Long ago, there was a war between humans and monsters. In the end - by the power of seven human mages - monsterkind was sealed behind a Barrier underneath Mount Ebott, sentenced to become little more than scary stories and Dust by the humans of that era. Monsterkind struggled to survive, but found a way as they clung to their hopes and dreams, the King and Queen of monsters at the forefront and keeping their people alive. A strange unfamiliar Home leading to a more secure New Home being made in this Underground.

Some time after that long ago, a Prince of the Underground was born, and the positive things that make up monsters swelled in gladness and strength.

Not very long ago, the Prince discovered and helped another SOUL unlike any other in this relatively new realm, one who was also forsaken by the Surface. A human, who was adopted into the royal family as a new Princess of the Underground. Together the two represented everyone’s hopes and dreams that monsterkind and humankind could one day co-exist again. And these children had the DETERMINATION to match…

Not at all long ago, it was by humans on the Surface that these children Fell. Blood and Dust upon flower petals, horror and despair upon monsterkind, devastating personal heartbreak on the King and Queen.

It was not long ago that the Rulers of the Underground were forever changed.

In this not long ago, drowning in grief and soul-wrenching pain, the King was filled with rage. He declared monsters would show that same “MERCY” upon any humans who fell into the Underground from then on. That he would use their SOULs to break the Barrier and exact the same sentence on any other humans they needed to FIGHT when they would eventually leave the Underground. He had to SAVE his people from the humans who wouldn’t SPARE a thought for his kind.

(After all, all they could do was CONTINUE.)

(Even if his strength was an ACT.)

In this not long ago, drowning in grief and soul-wrenching pain, the Queen was filled with disgust. She left New Home without a word, taking some of her son’s Dust and secreting her daughter’s body with her away from this empty palace. Fleeing to the barren Ruins of what was once been Home in more than one sense of the world, she re-established herself in a place of happier days and left behind any thoughts of getting to the Surface altogether. She had to SAVE any humans who may fall from the rest of the monsters who wouldn’t SPARE a thought for them.

(It was the closest there was to a RESET.)

(Even if her peace was an ACT.)

In the aftermath of this not long ago, the Underground had lost their Princess, their Prince, and their Queen in one fell swoop. And so - though a harrowed king, a childless father, and an abandoned husband - it fell upon King Asgore to shoulder the massive undertaking of upholding the Underground’s tremulous hopes and dreams. And yet...

Before what was ‘long ago,’ humans and monsters had once been friends rather than enemies. Asgore among them. Once, he himself had cared for a human child as his own. Once, there had been love, with LOVE being a grim last resort.

Despite everything, he was still Asgore.

Before long, more humans fell...

Been sitting on this idea for a while now...

Went in blind playing Undertale last summer with my husband and the UT brainrot has not gone away since haha! So, here it is, my own Undertale AU!

In the cannon story it's implied that Asgore had been directly responsible for at least some if not all of the previously fallen humans deaths, claiming their souls all for the sake of breaking the barrier and freeing monsterkind from the Underground. The intriguing and heartbreaking thing though is that Asgore obviously didn't want to do this. He admits as much when Toriel called him out for not taking the first human soul to cross the barrier and collect 6 others. It's clear in how he pulls away from Frisk at their first meeting and then in how gently yet insistently he implores Frisk not to fight him but instead live and enjoy whatever could be within this limited world. And of course, how he had long ago taken in Chara - the first human to have ever fallen in the Underground since monsterkind's banishment by the humans - as his own child. Asgore did not want to do this. But as the King of Monsters, having decreed in the throws of anger and grief that all humans who fell into his domain would be killed with his subjects echoing his words, he had to.

...but what if he hadn't? What if this loving Bossmonster - though a harrowed king, a childless father, and an abandoned husband - had found it within himself to extend mercy and hope once again rather than sink in sorrow?

And then more humans fall.

When monserkind applies his extermination order and won't hear a recall, Asgore finds himself in a race against the rest of the Underground to get to the humans first, one by one. But unbeknownst to anyone else, from the capital to the Ruins, it's not simply to spare someone else from the task, or to take their souls. But rather to take them home. New Home in fact, with him. That perhaps together, there's another way to bypass the barrier that doesn't call for any death. A way built on hopes and dreams.

The title of this AU is still a work-in-progress. I want to include some variation of "caretaker" with Undertale for it considering Asgore's role, but Caretale sounds too much like a carebear spin-off lol. So! My tentitive title is the Undertaker AU. If you have an idea for a more fitting title, let me know!
