Summary
“Right, ehm, well I’d be honored to help you Mr. Tenna!” Especially for Mettaton’s sake, but he’d keep that to himself.
He felt his chest swell with pride seeing the giant Darkener beam at him, his screen washing him over in a pleasant glow.
“Oh that’s WONDERFUL! Just wonderful, you’ll be a great help you know!” He seemed to sprout several feet then, forcing poor Papyrus to crane his neck quite a bit just to maintain “eye-contact”…
Even if neither of them had any eyes to begin with, but that was besides the point.
His massive palm clamped down on the skeleton’s shoulder, and he found himself buckling under the weight as he forced a cheery laugh. “Yes, well, the Great Papyrus is always willing to lend a helping hand!”
————
OR, Papyrus decides to go over to Napstablook’s house to keep his cousin some company, unknowingly stumbling into a grand Dark World and getting roped up in Tenna’s ambitions to impress his new friend.

Summary
I don’t want to be a heart in cage for the rest of my life.
I want to be free.
I want to matter.
I want to matter.“I want to matter.”
You feel Kris’s lips curl, slow, methodical. It’s an expression they’ve worn often, when it comes to you, but never has it been anything so terrible as a smile.
“You don’t.”OR it was never to know what would happen, it was always to be free.

Summary
The Gear Cell is the most profound, yet most misconstrued device of the century.
It was never intended to be weaponized, and that has never been clearer now than ever before. With the introduction of human-Gear coexistence, Lilith sees the nature of Gears to merely be harkening back to their original design.
With one thing missing from the equation.

Summary
Spamton still remembers the strings. He remembers Godhood, he remembers [[ H E A V E N ]].
They whisper to him, hushed and low, beckoning him close to peer through the pool of his own mortality, and glimpse the treasures that lie beyond.
He reaches into the void, and the void reaches back out to him. A chill rocks his body with the force of a blade, lodging in the cracks and fissions along his form. But just as soon as it assails him, it departs. Taking its cold, dark tendrils with it and withdrawing into the tide, leaving him hollow and disoriented.
He remembers the strings, but they aren’t here anymore. He remembers the Voice, but [ [[ H E ]] isn’t here anymore.
Spamton heaves a sigh, rubbing the grime and oil off his hands. If only freedom were so simple.

Summary
Spamton, just recently fired from his job, has been mercifully offered a chance at another establishment within the heart of Cyber City, coinciding with other Addisons to hopefully mold what little skill he has into success.
This is his last offer, his final opportunity to achieve his dream and fulfill his ultimate purpose.
But when rubber meets the road, the success that he aspires for is little more than an illusion.
What luck would it be then, that his illusion became a reality, through one little phone call?

Summary
Ralsei wasn’t all that experienced in the matters of the heart, nor of humans, really. What else could be said? He spent his time up in his tower, busying himself with books and nonsense that anyone in their right mind might laugh at.
He was laughable, really.
But he couldn’t turn away a strange human in need, especially when they seemed so troubled.

Summary
A collection of writings, mainly associated/dedicated to Birdbrains, surrounding Spamton G. Spamton & a few other characters. (This is generally because I am a bit impatient and want to practice making him go crazy bonkers, so I get to have the best of both worlds.)
Most of this will be angsty, weird, and messy.
