    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.

    For the well-to-do Malone cousins, reputation is everything. For the elder cousin, Clara, her reputation is staked to her swift tongue and clever mind. The younger, Ophelia, is a gentle and pure young lady born into a wealthy society, dreaming of the day when she will marry the man of her dreams. Clara is much the opposite, having sworn off love after many a failed attempt. Only when a group of familiar faces blows into town and stays under the same roof do the Malones find themselves in uncharted territory. In this retelling of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, we find the Bard's classic characters thrown into the chaotic world of the American 1920s, complete with lovable gangsters, roaring parties, and the ever-high stakes of romance and all it carries with it.

    Ryacell's world collapses when he encounters an unknown beast in church. The insomniac, orphaned newsboy, Ryacell, lives off of his saved francs at the wake of the new decade, the "Années Folles," until he gets an unexpected visit from his diehard crush - the elegant, beautiful, and rich girl, Saphire Creliz. Through Saphire, he meets the tomboyish orphan, Rashelle Naverias. As he learns more about his new acquaintances, he crosses a point of no return. Updated every Friday (or every other Friday)! Dear fellow reader, I'd just like to preface you with a couple of things. Firstly, I don't consider myself a writer. I am probably a beginner at most, haha, so I apologize for any blips you may come across. Secondly, although this story does have a slow "prologue" (I would call), there will be some graphic scenes along the way, and I will put a warning if a chapter does contain any gory bits. Lastly, please no spoilers to new readers, but you all should know that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Like dark fantasy? Mystery? Plot twists? Romance? Comedy? Action? All of the above? Well, I hope this story provides you with some type of enjoyment. Thank you! -RREN
