Guys I want to post another chapter to my story, but it’s only written half way through

Would you guys like it if I posted what I have of the first half then update it when I have the entire chapter completed?

This one is shifting the perspective to a different narrator

[bittersweet-goods]

Upon looking at the pole, it’s mostly divided. I even got some good suggestions in the comments! But it seems that stories around the bad sanses are pretty popular! I definitely see the appeal, maybe I should start working on some stuff with them…

I always love writing complex relationships and the struggle to be better and they have so much potential for thatttt 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯

Chapter 2: Something to Eat

Grumble…

….

….

Spinel trudges through the snow, depleted. He’s slouched over, dragging his axe behind him, leaving a trail in the snow of his whereabouts. This way, he doesn’t get lost since he’s strayed from his usual post in the white desert. He doesn’t usually go far from his shack, but he and his brother are particularly desperate today. His body hangs heavy with no sleep or food to support its function. He watches, vigilant for any sign of food. It’s been several weeks since Papyrus last had anything to eat. His single eye light glares wide with one intent in mind: survival.

Trees bunch in dark, tall, unnerving groves, hiding the disgusting secrets of gory sights. He just has yet to hear one of those precious whispers of a meal, but he can’t turn back, not yet. He can’t go home without something for Sugar. His crooked, gnarled teeth suggested a smile, but Sugar’s eyes betrayed his growing torment. The hunger consumed all of them, biting into their livelihood each and every day they were deprived of food. Sugar tried to deny his thirst in the sands of barren terrain, but Spinel knew him too well even as they let their emotions run high. Their yelling and passive aggressive moments couldn't hide how much they cared, and Spinel realized this. So, he strained his energy and strength to track down something for him. Sugar needed the food more than himself, and he didn’t need to know Spinel didn’t eat. Spinel would simply say he ate some on the way home.

…

…

Rising in the distance Spinel caught sight of urban structures. Buildings typical of a more modern town rest dormant, ruined as all seemed still. Doors splintered in various spots, windows cracked from the frames edges, and claws littered the area. He could smell the presence of some kind of mammal with the stink of fur. He didn’t know the location, but he could decipher that something lived here–something edible. His mouth nearly started watering at the thought. He prowled around until his instincts led him into a particular structure. This place held a certain feeling of holiness as the roofs sloped downwards before curving up towards the ends, and lanterns hung at each corner of the tiled tops. The pillars commanded respect as he peered at the architecture with passing interest. He slightly squints his eye, analyzing the place, and hears a slight shuffle inside. It’s time to eat.

He sneaks around a window, and looks inside to find several Tanu Tanu sleeping. He’s lucky the day protects him from the nocturnal eyes of one. If a single step creaked, he wouldn’t walk away without some struggle as a whole family rests within. Nothing his magic couldn't deal with, but he contained no control as his main source of command was torn away from him. And if he went overboard–using up all his mana–the thorny thrills of pain sunk into his bones. He really wishes he still had his eye, it would make surviving easier.

In the middle of the room, a pile of red apples lays, welcoming the start of rot. They hold the same essence as fuji apples, but grew corrupted by mold’s grasp. Spinel couldn’t pass up on the chance to provide food to his brother. He swings the wood of his grand axe onto his shoulder as he ventures forth. The door widens open as Spinel carefully steps through the entrance. No creature awakes from their daytime sleep. Not yet. The small murmurs of their breath and rising stomachs kept Spinel wary of their possible wake. He takes a few steps, only the subtle muses of rest and the threat of battle accompanying him. Nobody stirs at his movement as he creeps around. Spinel steps in front of the collection of putrid apples, pausing before greedily grabbing stuffing all he could into his trusted hoodie’s pockets. He knew the thing could carry him through this. Spinel turns around into an amble, breathing out in relief. He keeps walking until an apple, less decayed as the rest, slips out of his pocket. It hits the floor with nearly no sound, leaving some mush behind, but it’s enough to urge the sleeping monsters out of their slumber.

They rise with a fierce uproar, snarling at Spinel. The fur on their back stands at an end, and their teeth stand out despite the dim lighting. The world continues to darken around Spinel as all his enemies sharpen. There’s no time to panic–not when you’ve become the apple of an entire group’s eye. They’re ready to devour him whole, to crunch into his bones. They surround him, and he can’t help but grin. Ulna these pieces of meat were too much to face at once, but he could soften them up enough to get home to his brother.

Spinel acts on instinct, and bones suddenly protrude from the ground. Some attackers nearly avoid the threat, while others shriek in pain. Their screams ring in Spinel’s ears, soaking into his hoodie. It feels so incredibly heavy as he watches their wounds pour out blood. The intensity of the moment rains down on him, but he continues to defend himself. He swings at the nearest Tanu Tanu, creating a brutal slice at the monster’s front. He can see all the moving parts of the creature within, working to stay alive despite the window into their space. Saddest of all, Spinel sees some of the Tanu Tanu eyeing the red on their friends. They look as if they've just been given monster candy, one that’s their favorite flavor no less. Spinel can’t help but notice the outline of their ribs. Teeth sink into his arm, ripping new holes into his hoodie, and Spinel desperately fights off the monster. He can feel his sweat drip down his skull as he summons a bone attack that sends the creature’s body slam onto the floor. He reminds himself that it’s not for himself, it's for Sugar. He needs to get out of here. Spinel deals another round of bones before he evades to the shadows where he reappears in the forest.

…

He nearly gagged at the sight. He didn’t have any other choice.

In front of him, Sugar tried keeping the rotten apple down. Fuzzy greens and grey taints the slush. Some parts are soft enough to slip through Sugar’s large hands, while most stay put. Sugar insisted they sit at a table, even if Spinel refuses to eat. So, he watches his brother try to lift up any of the food into his maw. The substance is disgusting. It’s far past the natural point of being edible, but for them this is the best they can get.

Sugar shakes as his bones reject the apples. He can’t sit still as he eats, otherwise everything he’s worked so hard to keep down will come back up. The sound of rotten food being forced down terrifies Spinel. The gross noise fills his mind as he can only watch his brother try to survive. He himself can’t help but gag slightly as the stomach churning scene unfolds. Suddenly, Sugar jolts forward with a hand over mouth and ribcage. His skeletal face glows into a putrid, unnatural color.

But he keeps eating.

Hmm I’m thinking of changing my posting times for ao3

I’ve been updating on Fridays, but I’ve found that my work gets buried under the tags. So I’m thinking 12:00 Wednesday or Thursday? I’m open to suggestions

[bittersweet-goods]

Started working on coloring today but pains are forcing me to rest (っ◞‸◟ c)

[bittersweet-goods]

Sans from my AU under eternal winter!! Some fun facts about him and lore:

The constellation that represents him is the Lepus (or the Hare constellation)

He's in the stage 3 of the crystal disease: opal crystals are growing inside his bones and skull, like a geode

He's blind in the right eye

Also needs to use a cane for support, it's made with his magic!

Sans wants to stop the Anomaly at all costs and save his brother, even if it make him distant from Paps (... and it does)

Is slowly losing his mind, but is in denial

His left eye is always glowing because of his condition

In my AU he is the antagonist, he tries to manipulate Frisk to give their soul to the Singularity help him save the Underground!

The lore of under eternal winter:

[ In this universe, the Core has exploded long ago, and an singularity, in the surface knows as a dark hole, appeared in it place, consuming monster souls, warm and magic. During decades, a harsh winter transformed the Underground in a desert of ice and snow, the monsters have the crystal disease: shining crystals consume their bodies, painfully, until their soul collapse and no hope is left. Magic can slow the effects of the disease, but only a soul with determination and hope can survive the infection and enter the Singularity... and destroy it. ]
