History Webcomic / InvertedFate

* InsistentTerminology: A meta example. This AU is often confused for Underswap, which is Undertale but with all of the roles reversed. As it turns out, that's the only similarity it has to Inverted Fate.

* SuddenlyVoiced: While Frisk was a SilentProtagonist in ''Undertale'', here they have full-fledged dialogue and interactions with the other characters, developing the personality that was implied in the original game and giving them more traits, not being under the control of an external player anymore.

* ShoutOut: From the RP blog:

* AnotherDimension: [[MadScientist Papyrus]] actually ''created one'' for Sans in order to toss his sock collection. Sans being [[TheSlacker Sans]] he never uses it. [[spoilers: At least, not for socks...]]

As a result of this, changes are seen such as the Ruins becoming a lively garden open to all monsters under Asgore's care, Papyrus becoming the eager lab assistant of the now MadScientist Undyne, Sans successfully becoming one of the elites of the Royal Guard despite his utter laziness, the Underground as a whole taking on a much more warry disposition against humanity, and Frisk taking on an active role on the events of the story now that they're not bound by the control of a player anymore.

''Inverted Fate'' is uploaded [[http://invertedfate.tumblr.com/ on the blog of the same name]].

** [[spoiler: WordOfGod confirms that Genocide will have ''six'' major fights instead of the usual two]].

* CallForward: After [[spoiler: Frisk kills Asgore Flowey asks them "Do you think you're above consequences?" This quote is a mirror of what Chara says at the end of a Genocide route.]]
* FissionMailed: There appears to be no way for Frisk to [[spoiler: spare Asgore without killing him first. They had to reset to save him.]]

* PaperThinDisguise: Papyrus presents himself to Frisk as ''"A PERFECTLY NORMAL HUMAN BEING!"'' by just wearing a set of goofy glasses; Frisk is confused at first, but then decides to play along with him to make him happy. Later on, when battling against Doggo, Dogamy and Dogaressa, Papyrus pulls out this brilliant human disguise once more to confuse them. It somehow works.

* ScarfOfAsskicking: Inverted with Sans, who wears an absolutely non-threatening nor awe-inspiring stripped blue winter scarf. He's shown wearing it while using his "battle body" and even with his actual Royal Guard uniform.

With a style that mixing sprite work in the style of the original game with the occassional drawn comic, the story follows the events of the True Pacifist route on the original game, but assuming that [[TheBadGuyWins Flowey was successful in his plan of resetting the timeline]], though not exactly as he expected. Waking up with his memories but with none of the powers he had by the end of True Pacifist, his meddling unintendedly created a new world in which the roles of the six main monsters have been changed, bringing with it some significant changes to the Underworld.

* TheBadGuyWins: The events of ''Inverted Fate'' are kicked off by Flowey successfuly overcoming Frisk and resetting the timeline. However, it doesn't work out too well for him, and he ends up without his godlike powers on an unknown timeline.

While taking inspiration from other role swap fan works like ''Fanfic/{{Storyshift}}'', ''Inverted Fate'' takes a different approach to its role swaps by only shifting the roles of the six main monsters while keeping them true to their original character; and shifting its focus from sticking from the original events of ''Undertale'' with different characters in other's shoes, to showing the consequences that changing the roles of these wildly different main characters can have on the other characters, the world, and the story as a whole, all while the original events remain on the horizon.

* PlayerParty: Unlike in canon Undertale, Papyrus can assist Frisk in battle, and is following around.

* HistoricalVillianUpgrade: In universe. Monsters seem to have a far more negative view of Chara than in canon.

* InTheHood: As the overlooker of the Ruins, Asgore wears a purple robe with a hood, complete with hole for his horns. It's more of a fashion choice than anything practical, as it doesn't really conceal anything, but he does note that it might make him look unintentionally intimidating when he first meets Frisk.
