Countdown to Christmas #24

Day 24 “Christmas Eve”

It was chaos

It was pure unfiltered chaos and it was beautiful

No expectations, no jealous stares, only laughter, clear and pure as the night went on and their friends celebrated each other

It was a little awkward at first, but things worked out alright, what with Papyrus’s unbridled enthusiasm keeping him from simply handing over the presents and instead opening them then giving them away to their respective owners

With Alphys’s awkward shows of affection and unparalleled people-watching skills making them one of the best gift givers of the night

Sans’s meaningful and more than a little funny certificate for cooking classes and books for every subject under the sun, 101 spaghetti recipes for Papyrus, Manga for Alphys, another joke book for Toriel and a scrapbook for Frisk, they appreciated the fact that he knew Frisk would want to document these memories

Undyne was more than a little too passionate with her gift giving, giving everyone a bit of exercise while chasing after them with what could best be described as “home cooking” (although even that might be a bit of a stretch), once they sat down and received Undyne’s intended gifts they were of course, touched, and more than a little awestruck at the amount of time and effort it must have taken to make a full set of armor that fit them.

Toriel presented many gifts, but the best one had been the adoption papers clearly signed at the top of the mantle

Gyftmas eve was chaos

But they wouldn't have it any other way

Day #23 “Christmas Shopping part 2”

It was so hard, figuring out things monsters would appreciate

This was one, of the many many things she did not miss in her self imposed exile, the expectations and consequent frustrations of finding gifts for those she cared about

Receiving gifts was a struggle in and of itself though, trying to muster the appropriate reaction even if you didn't really like the gift all that much, just so that they didn't feel hurt or underappreciated

It was exhausting

One thing that was good in the Ruins, was that, even if the walls were falling down around her, and there was always a little bit of purple dust that had to be swept away, was the isolation. Don't get her wrong! The boredom was crushing sometimes, but it was freeing in a way, having no one around who would care if you belted out to the songs in your mind and told jokes to a door

But she would really rather not be anywhere but here, watching her child, monster kind’s savior bounce around from store to store like an easily distracted bee, always smiling, always so curious about the world around them

She might not be ready for the expectations that came from being around people, but she was willing to try

And that had to be enough

Day 22 “Ugly Christmas sweater”

It was for him

The abomination that made up the sweater was for him

The seizure-inducing neon monstrosity of a sweater was for him

And he was supposed to wear it

…

He did what any rational person and/or monster would do

…

He sucked it up and wore it.

Not because he liked it

But because his brother did

And seeing him smile might make all those hospital trips he would cause the moment he walked outside worth it

Christmas Countdown #21

Day 21 “School’s out”

Frisk knew the teacher was just doing their job, and they respected them for it.

But would anyone really care if they left five minutes early?

No one was even looking at the board anymore, all eyes (Frisk’s included) captivated as the minute hand crept ever so slowly to the position that would release them from the mind numbing boredom they had endured the past semester.

Closer

*BRIINGG*

The final bell still shocked them even though they had been expecting it. The teacher’s farewells and “Happy Holidays, be safe out there!” was drowned out in the furious stampede the students became in their rush to get out.

After Frisk fought to the front of the mob they ran straight to where they knew Asgore would be waiting, screaming “DAD!” enthusiastically while climbing into the front seat

“Howdy Frisk, let’s get you home before Toriel starts thinking I took you out to eat again”

It was nice, knowing people (monsters?) cared about them enough to argue over the merits of a fast-food meal, one side arguing it was a good incentive, and the other stating it would become an unsightly habit.

Frisk was happy

And even happier they didn't have to look back at the steadily getting smaller building for a couple of weeks.

#2020 advent ficlet challenge #undertale #4 more days to go!!#im so tired ;-;

Countdown to Christmas #20

Day 20 “Let nothing you dismay”

Frisk didn't know what to do

First Papyrus was hurt and they considered loading their save file before deciding it wasn't worth the hassle of explaining to him why it was a bad idea he go to work that day

Then, three weeks after their choice Sans Fell Down

It wasn't that much of a shock if they were being honest

They were surprised it had taken him this long

Shrugging their shoulders they opened up the menu and finally hit the button that would get him back

It wasn't that big a deal

They had done this before after all

#2020 advent ficlet challenge #undertale #nothing shakes this small child anymore #kinda sad actually #back to short posts #WHOO 20 chapters???#i thought i would only make like 3 #but i had to bully myself into doing this one so maybe it i was still right

Countdown to Christmas #19

Day 19 “Hope”

He shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning.

He had been having a pretty great month so far, so of course, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened.

The day had started out pretty great, which should have set off warning bells in his head because if there was one thing the universe loved reminding him of, it was that no matter what he did, what he said or how he felt, he was always, first and foremost, a puppet.

A toy to be strung around and played with.

He had made his peace with that a long time ago.

But he had forgotten his brother was a puppet too.

(.9 HP *The easiest enemy, just get it over with)

~o0o~

It was a rough but necessary wake-up call when Papyrus had his “accident”

They couldn't even call it what it was, they didn't tell the story of how Papyrus never fought back, of how his brother did everything in his power to stop the unfolding massacre from happening.

And when it became clear they wouldn’t stop?

He took the bullet meant for the human.

(.85 HP *It should’ve been him, can you tell Papyrus he’s sorry?)

~o0o~

Things had just gone downhill from there.

Not even noon yet and he was sitting in a hospital waiting room waiting to hear news of his brother’s condition.

He barely made it through the first time he sat here on a day not unlike this one.

He hoped it wouldn't become a regular occurrence

(.76 HP *Lost in the past… Just let him be)

~o0o~

His friends came and went, all of them offering their condolences.

He didn't get why though.

Papyrus wasn’t dead, any moment he would get up from his extended sleep and yell at him for leaving the sock on the floor, just like always…

(.50 HP *Just wants to hear his brother’s voice)

~o0o~

They said he had gone into a coma

They said it was good! That way he could heal undisturbed.

They didn't know when he would wake up though

(.49 HP *Feels terrible, hasn’t left his brother’s side in a week, best to leave him alone)

~o0o~

His friends had been calling constantly

Up until his battery ran out

Then he couldn't hear them anymore

He probably should leave and get a charger

But he doesn't want Papyrus to be alone

(.34 HP *guiltyguiltygUILTYGUILTYGUILTYGUILTYGUILTYGUILTY)

~o0o~

“You should eat, get some meat on those bones!”

Undyne waited with baited breath to see if a familiar joke would get some response from the small skeleton sitting across her. She managed to stop the disappointment from showing on her face though.

That was good, he didn't need the burden of trying to look happy right now, not when he was so close to Falling Down.

If they had waited another few days to visit she and Alphys would have probably been met with a pile of dust next to Papyrus’s deceptively peaceful form.

They still couldn't get him to leave his side, though at least they had managed to stabilize his rapidly declining HoPe.

Whenever they tried taking him away his HP would drop a few points and his breath would come in quick short bursts.

Needless to say they left him where he was after that

(.30 HP *Papyrus will wake up at any moment and he wants to be here for it)

~o0o~

People kept on coming in and out.

At some point they tried to move him but they gave up after he made a fuss.

They shouldn’t be worrying about him

Papyrus is more important

And he is so close to waking, feels it all the way in his soul

He doesn't want him to feel lonely if when he wakes up.

He stays a bit longer.

(.28 HP *Wants to let go, Papyrus won’t let him)

~o0o~

He’s sinking

(.27)

He doesn't know why but it feels… Wrong?

(.26)

He’s not supposed to be here

(.25)

Someone would be very sad if he were to sink any deeper

(.25)

He doesn't have the strength to swim up though

(.2)

He’s comfortable here

(.19)

Why would he want to leave?

(.18)

“~ns this isn't funn~” a whisper breaks through the silence

(.17)

He feels like he’s supposed to know who the voice belongs to…

(.16)

But he’s so tired

(.12)

“~ROTHER! SANS please~”

(.09)

That voice is important

That voice is important and it frustrates him that he can't remember

So he tries chasing the voice instead

His arms are numb

His throat is too tight and he can't breathe

His soul is crying out for air and the surface seems so far away, would it be better to let go? To sink into the void’s comforting embrace?

(.01)

“~ANS PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME? Don't fall down please”

Sans gives one last push his brothers tear-stained face the last thing he sees before he sinks into unconsciousness.

Day 18 “what are you doing?” “Hiding from the carolers”

She was having a nice time, she was having a fantastic time, the only thing that could make this day any better was if sans would “just FUCKING GET OUT FROM UNDER THE TREE ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC”

“why? this is my safe spot”

“And why do you need a safe spot? If I may ask”

“because i don’t feel safe?”

Alphys dragged in a long, shuddering breath, wishing against all hope that this would be (if not the first, at least the last) time she asked her weird friend.

“What are you doing?”

He looked around, as if checking for something. But what could possibly disturb him out of his (sometimes) disturbingly calm mask of indifference?

He stayed quiet for a few minutes before whispering softly, “im hiding from the carolers”

Christmas Countdown #17

Day #17 “Dashing through the snow”

Off they went, smiling and laughing and boasting about their own prowess.

It was cathartic really, seeing the duet (now turned trio) of unstoppable destruction and overwhelming positivity.

Although he wasn't without his concerns, it gave him hope, seeing how a trio of, not broken, just bent individuals enjoying each other's company, and causing a ruckus for anyone unfortunate enough to be within hearing distance.

It had been a long road, but he was glad to see them frolic in the snow, stress and anxieties left behind the moment they laid eyes on each other.

His brother really was cool, wasn't he?

Always being a ray of sun in an otherwise cloudy day, and finding other bright stars with which to share his life with.

Undyne was brash, impulsive and immovable like a brick wall. But once you got through the stern face and unforgiving stance she was incredibly passionate, incredibly hot-headed and incredibly loyal.

He couldnt imagine a better friend for his brother.

The kid was…

Determined, for lack of a better word.

It sometimes got them into trouble, what with the burning curiosity and the unending desire to know, but in the end they wouldn't give up. And that was good enough for him.

He turned with one last glance to the now collapsed mound of laughter that made up some of the most important people in his life, and he started walking with a familiar smile on his face.

There was a couch calling his name at home.

#2020 advent ficlet challenge #undertale #do you have any idea #how HARD IT IS #to find a satisfying ending #that doesnt seem lie ship fuel?#i could have ended wiith #there was a pie waiting for him at home #but that would seem like he and toriel are in a relationship #or i could have ended with #The fire was begging for him to lie down in it #but that would seem like grillby #instead of him sleeping in the fireplace like i wanted to do #i am FRUSTRATED

Christmas Countdown #15

Day 15 “Storm”

It was really pouring down outside, she and Undyne had barely been able to make the five minute walk to the brothers house with limited visibility, barely even able to make out what was standing two feet away without immediately slamming into it.

(She was ashamed to admit she had walked into almost every pole on the way here, Undyne had walked into the remaining ones in a vain attempt to save her)

Though all their painstakingly thought out plans for the day were ruined, there was a certain beauty in the slow falling flakes of snow, stacking up and up with a relentless fury, a single minded drive to reach back towards the heavens, back to where they came from.

…

She really should leave the philosophy to Sans and stick with what she knew best.

Which at the moment seemed to be fixing the TV for the umpteenth time as everyone else stood around her anxiously awaiting the verdict, Would they finally have to pay for a new TV?

“Best not keep them waiting”, she sighed to herself.

“It's good”, she said for the benefit of everyone not privy to her thoughts.

She hurried to finish her sentence before their loud cheers drowned her out, “but it won't be able to take another spaghetti bath, so please keep the kitchen explosions to a minimum?”

“my tv and my wallet could not survive more exposure to your explosive friendship, so please keep the cooking expeditions to a minimum, or even better do it at your house”

No one dared argue at sans rare display of aggression, and soon Alphys was once again captivated by the relentless ‘thump, thump’ of the falling snow hitting the window. It reminded her of another flood of falling objects in a place now far, far away...

#2020 advent ficlet challenge #undertale #undyne and papyrus bring destruction everywhere they go #only the good kind though #like #im SURE #that man deserved to be knocked out by the flying bat #and that window was just in the way anyway #and the tv only played mettaton anymore #so it needed a spaghetti bath #obiously #sans wallet gets emptier every day #this is the real reason why he works like seven jobs at the same time #he cant afford not to

Christmas Countdown #14

Day 14 “Candle”

It was getting worse, he decided, smelling what seemed like the fiftieth candle this hour.

“i can't do this anymore”

All eyes turned to him as he admitted defeat in front of his friends and family.

“I can't feel my nose and it’s bad since im a skeleton, i don't even have a nose”

“Oh thank dog” was heard all throughout the store as four people immediately put down the candles they had been working up the courage to smell

“please, never let me volunteer for anything ever again”

Everyone muttered their agreement as they walked out, single-file, heads bowed, of the ‘world’s strongest candle sniffer contest’

#2020 advent ficlet challenge #undertale #Shit prompt #it happened again #i hate this #just going to post this then bleach my mind'#good bye

Christmas Countdown #13

Day #13 “Christmas Shopping”

“no,”Sans stared in disbelief and growing horror at the monstrosity of a Christmas sweater Papyrus had dug out of the clothes rack. It was so neon that it left an afterimage long after he had looked away, and to add insult to injury, it had colorful LED lights that flashed so fast it was a seizure waiting to happen. How this had gotten approved for sale was anyone’s guess, and why Papyrus thought it was a good “ugly” Christmas sweater was even more of an enigma.

“that isn't ugly, it's a glowing abomination that deserves to be burned, preferably before someone dies”

“YOU ARE JUST BEING DRAMATIC! IT IS NOT THAT BAD”

“i'm not, i would be doing society a favor by locking it in a crate and sending it on a one way mission to the sun”

. . .

“weren't we supposed to be looking for something?”

“OH YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT” Papyrus muttered while frantically looking in his bag, oblivious the many inquisitive stares as the tall monster got progressively more frustrated before exclaiming, “FOUND IT” and unrolling a three meter long scroll of paper, promptly named ‘To-Do’

“FIRST WE HAVE TO VISIT A SHOPPING STORE TO BUY FRiSK A NEW JACKET, THEY HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT NEEDING ONE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, AFTER MAYBE WE COULD STOP BY A GAME STOP FOR AN ANIME FIGURE FOR ALPHYS? WHERE WOULD YOU EVEN FIND SUCH A THING? OR WE COULD STOP BY A SPORTS STORE TO BUY UNDYNE SOME NEW BOOTS? Although maybe she too would appreciate a jacket…”

Sans smiled fondly at his brother's antics before opening his own, considerably smaller, but no less thoughtful list of things to find. There across the top in the number one place of priority was

“Get Papyrus some cooking lessons”

Day 12 ‘’Love”

What is love?

Depending on who you ask love can mean many different things.

Love can be when you care for someone so much you would be willing to sit through countless ramen bowls and anime marathons just to see the way their smile lit up the room.

Love can be annoying your brother with bad jokes and even worse puns because, though he might deny this, they made him happy.

Love could even be making a promise to a lady behind a door because they cheered you up when you felt like there was no point to life anymore.

But love could also be a red line on a white canvas.

A melting puddle surrounded by rocks and waterfalls.

A retreating figure in a golden hall

...

"i'm going to go take a nap, all this arguing has made me bone-tired"

Countdown to Christmas #11

Day 11 “Making a list”

“SANS TRADITIONALLY IT IS THE HUMAN CHILDREN WHO MAKE LETTERS TO THIS ‘SANTA’ FELLOW”

“so you can write a letter but i can't?”

“THAT IS NOT THE POINT AND YOU KNOW IT!”

“please, enlighten me. why are you allowed to send a list of demands to an old hermit who exploits short people for labor, but i'm not allowed to ask for a frankly very reasonable industrial sized bottle of ketchup?”

“THIS IS EXACTLY WHY YOU CANNOT MAKE A LETTER TO SANTA! KNOWING YOU, YOU’D PROBABLY KEEP ASKING FOR KETCHUP, OR DOG FORBID BOTTLES OF GRILLBY’S FIRE WHISKEY. I DON’T PLAN ON DEALING WITH YOUR CLINGY HANGOVERS ON CHRISTMAS”

Frisk and Toriel watch the increasingly silly argument between siblings with smiles on their faces, originally Frisk had been dropped at the skelebro’s house while Toriel went grocery shopping (Asgore was no longer to be trusted)

Everything had started out fine, but like every night Frisk had spent in the skeletons home, things quickly went downhill in incredibly exasperating and hilarious ways, case in point? This moment.

“MAYBE IF YOU BOTHERED TO AT LEAST TRY TO BE UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMANS STRANGE TRADITIONS…”

“yes, like the day in october they promote skeleton nudity?”

“OK SO THAT ONE WAS A LITTLE WEIRD BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT! ACCORDING TO THE HUMAN MOVIES ‘CHRISTMAS’ IS ABOUT FAMILY! AND LOVE! AND”

So Sans’s grin got a bit tight at the mention of love but that was to be expected, all things considered.

Frisk had just brought up a tradition among some children of the surface, that of writing letters to Santa and now a passive aggressive battle was blooming right in front of their very eyes.

Maybe they should ask for a family counselor instead...
