Summary
After spending your entire life in the ocean, you unexpectedly get captured by humans and brought into some sort of... aquarium? You want nothing to do with the place, but alas, your attempts at escape have been consistently foiled. It doesn't help that the only other two mers in this strange place, Sun and Moon, seem to have no qualms about being confined to their tanks and doing tricks for the humans.
In fact... they don't seem to want to leave at all, much to your dismay.

Summary
A great source of despair draws Nightmare to an abandoned AU. There he finds an unfinished Sans with no name, no companions, no purpose, no world, and a soul. Nightmare gives him the option to get out of his abandoned, empty world. He accepts the offer but refuses to destroy anything or hurt people. Instead he finds another purpose. In return the Bad Sanses give him a home, companions, a life, and a name. They call him Ink.
Or: Before he can destroy his soul and enter the Doodle Sphere, Ink is recruited by Nightmare. He accepts his role as best he can, even if he sometimes feels like he is meant for something more.

Summary
You watched him unwrap his lunch, pouting.
“C’mon, man. Not even a bite?” He started eating and you groaned dramatically. “I’m starving. I’m dying right in front of you. You’re killing me, Papyrus.”
“good,” he muttered around a mouthful of food.
“Wow, rude. I have no idea why we’re friends.” You sighed, eyeing the glittery burrito.
“because you like to mooch off of me,” Papyrus snorted. He finished it off, cracking a grin when you whined in distress. “besides, y’know i only eat this because m’lord made it. he can always tell when i give it away. i’ll get ya something from a food truck later.”
You nearly cried. “Thank you! I swear, I’ll pay you back when I’m a millionaire.”
“so, never?”
“I’ll try.”
Papyrus shook his head with a grin, reaching out to pat your head. “guess that’s better than nothing.”
You beamed, soaking up the affection. Papyrus always had your back.
But… you were still so hungry. You worried that soon, food trucks wouldn’t be enough. Nothing would.

Summary
Monsters have been freed from the underground, and honestly, you don't really think they should have. You wouldn't consider yourself 'racist', you just fear for your own safety when murderers wander the streets and move in next door.
So spilling coffee all over a very large and intimidating skeleton monster was probably not your best move ever. But instead of gutting you, he offers to buy you another coffee. And, despite his... 'crude' language, he seems to be a nice guy. Maybe monsters aren't so bad after all?
But why do the monsters who used to pay you no mind now cast you pitying looks and avoid you all together?- Language:
