifer faced off on the field of battle outside of Detroit, and Castiel isn’t the only one to have returned. When, at his insistence, they take him to this other person, he finds a child –a little boy– and realizes that, contrary to all his expectations, he has been reunited with Dean Winchester. The world has changed in their absence, and not for the better. Sam is gone, whether dead or simply missing is uncertain. Castiel is given the name of a man in Idaho who may have answers for him. He is faced with the task of travelling cross-country with Dean, who is dependent on him now in ways he never was before, in order to discover the truth. But along the way, as he and Dean learn to know and trust each other once more, Castiel begins to realize that the answers he thought he wanted might not be the ones he needs.

It’s not slash at all since Dean is a kid but I’ve read it probably about 20 times and I still love it as the first time. There’s just something about human Castiel carrying a 4 year old Dean across the world and fighting monsters and demons and humans to survive that gets to me.

Hands, From Which All Things Are Built - https://archiveofourown.org/works/747324

Castiel travels with the angel tablet and without the Winchesters. One day, Dean gets a text from some anonymous number. (They speak in the language of need.) A post-08.17 Goodbye, Stranger story.

If you want pining, this one is definitely for you.

Last Man Standing - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8363328/1/Last-Man-Standing

This one is set just after the season 7 finale, it’s a Purgatory fic with so.much.pining I always need to hold a pillow to my chest when I read it or I go insane sdfghjkl I haven’t read it in probably 4 years but I remember absolutely loving it.

Outrun my gun - https://archiveofourown.org/works/281887/chapters/448388

"The two of you are so stubborn you've made Heaven blink." Finally convinced that Sam and Dean will never say yes and accept their destinies, Heaven and Hell come up with a new plan, one that will redraw the Apocalypse and make everything run much more smoothly. All they need is Dean Winchester's soul.

Don’t mind the MCD tag, it’s got a happy ending. Also a classic set in canon, it’s from 2011 so quite oldish but it’s incredible how the characterization is on point. Love love love it.

AU

Tramps Like Us

Dean Winchester's life is falling apart. He's lost his job, his apartment, and his brother, all in one day. He seems to break everything he touches. Frustrated and alone, he drives off into the night with no idea where he's headed. But then he meets Castiel Novak, a quiet and reclusive man with a haunted past, and suddenly he finds himself with a very specific destination in mind.

I feel like everyone has read Tramps Like Us but just in case, I’ll put it on the list. Not sure what I can say that hasn’t been said by half this website already but well… it deserves the hype.

Til The Last - https://archiveofourown.org/works/1001935/chapters/1984189

When the war came, Dean Winchester was determined that he was not going to get involved. He had more important things to worry about than some rich man’s fight. He had work on the farm and he had taking care of his family. Nothing else was worth his worry. But in August in the Year of Our Lord 1863, when the soldiers came knocking, they weren’t asking. They dragged Dean away. 

Dean and Cas have been best friends since they were kids. When Dean is drafted into the Confederate army, to what lengths will Castiel go to ensure that Dean makes it back home alive?

OH BOY. OHHHHH I could talk about that one until the day I die. It’s a complete AU but it has great parallels to canon, it’s incredibly well written, humanity in all it’s ugly truth and “I will fight for you ‘til the last, Dean Winchester” jesus christ it’s so good, so good

Out of the Deep - https://archiveofourown.org/works/548878

Stay away from the light-beds. Stay in the deep.

It is the first thing hatchlings are taught the moment their fans unfurl and they can swim without their parents to buoy them along. It is the first rule, the first law. It is the beginning of every boogey-monster bedtime story told when they settle against the cliffs to sleep.

Castiel should have listened better.

I love everything she writes but I think this one if my favorite. It’s sooooo long, and angsty as fuck but all ends well and it has some very fluffy moments. If you’re into this kinf of AU then 100% go for it.

To Raise a King - https://archiveofourown.org/works/1961403

This must be some kind of horrible joke at Castiel’s expense. Is he truly expected to protect a King? One who has been their enemy for as long as he can remember? He is much more suited to being a part of the army, or at the very least someone who helps to train the knights. That would be far more preferred than having to watch over the King. It means Castiel would get to keep fighting – and that’s the only way he knows to give meaning to his life.

An AU too, Cas is tasked to watch over Sam and Dean -there’s an 8 year age difference between Dean and Cas. I loved it because it’s set over about 15 years and Cas is asexual and I love time period AU in general :’)

Painted Angels https://archiveofourown.org/works/1085792

Author Castiel Novak has finally hit the big time, with a book based on his failed college relationship with a brilliant painter. He's put all his pain behind him, but at a book signing, he comes face to face with Dean Winchester for the first time in twelve years, and the reunion doesn't go like Cas hoped. Dean's a broken man, with a lot of scars and secrets, shoulders weighed down by his demons and self loathing. Cas sees a second chance with the man he's never stopped loving, but Dean's moved on, and is about to get married. Sam launches a "brilliant" plan to reunite his brother and his best friend, but Cas is worried it will all blow up in their faces, and he'll go through the agony of losing Dean a second time.

This one is hard to read because for the most part, it’s heartbreaking. There are happy flashbacks all along but it’s still hard when what happens in the present it’s a fucking tragedy. But I would still read it a thousand times over, and the timestamp completely make up for all the pining and the angst. It’s rare to find fics that last an entire lifetime.

🌼Ok! Here we go! A few people asked me about Fellswap or SwapFell which understandably so I think by now everyone here knows my love for anything with Fell tacked onto the back of it. Secret discussion though that I adore Fellswap Papyrus and Sans so I had to make my own! As always I have rewritten the entire verse to have my own personal touch to it! I will just describe the main ideas and maybe some key character details in the process! Hope you all enjoy and if you would like to see more of these boys let me know! 

The Surface: 

I want to talk about the humans on the surface first to kind of set the stage for what this AU is going to be based upon. The surface has been overrun by corrupt leaders. It is very much the concept of big brother. If you are seen as a threat you will be immediately thrown into “prison” without a trial. They hold occasional public trials in the guise of being fair. Just as WTU claims, the very concept of magic is a threat to them so those that have it are quickly disposed of but leaders don’t always do the dirty work themselves. No. In fact, they use another source by means of execution...the monsters. 

More accurately it is very similar to the idea of throwing your enemies into a kind of gladiatorial arena. It is not technically considered an execution if circumstances lead to death. The humans are not stupid they know what is going on. Some believe in rebellion against the state and some wonder if the monsters could fix their corrupt world. Either way, the corruption continues and they are not above tossing innocents into “the pit” if it suits their agenda.  “The Pit” (aka the Underworld/Underground): 

The underworld is broken up into different factions by location. The only location without a faction or any type of ruler is The Ruins, because of its size and its isolation this is where humans try to reach for some form of Salvation. Asgore, the caretaker, has made it into an encampment for those that have fallen (the innocent ones). It is almost like a refugee camp only unfortunately very few make it to Asgore’s safe haven. He does his best. Poor goat dad. He is not like canon Toriel however as he will use violence if necessary as he knows that the humans are simply using them as tools to get rid of who they deem criminal. There are signs of old campfires, broken tents, and habitation. 

Before The Ruins is, of course, the main factions. I know a lot of creators tend to swap location names and since Snowdin is the beginning and my boy Crimson is one of the most powerful in the Underworld I am going to as well. Here is the list. Snowdin=Magmire, Waterfall=Windyspires, Hotland=Tundra. The Underworld is also backward to some extent. The humans end up trapped in The Capital instead and they have to make their way to The Ruins to escape. So it would go like this: The Capital -> Tundra ->Windyspires ->Magmire. The closer the faction to the capital the higher the rank in other words because both Grimm and Crimson live in Tundra and he is the lord of it he is one of the most notorious. 

“It’s Hunt or be Hunted”: 

The modo of this verse. Why? Well after so many centuries of humans being disposed of by monsters they become horribly bored. It also adds fuel to Queen Toriel’s fire that one of the humans that fell down the first time killed her son (;~; RIP my precious boy). That is when they realized that humans weren’t just falling into the Underworld they were not only throwing them down to them but also throwing the worst of the worst. 

At first, they just capture them hold them in the Capitals network of catacombs but then some began to escape causing damage across their “new home” Toriel wouldn’t allow it. Very much later it turns into a game of cat and mouse. The humans are detained and released and the monsters hunt them down. It used to be a protection thing but now it’s become a sick twisted death game. The forests of Tundra are littered with traps and deadly pitfalls along with the rest of the locations. 

Each faction has a lord or lady that rules over it. The ones loyal to Toriel’s (As a side note she is known as the ice queen) regime and their supposed way of life. This also means the closest ones receive the most benefits. Tundra is the one with the most prestige and of course other monsters are trying to stip that title from its current holder, The Crimson Lord. Due to Crimson’s loyalty, he is almost exempt from any wrongdoing in the Queens' eyes which means he can do pretty much anything he wants. Which is dangerous and I will explain why in a bit.

I have a faction ruler list sitting here so I am going to add that to this as well. They are as follows, of course, this does not account for potential power struggles during the story:  Tundra -> Lord: Crimson, Lady: N/A

Windyspires -> Lord? (I mean she wouldn’t want to be called a lady SHE IS TOO TOUGH FOR THAT!): Alphys, Lady: Undyne

Magmire->Lord: Grillby, Lady: Muffet

Some of the lords or ladies will keep humans as servants and things of that nature if they are able to be on their captor's good side. Some live good lives but others just become slaves essentially. It’s not a common occurrence in this I just wanted to make a note of it. 

The Brothers Grimm: 

Let’s get to the main event here. The two boys this post is showing. My Fellswap Sans and Paprus. Now I honestly was not planning to do them but I just. I love the puppy boi and I adore @cocofinny , @bis-cvit , @skesgo , @imjustalazycat and so many other interpretations of him. This... is mine. Sans name is Crimson, or the Crimson Lord and Papyrus is Grimm. I chose those names because originally I wanted a vampire and werewolf dynamic between the two and I think that still shines through. (I ain’t changin it~) Crim is the regal sophisticated seducer and Grimm is the wild possessive flirty type. 

Let’s talk about Grimm. Grimm is the wilder of the two brothers and is very much a predator type. His name is derived from the mythos of the Grimm or Black dog. I wanted to keep that dark omen symbology in both his name and design. He slinks around in the shadows so that the black dog aspect is not far off. He also loves watching from trees so if you see a shadow over you, whoops.  He enjoys the catching and hunting aspect of his job and even plays around with his “toys” (I know how that sounds) when he finds them. He will specifically call anyone “chew toy” in a mocking kind of way. That does not mean though that he will not spare you if he catches you. He is naturally curious by things. Fun fact he has a little skele tail too. Unlike his brother, Grimm doesn’t really have an ego he just finds his job fun. HE IS A GIANT PUPPY BOI WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

He admires his brother but he is not bound to his brother. In other words no master, dog nonsense. He is, however, the more accepting of the two. If he is asked to do something he doesn’t like then he most likely won’t. Also just because he has the whole puppy thing going on doesn’t mean he isn’t smart and cunning. Again he likes to play around with those he finds sometimes not even dragging them back to his brother for a while. If you are a threat he will kill you but if you’re not you can probably get on his good side. If he thinks you are cute he will probably flirt with you too. He is not beyond that. He plays the part of the dog quite well though well all know that there is more to him then that as is any Sans archetype. 

Crimson is more sophisticated. He doesn’t go out on “hunts” himself often as he has a faction to rule over but those brought to him will see first hand that he is an insufferable flirt. He also has a bad habit of keeping mementos from those he deems worthy (what those are... you don’t want to know). He is stern with his brother and seems very outwardly cold to most unless he is playing up his charm. He is not someone you want to make angry as Toriel considers him to also be the Bloody Lord. His weapon of choice is a scythe so if that doesn’t give the executioner vibe then I have no idea what will. His drinks of choice are red wine and champagne specifically the pink kind. Have to keep up that pink/ red aesthetic. Crimson’s incisor teeth also have that vampire point to them. They are longer than the rest of them (You can’t see it here since I decided to edit this prior to writing this up). There is far more to Crimson than just this as their backstories dictate but I wanted to give a general feel for what they are both like. 

Is there a story? 

Yes, there is. I will make it relatively short since this post is already massive in size. In my version, there are two siblings that fall into this world both twins. One is Frisk and the other is Chara. Since this is a swap, Frisk is more aggressive of the two and highly protective of her sister. Chara is the sweet and kind one that will abstain from any violence at all. Now Frisk in this is not the usual Chara swap because I want them to find their place amongst the world. Frisk has no problem using violence as a means of protection and self-defense but she won’t actively look for a fight. 

Why are they here you ask? Well, sadly they have magic within their souls hence the soul traits. They both also have the same soul outwardly, Determination, however, there is one other trait that is housed within their soul that makes them very different. Frisk’s is perseverance and Chara’s is kindness. As usual, the leaders of the Ebott Empire are threatened by their potential for magical abilities and as such are sentenced to be executed. Thus they become part of the hunt. 

Guess who runs into them? Frisk is the first to be captured by none other than Crimson and Chara is found by Grimm. It is strange that Crimson is not his usual self in their circumstances as he can tell, unlike so many others that they have captured in the past, that they are very different. Grimm can’t bring himself to harm Chara due to her innocence and Crimson enjoys Frisks headstrong and sassy attitude. In other words *slaps hands on table* you get a two for one. One Papyrus X Chara and one Frisk X Sans. They are adults by the way. 

Eventually much to Crimson’s reluctance they decide to help them escape as unlike most of the AU the monsters have no problem staying this way. Not all of them agree but the Lords certainly love their titles and don’t want to give up that power...that is until Frisk mentions that all those horrible corrupted humans on the surface could be like one giant... hunt. In which case Crimson is alll for so is Grimm but he is not dying to get to the surface. 

They make it to Asgore (who has all the souls btw the barrier is in The Ruins) who tries to get them to stay instead of sacrificing one of them for their freedom. It’s obvious that the brothers actually don’t want either of them to die. 

As Crimson says: “What is another century or two? We have all the time in the world.”  

Frisk and Chara become integrated into the Underworld and though Grimm continues his hunting he doesn’t want Chara to witness it. Crimson just has Frisk as his little huntress. It is unclear if they will make it out of the Underworld in this AU. It really depends upon how I feel the story would make the most sense and I think having the two sisters happy with and accepted into their lives is all they really wanted. They were considered “monsters” on the surface so why return there? (unless to watch it burn... of course). 

I have a lot more for this AU so feel free to drop any questions you may have in my ask box! I know this is a huge post so I really appreciate you all sticking with me if you made it this far! I really have enjoyed making my own FS for what I am now tagging Friskys multiverse! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

It’s finally here! Here’s my piece for the BNHA Flash Bang. It’s an Asylum AU where UA is an asylum and BNHA Canon is just Izuku’s hallucination. Needless to say, this is pretty dark so please take heed of the warnings carefully. Read at AO3 for some story notes.

Many thanks to @bnhaflashbang for organizing this bang and to @creativebluegalaxy for working on the wonderful art for this fic! ^^

Title: corrupted lens; [AO3 link]

Summary: Midoriya Izuku’s life changes when the Number One Hero tells him he can be a hero. Taken as his protégé, Izuku trains under All Might and manages to get into UA—the best hero school in the world! But that is just the beginning, for a big evil is rising from the shadows, threatening the world of heroes.

(Aizawa Shouta is tired. Of all his current patients at Ulysses Asylum, no one gives him more sleepless nights than Midoriya Izuku, the boy who was kidnapped and tortured by the infamous serial killer All Might—the boy who went missing for ten months and never came back.)

Rating: Teen and Up

Ship: None

Warnings: Mentions of Rape/Non-Con, Underage, Injury, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Kidnapping, Violence, Implied/Referenced Torture, Stockholm Syndrome and Mentally Ill Characters

When Izuku wakes up, he doesn’t expect to be greeted by the familiar white walls of the infirmary.

He could only blink sluggishly, disoriented as he is, trying to remember what happened before he fell asleep. Did he get injured in another battle simulation? Izuku winces at the thought. If that is indeed the case, then that means he broke his promise again. Didn’t Recovery Girl say she won’t use her quirk on him if he injured himself again? All Might must be so disappoi—

(A body destroyed by a fierce fight, sickly and emaciated, yet still standing tall.)

All… Might…

(An arm stretching outwards, worn from battle but never wavering.)

All Might?

(An ever-present grin, somehow embodying both encouragement and promise.)

Where are you—?

(“You’re next.”)

“All Might!” Izuku screamed.

The sudden influx of memories is nothing short of torturous. Not only do they remind him of the heavy weight of the mantle his mentor has left him to carry, but the fact that the reign of All Might has ended fills him with despair.

One by one and all at once, Izuku can’t tell which emotions emerge and where they end. Anger, sadness, heartbreak—fear like no other. All Might is gone. His hero may not be dead, but already the world feels bleaker; Izuku can feel the gaping hole the Symbol of Peace has left behind deep in his bones.

Izuku can only cry and cry, grieving the loss of his hero. He mourns the man who saved his life, who encouraged his dreams when no one else did, who believed in him no matter what, and who taught him how to live for other’s sake—how to be a hero.

His mom, his teachers, his classmates—not a single one of them believed he could achieve his dreams, that Izuku could be special. One by one, they broke him down, until only a sliver of hope remained.

But All Might gave him a chance, and as hard as his training was, All Might had given him more hope than anyone else has. Now that he’s passing on the baton, Izuku shouldn’t cower—he should bravely answer his call.

Now more than ever, the people need a hero to look up to, to keep them safe; they need a Symbol of Peace. Determined, he bats away the fear and loneliness that restrains him from moving forward.

With All Might’s power residing in me, I can’t lose.

“… to break curfew but Kacchan was in danger, Sensei. We had to save him, and it was the only way…”

“We managed to put him under.”

Shouta looks up at Shuuzenji-san’s entrance, pausing the video. Her usually immaculate hairdo’s in disarray, probably from rushing to Midoriya’s room. Shouta was just watching the recording of yesterday’s session when Midoriya, who was asleep, suddenly started screaming.

“Hopefully, this doesn’t happen again,” she continues, “but if he wakes up this violently once more, we’d have no choice but to restrain him in his sleep too.”

“Did he hurt himself?”

“No, but he did manage to punch the orderlies holding him down and wake the other residents.” She eyes him sternly. “Speaking of sleep, when was the last time you had some, young man?”

Shouta sighs, fully aware of what she sees. The panda eyes, the scruffy face, the littered coffee cups and strewn out sleeping bag—the room has all the evidence for a typical Aizawa Overnighter. He’s been up for almost 57 hours, but she doesn’t have to know that. He just has to last a few more hours before he can finally pass out.

“Had no choice,” he grunts, resolutely turning back to the computer. “Someone has to keep an eye on Ward 1A before the patients try to break out again.”

He hears her sigh behind him but she doesn’t argue further as she sits next to him. It’s hard to put up too much fuss when this is already the second incident this week. Patients escaping is already a cause for alarm, but a mentally-unstable criminal breaking into their facility? Even worse. No one even realized he was in the building until the guards were alerted that someone unauthorized was attempting to access Midoriya’s room.

Shouta clenches his fist, immediate anger springing up at the thought of the vile man. Hasn’t he destroyed that boy’s life enough?

When Shouta first took Midoriya Izuku as his patient, he never thought it would be easy—but he never expected it to be this hard.

Shouta first heard about Midoriya in the news, whose case had blown up in the media. A fourteen-year-old boy who vanished on his way home from school, the police were notified of his disappearance a full week after he went missing—and only because Midoriya’s teacher called his mother to inquire about his absence. By then, it was assumed the boy committed suicide after evidence of bullying and domestic violence (to which Midoriya Inko is currently serving jail time for) came to light. But when investigators found no body, the missing boy’s estranged father Midoriya Hisashi insisted on continuing the search.

That’s when the letters started to appear.

Signed by All Might—the serial killer most known for the Musutafu Massacre where he videotaped himself laughing as he set off multiple bombs placed under a commercial district, killing hundreds and injuring more—the case got more notorious. For the first time since his apparent “retirement” five years ago, the criminal once again resurfaced like the boogeyman. He sent pictures and videos of him “training” Midoriya to become his “successor”, laughing menacingly as he repeatedly abused the boy, both physically and sexually, until he passed out.

It took ten months before they found him, and even then All Might was already long gone. Evidence of malnutrition, incorrectly-healed bones, head trauma, multiple lacerations, and fresh traces of semen were found on Midoriya. After his brief stint at Musutafu General Hospital, he was immediately placed in Ulysses Asylum (better known as ‘UA’) by his father, in the hopes of his son’s recovery.

Shouta immediately knew something was strange during their first session. Midoriya’s eyes were slightly unfocused, despite the sedatives having already left his system. He spoke of “quirks” as special abilities instead of behavioral habits, of becoming a “hero” and defeating “villains”—concepts that Shouta knew to be fantasy but Midoriya believed as truth. It’s like his brain has been completely rewritten to view the world as a superpowered society—like a corrupted lens that obscures his eyes from the full truth.

Though he’s aware of his surroundings to a point, his brain filters any fact that doesn’t align with its version of reality. Midoriya would talk fondly about his abusive mother making him his favorite food, gush about his kidnapper helping him make his dreams come true, about the patients in Ward 1A and how they’re all training to become heroes.

Midoriya Izuku views the world like a comic book where he is its protagonist—the once powerless boy who will become the greatest hero. After the abuse and trauma he experienced, it’s the only way his brain could cope.

Aside from that and a self-sacrificing streak that borders on self-harm, there’s technically nothing wrong with him. During his stay, he’s managed to demonstrate his high IQ, make friends, and encourage a few tight-lipped patients to open up more. Though there’s been little progress in realigning Midoriya’s “worldview”, the fact that he’s responding well to his stay here is already a big leap forward.

That is until five days ago, when All Might broke into UA. More than ten people in the staff were injured driving that lunatic away from Midoriya, including Yamada, who Shouta usually switches shifts with. Hence, the ridiculous overtime.

At least the bastard’s finally in police custody, Shouta thinks, recalling the reveal of the man’s identity on the news. As unbiased as he should be, seeing Yagi Toshinori in cuffs brings both relief and vicious satisfaction. It’s a big cause for celebration everywhere—to finally have the monster responsible for many murders right where he belongs.

But that doesn’t mean all is well.

Seeing Yagi must have triggered something in Midoriya; why else would he have tried to escape after months of clean behavior? And now it seems like he’s beginning to act out even more. The only question is why.

Shouta sighs. The Midoriya on the screen just looks at him beseechingly, wrapped up in the straitjacket they put him in after leading an escape attempt with some of the other patients.

This problem child will be the death of him.

* about melinda patricia halliwell !

so until a get an actual theme up, here’s a summary of how i’m gonna be portraying my melinda this time around.

my melinda is primarily morality bites based.

piper and prue escaped with phoebe and left melinda behind to be raised by leo and wendy beauchamp ( @ wouldntdie hi beth ily )

so melinda never used magic and when did faced the consequences from leo and wendy because they didn’t want melinda to be executed of course

melinda couldn’t control her powers so when she uses them? they become super addicting ( oh no!!! look who’s still bringing in her old storyline!! )

melinda met a boy named aiden and fell head over heels for him. he was the worst influence imaginable and basically corrupted her innocence. she started drinking young, smoking pot and occasionally other drugs. when he found out she was a witch, he wasn’t scared but rather intrigued. he had her start dipping her toes in dark magic and everything just went down hill from there. long story short, he gets caught in the cross fire and ends up being killed ( yikes i know )

melinda feels guilty, wendy and leo had to hide the fact melinda killed him and she basically was no bueno //: ( also wendy and leo??? arent a thing mel was just a guardian leo trusted and took her to east end to get away from san fran esp after aiden’s death!!! )

the reason why mel struggles with her powers ( comic-influence yee ) is because she was twice-blessed but after the witch trials and executions started happening, the elders made those abilities dormant. it’s why it feels like something is missing from her. her entire destiny is rewritten due to phoebe, piper, and prue leaving in order to avoid executions.

paige exists but only in the sense that mel found out about it because it was the elders gift for taking away the twice-blessed powers.

wyatt and chris exist in au meaning they’d have to do a spell to see an alternate reality ( and ofc i’ll have a verse separate where everything follows post s8 canon )
