(TW: unaliving thoughts and memories at the beginning. It gets better over time, don't worry! Trauma is difficult to overcome...)
You didn't want a second chance.
You didn't want to survive.
You wanted the sweet release of death.
But it seemed like the universe was far too cruel to allow you even that.
It took away your memories, your free will to choose whether you live or die...hell, it took the one thing in life you owned! Your own name!
And now it seemed like you had to live yet another cruel life, doing things you never wanted done to others. But...at least you could do things your way.
Maybe this second chance wouldn't be so bad...
(Reincarnated as Nightmare Sans, but unlike other stories, you have no clue what Undertale even is)

The Boy Who Doesn't Speak (Sans AUs) -- BEING REWRITTEN
For some reason, Ink, the Creator and Protector of the Sans AUs, has decided that some of the Sanses of the Multiverse should go to highschool again. Honestly, no one really liked the idea, especially the Bad Sanses, including Ink's enemy, Error. Prince Nightmare is one of the AUs that must repeat these years of treachery. He basically only finished his actual highschool, and is NOT looking forward to having to do it again. Luckily his brother, Prince Dream, will be coming along the journey beside him. But Nightmare and Dream Are polar opposites, so Nightmare can't really get along with his brother's friends, nor Dream get along with Nightmare's, if he had any. With rules to follow and secrets to keep, Nightmare must go through highschool and not let slip the terrible things that happen at home. But then suddenly the two princes disappear. There's no trace as to who might've taken them, either. The only one that doesn't seem concerned is their own father, the king. King Sun-Beam. What is he hiding underneath all of those jewels and fake smiles? A/N: There is lemon/smut. So all you innocent people out there-- don't worry! Because I warn you at every chapter, and right before it happens. I designed the cover, but did the not the amazing artwork of Nightmare Sans. So credit goes to that person for the art. :D Update!!!!: This story is being rewitten. I'm making another book that'll just be this one but a little different. Once that's posted, I'll make another "chapter" in this one, giving a link to the rewrite. Thank you to everyone who still reads or checks up on this book. <3333Complete

Unwanted protection
Everyone knows the Star Sanses: they're the Guardians of the Multiverse, and protect it from Nightmare and his minions, who only want to spread chaos and destruction. They're kind, strong, brave, the good guys! How can you not love them? You can't. They deserve the world. They're perfect and selfless and precious, and must be protected at any (and I do mean ANY) cost. Not that they couldn't protect themselves, of course! It's just, the Multiverse doesn't give them the appreciation and respect they deserve, not really. But Nightmare, Error, Horror, Killer, Dust, Cross... they know how much Dream, Ink and Blue are worth. And they'll keep them safe. Forever. The credit of this story partially belongs to Stargazer_Aldroth, who created a prompt on AO3 and helped me flesh out the story before I started writing. If you're interested, you can check out the comment chain where we discuss ideas for this oneshot and eventual follow-up (for now this story is marked as complete, but I could write other chapters, who knows?) on AO3 from author Stargazer_Nebula "Undertale Writing prompts" (it's the chapter with this same title)Complete

"Bullseye" A Killermare story
Killer is a sans, and so is the rest of his crew. They call themselves "The Bad Sanses." They've all had one goal at some point in time, revenge. However, Killer is a unique specimen. He is an emotionless being. He feels nothing and nothing only. No remorse. No happiness. No mercy. All he knows is "kill," and that's how it's been for long time. However, one day he comes across a new particular type of Sans. A very colorful one. He feels something he hasn't felt for years. Freedom. Once Nightmare finds out, it's not pretty. Killer was his most loyal worker. So he decided he had to end this "friendship." The question Killer asks is, why? "Why do you need me to feel nothing? Why do you want me to be a part of your crew? You always tell me how useless I am. If I'm so useless, why do you need me?" Nightmare couldn't give him an answer. But, maybe, for once in his life, Nightmare feels something for only Killer that isn't so negative. 🎨COVER ART🎨 COVER ART WAS NOT CREATED BY ME, I REPEAT, NOT CREATED BY ME ART WAS CREATED BY pecil(BB) or @mm_loves_pencil ON TWITTER SUPER FREAKING TALENTED CHECK IT OUT!!!! ⚠️Warning⚠️ This fanfic is a little toxic. I tried making everything as canon possible, which is why I'm putting this warning. However, after writing this entire story, I realize some things are more fanon than canon. Nonetheless, serious angst goes down in the fanfic, so be warned. Contains: Heavy language Sensitive topics (such as abuse, trauma, and depression) Angst Smut (maybe, I'm still deciding) Graphic scenes containing gore -if any of the following bother you, I highly suggest not reading this fanfic- |you have been warned, so don't come at me if you don't like it| I promise it all ends on a good note. I can't personally stand depressing endings. So don't worry. But hey, enjoy your overdose on Killermare. 🤷♀️![My Villain [Dust Sans x Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/337651572-256-k593042.jpg)

This is a Dust Sans x Reader (who's female because I can't write anything other than that.) ANY ART IN THIS DOESN'T BELONG TO ME UNLESS I SAY SO.

Comfort a little Dream [UNDERTALE]
"Dream hiccupped, trembling, trying to repress those filthy thoughts, those thoughts that terrified him. But he was unable to fight back. Not while Ink was in Error's hands, wounded and unarmed. Not while all the BadSanses surrounded him, ready to react to his every move." === === WARNING = This fanfiction isn't meant to be canonical. The characters and universe used do not belong to me.
