    Summary

    Skeles (commonly referred to as Sanses) are playful, happy little pets who love to make their owners happy. Edge is delighted when he meets a very special Classic-type Sans named Sans (okay, not very creative) but is disheartened to learn that his owner, Papyrus (while great at showing his love) isn't giving Sans what his species needs to live long and healthy lives. So, Edge takes it upon himself to educate Papyrus on proper Sans handling, as well as letting him know that his Sans needs to breed soon. Conveniently enough, Edge has his own Sans (a willful Fell-type named Red) that would be the perfect mate. That is, if Sans wants to.

    Summary

    "Edge was hunched in on himself, chin and shoulders tucked almost protectively. He looked defeated. Broken. Paps had seen the look often enough in the mirror that he really should have recognized it in another version of himself. There was more there, though. Fury under the fear, and a seed of determination that Paps lacked—determination, he realized, that would allow this version of himself to do terrible things in the name of survival."

    In which UF!Papyrus is gravely injured, and UF!Sans brings him to Underswap to recover. UF!Papyrus doesn't know how to handle genuine kindness, and US!Papyrus learns there's more to this other version of himself than he ever guessed.

    Warning: while there is a lot of fluff and light-hearted moments, there are also moments of heavy angst and some disturbing implications and themes. Trigger warnings are located in the endnotes of relevant chapters.

    Summary

    “You alright?”

    Mikey’s looking at him. His eyes are searching, scanning him up and down, like a watchdog. Donnie’s in the middle of getting to his feet to work, and he can’t possibly open up to him. It’s stupid. Irrational. Deplorable.

    Donnie offers back a pathetic grin. “I’m fine.” The words are quick, seamless. Mikey smiles something bright at him, the answer giving no one anything to think about, nothing to consider. Mikey is busy, busy like Donnie is, and he can’t bring himself to throw another thing onto the youngest brother.

    He feels his shell pounding. Flesh ticking like clockwork. There’s no pain, not yet, just brass bright growing stains in his flawless techwear. No one notices.

    Good. He’s got a lot of work to do.

    ///

    Or, in which Donnie is a worker first and a person second.

    (Or, in which Donnie convinces himself he is nothing more than a robot. He’ll work through the pain, work through the slashes on his shell, work through the migraines. His brothers, however, won’t stand for that…

    …If they catch onto it, that is.)

    Summary

    Leo knows this isn't about him; not anymore. But that doesn't stop the nightmares from haunting him every night, or the fact that he may have to wear a leg brace for a long time. It doesn't stop his shell from hurting, or his breath from catching when the air is too stagnant. Leo knows his brothers are struggling, too. But, in the aftermath of what happened to him - to them - he's having a really hard time getting back to normal.
