(Book two: "A Name to Remember")
(Book three: "No One is Happy with This")
There was a time where a Royal Scientist got an idea. A time where he created two weapons, who turned out to be people. A time where he built a machine to power the Underground.
There was a time when the timelines weren't messed up by a certain flower, and then a certain child.
There was a time before.

The New Life Of Duska Rose: An Undertale Fanfic - (UNCOMPLETED XP)
Many years ago there was a war between humans and monsters. Although monsters had inborn magic on their side they were sentenced to live in the Underground, seperated from the surface by a barrier of human souls.

Now she lives with two monsters. How much will her life change? Can she reveal her deepest secret to them? Will she find more about herself? Will she fall in love?

HAZE
Written: May 10th, 2017--June 22nd, 2017 reposted from my AO3, anonemones; contains both part one and part two. After a year of living on the surface, monsters and humans have gotten along well, with (mostly) everyone adjusting to the many changes without much trouble. However, events take a strange turn when Sans and Papyrus--both of whom have been acting unlike themselves--go missing, supposedly without a trace. In their place are two monsters who go by the names of Wingdings and Aster, twins, claiming to be the lost Royal Scientist. Everyone is thrown for a loop, especially as nobody remembers a Wingdings or Aster--or, as they claim to be, "Dr. Gaster"--nor do they remember a Royal Scientist before Alphys. And with Sans and Papyrus missing, things don't look good for either of the boys. As their friends search for the missing skeletons, Wingdings and Aster work together to uncover what's happened while they were gone, as well as what might've caused everyone to forget them in the first place. But, trouble lurks within the shadows, as the Void closes in on them once again--refusing to let go of what belongs to it. And unfortunately, the Void is not the only thing after the boys' lives.Complete
No One is Happy with This (Undertale)
~o0o~ Book 3 of the "Better Times" trilogy ~o0o~ (Book one: "The Time Before") (Book two: "A Name to Remember") Two years after the Barrier was destroyed, it's a dark and stormy night. A group of friends; six monsters, one human, and one flower, celebrate the anniversary of the monsters' freedom. Everything starts off with a seemingly innocent question: "What does the thunder remind you of?" But the answer only leads to more questions. Questions born of curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat. And it's a hard learned lesson that Determination can't always bring everything back.Complete
A Name to Remember (Undertale)
~o0o~ Book 2 of the "Better Times" trilogy ~o0o~ (Book one: "The Time Before") (Book three: "No One is Happy with This") Ah. Hello there. You are here in search of a story? ... I could tell you a story of a family, reunited once more, living on the surface world. But such a story has not come to pass, nor do I know how such a story would come to pass. So I will not tell that story. I could tell you the story of how I came to be here, stuck in the black depths of nothingness. But, I have the distinct sense that this story has already been told, by hands not my own. So I will not tell that story. I could tell you a forgotten story. A story of a name long gone, a time erased eternities ago. ... Yes, this one, I think, is the story I will tell. For the name that was once my own, the name that has been lost to the Void, that is a name to remember. Dr. WD Gaster is a Name to Remember.Complete

Sacrifices (Undertale FanFic) [COMPLETED]
Frisk has freed the monsters of the Underground. Finally, monster kind is allowed to return to the surface. It's been 3 years since then. Yet the monsters still struggle to find their place within the world. Most accept the monsters, but there are those who wish nothing more than the complete annihilation of monster kind. Merely sealing them away is not enough. As ambassador for the monsters, it is Frisk's responsibility to fight for everyone's right to live on the surface. But at the same time, an internal battle rages on within her. Not only that, her relationship with Sans is strained. Trust is not so easily regained after the slaughter of one's beloved, despite it all being erased. Or was it really? The memories are still there. *I have lost interest to complete pre story and post story parts.

Flowey x Reader: Teach Me how to Feel
"I told you, can't feel right!" The feeling you get when you're on a roller coaster jolted your stomach as you fell from the edge of the cliff... you hit the ground... and everything went dark. That's the first thing you remembered when you woke up in that honey-scented patch of flowers. "There's no sunlight down here." There's no sky. There's no birds singing in the morning.

My Greatest Experiment (Skelebros' Origin Story)
After much research and theorizing, I've decided that I'm going to attempt it. It's risky, but I'm so desperate at this point that I'm willing to put my own well being on the line. If I survive, this may just turn out to be very... interesting. This is my thoughts on the origins of Sans and Papyrus, as well as their connection to Gaster. It will be connected to the ZanaTale timeline (or, in otherwords, my Sans x Reader fanfic "When Two Souls Meet"). Loosely inspired by the HandPlates AU by Zarla. Awesome cover image by Dweebycake.Complete
What Went Wrong?

Then many long years later they meet the beloved Frisk, who fell into the Underground, similar to themselves. Eventually everything Chara thought they knew correctly is turned upside down and they as a person are changed forever. ~'The game Undertale belongs to Toby Fox and some of the dialogue is ripped straight from the game itself, too.'~Complete
What Lies Inside (Gaster!Sans x Reader )
"You know sweetheart, lying doesn't get you anywhere with me." He said lighting a cigarette and placing it in between his teeth. Vanilla, leather, and smoke is quite the intoxicating smell. "I'm not lying, also who gives you the right to judge if I'm lying or not?" Something flickers inside me, a warm burning feeling that fuels my anger with this asshole. Walking up closer to me he pins me against the wall, smoke dances around his skull in a vary of swirls and curves. "Let's get something straight dove, I am your worst nightmare and I am your best daydream. I can see right through people, ironic right? There's something about you, I know you're hiding something inside." He really is good at seeing through people, but the thing is I'm not like anybody else.

Undertale:Secrets
Remaster on my page - check it out! Sans has had an interesting past. A past that even his beloved brother barely even knows of. A past that he wishes could remain a secret. But when the questions start being asked, what does he do? These questions seem so little, yet they cause so much to happen. One little question. "Who is ??????" can change so much. A chain reaction from a single sentence can cause an entire world to crumble. Or maybe two. This is my first book so dont expect anything great.

There's something wrong with the timeline. You've lived in an underground crypt with cracked green walls for as long as you can remember. And that's entirely the problem, you can only remember so much. Even as tortures and experiments continue without end, you're plagued with nightmares and glimpses into a different life, a life outside the green walls that you've been trapped inside for your entire life. There's a demon in the lab. Somewhere, you're sure of it, the scientist whom you have learned to hate is keeping a secret, another human besides yourself locked away. You don't know why or how they're connected to you, only that their name is Kris and they might be the answer to everything. There's something wrong with the timeline. And the whole universe might be thrown into chaos and bloodshed before you can fix it.Complete![Can I take you to Dinner? Mafi-fell!Sans x Reader.
