Please! Don’t Fall Asleep.

Summary:

A silly little AU that randomly popped into my head about Frisk experiencing horrible nightmares causing them to avoid sleeping the best they can. Frisk becomes aggravated and desperate to stay awake when everyone tells them to sleep they lose trust in them pushing their loved ones away and hurting the people they care about.

Whatever is making them experience these nightmares is trying to send a clear message. It won't be good if they get what they want.

Chapter Text

I'm so normal 🤭

  1. Melting (like Undyne does in genocide or an amalgamate) 
  2. Fighting sans but he starts laughing after a couple of deaths basically he goes batshit like in those edgy overpowered AUs 
  3. Golden flowers consuming Frisk whole (Chara/Flowerfell reference 🤯) 
  4. maybe like a POV of a monster evacuating during genocide
  5. Undertale but everyone is dust (so like if a human fell down after a genocide run)
  6. being dissected or something
  7. Frisk gets consumed by Muffet's spiders
  8. Toriel bakes Frisk into a pie 🤤
  9. the war™
  10. Floweys “But nobody came.” thingie
  11. falling into the core 
  12. being burned alive in the Assgore fight 🤷
  13. a save file where Flowey is in control
  14. Frisk walking around their village but everyone is like shadowy with white smiles and all they can hear is laughter while they stare at them.
  15. Mettaton chasing them with a FUCKING CHAINSAW
  16. Frisk being consumed by roots and mold (like Chara's body decomposing so aesthetic 😝✌️)
  17. the POV of me realizing this is basically a Yume Nikki Undertale AU (the scariest one on the list)
  18. fuckin uhh getting hypothermia in Snowdinn lmao
  19. the Electricity Maze™ but it shocks Frick UnderTable to death
  20. drowning ig 😭

silly little ideas 

AU name ideas

  1. Undersleep 🤨
  2. YumeTale 😭
  3. dreamtale
  4. insomnia AU (I'm shit at naming oml)
  5. undersomnia 😨😭😭
  6. nighttales 😒
  7. Don't Sleep (☺️👍 finally one i kinda like)
  8. NightTerror
  9. TerrorTale
  10. Sleep Deprived

Imma need to look up more synonyms for sleep 😭 I'll get there eventually

Hallucination ideas:

  1. seeing MK (Monster kid) as Goner Kid
  2. everyone staring at Frisk
  3. seeing everyone die
  4. seeing Undyne melting
  5. seeing one of the dogs as an amalgamate
  6. Chara’s weird goopy face
  7. sans without his smile
  8. the human souls 

Basic Idea for au:

Frisky Fricker (Frisk) has nightmares that affect their daily life giving them intense paranoia during the day and making them avoid sleep the best they can.

Sometimes Fricken Chicken will black out due to who fuckin knows MAGIC!! 🙀

Fried Chicken has hallucinations when they interact with anyone causing them to shut themselves away from everyone. (The hallucinations will be brainstormed later)

After a little while Frisk looks like shit their hair is messy as fuck, they have bags under their eyes, their posture has gotten noticeably worse, they start taking less care of themselves, and most importantly they lose determination. This also affects their mood causing them to lash out at their loved ones and be overall irritable and paranoid trusting NO ONE.

Chara will try to figure out how to help Frisby after noticing how coo-coo they have been acting and will go all Sherlock Holmes with Flowey who had nothing better to do

sans is suspicious of Freaky Friday and feels like something is bothering them (woa who woulda thunk) 

Papyrus pretends to be oblivious to Frisk's complete change of personality but starts getting deeply worried and starts wondering if maybe he makes Frisk feel worse bc they've been being a lil bitch to everyone from not sleeping well

Chara and Flowey will sneak into Alphy's house to find out how to help and inevitably get caught bc they start arguing and bc Chara is a ghost Alphys cant see them (also a little headcanon that when Chara gets frightened they disappear) so that leaves Flowey alone in an awkward situation.. so he panics.. and maybe probably attacks Alphys or threatens her 

whatever happens to Alphys causes Undyne to be less energetic and more paranoid as Alphys is declared missing and ofc human police don't give a fuck bc like racism or whatever

Asgore (due to his high LOVE) can see SOME ghosts (the human souls kinda just follow him around) bc every main character is goin bananas the humans begin to get suspicious of the monsters

Like i said right there ^ the humans are getting suspicious of monsters and suspect Toriel of neglecting or abusing Frisk due to their behavior basically another war might start

due to what i said there ^ Toriel becomes SUPER overprotective

who knows why Frisk is getting these nightmares.. but someone's calling them..

Chapter Text

Morning Start!


”* WAKE UP!! YOU SNOOZE YA LOSE BOZO!!”

Frisk's eyes jolt open, in response to Charas obnoxious shouting they pull their covers over their head turning over to face the wall.

“* Five more minutes..” they mumble into their drool-covered pillow.

“* Why are you so lame!”, Chara pouts

“* Why can’t you let me rest.." they sigh covering their face with their pillow.

“* Oh, come on! Sleep isn’t that great.” the ghost folds their arms in annoyance at Frisks lazy behavior 

“* That.. That’s easy for you to say.. you're dead,” they respond through a stifled yawn 

“* Have you been hanging out with sans too much?” Chara jokes

Frisk playfully throws their pillow at Chara as if to shoo them away. The ghost child instinctively covers their face even though the pillow passes through them.

“* Alright, alright, I'll take a hint, peace.” They hold up the peace sign before disappearing into a poof of ghoulish red smoke.

Sliding on their fluffy slippers, they stretch, starting to get ready for a new day. It’s a beautiful day outside, who knows what will come their way. Excitement for the future fills Frisk with DETERMINATION! Running down the stairs into the kitchen Frisk is greeted by a soft smile complimented by the sweet aroma of fresh breakfast.

“* Good morning, my child. I trust you slept well?” Toriel sips tea from a mug that says “#1 goat mom” with goat crudely scribbled in between the words.

Frisk nods, unable to talk as they stuff their face with delicious waffles. Toriel acknowledges this and lets out a small chuckle.

“* Oh! I have some errands to run so, sans will be looking after you in a little while. Whilst I am gone please try not to cover the house in toilet paper...” She lets out a pause before she mumbles “* .. Again”.

Frisk gives Toriel a confident thumbs up holding their other hand behind their back and crossing their fingers. Chara takes no notice of this as they are hyper-focusing on trying to eat Frisk's breakfast while they are distracted.

ding dong 

Who could be at the door, so early in the morning? Frisk pays no mind to the unusual time of day for anyone to visit, shouting before Toriel can respond “* I’ll get it!”.

Frisk bolts over to the door, their friend stands patiently on the porch. “* Yo! What’s up!” Monster Kid enthusiastically yells swaying their spiky, bandage-covered tail, back and forth. Frisk rubs their eyes before asking “* What are you doing here so early?”.

“* Is 4 pm early..? Man, I really don’t understand human lifestyles!” They chuckle to themselves 

Frisk ruby-red eyes glide across the room in search of a clock... Of course, Monster Kid is correct it is 4 in the afternoon. “* Huh, guess I slept in..” Frisk lets out a small awkward laugh, scratching the back of their head.

....

Afternoon Start!


“* Never mind your absolutely horrendous sleep schedule, I wanted to know if we could have a sleepover tonight since you know... summer break and stuff.” 

“* I’d have to ask my mom first.. uh come in.” Frisk opens the door wider gesturing for them to come inside to take a seat. Monster Kid rushes inside clumsily tripping over their own feet. They slide into the comfortably decorated living room, plopping themselves onto the sofa. They attempt to grab the TV remote with their teeth they fumble struggling to press the buttons. 

A green thorny vine grabs the remote, passing it towards Monster Kid bonking them in the head softly.  

“* Try not to get your drool all over the furniture, idiot.” Flowey -who is inside a slightly cracked flower pot decorated with cute stickers- rolls his eyes at Monster Kid.

“* Thank you for helping me!” Monster Kid smiles wide revealing a single missing tooth. They headbutt the remote buttons, unable to turn the TV on. Flowey grimaces, “* I.. I was NOT helping you! I just don’t want your slobber all over our stuff!”, Monster Kid looks up at Flowey then back to the remote hinting that they need help again. Flowey sighs putting a vine on his face to facepalm out of annoyance. Reluctantly, Flowey extends a vine towards Monster Kid, powering on the TV. He contemplates whacking them in the head for a moment.“* Thank you, Flowey!!” They kick their scaled legs back and forth joyously.

Frisk walks into the living room wearing a purple sweater as well as the same MTT brand pajama pants they slept in. “* Mom said yeah, as long as we go to bed at 8 and clean up after ourselves.” they sat down next to Monster Kid. Flowey sighs, dramatically folding his vines as if he were crossing his arms. “* Simmer down, you diva plant. You’re just jealous.” Frisk teases him almost like they’re siblings. 

About thirty minutes of the three watching TV pass, with Frisk and Flowey occasionally insulting each other playfully back and forth. Eventually sans walks down the stairs, creeping up behind the children he whispers with a monotone voice, “* boo”. Frisk and Monster Kid leap off the sofa, Flowey lets out a high-pitched shriek causing everyone to stare at him “*...That wasn’t me.” Everyone bursts out laughing, Flowey however is not amused in the slightest.


“* Hey sans!” Frisk greets sans with a smile. “* hiya kid, didn't know mk was here, woulda been nice to leave in the job description.” sans slouches onto the couch “* What job?” Monster Kid tilts their head in confusion “* sans is babysitting us because Mom had busy things to do!” Frisk tries to explain but sans cuts them off “* wait, wait! humans pay people to sit on babies!?” Flowey judgmentally glares at sans for a moment until both of them shout out “* i'd do it for free!” sans finger guns Flowey who attempts to do the same thing with his vines. “* Oh my Asgore! Mk, they’re bonding!” Frisk's eyes light up momentarily “* i don't think that counts, kid.” sans shrugs “* Fuck you, bone man.” Flowey scowls. “* swear jar” sans mumbles under his breath.

BOOM!! 

“* Yo..! What.. What was that!?” MK jumps out of their seat “* prolly thunder.. didn't think it was gonna rain today tho”, sans says completely undisturbed, Flowey stretches a vine over towards the window, opening the curtains. Raindrops slide down the window tapping vigorously against the windowsill. “* Welp, that sucks.” Flowey closes the blinds with his vines.

“* Can we watch a movie!” Monster Kid asks. “* i vote star wars.” sans picks up the remote off the coffee table, and turns on star wars before anyone has time to disagree. Within about 20 minutes Flowey and Monster Kid fall asleep “* i'm starting to think they don't like sci-fi movies.” sans says quietly trying not to wake them up  ”*pfft-” Frisk giggles. “* Shut up.. calcium..” Flowey murmured still half asleep.

When Toriel arrived home she found everyone asleep in the living room together. She grabbed some blankets and covered them up. “* Sweet dreams, my child.”
