    His introduction into your life matches his behaviour: rough and erratic. You can tell Sans has been keeping an eye on you since the first time he came to hear you sing, but you didn't expect he'd end up coming to you for a favour. It's a favour that might as well be considered a life-changing mission, with how the results could greatly affect the future of monsters and humans on the Surface. He insists it's not that big of a deal, but as each day gets increasingly complicated and bigger responsibilities fall on your shoulders, it feels like there's a lot more than meets the eye. Skip to a couple of months working under his wing, and he confesses his true motivation for having you alongside him since day one. • • • NOTICE: This work is based off Sooner or Later, You're Gonna Be Mine. The major differences from that alternate universe are that Frisk remains unchanged from the original Undertale universe, and the Reader replaces Frisk's role as a singer.

    New York City. The Roaring Twenties. Hot Jazz, Guns and Bootleggers. But for shopgirl Slender McNally, it's not the exhilarating life she seeks but rather one a little less chaotic. Each day, Slender struggles to keep her family together in the aftermath of a tragedy while heading off to the deli her father owned to make just enough money to keep them afloat. Her mother, rarely present, is consumed nightly with men and speakeasies while her sister, an acid-tongued, aspiring stage actress is fixated only on becoming a star. Then one day, a routine accounting trip leads her to check up on an unsettled debt. What Slender happens upon surprises her--for a young, well-dressed man of considerable wealth has now asked her to accompany him to dinner.      Things begin to really rev and roar when Joey the Mouse arrives in a Rolls-Royce, complete with driver, and whisks her off to the finest clothing shop in New York City for a dinner dress, inexplicably transforming her into a flapper. But the move comes with a price, notably when he sneaks Slender into the hottest speakeasy in the city, The Sudsbucket, run by his boss, a celebrated gangster nicknamed Soapy Callahan on account of his public front as a soap and perfume salesman. So, when Slender discovers the intentions of Joey the Mouse, she wants out. But what Joey doesn't tell her that first night at The Sudsbucket is that he has just pulled her into the middle of a turf war and has a plan for her whether she likes it or not...because Soapy Callahan is expanding his bootlegging empire and he wants Slender's deli. And the boss gets what he wants.

    Lucia and Charley are the products of Old New York's ruling elite. Prestige. Wealth. Tradition. Scandal. No one is immune. Not Charley, reckless, blithe courtier of trouble, heiress to the Montrose fortune, who has been conspicuously absent for over a year without a word of truth or explanation. Nor Lucia, as docile a daughter as any parent could wish for, carrying secrets of her own, slowly awakening to a yearning for things beyond obeisance to the established order, as deeply ingrained as Old New York's fascination for, and fear of, scandal. Sailing into the summer of 1929, on the eve of the Black Tuesday Wall Street Crash and a world on the brink of change, Charley and Lucia must keep their wits sharp about them in the pleasure capitals of the Continent and on the Nile to steer their futures away from peril. There are men and temptations to resist, intrigues and mysteries to untangle, secrets to hide, lies to weave, and jewel thieves to outsmart while, back home in New York and on the Exchange, the world rumbles and thunders ominously by. More hangs in the balance than the frivolities of the Jazz Age, the glitzy parties in London and the lures of Paris, automobile races, leisurely flirtations on the French Riviera, opulent Egyptian nights, and the catching of a brilliant matrimonial prize. This Grand Tour could prove to be the making of two young women, a prelude to freedom and independence, to saving and building an empire... Or perhaps merely an invitation to rebellion, scandal and unmitigated disaster. Running away or running towards? Tick-tock.

    2020, the supposed year of revolution and fulfilments of dreams. It featured in the dreams and hopes of many thinkers of yesteryear as the ultimate year of realisation of their imaginations. On the eve of 31st December 2019, people celebrated the end of a year, a decade, and the beginning of a new one. They made jokes about "bringing the roaring '20s back!", but were careful to add "but just the pleasant parts", as an almost afterthought. Some would call it fate, others would say it's a mere coincidence. Whatever it is, humanity was not prepared for this whirlwind of a year that was 2020. In the first week of 2020, the Third World War seemed imminent. But, by the end of January, it was the last thing on everyone's mind. For then, we had a fresh problem: a previously unknown virus that had gripped an enormous chunk of the Chinese population. They named it the Novel Coronavirus. It spread faster than anyone could've imagined and soon, it established its presence in every nation. In 2022, with the last COVID-19 patient discharged from the hospital, the WHO declared that the pandemic had ended. The human race has survived the pandemic and made it through, but will it ever be the same again? (DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH)

War had not claimed the life of her eldest brother. But New York does. Along with the twins, Etta loses all her brothers to mysterious circumstances. Unable to afford a funeral for all three, a stranger's generosity saves them, and a name of great power - and of great terror - enters their lives. • • • ALL CREDIT FOR THE IMAGES USED OF COURSE GOES TO THEIR WONDERFUL CREATORS! xx
