    Summary

    Sans mistakes an orange glow in the forest for a human soul...
    Shenanigans ensue; pun are learned... so many puns...

     

    This is just a collection of Grillby and Sans being friends as kids and staying friends as they grow.
    Grillby and Gaster do mostly talk in sign language, but I don't know sign language myself so I may include words that do not exist in sign language, but I am trying my best. Stuff said in sign language will be in italics because I find it a bit easier myself.
    More tags may or may not be added.

    Summary

    If Sans was really awake while his dad carried him to bed, savoring the feeling of being held like he had when he was younger, Gaster would never know.

    And if Gaster dreamt of tests, drills, and the sound of his two favorite kids in the underground screaming for help while he hurt them…

    Well, the boys never had to know.

     

    AKA a few nightmares send Gaster spiraling, and a failed experiment lands him in a new universe completely.

    Summary

    Sans can't keep a job. All Gaster knows is work.

    update note 4/13/2025 - the previously aforementioned drawings I said I would be slowly replacing throughout the story after the discord links broke still hasn't happened, and I still haven't made any progress on this story since chapter 18.

    6/1/2025 - it's more likely the sun will explode tomorrow than it is for me to return to this work

    Summary

    “You really like him, don’t you?” I felt how he put his arm around my waist. That’s what I can only assume to be an advanced-level dance position. Im nervous.

    “Of course, I'm the royal scientist dear, figure it would be the obvious.” He noticed how I was unsure of where to place my free hand, so he guided it to his shoulder. “I have been at his service since….” The song was over, he took too long to ask me to dance, and now a different song was about to start.

    “Since?”

    “Since the war.” The new song began; it was passionate, and apparently he also liked this one because the dance was already starting.

    Summary

    Their father was good man, a kind man. At least, Sans liked to think so. But their old man was dead, gone with the wind, you could say.

    There was no way of getting him back, was there? And besides, why should Sans care? He gave up a long long time ago.

    Yet, hearing the exchange between Flowey and Frisk, it seems like Sans cared more than he had ever thought.

    Summary

    It had been more than a year since he put away the machine. It was pointless, after all. He was never going to fix it. He was never going to find who he was looking for.

    But after Frisk pries into the plates on their hands, the thoughts won't leave him alone, and Sans decides to give the machine one more go. And despite all his expectations, it finally works.

    It just doesn't work the way he was expecting.

    (Handplates, Post-Pacifist.)

    Summary

    “The specimen has opened its eyes. It seems to be cognizant? After a few minutes of looking around it started to cry, and reached out with the apparent desire to be comforted.

    It seems to have an actual, fully-functioning soul.

    This is... unexpected. The plans will have to be modified.”

    Summary

    These days the King is more interested in weird metaphysical biology than physics, which means that Dr. Gaster's project to build a decent generator is not only woefully underfunded, but he has to deal with cruddy technology short-circuiting and exploding constantly. He'll have to pick a team, and indicatively, one of the applicants only has one HP. And he blows up Gaster's office during their "interview."

    May or may not contain: tea-drinking, depression, cats, anxiety, swearing, annoying dogs, death and near-death, gravity related injuries, conflicted Asgore, a non-Gaster Royal Scientist, crumbs of Toaster, humans, platonic Sanster, honorary science daughter Alphys, PICK UP YOUR SOCK SANS, unfriendly eldritch critters that don't like the monsters living in their caves, snarky fire elementals, monster souls and their curious properties, odd skeleton behaviors, magic malfunctions, and spatio-temporal displacement.

    Gaster as a friendly derp boss monster physicist who for once isn't interested in breaking the Barrier.

    Sans as an angst-ridden smol fragile marshmallow with malfunctioning magic.

    Alphys as the voice of reason that Gaster does not internally have.

    Summary

    Toriel promised herself she would never leave the Ruins, but she left anyway. Just for a short time. Just long enough to gather supplies. But this time, she leaves a bit earlier, and when she sneaks into the laboratory of one W.D. Gaster, she finds three skeletons instead of two.

    One old skeleton, who will always be a boy in her eyes, and two little ones, with bright, innocent eyes and hands untouched by metal plates.

    Based on the "momplates" AU of Zarla's "Handplates" - also an AU of my own fic, Butterscotch and Bones.
