Recently read @velvetwyrme and @collegecomics18 's "Flipping Fate" fic and it has scratched my itch for tragedy fluff. Is that a thing? I dunno, i guess i just really love interpretations of UF!Papyrus where it's like, he *could* have been just as heroic and good as UT!Papyrus (cuz they're the same sorta, fundamentally) but his world shaped him in such a way that he had to recreate himself as mean/evil just to survive. The tragedy of someone having to not only crush who they are to keep themselves or loved ones safe, then also having to deal with the consequences of that choice. (Which include seeing yourself how you *could* have been if you never had to make that life changing choice in the first place.)
The fluff part is him getting to be in a place where he can now be what and who he wants to be (which is hard and scary but also beautiful). And honestly isn't that the kind of fluff everyone wants? To live in a world where you don't have to pretend to be what you're not because it's "safer", but instead getting to be who you are and be accepted.
This was meant to be a post to wax poetic about an UF!Papyrus fic but it turned philosophical. Anyway, the fic is good, aches so good, check it out.
