Summary
***Remastered Version of The Reluctant Alchemist's Guide to Thedas, Part 1"***
A modern-day historian tries to survive Thedas by wit, chance, and the skin of her teeth at the questionable edges of the Inquisition.
Margo Duvalle likes her quiet academic life just fine. Her research on the history of botany is going well - until she finds an odd manuscript in the local special collections library. What starts as a promising source for a new article leads to a series of unfortunate events that hurl Margo into an unfamiliar world - and into a stranger's body. But a PhD in history doesn't prepare you for surviving in a world on the edge of collapse, especially when the organization that seeks to fix things is itself a sordid mess. As she tries to unravel the mysteries lurking behind young Evelyn Trevelyan's apparent incompetence, Margo is led into a tangled web that weaves multiple worlds together — and what waits in the shadows might be much bigger than whatever strife plagues Thedas.

Summary
You loved your husband, you did but… he changed, as quickly as a flip of a light switch the moment you had married him.
Now you were stuck in a new house, lost your job, left your friends and family behind for your husband's new job and he got increasingly more demanding of you.
Sometimes you wish you could just escape to another world, not just the one inside your mind.
Wait… what was that…? Has that door always been there?
"OH HELLO Y/N!"
"How do you-? Who are you?"
"YOUR OTHER HUSBAND OF COURSE!"
What?

Summary
"so how did you two meet?" Sans, the laid-back leader of the skelebros group asked, his grin relaxed as he leaned over the kitchen table and sipped on his morning coffee.
"Oh, uh..." You rubbed your chin and tried to play it cool. "Well, it was late last night, and I thought I was looking for a dead body in the abandoned woods, so you can imagine my surprise when I found out he wasn't my guy."
"And then I punched her," Stretch replied, handing you a plate full of buttery pancakes.
"Yeah," you hummed, oblivious to the sudden silence around you. "In the face, too."
Tldr: that time stretch brings home a mage and doesn't realize it

Summary
You're a modestly successful fiction writer living in rural Alaska; just you, your dog, and your horse in a small cabin on a large piece of property in the shadow of a mighty mountain range. You're used the the quiet, enjoy it even, but when you start having recurring dreams of a strange skeleton visiting you in the night you wonder if the solitude might be starting to get to you...at least until you realize you're not dreaming at all because Sans is, in fact, a real, live monster. Friendship, romance, and shenanigans ensue.

Summary
As much as you love STEM and your major, you think you might just have it out for your year long physics course. Luckily, help can come from unlikely places, and all may not be as lost as you think. Then again, between balancing school and work, it was already pretty chaotic. College only seemed to get more interesting once monsters were added to the mix.

Summary
Now, this is a story all about how your life got flipped-turned upside down and I’d like to take a minute just sit right there I’ll tell you how you became a dang ass skeleton fucker.
It’s been three years since monsters have integrated into society. After a frightening experience, you start to run into the same skeleton everywhere you go, and your lonely life soon makes a one-eighty turn. In a world where magic is real and monsters are kind, can you find a way to be part of it? Can you let yourself fall in love again? Can you prove to the world that Take On Me by Aha is the greatest song ever written? Because it definitely, definitely is.
PART ONE: Apartment - Chapters 1-50
PART TWO: House - Chapters 51-98
PART THREE: Home - Chapters 99-[tbd]The Reader uses she/her pronouns and is named--not a self-insert, more like a story in second-person. I don't generally reply to comments cuz I like an accurate comment count (2021 update: haha fuck that you WILL hear my love and appreciation. that is a threat). Author uses they/she pronouns plz default to "they" unless u know me, or yknow u can just call me Mod. Thank you! :D

Summary
"so how do you know papyrus?"
Too embarrassed to admit that you were a party crasher there for free food, you blurted the first thing that came to mind, "Oh, I'm, um, I'm dating his brother! But enough about me, how do you know Papyrus?"
The skeleton snickered, "oh, you didn't know? i'm the brother."
(This work was originally done by the lovely poubelle_squelette, and with their permission is being tweaked for the reader to have he/him pronouns <3)

Summary
In a world where soulmates exist, monsters and humans have one thing in common: the first time two soulmates touch, a mark randomly appears somewhere--anywhere-- on their bodies to represent their match.
It still doesn't make relationships easier...but maybe it does make them a little more interesting!

Summary
A night out with your roommates' sorority sounded like a good way to wind down from exams season, but your good intentions to keep from ruining someone's nice carpet have you end up in the middle of the forest. In the middle of the night. Very, very drunk.
Good thing you found a random house to sidle up to and ask to use their phone. Less of a good thing that the skeleton monster that lives in it is only placated by your sloppy jokes.

Eventually going to culminate in a "Six Skeletons" sort of set-up, but you don't get off as easy by knowing Classic Sans first.

Wow, this skeleton monster who came into the clinic you work at sure does keep adopting stray cats. He's kind of an idiot too, and his jokes are really inappropriate, and he may be a little excessively stabby...
You maybe might possibly be falling for him though? But good luck getting him to express a single genuine emotion lol.AKA, two idiots who are bad at emotions bond over cats. A lot of cats.

Summary
Error’s hiding place in the anti-void has been discovered. While he, Killer and Dust look for somewhere new to turn into their base of operations, they need a way to ensure that none of those annoying ‘good’ Sanses teleport into their now-known base and attack, ruining everything they’ve worked so hard to achieve.
... And that’s where you come in. An unfortunate bycatch, a human Soul who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time... and now, a hostage, to ensure that nobody gets any ideas about bursting in. Until further notice, you’re trapped in the anti-void with three unstable, terrifying interdimensional murderers- and absolutely no way to defend yourself if they decide that they’re done with this particular hostage.
You need a plan. You need a survival strategy; you’re smaller, you’re weaker, you’re alone. You need a way to ensure that the monsters don’t turn on you and eat you alive.
And, well... luckily for you...
... they seem to be touch starved.

Summary
Saving Three Ex-cell-ent Skeletons, or, The Pros and Cons You Meet as a Prison Nurse is an Undertale Prison AU. You are a recently graduated prison nurse who’s still getting to grips with your new job at New Ebbott Prison. With a big heart and an almost complete inability to say no, you find yourself in charge of three Skeleton Monsters. One is grouchy, one is flirty and one is entirely insane. Despite your misgivings, and frequent warnings, you find your ability to remain professional with these skele-boys is sorely tested.
Gore and horror chapters (mild gore and only one real horror chapter) will be flagged in the chapter notes.

A little spot for my shameless Sans x Reader oneshots and momentary inspirations to gather! Particularly, of the magical kind. Nagas, sirens, winged monstrosities, cursed creatures, fantastical beasts of all shapes and sizes... maybe even a normal skeleton once or twice, if you’re lucky! Canon is a speck in the rear-view mirror and we're all just here to have fun.
So just sit back, relax... and enjoy the mess that is me being totally self indulgent.

Summary
After an incident at the world-famous Ebott Aquarium, you find yourself placed on a team of staff dedicated to the care of the prize exhibits at the facility; three notoriously aggressive skeleton siren monsters captured in the name of 'research'. An orca with a disturbing record of finding new ways to attempt to drown his keepers, a shark who's excellent at removing whatever stray hands come his way, and a deep-sea octopus whose past (and body count) are hidden behind endless stacks of legal papers. Despite their pattern of brutally murdering their ever-changing team of keepers, they all seem to immediately take a shine to you- a worryingly bright shine. A shine that won't go away, a shine that starts to unnerve you.
However, the longer you work there, the more you see the inner workings of Ebott Aquarium. The more you realise the sirens you're 'caring for' aren't dumb beasts, they're deeply intelligent... they aren't mindlessly aggressive, they've gone insane, locked in those tiny glass cages.
... The more you interact with the sirens... the more you realise their murderous aggression might not be all that misplaced.
