A second chance (A Human!SansxReader fic)

You didn't do a violence!

The song for this chapter is: Papyrus believes in you

You woke feeling warm and content, but was jarred when you opened your eyes t find yourself in the skeleton's home, surrounded by nothing but complete silence.

Frisk!

You shot off the couch, ignoring the fact that you were no longer in a hospital gown but the clothes Toriel had brought you back in your timeline. Yes, you remembered it all now, and you knew why you were here. You needed to go find Frisk! What if they and Chara had already killed Papyrus? You opened the door, hurrying outside. The town was evacuated, and there were fresh prints in the snow. The kid must not have gotten far. You ran as fast as you could, looking around frantically until you saw Frisk, covered in even more dust than before, walking towards Papyrus. Oh no.

OH NO.

"Frisk!" You called out to them, but they didn't stop walking until papyrus shouted, "HALT HUMAN!"

Oh god. This was all to familiar. You thought back to your genocide run. Frisk only paused for a moment, but then took another step forward.

*If you take another step forward, you are REALLY not gonna like what happens next.*

You needed to stop this. But how? Clearly it didn't count as stopping the run if you forced Frisk to let someone live. Sans still treated them like they were on genocide. You needed to convince them to abort it on their own. But how?

"Hey, quit moving while I'm talking to you!" Papyrus put his hands on his hip bones, scowling slightly and tapping his foot. "I, the great Papyrus, have something to say! First: You're a freaking weirdo!" Yeah, you remembered this. Word for word. "Not only do you not like puzzles, but the way you shamble about from place to place...the way your hands are covered in dusty powder." Papyrus took a deep breath. It was obvious he was actually kind of scared. " It feels...like your life is going down a dangerous path. However! I, the great Papyrus, see potential within you! Everyone can be a great person if they try!" Those words made your heart ache. He was right. If only Frisk could see that. "And me, I hardly have to try at all!" The tall skeleton continued. '"Nyeh heh heh heh heh heh!" Frisk continued to walk forward. You searched around frantically for something, anything. You had a feeling that tackling them wasn't gonna work this time. Papyrus stomped his feet. "Hey, quit moving! This is exactly what I'm talking about! Human! I think you are in need of violence! Someone needs to keep you on the straight and narrow! but worry not! I, papyrus...will gladly be your friend and tutor! I will turn your life around!" Please Frisk...listen to him. Frisk continued to come closer. Papyrus lifted his brow ridges. "I see you are approaching. Are you offering a hug of acceptance?" Please. Please. "Wowie! My lessons are already working!" He held his arms out to the child. "I, Papyrus, welcome you with open arms!"

*Papyrus is sparing Frisk*

Frisk stared at him with their typical blank expression, clutching the knife in their hand. They then looked down at the options before them.

FIGHT.

ACT.

MERCY.

You stepped forward. You had to-

*Frisk spared Papyrus*

"Wowie! You did it!" Papyrus scooped the child up as they dropped their knife. "You didn't do a violence! To be honest, I was a little afraid...but you're already becoming a great person! I'm so proud I could cry!"

"(Y/N)."

You looked over to see Sans standing beside you, slightly surprised when he saw the tears streaming down your face. He looked at you, then to the scene before him. "...ow long have you known?" You asked, wiping the tears from your face. oh god, you were so happy. "Since you got down here. Like any other species, humans font never change. And you're the only person who I ever met who had Admiration Pains. Look.." He trailed off for a moment, watching Papyrus cheer on Frisk. You could see Chara just throwing a tantrum as they slowly faded away, losing the power they were draining from Frisk. "I dunno what you did, or why you saved us after that you did before. But thank you."

You felt tingly. Glancing down at your hands you saw that you were shimmering..almost glowing. Sans' eyes widened, he almost looked scared.

"Y/N), what's going on?"

You looked up at him and smiled. "I'm going home. You guys don't need me anymore. Tell Papyrus...thank you. Thank you for believing in me."

-----------------------------

The Frisk arc is over. Something you did, maybe telling Frisk of your regrets, made them rethink their current path, and in the end they couldn't kill Papyrus. Now, they can reset, and free everyone, for good this time. Now Chara no longer has control control of their body. That's one problem out of the way.

Back to murder.
