A lot of the fandom being obsessed with theories on who he is and piecing together his lore, sinking their teeth into everything about him as breadcrumbs are set out for us to follow.
Years later(?) Gaster becomes obsessed in his experiments of being able to contact us and creating an entire story just to have the equivalent of an eldritch multidimensional being be put in a rat maze.
The player falling for it hook, line & sinker as they thirst for the same thing as Gaster does. Complete parallels to each other on opposite yet same sides. The methods of finding information being stark contrasts to each other.
If I didn’t already have several fics to work on, I’d be playing around with a Reader x Still-in-the-void Gaster.
Imagine your coworkers pull some bullshit at work and you look over at your invisible-to-everyone-but-you-boyfriend and he’s signing “I can make the lights flicker and turn the radio into static again” and you’re like well that won’t really help but thank you?
"You deserve to be happy" with UT Gaster? Or if you don't feel like writing for Gaster, maybe UT Sans?
Tada!
Here it is :)
I hope you liked it! I had so much fun writing it! Funnily enough, I wrote it while I was getting food on my phone -w-
Gaster knew he wasn't a good person.
He didn't deserve a lot of things that happened to him, unless they were bad. That's why he didn't care much for himself. Staying awake, pushing himself. Everything he did, he did for the good of monster kind.
Even creating his own sons.
At first, they were just test subjects. Why would he care about them? They were created from his bones, his body, they weren't his children though.
That was until they were.
They showed him a kindness that he never expected, more Papyrus, though Sans did too.
He and Sans never quite got along. Gaster understood why. He didn't blame the smaller skeleton for hating him.
He would too.
After everything he put those boys through, he would do anything to take it back. Give them a happy beginning.
He can't do that though.
The best he can do, is give them a happy ending.
He could get them out of the underground! He was sure of it he needed to do it! He was the head scientist. Asgore trusted him. That trust could not be misused.
After all he did, he must use his time to get them out! Out out out.
That's all he wanted! All he needed.
That was... What he first thought, at least.
Until he met them.
Y/n.
Not a very amazing monster. Not the strongest, not the bravest, and not the nicest.
They weren't even all that interesting to him! So... Why must he think of them so often? Clouding his mind, deafening him with their laughter. Blinding him with their smiles.
Y/n was a monster he hired to watch after Sans and Papyrus while he was working. Asgore couldn't, he was the king. Grillby was someone but... No.
Y/n was kind. Sweet. Papyrus loved them and even Sans warmed up to them. More often than he would like to admit, he came home to see the small babybones asleep on them. They would just laugh.
He would have gotten annoyed.
Too different.
They were too different for each other.
He shouldn't love them.
No, he COULDN'T love them.
They deserved so much better than he could ever give.
That was why he fired them.
He didn't care if the boys got sad. They would meet more people they like above ground. They would forget Y/n soon enough.
He hoped at least.
Sadly, Gaster should have been more worried about himself. In his sleepy hazes, he often saw them. Felt them against his bones, felt their hands, their kisses.
Felt his own loneliness when he realized... He was alone. In a cold lab.
He didn't like it.
It's what was deserved though. So, he would deal with it.
It was another day.
Another sleepless night.
Another day of endless work.
Another day of seeing the fake shape of the one he pushed away...
"Gaster"
He tenses at the voice, causing his eye socket to snap open. Only one really worked nowadays. There had never been a voice before.
He kept his head down, staring at the words he had been writing. So many books, so many pages...
"Yes?" He turns his head slightly to look over at them. They had a sleeping Papyrus and a very grumpy looking Sans in their arms. Sans had his little arms crossed, his eyes squinted in sleepy annoyance.
"Your boys came to me... Said you haven't been resting, is that true?"
His boys? He stares at the two babybones, and sighs. "I have not done anything I haven't before," he says, his voice betraying him, laced with tiredness. He was very tired.
"You need to sleep" They insisted, "you sound like you're going to fall out"
Gaster sighs, shaking his head. "No, I can't sleep," He says, rubbing at his temples. "I need to finish these projects, if I don't then it won't be done" yes, that's... that's expected Gaster, he thought to himself bitterly.
"but-" Y/n started to say, which Gaster slams his hands down to, onto the table with a bang "I said no!" he snaps, turning his head quickly with a slight glare in his eyes yet... pauses.
Papyrus woke up, flinching from the sound and hides his face into Y/n's chest, clenching onto their shirt, Sans flinching too, the sour look appearing more.
Y/n didn't flinch.
They were just staring at him, not looking impressed "Are you done shouting at me?" they asked, annoyance lacing their own tone.
"I..." he shuts his mouth, turning his head down, and sighs rubbing his hands over his face. "Damn it." He felt so tired. Of everything.
Y/n sighs, shaking their head, and slowly walks over "you need to rest"
"I don't need to do that, I need to finish this, I don't..."
They smile and nudge their head against his skull lightly, something that his boys most likely did to them, and says “You deserve to rest”
He deserved it?
Did they... “you deserve to be happy” They kept saying.
He felt like he was going to cry, his soul skipping in his chest and he looks over his shoulder, seeing them. His babybones looking at him, Y/n looking at him, making him sigh out slowly and nods “R...Right” He mumbles and stands up.
He deserves to be happy, huh?
He would... he'd tell them later on that he liked them. It'll be... enjoyable.
Take your time, But may I have a USwap!Gaster and a UT!Gaster seeing their crush(reader) singing like a angel while dancing for fun, without the reader knowing?
Take your time!
I have decided to make it so Goopy talks in rhymes! The reason I did that, was because well... The River person talks a little strange with that tra lala thing and I decided to give him something too :)
Goopy: When he came in, he had just gotten finished on one of his trips. Being the river person was very fun but also, quite tiring. So, seeing his datemate just enjoying themselves and dancing around like that? He smiles turning his head to the side, resting his skull against the wall listening to them singing their songs. "I am not normally one for praising but, I must say, that that was quite amazing." he laughs softly seeing them jolt, and turn quickly to look at him, their cheeks a deep color "G-Goopy? What are you doing here?" His eyes, which were two different colors, sparkle with amusement "I did not mean to give you a fright, I had a bit of delight hearing you sing like that" he walks over, putting his hands against their hips, and nuzzling them, purring happily, "I think you sound amazing when you sing like that, Y/n"
Gaster: He was stressed from work at the core, so when he came in to see his datemate enjoying themselves and dancing around, he couldn't help himself but smile. Against all odds, he had finally gotten a datemate and they were such a cute and sweet person… he watched for a little, then started to hum along to the song which was enough for them to realize, which makes his own cheeks flush with his magic and he turns his head away, signing with the magic hands "I believe that… you are an amazing singer, Y/n" he looks back at you with a relaxed, and honestly a bit shy, smile.
Could I maybe go to the carnival with Gaster, please? -Jess
"I cannot believe you," you say, your arms crossed in front of your chest, sitting on the edge of the road, frowning.
"How was I supposed to know that they wouldn't like you using your magic to win at the games?" he asked, his fingers quickly signing the words. "There were no signs"
"Common sense! Gaster, humans don't have magic anymore"
"well I do not see how that is my problem" he crosses his arms over his chest, looking forward huffing softly.
At least you guys still got to ride on all the rides and play a lot of games... you got to keep the plushies but you were kicked out. Gaster was using his magic to knock things down.
