The Patient Soul of Destiny Bleak

by Dawn Totadile

This story has nothing to do with the Ariel Gaster stories and is cast in a very VERY different AU of Underfell than what I've at least found so far. Let's just say that not everything about Sans is what it seems, and what is Frisk's mysterious, and only living, family member hiding? How much has Papyrus kept as well? Sorry for the crappy summary, the story is better though.

2. Chapter 2

I've been living in the Underground for four years now under the guise of Papyrus' brother. It's funny how many people can't tell I'm a girl or that I was once human. I honestly don't care though. Papyrus has to act like a jerk to me outside of the house in order to keep me safe. He doesn't know that I've already scared the majority of the underground , hehe. Monsters learned not to mess with me pretty quickly, especially after I bring out a Gaster blaster that was given to me by his dad before he jumped into the core to end his life… for a fucking genius, he sure wasn't very bright.

This place is a paradise compared to the surface world. Seriously, if I could, I'd show them all just how horrible the surface was. I've told Papyrus, who I've taken to just calling "Boss", all about what I know of the surface. He's intrigued with it, even though I've told him what could happen. In the four short years that I've known him, he's gone up from being a sentry like when I first met him, to being a fierce captain of the royal guard. No one knows who his father is anymore, though that's probably cuz the madman jumped into the damn core and let that bitch Alphys take over.

I don't know why, but the Boss has allowed the entire underground to think that I'm his brother… he's not my brother… my big brother is dead… but he is cool… too cool really. Sometimes I think that I am completely useless to him, but then he says that he needs me to help him survive this hellhole cuz I'm more loyal than those dumb dogs. After four years of dealing with this crap-fest of a world… I now realize two things. First off, Papyrus is hot and I wish that he liked me more than just for my damn loyalty. The second thing is this; I still don't know why the hell he keeps me around! I'm useless! True, I don't need saving and my magic is actually pretty damn powerful for someone with one lousy HP, but I keep getting sick and we keep pretending that its just me being lazy! Sooner or later someone will question why the Captain's "brother" is so weak.

… is that… a human…? I make my way closer… is that… Frisk? . . . Shit.
