The Glitch

by LazyRainDancer

(New Summary) Undertale? Of course, you’ve heard of it. Who hasn’t heard of that popular video game? You’ve read more fanfics for that game than you can count. You never once considered that it was more than just a game, though. It’s not until you suddenly wake up in the world of Undertale that you realize that the characters are actually real. Amazing as this is, you can’t help but be concerned about how you got there. One minute you're walking to class, and the next you're waking up in the snow. And, if appearing in Undertale wasn’t already a big enough shock, you keep AU jumping and ending up in different Undertale-based worlds! While you have no problem with meeting the different versions of everybody’s favorite skeletons, you quickly realize something weird is going on in each world you visit. Something that’s causing a lot of trouble and damage. Looks like you won’t be able to go home until you figure this mess out. Well, at least you get to befriend some cute skeletons along the way. Wait a minute! What the hell is wrong with your soul?!!

Sixbones Separated

by cunzy4

After the horrific "accident" that fused Sans and Papyrus into one of the nightmarish Amalgamates, Alphys is at a loss for what to do with... it? them? him? She is desperate to hide the evidence of what she's done, but one scared scientist can't deal with a spaghetti-loving, semi-sentient monster all by herself. Undyne has stepped up to share the responsibility of caring for the thing that her friends have become... but as time passes, Undyne is becoming more desperate to get Papyrus and Sans back. Desperate enough to attempt a risky procedure to separate the Skelebros in the hopes of restoring them to their former selves.Will this work? Maybe. Will this be horrifying? Definitely.Based off Zarla's Sixbones AU.

Ancient Magickes

by Flying_Dragonite

"Legend has it, an 'angel' who has seen the surface will descend from above and bring us freedom." Unbeknownst to both human and monsterkind, the term 'angel' dates back to before known history. Before the Barrier was raised, before the war was even a thought in the darkest of the humans and monsters. 'Angels' referred to those rare instances when a human and monster would come together to produce new life - a hybrid of human and monster. Long forgotten by all, there are those among the humans still carrying the potential to inherit these traits. Upon Harry Potter's 16th birthday, he finds himself receiving a creature inheritance of such monumental importance, that he may be the key to peace, between monsters and humans, purebloods and muggleborns, wizards and muggles. And he had always said he simply wanted to be "just Harry".

Feelin a Little Bonely

by Anonymous

A compilation of one-shots and drabbles, centering around Undertale and its AUs.EDIT AS OF OCT. 18, 2018: A lot of these fics are really old, really awkward, and really bad, especially near the beginning. This oneshot collection was a learning experience for me and I appreciate it greatly, and I even have some pieces in here that I still think are of nice quality. However, a lot of these are blatantly lacking. Anyways, I hope you can read it for what it is and was: lots of practice.

A Failed Experiment

by CatKing_Catkin

Written for the "Cheer Up The Skeleton" week on tumblr, Day 7 - prompt "winding down". Takes place in the "Handplates" AU created by zarla, between "A Brief and Mostly Unpleasant Childhood" and concurrently with/instead of "Bad Choices". Doctor W. D. Gaster has a choice to make. He's waited too long to make it - his work is in danger, his plans are in danger, and his objectivity has undeniably been compromised. He sees two ways forward - drag himself back on track, or give the whole experiment up as a failure. The number of timelines in existence approaches infinity. In this one, he chooses Mercy.

ASL Tutorial

by Octosan

The heart of a pacifist is put to the test, and so is the game's coding, when the child returns to the underground with her friends. Her aim was the Core and its creator, but that was only the first step and arguably the easiest one. Now, as she only starts to understand horrifying revelations about the past of two of her best skeleton buddies, the child must try and find a way home for all of them and understand that some people just really suck to be nice to. Uses the Handplates AU for Dr. Gaster.
