A.N.: The world of Undertale AUs fascinate me, to say the least. It can range from a basic role reversal like "Underswap" to a different setting like "Outertale", or even something completely different in tone and character like "Underfell"; it is always interesting to see just how different a story can be from a fans perspective. While I'm not the biggest fan of a majority of these AUs (what the hell were they smoking to create "Underlust" or "Freaktale"?), I can still appreciate when someone loves a piece of work so much that they try to pull a different spin on it.
So, naturally, I want to put a different spin on Undertale, though it will revolve around small, but still significant, change. That being; the roles of Undyne and Alphys are swapped with Toriel and Asgore, respectively. While not explored often, I think the concept of empress/queen Undyne is actually really fascinating. Beyond "Horrortale" and a few post-neutral ending fanfics, I've never really seen that many people really take a stab at an AU where Undyne and Alphys are both the queens.
To be more specific, this re-imagining is based on an image on DeviantArt I found the other day where Alphys was the guardian of the Ruins and Undyne was the Queen/Empress. I forgot the name of that AU, but it stuck out to me as an interesting premise. The following chapters will focus on the core 4 cast (Alphys, Undyne, Toriel and Asgore) and how their reactions to Frisks actions will differ from their canon counterparts. The rest of the cast, however, will remain unchanged, and most of them will only make an appearance to the end. Apologies for those who wanted to see more of Sans, Papyrus or the like. But this story is more about these four people and how the changes in the story affect them greatly.
Thus, without further ado…, enjoy the next chapter of "Another Perspective".
