fallen soul (romance version)

Summary:

after two years in the ruins, you have finally decided to leave it behind and explore the rest of underground.
you're not leaving forever, obviously, you were going to return before dinner.
you're bound to meet some interesting people, make friend and maybe something more.

A/N:
this is my original au called fallen soul, you can follow the canon timeline on tumblr under @fallensoul_avtfol
the fic starts from the 4th or5th arc of the story, centuries after gaster's fall.
this au is inspired by underfell and timetale, but honestly isn't that much like them anymore.
it's mostly a au about emotions, grief and letting go and healing.
there will be a lot of angst and a lot of feels.

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Chapter 1: and you fall

Chapter Text

it was a snowy day, you ran trough the forest; your cheeks and nose rosy from the cold, but hidden under the white mask you were. You had a all white attire, blending you perfectly with the freshly fallen snow. Your eyes glowed under your ivory bangs, hiding your body heat with magic.

They wouldn't find you, not soon enough to stop you; you were going to be free, no matter what it took.

You were going to start a new life, with your friend; in a place you were sure was far better than where you were now.

a new name, the name your parents had given you was tainted; tainted by evil, violence and blood. it was time to leave it all behind, the truama, the pain and the grief.

you wanted to live for yourself, something you never got.

From what he had said, you were going to fit right in as long as you survived a while out there; you were going to be a peace bringer, you were DEDICATED to that cause now. To make their world better, better than the surface.

you stopped near the hole, looking down at the dark bottomless pit.

it didn't take long for your friend to appear; a marigold flower with one red petal and a very friendly face. 

"you're here!"

you nod.

"I'm ready to leave."

flowey smiles, nodding and wrapping himself around your body.  "Down we go! Welcome to the family..."

.

.

.

.

 

"Rose."

 

 

 

 

 

"rose."

 

 

 

 

 

"rose my child, wake up."

 

 

 

 

"WAKE UP RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY"

your comfortable blanket was pulled from you, you fell as the cuccoon wrapped itself and your mother folded it nearly; putting it at the end of your wooden bed. 

 

"moooommm!!!" You groggily complained. 

 

"now my child, you need to wake up on time; we don't have sun and moon here, your body will get lazy and we don't want that now do we."

you groan, standing up; a soft smile on your face.

 

it had been two years since you left the surface in favor of the underground and been adopted by Toriel; you didn't know much about your mom except the fact that she loved making corny jokes, cooking and was probably in the monster military at some point in her life. During your short time at the ruins, you had learned from more about your soul and your magic than the 20 years you had on the surface.

learned that your powers could be used to create, for good; and not only destroy and harm. You had learned about healing, something they had never bothered to tell you when you were blood covered and hurt.

you were allowed to grow out your hair, and wear colorful clothes; not just black and white clothes that were almost skin tight, no longer did you have to abid by their rules and do things you didn't want to.

it took your the perfect timing and many years to overcome your fears and leave that place; and despite the scars it left behind you couldn't be happier.

 

and you were finally ready to leave the ruins and explore the rest of underground; flowey and Toriel always warned you about the dangers of the outside world, despite knowing of your past. You couldn't blame them for being worried but you were more than capable of taking care of yourself. Sure you had left your old life behind, but the skills you had learned in those years had stuck and you had made sure to never forget those.

not wanting to harm doesn't mean not taking care of yourself when attacked; and flowey knew that.

you were planning to leave after Toriel goes out for her business and then come back before dinner; since that's how long she said she'd be gone for the day. 

You wore your favorite Rosegold shirt and pants, and headed to the kitchen; practically drooling at the amazing smell of your mother's butterscotch-cinnamon pie; after devouring your breakfast with a lovely mug of chai tea. You headed to your room and wrote a note, just incase you got home after Toriel.

 

Mom,

I'm going to snowdin to explore;

I know you're worried about me, but I am a strong adult and can take care of myself if something happens.

please don't worry too much, I'm planning to return by dinner; if something happens, I'll send flowey.

with all the love in the world.

Rosegold.

 

You looked at your clothing rack and hummed in thought.

 

should you take a warm coat? or will you go without it? you are good with cold. {encounter}

a. Go with a warm coat

b. go with your current clothes, can't be that bad.

Notes:

hope you enjoyed this chapter!
this fic is gonna have both long and short chapters, depends on the choice and the aftermath of it honestly. Sometimes things aren't worth too many words. and there usually will be only one choice at the end of the chapter since all your choices kinda matter.
