Stone Cold Pacifist (Horror Sans x Reader)
PLEASE READ BEFORE GETTING INTO THE STORY. Your name is (Y/n), and you play the role of an unusual pacifist. In the story of Horrortale, your unique soul allows you to see WD Gaster who no longer holds a powerful connection with the underground due to the inactive core. After your parents are killed, Gaster makes a deal with you. He will help you extract revenge on your parent's murderer, and in return... you were going to fix the core in the underground. While Sans failed to do it when everyone went insane, you knew what you had to do because well. The creator of the core told you everything that you needed to know. The real trick isn't the resources that you've been gathering during your time on the surface for the job, it's the things that are in the underground that you have yet to obtain. While it is true that you have a lot of experience with fighting and a high amount of LV thanks to Gaster's guidance... you now decided to stop killing, and start saving. ...... But can a stone cold pacifist truly manage her way through Horrortale? Okay, a quick note. This story is rated mature, blood, gore, some more sensitive things that you might find extremely suggestive. Since people are enjoying my Nightmare x Reader story, I decided to do a little bit extra. My updates with this book will be a bit slower. (Totally didn't write this story because I wanted to do a drawing of horror for the cover.) This story is kind of a slow burn, but unlike my other story, the reader is no pushover. Like in the The King's Queen, the cover DOES belong to me, so please do not steal it, etc. Remember these important keys when it comes to reading the story!

The Silent Destroyer
cover art isn't mine and belongs to its rightful owner Error is finally ready to give in. The multiverse he spent so many eons protecting and keeping the balance is rebelling against him. The AUs he has spent so long protecting are rebelling and are soon to be destroyed, but worst of all, all of the Sanses hate him for some reason. And I mean ALL. Why should he continue? There's nothing to live for anymore. Not even his family can help with this. Or, the people he thought to be his family.
My Little Killing Machine (NightInk and ErrorInk)
! Updated Desc ! Dream finds Ink suspicious due to his strange behavior. He investigates it and raged with anger through his soul after finding out he cares about other sanses than them, the Star Sanses. Which leads him to confronting him, but also hurting him. Ink changed his identity after the argument, which led him to "accidentally" join the Bad Sanses and take revenge. He is no longer Ink, but Dark. Error and Cross found about this and started to interfere. They both wanted their cheerful and loving Ink back, even if he was annoying. Nightmare on the other hand, is finally successful at having Ink on his evil hands and also can't help but fall in-love with him. But what will happen next? Will Error or Nightmare receive the love of Ink? Will Ink be saved, or be captured once again? Will I finish this god damn story for once without being lazy? (kidding xd) Cover is made by me. Thank you for support!
Fallen (ErrorInk)
I dunno wut im doing, sorry if its bad ;~; Some Background: Most alternate sanses are attending a highschool, call the school whatever you like. This takes place in an AU thats not really an AU, seeing as there are no undertale characters. There is a "Gang" in this school, it is comprised of Nightmare, Error, Cross, Killer, Horror, and Dust. Everyone is afraid of them, except for the Star Sanses. Eventually, one of the star sanses, Ink, is able to befriend one of the bad guys, Error. Error starts to develop feelings for the artist, but, when something bad happens to Ink, error wonders if he'll ever get a chance. {This is an extremely slow-burn! You have been warned.}Complete
Fonttale
Fonttale is an AU where skeletons have a special power related to their font name. A Normal Font Comic Sans for example, can force people to laugh. However, Papyrus is a Horror Font and they're much different from Normal Fonts. This is where and why the story begins. Papyrus is a sadistic murder whose main goal is to protect his one HP brother Sans. By day he pretends to be an obnoxious idiotic skeleton obsessed with puzzles and spaghetti, but at night he teams up with Flowey and patrols the area for humans in order to collect souls to break the barrier. When he isn't doing that he visits the MTT Resort where his brother does his comedic acts and kills monsters he finds in the alley in order to keep Sans safe. Unfortunately as time passes and more and more monsters disappear, the "Resort Killer" becomes everyone's favorite topic...including Undyne's. When Papyrus decides one day to take a chance, something goes wrong and Sans discovers more than he ever wanted to about Papyrus, the Underground, and even himself. The line between right and wrong becomes a blur, and his relationship with his brother is tested as he tries to help him overcome his apparent madness. But is it really Papyrus that needs help?Complete
Error x Ink x Nightmare
This is my first story so my apologies if it is trashier than the multiverse itself. This story is also very inspired by other people so don't flame me. qwq Error is the god of destruction, he used to be a different skeleton but Fate came and destroyed his AU and is now Error. Error cannot die no matter what because Fate won't allow it. Error is the Yin to Ink's Yang. Ink is the god of creation, he is a soulless being who cannot feel emotions, he is oblivious about the balance because he never listens to Fate which is why Fate did what they did to Error. Ink is the Yang. Ink drinks vials to feel emotions, but that one day changes. Nightmare is the god of negativity, he has a brother named Dream. The more negativity is around him the stronger he is, the more positivity there is around him the weaker he is. If he feels negative emotions from a specific person he can easily find who he is looking for. Same as Dream but dream follows the positive feelings.Complete

Killermare (I can't think of a title-)
Completed: August 8th, 2020 Killer is nightmares right hand man. Doing everything nightmare pleases. (That sounded wrong. Not in that way- Anyways-) though errors second in command. Meaning he'd be in charge if nightmare couldn't. Once killer thinks about why error does almost nothing even if he's second in command. Did nightmare choose killer just because he wanted too? Did nightmare want killer to be there 24/7 for a reason? but what would happen if the good people weren't what they seemed? Read this shitty shit to find out, ha. This is so bad but people seem to..like it? I don't know how but enjoy this...creation THIS IS AN UNDERTALE FANFICTIONComplete
