Hello people of the Undertale Fandom! I have recently joined your ranks and had gotten the game myself after watching Jacksepticeye's runs through both the Genocide route as well as the True Pacifist Route. However, this shall not be in the Canon realm. In fact, it will be post Pacifist route with a pairing that is considered a bit of a crack one.
I shall be doing a MuffetXFrisk Fic! Why? Because I have read the minority of fics that has this pairing and some of them are well written. I also do like the idea of the confident, family loyal, and business savvy Muffet becoming enamored with Frisk!
I shall be doing my best to keep Frisk in their ambiguous Gender role, but if they do end up with a gender that is because it got a little bit too time consuming to figure out just the right ways to put the gender neutral wordings in correctly. Also, please do not judge me too harshly since this is my first Undertale Fic.
With all that said, shall we begin?
Note: A guest noticed a mistake I made, so thank you Guest for your aid! Also, someone named Artheartsoul1 noticed a different mistake I made, so even though your review felt a little condescending I must thank you as well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Undertale, Frisk, Muffet, the spiders, or anything else! I do own the plot since this would probably never happen in Canon. I mean the two of them only had one conversation and that was with Muffet sending accusations Frisk's way the entire time! Still, one can dream.
The life of a newly freed Monster can be quite a trial if they lack the skills to transition into aboveground life. With the barrier that separated the below world with the above now shattered, that transition process is one of the main struggles monsters are having. Whether it is from a lack of useful skills, prejudice of how they look, or false rumors being spread the people of Underground face many problems every day. Yet, everyone refuses to be put down by these issues. No, they choose to stay determined in the face of adversity; however, it is impossible to deny that some have it a bit easier than others. Humanity has always had a penchant to show favoritism towards the more small and meek- or at least when they think the being is small and meek.
The ghostly Napstablook, with his stereotypical ghost-sheet look, has had some success in the DJ business. His shy nature combined with self-destroying words has made many pity him to the point that even the most adverse human can't help but try to cheer him up. Also, he actually is pretty good in the DJ booth despite not having any arms, hands, or useful appendages. Sometimes he even helps out the Underground Celebrity Mettaton. The popular robot entertainer has returned to his more blocky form when he discovered it appealed to both his Monster and Human adolescent fans. In fact, his fan base is exploding upward at quite the alarming rate. Rumors have been spreading that a movie may be in the making about his transformation from lowly citizen to the success he is now. Should that be true then we would have his manager to thank: the Great Papyrus!
The lanky skeleton wasn't in show business at first due to the fact he desired to make his mark in the culinary arts; however, that didn't turn out so well due to the numerous complaints about his cooking. Also those fires that somehow happened after trying to boil water. People were wondering why the noodles in his spaghetti turned a mixture of green and orange. So, with his cooking career not really taking off he and his brother, Sans, decided to try their hand at helping a rapidly rising star. The ever enthusiastic Papyrus would be the face of the agency, which is something he loves, while Sans handled the more detailed work. Somehow this produced a winning combination of publicity and efficiency. However, there is one odd thing that hasn't changed: Papyrus has yet to change from his 'battle body'. Even in interviews he is never without the red scarf around his neck, equally red boots and gloves over his feet/hands, and gold trimmed outfit. Not that Sans is any better since he still has on a blue hoodie at all times.
Early on, there was a unanimous decision to keep the youngest of the skeleton brothers away from all cooking utensils. They claimed it was so he could stay focused on his job. This left a catering job open, and there was simply only place that could work for them. Little Miss Muffet's Bakery was the first and only business that was called on. Ever since she had left the Underground in style, thanks to one heated limo, with her arachnid family Muffet had immediately set up plans for her own bakery. The young lady had the skills to bake some incredible treats, so why not cash in on it? Her bakery would also have to double as her home to save on some costs, but that was fine to her. The extra cash saved allowed her to customize her abode more personally.
The outside of the building had a dark blue base with black sections that closely resembles a webbing design. The 'webbing' stems from the large sign reading out 'Little Miss Muffet's Bakery', and the inside of the building makes it seem like it is constantly Halloween. Since she opted to have some black lights installed to keep the place looking more like home what should have looked white instead glow a light purple while the red velvet of the seats remains the same. Her family had taken the time to adorn the ceilings with webs of various sizes to give the place more of a dark mood, yet the largest web is near the register. With thicker webbing made by her own two hands Muffet had crafted a web large enough that she could comfortably sit on while taking orders. Still, she rarely used it since she is often needed in the back where her kitchen is.
In the kitchen, the young arachnid Monster proved her ability to multitask with all six of her hands doing separate tasks. Getting the ingredients out, mixing them properly, rolling out the dough, shaping said dough, and preparing the oven could be easily accomplished in the span of five to ten minutes depending on what she was making. This made her place the talk of the town with her excellent quality and speedy delivery. Still, her business wasn't always successful. At first no one would even get close to her place with the tension between Humans and Monsters thick in the air. It didn't matter that she basically looked like an adorable little girl with an red jacket along with some puffy shorts that are a lighter shade of red. It doesn't even matter that she has a large red ribbon tied on the front of her jacket.
Her skin was still a light shade of lavender, she still has six arms, and she still has five compound eyes that were purely black with no pupils. This made her a target for all humans that were against the monsters staying around. The number of times that they had defaced her darling store were too numerous to count. It seemed like graffiti was going to be their weapon of choice for a time. At least the paint never stayed long thanks to her spider friends. They always would swarm out from the building with cleaning supplies and take care of the defacing. Though they usually tried to do it before Muffet could awake. They didn't want her to go on a rampage to find the people who dared to try and damage her place of business. Still, she was bound to find out sooner or later, but when she did the young Monster took it far better than anyone thought she would. Although, for some reason the people who kept on spray painting her building was found hung upside down on a street lamp with large amounts of webs holding them up. They were also muffled by extra webbing covering their mouths.
Ever since then her place of business was largely avoided by crooks in fear of what the little girl could do to them. The only over incident of note was when a couple of wannabe thieves smashed through her front door waving a revolver and a shotgun. Before the police could even arrive shots were fired; however, when the police did burst into the building with their guns raised they found the burglars covered head-to-toe in spiders while a cupcake-spider hybrid about the size of a great dane stood in front of them. What may have been the most strange thing was the fact Muffet was sitting casually on the hybrid while sipping some tea. When she noticed the police she even offered some tea to them. It became abundantly clear that the little girl was not to be underestimated.
The rumors of the little girl may have scared all but a few customers though. Other than some teen with a black jacket frequenting her bakery, her other regular customer remained Frisk. The young human that saved all of the Underground, and the same human that helped make her initial bake sale a success. She had seen the human read her sign before looking at her prices. They left for a good few hours before returning with nine thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-nine dollars. They had been the only person to buy a single Spider Doughnut from the Hotlands stand, and their money was what ultimately got the limo for her family and friends. The act made it a lot more difficult to go through with attacking them in the next room; however, with the sheer amount of money that could go towards a living space for all of the spiders in the ruins it was impossible to resist. Ultimately, Muffet failed to defeat young frisk before she let him go because of his kind hearted treatment to the Arachnids.
Given the limited time the two have had together it was odd to see Frisk being one of her original customers. The human had even stuck to having Spider Doughnuts instead of some of the more 'humanity friendly' pastories in her shop. The only other one to eat her unique treat, that was human, was that strange teen that was always garbed in a black jacket. Weird guy. Despite her best efforts, her bakery wasn't making enough to keep the lights on for very long. Her savings were being blown through for just the basic needs, and she was under the threat of being kicked out with her family. That was when her saving grace came walking through. Undyne, who now works as Mettaton's personal bodyguard, came by for something to eat. After ordering a couple of different flavors and giving Muffet just enough money to make the day successful she took the pastries with her to her job. Several people, unwisely, snagged some of the baked treats before making it clear that they loved the food to each other as well as everyone on the internet.
Soon word had spread to Mettaton himself who quickly learned of Muffet's financial troubles, so with a little bit of celebrity muscling he hired her to cater some of his shows. She would be paid for the gig and it was free publicity to the people of the world. The word had soon spread of her quaint little shop, and people couldn't have enough of her. If her food was good enough for someone like the Robotic Phenomenon then it must be amazing right? It didn't take long for her bakery to be bursting at the seams with customers. It turns out that once they got past the strange looks, the human race could be more than kind with someone with this level of skill. It didn't hurt that she was also one of the most adorable things they have ever seen. Now with her business a great financial success it could be easy to forget about the people who helped her in the very beginning, but Muffet is not the kind of person to forget someone who helped her in her time of need. It was like a debt to her, and she does not like being in debt.
However, when she tried to pay Frisk back for their help in making her a success she was reminded of their selfless nature. They insisted that she kept the money for a rainy day fund, even though she already had three that was overflowing. So, she was forced to find different ways to repay them back slowly. The Arachnid girl made sure that Frisk always had the freshest of her treats. They were put at the top of priorities for any delivery orders- even surpassing Mettaton himself. No matter what the situation was, they were allowed to get their baked goods before anyone else. A good few months of that should have put the 'debt' down to zero, but there were things that Frisk did that kept it going. It was mostly small things like helping out with cleaning, maneuvering people to their seats, being peacekeeper between human and monsters. It was almost like he was working at the place without getting a paycheck. That would not happen.
Even if she had to stick the money to the human she would get him to take what she owed. At least, that was the plan. While she was biding her time to give said money to the child the two of them had some small conversations. Unsurprisingly, Frisk is a great person to talk to. They rarely ever spoke out of turn. They remained constantly polite, and the human had some wisdom beyond their years. Then her arachnid contacts relayed some extra information about them. She did send them out in pure curiosity, but what she learned surprised her. Even though she had experienced his generous nature first hand the Monster girl was genuinely confused to learn that Frisk hasn't had a single violent confrontation with anyone. It was like they were perfectly docile in every situation. One of her spiders even reported that the human had been the victim of a violent mugging. She nearly sprang to her feet with her fangs ready to send her own brand of venom into the bastard that tried it.
Her informant had quickly stopped her by informing her that Frisk had actually talked the mugger down. Their kind nature made the criminal break down into tears before giving back the human's items. Her spider had followed the criminal around for the next few days while watching him completely turn his life around. The man had reconnected with his family after years of trial and hardship, he got himself some help for some personal mental issues he has gotten due to his past, and he had even started to mend his relationship with his children. It was certain to be a long, hard road but he started down a better path thanks to Frisk. The news had completely stumped Muffet. There is no way that a person as kindhearted as Frisk existed right? There must be something that they do that isn't so picture perfect. However, as more and more spiders came to her to inform their deeds that thought was quickly demolished.
The kid had little to no enemies, a plethora of good friends that they care deeply about, and a perfect record of kindness. Not to say that the human was a saint though. They still did some things that wasn't exactly pure in nature, but these were small incidents here and there. This newly reinforced knowledge had her looking at Frisk in a whole new light. She watched them a bit more carefully causing her to personally notice his overwhelming kindness. From the corner of her eyes she could see him going out of his way to make sure everyone was comfy and content. Need someone to talk to while waiting in line? Well, the human had already proven that they were great at conversation. Want some suggestions from another human being? The kid has plenty to give. Just want someone to show you around? Frisk practically knows every inch of the place.
It was strange, yet endearing the way the kid did all this. Muffet also began to notice the way they gave their all into helping her around the place. True, it could be hard for one Monster to keep the place working like clockwork- even with her arachnids to aid her. However, when Frisk was around it seemed so much more bearable. Perhaps even a little bit fun. She always gave some of her own banter to the kid while they smiled. Sometimes they even made it into some form of game that neither of them knew the rules to. It didn't matter though since they both thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It became kinda sad when Sans and Papyrus came by to get the Human, or when their job as ambassador kept them from coming in. Which causes Muffet quite a bit of confusion of why that would be.
Sure, the child was a treat to have around. They made the place a lot more friendly, and they may have even became one of the few friends she has outside of her spidery companions. Why then, did she feel indescribably happy when they did show up? Why did that kid seem to brighten up her day just by nodding to her? Why did she study them so intently? Most importantly though, why does she feel a little empty when they weren't around? It was probably just the fact she isn't used to having a friend like them. Yeah, a friend who will do almost anything for you no matter the cost. One that would die for you should you be in trouble. A friend who, admittedly, looks rather good in their striped shirt and simple jeans. Not many people could pull something so simple off like that after all. Really, how could someone manage to make that work so well?
Anyways, it was probably because of being a new friend. This feeling should fade over time as she gets used to their presence. Even if she may not want it to leave, but that's fine. Maybe the rush of blood to her cheeks will also disappear if she stares back into Frisk's eyes more often. Perhaps if she spent more time with them this bizarre hitch in her breathing will disappear instead of becoming a nuisance every time the kid gets close enough to her. Her stomach should stop feeling so strange, she should get her focus back, and maybe her thoughts won't be stuck on that human. It should go away soon enough, even if she doesn't want it to.
It's not like she has a crush or anything.
Ah... Minor characters. I had very little to work with when it came to Ms. Muffet, but I was determined to try my hand at this. As mentioned above, I have come to love this pairing. It may be impossible to be canon, but I enjoy it greatly.
I think I may have made this rather cheesy though with the final stretch. Did not want that to happen, but unfortunately I am good with Angst and Fight scenes. Not Romance. Oh well, gave it a good try.
I do hope that you enjoyed my interpretation of the aftermath of the True Pacifist Run. I put some thought into what each person would be doing afterwards, and the Skeleton Bros working as an agency just came to me out of nowhere.
Anyways, I would be grateful if you could inform me of what you thought of this story. Follow, favorite, review, comment, Pm me, that's all up to you. I would love it if you could tell me what you thought.
Also, I think I remained constant with Frisk's ambiguous gender, but I could have slipped up somewhere. Please inform me if I did.
Added in: At this current time, I've reached chapter 25. Now, I'm surprised that there has been so few comments about Muffet's infamous standing with some people. I really shouldn't have to explain what that is. Regardless, I now believe I should explain two things.
One, I fully believe that Muffet is not an adult. Her dress style, size, and demeanor points to this. Unlike Sans, who resembles that of an short adult, Muffet doesn't share that. She even is working a bake sale. Now, unless you have a child, when does an adult ever make a bake sale as their place of business!?
Two, comments made about that Muffet reputation is not welcomed. You don't like this pairing or Muffet in general? This isn't for you. Those who are nice enough not to be annoyances can stay and browse the story if they wish. Those who wish to create trouble can leave.
I made this section due to the annoyances of a few people. I hope it doesn't bother anyone. Finally, if you're an actual member of Fanfiction I will most likely start a chat with you to find out why you decided my story was worth being a jackass at. If you're a guest? Well, you didn't bother to care enough to leave a name, so I won't bother having your review on my story. Sorry for taking up more of the time of those who actually wish to read this story.
I have to go now, so see you later! Bye!
