Summary
For as long as you remember, you've only known nothing but cold and the feeling of worthlessness. You once had a source of light in the dark but it no longer exists. Will you find it again with your clouded thoughts and memories? Or will you succumb to the rising waters and drown?
In which, you are an AU sans with severe depression, self worth issues and hazy memories of yourself—just wanting to go home…

The Sacrificial Skeleton and the Labyrinth of Gods by this_is_my_alt
Fandoms: Undertale (Video Game)
19 Nov 2025

Summary
As a necromancer, you’re used to suspicious stares and whispers of heresy from the townsfolk. It only gets worse after you’re killed and walk Ebott Empire as an undead skeleton. When you hear rumors of a strange settlement that worships the undead, it’s too tempting to resist. The locals treat you better than you’ve ever been treated. That is, right until the moment where you’re dressed up and tied to an altar as a sacrificial bride for their skeleton gods.
Despite their advanced technology and magical prowess, you’re doubtful of their divinity. What kind of gods blush whenever they see a bit of bone?

Summary
It’s fun being dead.
Or undead, rather, as your sister likes to correct you. Your dear sister is the kind of person who took her dark arts very seriously. Or, her necromancy, rather. You’ll be the first to admit, you don’t know a lot about her school of magic. She doesn’t know much about yours either, but it’s always enjoyable to discuss magical theory with her. She says it’s not her specialty, but she tends to under credit herself.
Or: A remixed spinoff story of this_is_my_alt's The Sacrificial Skeleton and the Labyrinth of the Gods <3

Summary
Sometimes life throws you a curveball. For you, your curveball was going to bed looking like a human, and waking up looking like a monster.
A skeleton monster to be precise.
With the barrier breaking, a large surge of magic descended on the town you live in, and transformed you overnight. Unsure what to do with you, and the others changed, you're ushered into a facility until a monster with similar magic can take you to teach you how to wield the now uncontrollable magic you've been given. After waiting in this place for four years, you'd given up hope that anyone would ever want to take you.
What a surprise for you when you find out that someone does. A lot of someones.

Summary
Nathaniel Walker was an ordinary man who worked as a construction worker to support his elderly parents, but unfortunately met a sudden end during an accident at work. Upon awakening in what he assumed to be limbo, his regrets and attachment to his life keep him from passing on yet unable to go back since no one could undo death. In the end, the void takes his soul and he fades into nothing.
...Only for him to wake up in an underground lab, confused and afraid, while questioning why he's a skeleton... and a child at that.
Nathan has never heard of Undertale, so he's experiencing this world for the first time, unaware that his mere presence has a drastic change on the story you might be familiar with. Regardless, his goal eventually aligns with all of monsterkind, which is to reach the surface so that he may try and find his family again. However he may just find a new family while he's down there.

Napalm (Male Skeleton Reader) (Under rewrite) by orphan_account, Yuvky
Fandoms: Undertale (Video Game), Undertale Multiverse - Fandom
11 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
You're pathetic
Rotting beneath trash, worthless.
You're alone
Inconsequential. Useless.
Stop
Do you here that?
Running water.
Go down.
You shouldn't be here.
(Male reader he/him pronouns will be used)(Oct 2025 Rewrite in progress)
The writing isn't shit, it just makes me cringe to think about it...definitely not my best work
Papyrus, Sans, Gaster Sans, W.D Gaster variants are all options.
This is an explicitly Queer fanfic, Don't like, Don't read. There is minor allusion to the ML being Trans ftm but that will be left up to reader interpretation. I Will not be making a neutral or female version of this fic, do not attempt to yourself. I am sick of the erasure of Queer media. I will be handling any heavy topics with care, both as a victim and activist.

Summary
You lived an ordinary life, going with the flow, until at one point, you stopped living.
..
.
For some reason you are alive.
Hmm, not that you're complaining, but the last time you checked, you were definitely dead. And you definitely weren't a skeleton.-
A man is reborn into a Papyrus of an alternate universe, which, in fact, he created himself. Oh, if only it weren't for those memory lapses...

Summary
Sans did not remember his previous name, only that he had been human. Rebirth in Undertale was novel, but he adapted, until he realized that the universe he was in was not the original one.
Unfortunately, it was too late when the machine took him to another universe, into a room full of skeletons.
——————————————————————————————
Sans no recordaba su nombre anterior, solo haber sido un humano. Renacer en Undertale fue una novedad, pero se adaptó, hasta que cayó en cuenta de que el universo en el que estaba no era el original.Lamentablemente, ya era tarde cuando la máquina lo llevo a otro universo en un cuarto lleno de esqueletos.
Nota: Sé que suena como tragedia, pero en realidad es una historia bastante esponjosa de curación, o al menos eso intento. Nuestro protagonista tiene mucho trauma y lo va a sanar en una mansión llena de esqueletos incómodos

Summary
You were quiet for a long moment. “i’m supposed to be dead,” you told the skeleton.
“… you’re not,” he replied, after pausing for only a second. “there’s no supposed-to with you. you were in the anti-void, not an au. you nearly died, but i fixed you.” His voice was quieter than before, and his head was slightly tilted, like a curious dog. “i don’t normally bother to do that.”
“then why did you?” The words hurt in your mouth instead of your throat. It felt like carbonation below your tongue, and it took concentration to keep that static from leaking into your words. You weren’t used to talking. But this was important.
“why’d i fix you?” The skeleton paused, expression going blank for half a second, gaze flitting down to his scarf. “oh!”
The corners of his mouth tugged up again. “because i want a little brother of my own, of course!”

You used to be human, before what you called the Blank. You were a teenager, and you liked dogs and the sun and couldn’t remember much more than that. Then you were made into something else.
After your rescue, you try to adjust to living again - and attempt to understand why so many weird skeletons keep trying to adopt you.

Summary
waking up in the body of a skeleton wasn't exactly what you were expecting. the last thing you remember was... the Only thing you remember was a deep, freezing cold (like you would never be warm again), disorienting, blinding, swirling white, and a flash of burning pain. then... nothing. nothing about who you are, who you were. though... the two skeletons in front of you seem familiar, like a memory you can't quite reach. here's hoping you can figure out Something.

Summary
The main ballroom sprawled across three levels, with staircases that curved like ribbons connecting each floor. Musicians played on a raised platform, their melodies drifting through every corner of the castle. The smell of roasted vegetables and fresh bread wafted from the kitchens, mixing with the sweet scent of the flower arrangements that decorated every table.
But Dream found himself drawn away from it all, climbing the winding stairs to one of the higher balconies. His golden circlet felt heavy on his skull. He was supposed to be the life of the party, spreading joy and positivity to everyone around him. That was his nature, his purpose as the Guardian of Positivity.
Instead, he felt something else entirely.

Summary
One day, or is it night, you wake inside a basement with a familiar skeleton staring down at you in shock. To your surprise, you know him, and the others that live within the complex. Each skeleton has a secret. Including you.
How would they react if they learned they are nothing more than fandom created characters from a beloved game? What would they do if they ever learned you were once a human?

Summary
Life is a funny thing. Sometimes people grow up and go to school and have a career, some become travelers, and some find solace in a domestic lifestyle. Others are born and then turn into a Monster when they were seven. (Hey. Thats you.)
Monsters were released from the mountain 16 years ago and when they were released, boom! A small percentage of the world turned into monsters overnight. You considered yourself a monster more so than a human. Especially after your mother dropped you off at the facility, and didn't look back. And after all this time, all there is to do is look forward.

Summary
It was cold, so cold, too cold.
You were draining, slowly, as an orange whose juice would be taken....
the warm juice, the warm and red juice. Leaking, through a dam's rift.
You felt like an empty Shell, empty of what it contained, empty, too empty.
You couldn't see anymore, couldn't hear anymore, couldn't feel anymore.
You were surrounded by emptiness. An emptiness that took everything, and nothing at once. Then, Came the light.
and you were no longer… empty.
