Summary
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me
— Unknown (first written appearance, 1830)Crime prevails. In every street, in every corner, every twisted apparition of kindness has a perception of to gain and to lose. Quid pro quo taken to its natural eventual conclusion.
Mercy is not an option in this world. And yet, there lies a soul DETERMINED to do something right, and another begging for a release that will never come.
Unlikely souls meet in the beyond, and take a journey to discover what went wrong, and how did it all go bad so quickly?

Summary
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock was raised by the Forge, and like a dragon, is forged from heat and iron. He does not last long without it.
He can't.
And Toothless would not accept the alternative. To lose their fire, a dragon would rather die.
Hiccup's always had the heart of a dragon. Hiccup runs away from Berk and gets the freedom he's always wanted. (However, problems don't stop existing just because you run away from them.)

Summary
It arrives on a raid like any other—its distinct screech, as if the air was being sheared with its power and its purple blasts—unseen for so long.
The dragon with the wingspan which no one has ever seen before. The dragon which hunts with the night as its natural habitat. The son-of-Loki, the night-fury, the creature of the night which hunted not with relentless flames but precise, methodical attacks.
Has not been heard for many winters. It arrives on any other raid, perfectly unremarkable, and as the night at its back.
It strikes like a beast worthy of a sonnet. A story worthy of Beowulf—or any myth.
And no one expects the man that sits on its back, the cruel betrayal of the man who walks like a dragon, fluidly and with an unmistakable grace that would be beautiful if it were not connected to the creatures that tear through villages, and raining fire like a recurring nightmare.
The Dragon Master makes his appearance, and Berk—for the first time in a long time—really does feel like it lies on the Meridian of Misery.

Summary
He doesn’t know when it changes. He doesn’t know when Astrid becomes something different from his idea of Berk
Somewhere in between surviving and a few moments of intimacy, a realization sets in that should have settled a really long time ago, and Hiccup doesn't know what to do with it.

Summary
“Why did you leave?”
Hiccup didn’t really know what to say to that. There were a lot of reasons, really. Toothless was just the breaking point. He’d spent so much time running, thinking life would be better on Berk without him—he didn’t really think on the why he left.
“I don’t know,” he replied simply.
In a moment between moments, Hiccup and Astrid discuss what they owe to Berk (and perhaps to each other).

Summary
Hiccup runs away, leaving a village to fend for itself. A villain appears, the epitome of what Berkians stand against. The Dragon Master, Conquerer—the names don't matter. An incarnation of the devil, they call him.
Desperation at the edge of their senses, and a world that seems cascading towards their doom. They offer a sacrifice, abandoning any principle they have for their chance for a greater good, or so they tell themselves.
After all, what are they do against a creature that edges near the gods? Able to harness the perverse destruction that dragons can hold?

Summary
A series of works (one-shots/drabbles) made for the Franstober challenge that occurred in October 2021. [list of prompts] [official AO3 tag]
Note: These works are definitely not my best, as these were one of the first prompt challenges I was participating in, and I was definitely floundering with some of the prompts. I do have some favorites here, but otherwise it's pretty subpar. Some of these I would definitely not have written the same way if I had the chance today. Discretion is advised when reading these fics.

Fated (Series) by Catsitta, Shayromi
A Hades & Persephone alternate universe of Frans. One of the best takes I've seen yet, and probably one of the only ones. It combines both stories in a way that is appealing and wonderful all the same.
It portrays Frisk's not-choice, and takes a new look into the old beloved story in Greek Mythology.

Bestiality (Longfic, Worldbuilding, Smut) by SheeWolf85
Take this bookmark with a grain of salt. Quite a handful of a fic, if I do say so myself. A sort of twisted take on the monsters from Undertale, it creates a world where monsters are the ones tormenting humans, and uses it to create the dichotomy of irredeemable monsters comes to protect innocent child.
No grooming vibes 'round here, but still a heavy and filthy fic for those who want to read it. I somewhat recommend it, though I don't think I'd read it again today.
It is however completed, and thus something you'd love to read. Don't read the tags too throughly though, you'll get spoiled with the ending.

Sanctuary of Stardust (Longfic) by Sheii
One of the more Original Character fics I've had the pleasure of reading, I've commented my fair share on this fic, and works on a whole different framework than Undertale.
It has heavy world-building, a wonderful slow build, and something that just builds anticipation about new details that come out. It introduces some known elements and introduces some unknown ones creating something that isn't close to canon, but tries to go a new route. Something not usually done within fandom.

Summary
After the barrier shattered, Sans started to display rather strange behaviors and physical changes. No one could understand why this had started to happen over the years, making Frisk worry for her friend, this goes on for years after the shattering of the barrier, then one day she finds out what had happened to him.
It seems, the problems of the Underground wasn't completely over, but now it takes place upon the surface. Will Frisk be able to confess her feelings for Sans after all these years or would his own problems and fears prevent anything from becoming romantic? Read to find out!

Monster or Beast? (Longfic) by Fire_Inu_Princess
One of the only Gaster Blaster Sans (Undertale) fanfics I have read. It really shows how romance and fear and all the delightful goodness is shown. By a quick glimpse of rereading, the narration is also good, and is one of my favorites, though I don't remember much of it right now.
It's very down to Earth and I would love to reread it someday.

Summary
As a rite of passage held by arcane law, all mages upon reaching adulthood must summon and bind a Familiar to themselves for servitude, protection and battle.
...Of course Frisk's has to be a lazy skeleton that doesn't do anything other than eat and sleep. And has the lowest stats of any summon in recorded history. She's the laughing stock of the Order.
She pretends not to notice that underneath the visage of the docile Familiar lurks something far more cunning, sinister. That looks at her with murderous intent, fury and...possession.For no-one truely remembers exactly what the Familiar Bond is...even as war looms on the horizon.

A Soul to Steal (Longfic) by Rainbowrunner01 (RedArry), RedArry
One of the fanfics I used to reread often. It's a very cool Fantasy take of Undertale focusing, of course on the mage part. It's slow to update and such, but it really takes you in with its flavor and I totally recommend it!
A rare goodie! Though, we haven't gotten to the Frans part yet. It has the whole Familiar (monster) and Mage (human) part and has some sinister undertones underlying the whole thing.
