I know that everybody has made Linda the ‘villain’ of the PTA Sans AU but please consider:
Linda being resistant to her new monster neighbors at first and attempting to change them into something more ‘humanized’ and ‘normal’, thinking she’s doing them a favor, but actually learning to accept them as they are when they accept her for who she is.
Sans and Linda starting off on the wrong foot and becoming ‘mortal enemies’ until they eventually get to learn more personal stuff about each other and why they do things that irritate each other.
The other moms (and dads) are afraid of Linda’s ability to ‘effortlessly’ handle everything. She’s also seen as bossy because of the way she takes control of most events and activities. Little do they know that she’s internally a nervous wreck from balancing so many things at once.
Linda might act like she never needs a shoulder to cry on, and she may appear unsympathetic to the problems of others, but imagine her leaping to her friends’ defense whenever they’re feeling down or being attacked.
Linda actually knows a few good puns and jokes, but she hides her sense of humor from most people because it was always considered ‘immature’ and ‘improper’ in her household. When Sans challenges her to a battle (of puns) Linda takes everyone off guard by unleashing some of the best plays on words that the room of parents has ever heard. Sans still wins, but it’s a hard-won victory.
Papyrus inviting Linda to one of Undyne’s cooking classes. Linda is mortified but kind of takes control in the kitchen, doing everything with a special touch! (Secretly she’s an amazing cook. It was her childhood dream to be a five star chef, but her dream was crushed, so she can really relate to Papyrus’ passion.) She politely encourages him to improve nonetheless and compliments Undyne’s teaching methods despite turning down their invitation to another class.
Frisk becoming friends with Linda’s children (who initially bully them) in the same way that they first befriended the monsters in the underground. Linda takes notice of this and starts to question her actions. Is it really right of her to allow her children to treat other children with little respect just because their upbringings and values don’t agree?
Linda and Sans still being lowkey competitive and passive aggressive because they still don’t completely agree with each other despite having a ‘truce’ (but it’s pretty chill after they kinda get to know each other?)
The other moms arrange a ‘mom’s night out’ and prefer to invite Sans over Linda because they all have some animosity towards her. Sans is fine with this at first, but Toriel convinces him to convince the other moms to invite Linda. They all end up going to the bar where Grillby works. After a few drinks, Linda is spilling her feelings everywhere and the night ends in several rounds of group hugs for each sobbing parent.
Linda developing into a better person than she was before because of her new monster neighbors.
