Just got a random request from someone with no mutual friends or servers...

Am I in trouble?

[under-myown-tale]

I found another one

For anyone who saw my last post about old Sans x Readers I used to write, that was a hot steamy piece of traaaaash

However, I found another little fic. There's only one chapter and I'm pretty sure I had a bigger idea for it but, alas, those plans are left to the cosmos. It's, like, 5/6 years old though, so...

If anyone's somewhat intrigued, I shall leave it here. There ain't much but I know I was proud of it then. (I haven't edited it but that would tarnish its raw form upon first creation)

It was places like this that could only truly be alive and bustling with people at such hours. Although music was playing in the background, it was drowned out by the many friend groups who had decided to hang out in the pleasantly welcoming establishment for a few drinks. The evening burned young and slow like the few candles that had been lit in their tinted glass cases to entice atmosphere. Her glassy eyes reflected the flames, bright orange hues hiding the vague tiredness. A half empty glass would occasionally be caressed by her fingers in an attempt to find solace in the poison. She peered away from her grim-tasting company to the rest of the pub. Many seats and spaces were still available but it was pretty early for that "bar buzz" to surface, which was a great surprise considering the upcoming holiday. Yet again, that was bound to be on account for the fact that last-minute shoppers were still roaming the sparkling streets. She couldn't complain, however. A calm pub was much more tasteful, in her opinion, as it gave her that chance to appreciate it more; sofas were covered in a plush, dark red leather, wooden beams, chairs, stools and even the tables and bar top were either make of oak or redwood with a beautiful vanish finish. Everything from the stone-slabbed and carpeted floors to the simple intricacies in the way the planked pieces of wood were diagonally positioned in the walls pleased her aesthetic. She wondered if anyone else took notice of the time and effort that went into constructing the very place they chose to socialise for the night.

There was much doubt in that.

Much motivation wasn't needed for her to turn back to her drink and take another sip, her tongue clicked. Heaven knows why her first chosen beverage for the night was a cheap wine the same colour as the couches. Perhaps she wanted to give off that fake sense of sophistication but to whom? She wouldn't go as far as to impress anyone she didn't know and she certainly didn't know anyone nearby. It was made quite clear in her mind that she wanted to visit a bar as far from her own home as possible. In moderation, of course. The happy-deprived woman chose not to bring attention to the reasons as to why.

"What's the matter? Got a drink ya' can't handle?" a deep voice asked, amusement clear in the low tone.

At first, she wasn't aware that the gentleman, who had situated himself beside her, was attempting to grasp her attention until a pale looking hand waved itself in front of hers. She blinked and turned over, blinking again to be sure she was seeing things right. It wasn't uncommon to see a monster: they'd been around for many years after the barrier trapping them underground had been broken. No. What surprised her was the fact that a sentient being was actually conversing with her in some way.

"I'll take that as a yes." A chuckle resounded and the creature spoke again, "you gonna' keep starin' at me, or...?"

The poor woman hadn't even realised that she was practically gaping at this newcomer. Bashful apologies bellowed from her lips and she hoped that she hadn't somehow offended the monster by staring. He seemed to shrug it off and presented her with a Cheshire cat grin, the face around it looking as though it had been built on the foundations of that very smile. It was an interesting sight seeing how one of the many selection of monsters that inhabited the world could be so human in appearance, or at least close. His pale complexion was due to the lack of skin, fur, muscle, or anything - anything but clean, white bone. She silently wondered how the composition of bones was holding its form but quickly discarded that thought when she recalled how magic was in fact a thing. It was easier to just swallow the simple explanations. 

Two little white dots, sat where there would've been human eyes, that acted as pupils made some speculations of their own. The woman sat beside him was adorned in nothing considered "flashy" or anything anyone would see as an outfit for a night out - it was casual. This brought upon the assumption that this fair lady had taken a seat after passing by the place on the off-chance. However, that was besides the point; she was by her lonesome and looked in need of some good company. Luckily, he was just the guy for the job. 

"Mr. Skeleton" focused his full attention back on the young woman, who had gone back to brushing her fingertip over the rim of her nasty drink. Her delicate touch almost made the glass chime, providing perhaps a little solidarity to it for the fact it had to hold such bitter wine. The other hand concealed her lips as her eyes shifted absentmindedly amongst the many bottles that decorated the bar. He tilted his cranium at a slight angle and his little pupils seemed to brighten up, along with his large grin. 

"Hey, don't be nervous kiddo," he spoke in a comforting manner. "if it makes ya' feel better, I don't have a bone to pick with you. In fact, I found your reaction pretty humerus."

Her finger paused, teetering above the thin wall of glass, and so did her gaze. A pair of brows huddled together and she turned to look at the monster again. She could only stare at him for a few moments in silence, the cogs turning in her head almost audible to his non-existent ears. There was almost a struggle in her expression, as though she was hiding something. That could be seen when she finally revealed her mouth to him.

"Did you just make two skeleton related puns?" Confusion was evident but it wasn't enough to hide the amusement.

He faked hurt, a hand dramatically grabbing his chest as he turned his face away from her. "Damn, you can see right through me, can't ya'?"

A light chortle begrudgingly left her person. The jokes were terrible! but they tugged at her lips like elastic. Who was this guy? His voice was deep and smooth but he had a gravely laugh, a certain spark would flicker in his eyes with every spoken pun, and apparently he liked to drink... ketchup, as seen by the red bottle secured with his phalanges. She had never met anyone who was this quick with their comebacks whilst also being so relaxed and laid back before. Even his attire was followed by a faint whisper of "chilled out": white shirt beneath an ocean blue hoodie, black basketball shorts, and a pair of pink, fluffy slippers that she thought best not to question. Pushing aside the obscurity of his outfit, she found comfort in the light conversation. It had been some time since she found herself enjoying a male's company, or anyone's company, in fact. Such time without an exchange in dialogue was nearly enough to convince her she no longer had a voice. 

"How 'bout I get you a drink? You don't seem to be havin' much fun with that one," the pale being audibly mused. 

Eyelids, tinted orange by the overcasting bulb, blinked rapidly and cocked to an angle along with the head they belonged to. Many questions disintegrated as quickly as they assembled, recoiling into nothingness and being immediately forgotten. If it hadn't already, the early night was certainly becoming interesting for the unsuspecting woman.

I have struck trashy gold

Having recently gotten back into the Undertale fandom, I've been remembering why I fell in love with the franchise in the first place

However, silly little me completely forgot that I used to write fanfiction about it

Specifically, Sans x Readers of course

I stumbled across one in my old QUOTEV account and oh boy oh boy, what was I doing??

There are only a few paragraphs and barely anything to even recollect what I had planned for it but the title... the title alone has me dead

"We're Not That Different, You And I - Part 1~(Killer!Sans X Detective!Reader)"

Here's a few of my favourite lines from this little treasure

If you didn't know any better, you'd think that the killer had the ability to teleport away from the crime scene after they got the job done. (I was unaware of subtly apparently)

However, you had to admit, you found it quite intriguing. Out of all the cases you've worked on, this one was probably the most interesting, not to mention challenging. But you liked a challenge. (Ah, yes, setting up the interest in a MURDERER in the second paragraph. Come on)

My teenage brain must have thought this was going to be the next Stephen King or something

Can I remember where this was going to go? Bro, I don't even remember writing the damn thing

I'm sure I'll come across more in my adventures

[under-myown-tale]

I should have expected this

As we speak, I am playing more of TS!Underswap and that conversation with Asgore after the nap...

Oh man, I'm already racking up theories but my heart genuinely jumped

If you know you know, I don't want to spoil the experience for anyone

But damn

I am both so in love and so nervous

[under-myown-tale]

Sans is growing increasingly puzzled with your behaviour recently: he's noticed you very obviously tilting your head during your conversations with one another

It has occurred to him that you occasionally stare at the dead centre of his face. You even go as far as hanging upside down from the couch when you two are chilling out together, eyes transfixed on that one spot

His confusion continues to grow when he catches you staring while he's taking one of his much-needed naps. You seemed unfazed when the two of locked eyes and just carried on with whatever you were doing after

When you two first met, he thought it was down to your curiosity about his appearance, which he harbours no ill feelings towards, but you still do it for some reason and he can't figure out why. Not to mention, that one spot between his eyes that apparently has your attention so much doesn't give him any better clues either

One day, he finally decides to confront you about it. Well, less a confrontation and more a roundabout, jokey way of getting the information out of you

"heh, have i got ketchup on my face again?"

"Hm?" You are caught out of your absentminded staring, merely laughing it off as if it isn't out of the ordinary. "Oh! No no, it's just that your nose looks like a heart upside down." And then with a big grin, you continue to say, "I think it's cute."

The only cute thing here is you, especially when something so precious comes out of your mouth

My heart knows it wanted to make this into a mini-comic strip but my brain knows all too well that these hands can't draw for sh--

[under-myown-tale]

I felt I had to make a breakdown of all the AUs and my inner commentary with them because I need to keep track somehow

Undertale: OG, classic universe, if it ain't broke don't fix it

Underswap: the ol' switcheroo, taking this version of paps to the bone zone, overall cute au

Underfell: so much edge, did everyone here just inhale a Hot Topic with a side order of Linkin Park 'cause jeez, you guys need to chill

SwapFell: ah crap, now the cute one has been infested with the edge too, it was only a matter of time, it's just a phase they'll grow out of it

Mafia: pfft, what's not to love?, live for the aesthetic, take me to the speakeasy where I can jive with some suited skeletons

Horror: I'd say it's cannabilism but technically nooo...?, everyone is fucked, as for sans? oh yeah, I'd still tap that (apparently I'm not the only one either)

Anomaly: character ai except h e k n o w s

Ink: Bob Ross ain't got nothing on Sans in this one

Dust: fairy dust?, star dust?, nope, they're... ah, they're not okay...

Error: 01001000, 01100101, 01101100, 01110000

Dream/Nightmare: Mr Sans man bring me a dream~ BA DUM BUH BUM, NOPE NOPE DEATH S A V E M E

I might have missed a few but there were, like, four aus when I was deep in the undertale sauce back in the day. I am but a stranger to these lands now

Nah, in all seriousness I love all of these and the creativity behind them. You guys keep up the good work and I shall continue to indulge like the starved gremlin I am

Man this was dumb

[under-myown-tale]

I LOVE THIS GAME

I have literally only played the first five minutes of TS!Underswap but HOLY MOLY IS GOOD SO FAR

Wishing I could just play this for the next few hours but I have work soon

I just really needed to get it out there how much I am loving this so far

And jeebus, I didn't think Temmie could be the scary like damn

[under-myown-tale]

We'll pretend that it's not an issue, worry not ;)

Everything is easier in the fantasy realms of our happy place

Do our long and/or thick-haired players have to be worried?

Because all I can think about (and this has been on my mind for a while) is Sans stroking through your hair

Only for it to get tangled in his phalanges

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE THOUGHT MAKES ME WHEEZE SO MUCH

I can't draw any of my silly ideas but this is one I would love to see on paper

EDIT: How the heck did I not consider curly hair in this equation?

I'm such a donut

Someone has probably already done this but I'm going to assume that original thought still exists

(Warnings: slightly suggestive and potty language)

Underfell Sans has a habit of drinking one too many bottles at the bar to the point that eventually Grillby is calling your sorry ass to come get him

Since when were you the appointed babysitter?

No matter. Someone has to do it and, for Sans' sake, you are the best port of call

Today, however, he is being annoyingly persistent in staying for another drink. Drastic times call for drastic measures and you're almost mad at yourself for not thinking of it sooner

You air the promise of "putting him to bed" and that specific phrasing has his attention immediately

Oh boy, he's thinking he's in for a good time this evening, so getting him back to home base isn't as much of a struggle as it usually is in times like these

You push him down onto the mattress and those little dots for eyes practically double in size with thrilled anticipation as you loom over him

What he did not expect was for you to then throw the blanket over his body and trap him down like a boa constrictor

How the fuck have you managed to tuck him in so tightly?!

"Now, bed. Not another word out of you."

"yer such a fuckin' tease."

[under-myown-tale]

Papyrus being innocently fascinated by the human body and how it functions

You know, seeing as he isn't that much different (minus the flesh, organs, skin, etc)

He comes out with funny little facts that he learns: stuff about earwax, how everyone has unique fingerprints

Cute stuff like that

Meanwhile, our Sans boyo living it up with the, "hey, you wouldn't think that five litres of blood is a lot but it sure looks it."

(I mean, assuming this is a timeline in which he's had to kill player over and over, or at least once)

Papyrus: ... Papyrus: YOU NEED HELP, BROTHER.

[under-myown-tale]

Coming back to the Undertale fandom, I realise every day just how out of sync I am

How... how many aus are there now...? So... so many bony boys...

I can only keep track of so many

Someone help, I need a guide during this endeavour

Now... who do I pick...?

[under-myown-tale]

The types of thoughts we get during the witching hour

hurm-a-hurm

Imagining all the monsters reaching the surface. Life is good. Life is grand.

BUT WAIT

Our poor little skele-bros can't adjust to this world because EVERYTHING is touch screen!

Oh the horror... the humanity... damn humanity

Bones do not register

[under-myown-tale]

Ah, the brain rot is coming back

As if I don't have enough fixations to keep my poor little brain occupied

Undertale decides to bless me with it's trash again after five years

Welp, of course, I was going to have to make a separate blog for all the rot that seeps into my b o n e s

"don't you know how to greet a new old pal?"

Ah, bugger

I'm screwed
