| 73 | * Another musical interpretation of the genocide route, this one takes a few more liberties with canon than others of its kind. It ends up providing a few new surprises and plot twists for those who are used to the original plot of the game, and is worth a listen for those who want a slightly different spin on the genocide route. |

| 82 | * Synopsis: A song that revolves around the concept that Frisk, Chara, and the other six human souls are a part of a singular consciousness called the Nexus. Frisk and the others were a random anomaly of nature meant to free the monsters. Now that their mission is complete, Frisk's determination is forcing them to collect all the other scattered souls in order to become full again and delete itself so as to prevent any other resets from ruining the happy ending. |
| 83 | * Comment(s): This is more of a unique battle theme and less of a leitmotif. Nothing here can describe the epic battle theme composed here, making it worthy of an endgame boss battle. |

| 101 | * Recommended by Lwoorl, {{Tropers/SergeantSqueaks}} |
| 102 | * Feralphoenix has written several undertale fanfics, among them her series ''you can only use your own'', with more than 200.000 words, is by far the longest, although she also has several shorter high quality stories that can go from taking place in a post-pacifist to a genocide run. Her stories focus mostly on Chara, Frisk, or Asriel, however, she has fics about other characters too. Her works can go from fluffy to really dark (or vice versa) easily, but most of them end with a hopeful ending. ''you can only use your own'' now has its own [[Fanfic/YouCanOnlyUseYourOwn trope page]]. |
| 103 | * Warnings: A lot of Charasriel, some weird fixations on menstruation and pregnancy, and some relationships are incredibly unhealthy. |

| 107 | * Possibly the most prolific writer in the Undertale fandom, MiniNephthys has written dozens of short fic about a variety of different characters and concepts presented in the game (a significant amount involve everyone's favorite skeletons). Take a look and you'll probably find something you like from their large collection of stories. |

| 111 | * Polyhexian has written some truly excellent character studies of both Frisk and Sans (although Chara has made an appearance in recent stories). They mostly involve dealing with the aftermath of Frisk's adventures in the underground. Warning for depictions of living with PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation. Despite the dark subject matter, each story ultimately conveys a hopeful tone in spite of everything. |

| 119 | * Author of a series called "Undershield" about the cast after the end of the game - specifically a Pacifist run where Frisk becomes the human-monster ambassador and stays with Toriel. Everything is believable and heartwarming, with funny mixed in where it fits. It's nice to see their interpretation of how everything would play out, and the progress of human-monster interactions is great. Very well done. |

Gaster, as well as several one shots further exploring their relationship, including a smaller, 3/4 complete story, The Dust in Integrity's Wake, detailing an adventure involving a particularly vicious human. All of their stories are extremely well-written, drawing on the game's lore as well as the author's research and personal experiences. |

| 148 | * Comments: A deconstruction of all of the [=PTAtale=] fics and comics floating around the web. The author states that they had noticed that the PTA Undertale often undermines three of the canon game's morals: Even the worst person can change, staying determined, diplomacy is the better path to resolving conflict. Frisk manages to stay true to themself in this fic and even manages to change someone's worldview. |

"Do you think that even the best person can change into something bad if everything is against them?" Spoilers for both Pacifist and Genocide route, a rather brutal and accusatory drabble. Don't be afraid to leave reviews or rebuttals. |
| 154 | * Comments: It's a very well-written fanfiction, one where Frisk yells at Sans in a way that readers wouldn't expect. Frisk is infuriated with the number of times they were killed in the Underground, as well as the number of humans that were killed prior to their fall. |

| 188 | * Comments: CourierNew dubbed this a 'non-canon' alternate sequel for his first Undertale fic, and I can kind of see why (mainly because if it were canon, it would've put a slight damper to the epilogue of "One by One"). Still, I'm also okay with seeing this as an actual continuation, especially when it's as excellently written as CourierNew's previous two Undertale works. He's really got a sense of the characters and how they'd interact, and it helps that he knows how to pack detailed imagery and so much emotion into his prose. We also get a more in-depth glimpse of what the monster's lives might be like after leaving the underground, which is always nice. And of course, expect quite some heart-wrenching. |

The meeting with each of the parents feels realistic and intense, each having their own unique outcome to having been told what happened to their children in the underground. Although considered not a part of the One by One canon, it does bring a bit of a closure to the character arc that Asgore has to go through as a result of having been consumed by his rage at humanity. It's intense near the end of the story and worth the read all the way through. |

| 203 | * [[Fanfic/UndertaleFanNovelization Now has its own tropes page]] |
| 204 | * ''Comments'': This fanfic is really well written. The fight sequences flow perfectly with the story and the author manages to make Frisk have a compelling backstory and slowly reveal it without outright telling the audience that [[spoiler: she was abandoned]]. It does take the time to get inside Frisk's head and shows how she feels about everything going on around her. Has extended or edited what happens in canon with certain monsters so that it gives an extra dimension to the monsters. |
| 205 | * Seconded, this story is well worth the read just for how the writer handles battles. |
| 206 | * Thirded, the story adds new parts to the story that give it a mysterious, suspenseful feel, as well as creates great tension. This includes Frisk having a dream of [[spoiler: killing Toriel which Flowey says actually happened later.]] It also makes Frisk feel like a scared, yet determined child, facing very trying odds and scary moments, but continuing forward despite her fear. Rather than going along with things as you do in the game, you feel worried for her and hope that things will improve for her. |

Now has a tropes page [[Fanfic/AnomalySeries here]]. |

| 212 | * Synopsis: It has been two years since Frisk left the Underground. Now, her life is functioning almost normally. She has a family (albeit a monster one) and is even happy. But nothing lasts forever in this world, and as a lost friend seems to come back and a twisted ideology rises to power one person will make the ultimate sacrifice to attempt to end the madness... |
| 213 | * Comments: This builds off of the prequel, Beyond Forgiveness, which postulates that Frisk takes Sans's soul and somehow manages to keep it after doing a reset. Although Beyond Forgiveness is quite well written, it isn't as thought-out as In At the Death, and the latter can be read without reading the former, although there may be some confusion. The [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Patriot party]] and its anti-monster attitude is something which I have only seen very rarely before in Undertale fanfics. Frisk and Asriel's brother-sister dynamic was actually quite cute, and the OC Caleb, one of Frisk and Asriel's friends, is a complex and multilayered character. Considering how he is initially portrayed as a friendly goofball, the shocking reversal when he [[spoiler: murders a Patriot by stomping on his head]] is all the more startling, yet somehow the author manages to pull it off. In At the Death also gets pretty dark, and at this point it doesn't appear it's going to have a completely happy ending considering [[spoiler: Asgore, Sans, and Papyrus]] are all dead. |

For one disturbed flower in particular, happily ever after is still far away; but that doesn't mean he must travel the long road to recovery alone. |
| 240 | * Comments: One of the first full-length Undertale fanfics to have ever been developed, WolvenOne has done a good job of creating a post-pacifist work and stays true to the characters personalities while expanding upon the universe.

| 259 | * Synopsis: A collection of stories focusing on building the world of Undertale. The first story focuses on an Original Character in an original story, a scholar who goes out searching for the truth behind Monsters before history sees it turn into nothing but myth. The second fic is a retelling of the Pacifist Run with the change that Frisk is on a second loop in a theoretically completed hard mode - and isn't just fighting for themself. The third fic sees the cast return to Ebott two years after the pacifist ending because of funny stuff happening. As they investigate, they see what happened if this timeline wasn't the one that won out. The fourth story sees Asgore and the story's original character track down the parents of the other children to apologize for the last of Ebott's Tragedy. Lastly, there's a side arc for slice of life and side stories. |
| 260 | * Tags: Original Characters, Original story - same 'Verse, canon divergence, retelling, heavy spoilers for all endings, crossing timelines, heavy headcanon. |
| 261 | * ''comments'': A surprisingly well-written first fanfic from the author, Onlooker has some rough edges but the other two stories show what they're capable of. Most of the collections' strength lay in the writer's ability to capture the essence of what makes Undertale with a bittersweet mood whiplash and accurately capturing each character's traits and personalities. Even if you dislike a story having an OC, they manage to be well written and believable with the perfect amount of interaction, not quite ever stealing the spotlight, but not being so irrelevant they may as well not be there [[spoiler: as well as a mild deconstruction as to the nature of original characters in a pre-existing story]]. |

| 284 | * Synopsis: “Nana,” said a familiar, but different, high-pitched voice. It took a moment for me to place which of Frisk’s many grandchildren it was, although nobody but them would call me “nana” - Prudence, I was pretty sure.Prudence’s tone and clipped speech were, however, gravely serious. My soul caught in my throat for a moment, and I worried (as mothers often do) what had happened. |
| 285 | “Whatever is the matter, dear?” There was a long pause at the other end, and then a sharp, almost silent gasp of breath that I realized was from Prudence crying, and then a voice shuddered out the words: “It’s about Frisk.” |

| 294 | * Comments: Absolutely wonderful, as if it's been ripped straight out of Undertale canon. The author really gets inside of Alphys' head... and Sans' too, somehow, even though it's not in his POV. If you ''ever'' wondered what Sans and Alphys thought of each other, this is the fic for you. |

The author is a bit rough but his writing is very detailed and enjoyable with plenty of mood-whiplash (as seen in the original game)with Mr_Welsh not skipping a beat between lighthearted and very dark moments with and quite a bit of humor (black or not) thrown in for good measure. Important OCs are eventually introduced but remain interesting characters that are connected to the world and fail to steal the spotlight off of canonical characters. Overall, a very good read which I would heartily recommend. Author updates once a day. |

| 404 | * Pairing(s): None |
| 405 | * Comments: As the summary implies, ''The Scientist'' is a prequel to the main game, exploring the origins of Sans, the Gaster Blasters and Doctor Gaster himself, detailing their attempts to study the human SOUL and its power to Reset, ultimately building up to the events that shattered Gaster across space and time. It's extremely well written; the interactions between Sans and [[spoiler:the fallen children]] are believable and heart-wrenching at times, the explanation for Sans's powers makes[[note]]enough[[/note]] sense and [[spoiler:Gaster's descent into Determination-fueled madness,]] accompanied by the looming ForegoneConclusion, adds an extra layer of tension and drama. It really feels like an official prequel at times, and is one of the best fanfics I've read in a long time. ''Entropy'' isn't finished yet, so no guarantees for it, but going by the chapters we currently have, it's just as good, with twists and turns and sensible explanations for things not covered in the original[[note]]Sans's teleportation coming from [[spoiler:him being affected by the same incident that killed Gaster,]] in particular, is an interesting, new idea that makes almost too much sense,[[/note]] and it all ties together spectacularly.

| 418 | * Synopsis: After taking advantage of a misunderstanding to become the Royal Scientist, Alphys realizes she can get anything she ever wanted in life by lying. But with every lie Alphys tells, she digs herself deeper into a hole. It will only be a matter of time before she is forced to reveal the truth—especially when her lies begin to concern the well-being of other monsters. |

| 454 | * Synopsis: Papyrus remembers things. He remembers being king of a desolate and empty underground. He remembers a house on the surface with a bright blue door and a bright red car.

It does a good job at expanding on theories and discussion about his lesser noticed, darker/stranger habits and lines and him possibly knowing more about the resets than he lets on. |

| 475 | * Synopsis: Dr. W. D. Gaster is the royal scientist, working directly under King Asgore. After the monsters are sealed underground he is presented with new challenges. Despite the King's disapproval, the good doctor decides to take matters into his own hands. This story starts from the very beginning of the monsters being sealed to beyond the true pacifist ending. It explores the idea of a rather rash, asshole scientist creating Sans and Papyrus via cloning and explores their lives together as a rather dysfunctional family from start to finish. |
| 476 | * Tags: Pre-canon (ch1-4), Timeline shenanigans, No Mercy/Genocide route spoilers, Pacifist route spoilers |
| 477 | * Comments: A very thorough and detailed interpretation of Gaster, the Skelebros and related pre-canon events that well integrates the various, scattered hints of their history from the game into a cohesive story and is equal parts heartwarming and heartbreaking. Also, Gaster's characterization in this is just hilarious and a blast to read. Note that the chapters are LONG (only 5 but just over 140,000 words for the entire fic). |

| 483 | * Tags: Fiction T - English - Sans, Gaster - Chapters: 20 - Words: 52,311 |
| 484 | * Comments: The story takes place before Frisk falls down the hole. A very smart story about how Sans has gained his knowledge about resets and how he got some of his abilities. It seems to be in sync with Undertale and is not that far fetched. I read it in one go. It is really good. P.S.: Sans and Papyrus are not related to W.D. Gaster and they are not clones. He is simply a colleague who becomes a friend. I personally enjoy stories like this more. |

| 504 | * Comments: A fantastic story involving Narrator Chara, with Chara herself being the fic's narrator as well. The interaction between her and Frisk is almost sisterly at points, and the characterization of both them and the other characters shines through beautifully. I really feel for Chara reading this and currently the fic's only up to meeting Sans and Papyrus. And if it's that good already, I can't wait to see where it goes as the narrative continues. |

The battle scenes are intricate and consuming, the dialogue is extremely well done, and the pacing is perfect. |

| 568 | * ''Synopsis:'' The experiment was simple in principle, and even if it hadn't worked as planned, it would have been a step in the right direction. But something went wrong; time and space turned inside out and upside down, and the best hope for monsters to escape the Underground went up in flames with half of the C.O.R.E. Facility. Years later, after the Barrier was finally shattered, that unplanned experiment bears unexpected fruit. And Royal Scientist Wing Ding Aster has a lot of catching up to do. |
| 569 | * Comments: Kicked off by the return of W.D. Gaster (known as "''Aster''" in the story), this story follows the lives of monsters in the small town of Ebott's Wake after the True Pacifist ending, dealing with political strife, science, FantasticRacism, insecurities, public radio, dark pasts, lots of "in-universe theorycrafting" as the tags say, and the naturally existing weirdness of the town. Starts off light, but quickly starts dipping into CerebusSyndrome-worthy material periodically. Note that the story contains several depictions graphic violence and abuse of several varieties. |
| 570 | * The author plans to write more stories in this universe. Thus far, these include [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12589344 Trick or Treat Kids]], a Halloween one-shot that takes place after the original story and heavily spoils it, and [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/12769791/chapters/29135340 Terra Incognita]], which takes place immediately after the True Pacifist ending and acts as a prequel to the original fic. |

| 577 | * Comments: A novelization of the game that does a great job expanding on some of the characters and surrounding lore, the biggest example being that the author takes Frisk and turns them into an actual character with a personality.

| 902 | * Comments: Highly recommended for anyone who likes stories where the main characters have both real strengths and real flaws; even though the characters can and do have their moments of weakness, the story never portrays them as "villains for villains' sake", but as complex people who occasionally make bad decisions. The subject matter does get a little heavy at points (particularly with regards to Chara and Asriel's codependent relationship, especially early on, as well as many characters' less-than-happy backstories), but it also has a general feeling of hope, especially given that many characters are SparedByTheAdaptation as a result of Asgore never declaring war on humans. This series also includes several clever references to in-game dialogue put into new contexts, and a number of little details [[RewatchBonus that may only be noticed on later readings]]. In general, give this one a try if you're at all open to the idea of Chara and Asriel as a couple. |

| 1004 | * Pairing(s): Female Frisk/Asriel, Alphys/Undyne, Asgore/Toriel |
| 1005 | * Comments: While the entire series is much larger, I found these few fics in particular to make up quite a well-written series showing the relationship start and evolve between Frisk and Asriel. The dialogue is mostly on point, with the interactions between the various characters quite charming, and I quite like how both Frisk and Asriel are characterised as they enter adulthood. The stories do have a few problems [[spoiler:such as the motivations of Sans and Carlson, the pointless maiming of Frisk, and artistic choice for a child (my taste though)]] it’s one of the few decently written Frisk/Asriel series I’ve been able to find. I felt that Queen of Peace ended the series nicely, and therefore I didn’t read any further into the series. Some smut from Too Heavy a Burden onwards. ([=Soulfire72=]) |

Devastated, Asriel determined that, even if it takes all night or means that he must miss the entire party, he would wait patiently for Frisk's arrival, as he wanted to be the first one to welcome them back home. And so, the waiting game began. |
| 1043 | * Pairing(s): Frisk/Asriel |
| 1044 | * Comments: Just a simple fluff fic that details an overly anxious Asriel awaiting his love to return just in time for the fireworks. |

What if Frisk was perfect for Papyrus in every possible way and became accidentally infatuated with his greatness? Will they have the courage to confess?

In an effort to get away from your own abusive mother, the two of you end up falling into the Underground, home to monsters you never realized existed. But, with little to go home to, you and Frisk end up staying in Snowdin with Sans and Papyrus. Something seems off with Frisk, however. There's times where they seem to know more than they should.

| 1096 | * Comments: A very interesting take on the Narrator Chara Theory. Here, Chara is able to take on a physical body once again, and accompany Frisk on her journey. The romance is exceptionally well done, as is the character writing in general. The other Fallen Children get their own backstory as well, and have about as much character as the main children, despite having less screentime. The author also has a collection of short stories set in the same universe that further develop the characters. |

It’s been three years since monsters have integrated into society. After a frightening experience, you start to run into the same skeleton everywhere you go, and your lonely life soon makes a one-eighty turn. In a world where magic is real and monsters are kind, can you find a way to be part of it? Can you let yourself fall in love again? Can you prove to the world that Take On Me by Aha is the greatest song ever written? Because it definitely, definitely is. |
| 1103 | * Pairing: Sans/OC - written in second person so that it reads as Sans/Reader. Also contains Undyne/Alphys and Asgore/OC, and mentions of past Sans/Toriel. |

Not the typical Sans/"Reader"; although it's written in second person, the lead - Anaya "Naya" Srivastava - is a very fleshed-out, compelling, likeable character with a heartbreaking backstory. The pacing and story is excellent with a good balance of comedy and dramatic moments, the characterisation is spot-on and the relationship between her and Sans is extremely sweet.

Before you knew it, you found yourself face to face with your SOUL, and it hit you hard that your fate was sealed; it wasn't red. As you embark on your journey, you'll encounter various monsters in the Underground. Some are friendly, some can't care less, some are hell-bent on ending your life, and surprisingly, some are seeking... love? How will it all end?

A quick warning, though; Lars has been given a slight RonTheDeathEater treatment (there's no way he'd be ''that'' rude to someone he's barely met, even if they were a different species). He's only in one or two chapters though, so it shouldn't be that much of a problem. |

| 1185 | * Author's Note: This story was originally posted on Fanfiction.net on November 2nd, 2015. Frisk is referred to in-story by male pronouns, as at the time I'd mistakenly believed Frisk to be male. |

The characterization is exactly like the characters in both the show and games and one of the interesting parts are the twin's different view and attitude towards this strange world and their interaction towards the Undertale characters, especially with the skeleton brothers. Another intriguing aspect from this crossover is the ongoing mystery to the Pine Twins' appearance in place of Frisk and some of the game's events are altered since the twins don't act like Frisk, especially Dipper. The narration is also excellent, sometimes switching between character POV to get an insider to this mystery. |

| 1210 | * Comments: A great crossover that follows Reimu Hakurei finding herself stuck in the Underground when Mt. Ebbot mysteriously appeared in Gensokyo after the events of Double Dealing Character. The author does a great job showcasing what would happen if Reimu was in Frisk's place, as Reimu's straightforward and dutiful yet carefree nature along with her spiritual powers and danmaku results in interesting interactions between Reimu and the Undertale characters as well as different scenarios occuring because of Reimu's character. Along with Reimu's venture, the story cuts to above-ground Gensokyo at least once per chapter to show how the residents of Gensokyo are reacting to the sudden appearance of Mt. Ebbot, with Marisa investigating Reimu's disappearance. |

| 1244 | * Comments: If you love Madoka Magica and Undertale, I recommend this. The author are really legit placing the role of undertale character as a madoka magica character. |

| 1249 | * Crossover With: ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'' |
| 1250 | * ''Synopsis'': Instead of an innocent unarmed child, a seasoned young adult equipped with the greatest weapon and armor humanity has left thanks to the Tasen enters Mt. Ebott. Like the child, this adult refuses to kill. Unlike the child, this only extends to a personal level. How much will change? How much will stay the same? This is a writing experiment. Rated T for casual mention of death. |

| 1257 | * ''Synopsis'': Run after run, the same constants are in place - the same politicians, the same prejudice, and no changes. Until Frisk and Chara decide to accept aid from yet another constant - an email sent by an anonymous supporter. But how much can one simple email really change? (Post-Pacifist Run, Post-The Last Guardian. Rated T to be safe. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.) |
| 1258 | * Comments: The author has done an ''excellent'' job at combining the lore of the two series. And there are a surprising amount of parallels between the two - to quote her words: |
| 1259 | |
| 1260 | -->'''[[WordOfGod SomniumOfLight]]''': And one day while I was re-reading the AF books, I suddenly noticed there were a TON of similarities between AF and UT. Underground civilization of magical non-human beings? ''Check.'' A kid who does all kinds of crazy stuff they shouldn’t be able to do while pitted against said magical beings? ''Check.'' Morally dubious situations for the main characters that concern the magical beings that may technically be their enemy but are actually really sympathetic? ''Check.'' Homicidal villains? ''Check.'' |

| 1269 | * ''Synopsis'': What if by some curious opportunity, instead of Wonderland... it was the Underground, the realm of monsters that Alice fell down the rabbit hole into? It's a world just as curious, with as many colorful characters, and things to discover... but is 'kill or be killed', 'mercy or violence', 'a good time or a bad time'. Can her curiosity and imagination open up into determination? |
| 1270 | * Comments: This fic takes the TropeNamer for DownTheRabbitHole and puts her in another 'rabbit hole' situation. It brilliantly captures Alice's character and brings a new take on Undertale's story. |

| 1276 | * Crossover with: VideoGame/NierAutomata |
| 1277 | * ''Synopsis'': It is the 120th Century CE. Two android soldiers, 2B and 9S, at last find sanctuary from endless war and heartbreak in a hidden, inescapable kingdom of monsters beneath the surface of the Earth. But the world they left is never far behind them, nor are the lingering traces of their bloody past. And soon they find themselves caught between a kingdom and its freedom... and a fallen angel and its vengeance. |
| 1278 | * Comments: A beautifully written tale of two tortured souls finally escaping their past, only to find new dangers and trials waiting for them - and a grand saga that probably leans more towards what you'd expect from anime than what you'd expect from Undertale. The writing style perfectly and elegantly captures everything that's going on and puts you in the characters' heads without distracting from the action. The story is written very accessibly, so that even people who've never played NieR can enjoy and understand the fic. It's a long ride (slightly under 430K words), but well worth it. |

What was that about the human SOULs escaping? As they become ever more entangled in a conspiracy of Stands and sorcery, Joseph and his new friends will need everything they've got to survive, much less save the world. |

What happens when all the edits are finally thrown aside after the Pacifist end? When the possibility of all that potential, of all those storylines unfulfilled are left unconcluded?

| 1467 | * Synopsis: It’s been 14 years since the monsters of the underground were set free, but Sans has never been able to really shake the feeling that it was all just a temporary reprieve. Even after living with the anomaly and watching her grow into an adult in his home, he never really believed that Frisk was human. Frisk is inclined to agree, at least not since a dark passenger made a home inside of her. |

| 1469 | * Comments: Much of what is in this comic is a stomach turner, as it makes Frisk's struggles all the more desperate as they fight a losing battle. Nearing the climax, it has already clear that [[spoiler: Chara will stop at nothing to kill everyone Frisk loves]] and it will take a miracle to get a happy ending. |

| 1489 | * Comments: This is a wonderfully woven tale of a more realistic approach to the monsters returning aboveground. It is all tied together by the central OC, Isla- a psychologist with her own set of trauma that ends up leading the monsters through the struggles of their past and of their future. This is a fic for all of those whose hearts weren't broken enough by Undertale alone. It spans quite a long time in-universe, with multiple month-long time-skips, and manages to bring development for pretty much every character without dragging on and on. [[spoiler: Pretty much everyone is traumatized and mentally ill in some way due to the events of Undertale. Partway through, Asriel gets his real body back, and all of the feelings of countless timelines that come with it. As in, all of the feelings he would have felt killing everyone if he weren't soulless Flowey - possibly thousands of years of trauma and grief. His inclusion makes this story just that much more tear-jerking, but it all leads to a satisfying and happy ending.]] |

| 1496 | * Comments: After a decent time-skip, monsters have been aboveground for years now. Isla has been treating everyone for that time, and things are better than they were. [[spoiler: Then Chara gets a body. And is very, very, '''''very''''' traumatized.]] This story is quite a bit shorter than its prequel, but is just as good and is just as much (if not more) of a tear jerker.

| 1546 | * Comments: An extremely well written story that illustrates a well-done "what if" scenario involving Chara and Frisk, the character development is fantastic, and it still stays incredibly grounded in the rules of the canon universe. It's long, especially since it still operates as an ask blog. The drama is well implemented and the more humorous elements break up the tension well. (Note: if you aren't reading the events from the links and are going through every post on the blog, posts that aren't relevant to the comic and characters are tagged as "ooc" and you can blacklist that if you want to scroll through and just get the story.) |

| 1560 | * Synopsis: After the events of Undertale, Frisk, Asriel, and MK find a secret room in Waterfall while visiting their old home in Mount Ebott. The room contained an odd mirror which they discover to be a portal to an alternate reality. It is a world where monsters were somehow very different. They were never sealed in the underground, they were stronger than the monsters in their own world, and they even had almost human-like souls. The downside? The monsters and humans had not gotten used to each other’s company. Fighting was common. Mercy was not. While trying to find their way back home, Frisk is captured by humans. Asriel and MK attempt to get Frisk back, but as they do so, a much larger plot begins to unfold. Meanwhile, their friends and family back home try to find a way to bring Frisk, Asriel, and MK back. They discover that the key to their return lies in Sans and Papyrus’ past. |

With no idea how to get home, Sarafine must rely on the good monsters of the Underground to help her find her way back to her timeline while trying to figure out why Frisk is going out of their to reset the timeline over and over again. . . |
| 1653 | * Comments: At first the comic starts out pretty grim, with Sarafina having to contend with the fact that she technically doesn't exist yet, being the offspring of Sans and Toriel. The character of Sarafina is that of a frightened child who nonetheless ventures forward in an attempt to stop Frisk from carrying out as of now an unknown agenda. |

| 1664 | * Synopsis: When the future of the whole kingdom is at stake, how much a single child will risk to save a single life? He knows every single timeline by heart. He changes events, makes mistakes and continues resetting. But now, when Frisk is finally close to achieving his “happy ending”, an unlucky set of events puts everything into danger. |
| 1665 | * Comments: Playing with timelines always has a drawback, and this story explores the lives affected by said timelines. Even if [[spoiler: Asriel is back from the dead and now a young adult]] there are a few things left undone by such drastic changes in the Underground. |

| 1671 | * Comments: Another telling of the game through the eyes of Frisk and Sans, the former trying to not gain any LOVE throughout their adventure, while Sans has a few problems of his own. The art is especially superb and has a tim burton vibe to it, plus it delves into the origins and life of W.D. Gaster and what may have caused his consciousness to be spread across time and space. |

| 1676 | * Synopsis: Sans is struggling with some strange nightmares lately and starts to wonder where they can come from. Are they just weird dreams or do they have something to do with the human child that the old lady has told him about? While he is investigating, he discovers that in one of his past lives, he made a horrible mistake that might end up ending the timelines once and for all... |
| 1677 | * Comments: This comic takes a deep dive into Sans's psyche and how the constant resets and the isolation might have messed it up. If you never felt bad for the poor guy, now you're practically guaranteed to. It's far from an angst-fest, though; it has its fair share of heartwarming and funny moments, which balances it out nicely. It also features some really nice coloured artwork. |

It is set on the Pacifist route of the game, and is completely positive -- no angst or mentions of the Genocide route here, just fun, fluff, and shenanigans. The art style is adorable, and the answers are great, ranging from hysterical to heartmelting. There's also a lot already there, so sit back, grab some popcorn, and prepare for an ArchiveBinge!

| 1687 | * Sypnosis: A comic version of the (in)famous Underfell AU, where all the monsters moralities are effectively flipped. Frisk falls down into the Underground, but instead of Flowey trying to kill them, he helps them and becomes their companion in their adventure. The rest of the Underground, however, is far more hostile to them. Can Frisk survive their journey through the underground? |
| 1688 | * Comments: Perhaps one of the best and most fleshed out versions Underfell out there, this telling embraces its setting while staying true to the original game. All of the characters are distinctly Underfell while being far more than one dimensional edgy versions of their original Undertale selves. It also makes great use of the fact that Flowey is Frisk's companion in this AU, adding a snarky and cynical foil to Frisk's strict and kind pacifism. It should also be noted that the author does occasionally answer asks in character on the Tumblr as well if you finish catching up on the story and need some more content. As of this writing, the story has finished up the Snowdin arc. |

Asriel remains at the very beginning where Frisk fell into the Underground, resigned to his fate as a soulless being. Except Frisk is not having any of that. The human splits their soul and connects it with Asriel's, preventing the Prince of Monsters from turning back into a flower. Thus the two begin a journey through the entire underground to reach the broken barrier and reunite a family. |

| 1856 | * Recommended by: [=DanMat6288=], {{Tropers/SergeantSqueaks}}, {{@/Robinton}} |
| 1857 | * Synopsis: A series of fan animations starting with one [[spoiler:depicting the Genocide Run fight with Sans with a twist ending. Then the sequels that follow detail [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the consequences of that twist]].]] |
| 1858 | * Comments: The whole series is well animated and quite suspenseful, getting more so on both counts with each passing episode. And the fight sequences are [[AutobotsRockOut well choreographed to some excellent music]]. |

| 1862 | * Synopsis: Lightly animated clips of Frisk and Chara's mostly-murderous adventures through the Underground, as voiced by clips taken from WebVideo/GameGrumps' Bloodborne run. |
| 1863 | * Comments: Not as dark as it sounds, but definitely black comedy. Cute facial expressions. |

| 1866 | * Recommended by: Waddle, {{@/Robinton}} |
| 1867 | * Synopsis: Right after [[spoiler:the fight against Sans at the end of the Genocide Route, he doesn't die, but actually goes into a OneWingedAngel mode, and becomes an humongous skeleton called Ultra Sans.]] |
| 1868 | * Comments: A well made video, so close to the style of the game that it looks like it is a recording of actual gameplay footage. [[spoiler:Sans destroying the Attack button (then the others)]] is a nice echo to the fight against [[spoiler:Asgore]]. One of the best part of the video is the ending, [[spoiler:which is a very clever use of the Ancient Artifact, turning this TrollingCreator moment into a mind-blowing BrickJoke]]. |

| 1872 | * Recommended by: Waddle |
| 1873 | * Synopsis: In the Pacifist Route, [[spoiler:the ferryman]] reveals itself as "the man who speaks in hands". |
| 1874 | * Comments: A truly nightmarish fight, once again very close to the game. Some of the attacks are really clever and original ideas, looking hard but fair, though some of them are a bit long. The various visual glitches add a lot to the NightmareFuel, and the events of the fight really give a sad feeling of hopelessness. |

| 1878 | * Recommended by: RuTsuna, @/MsAmiClassified |
| 1879 | * Synopsis: In a twist of fate, Sans dies before he can fight you in Judgement Hall. In his place waits his brother. |
| 1880 | * Comments: Straying from the formerly common "Disbelief" AU of the fandom's early days where Papyrus loses his faith in you and decides to kill the player in righteous fury, this fan-made fight takes OriginalFlavor to its logical conclusion. Papyrus, robbed of everything, gives you one final shot to redeem yourself. |

| 1890 | * Status: Complete. |
| 1891 | * Comments: Holy ''crap''. This is just beautifully done, with excellent voice acting, as well as some great remixes of the original music, and some very nice coloring and sound effects. The episodes are about half an hour each, so grab some popcorn and strap in! |

| 1894 | * Recommended by: 1n73rn37_n3rd_584 Troper/{{Thecommander236}} |
| 1895 | * Synonpsis: Similar to An Actual Full Genocide Papyrus AU Battle by SuperWiiMarioBros08, this is an animation showing a four-phase battle with phenomenal music and stunning animation that looks like a byproduct of the game itself. Highly recommended watch. Older versions had Papyrus stop believing in you. This version has Papyrus having a rough time giving up on you. A playable version is in the works. |

| 1914 | * Synopsis: Frisk embarks on a journey to seduce everyone in the Underground. |

| 1928 | * Recommended by: Tropers/{{Thecommander236}} |
| 1929 | * Crossover with ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' |
| 1930 | * ''Synopsis'': Plankton goes on a rampage an decides to kill everyone up to and including his royal baldingness, King Neptune himself and the last line of defense is none other than Spongebob Squarepants. It's definitely not the best day ever. |
| 1931 | * Comments: An alternate universe version of Undertale where the cast is all Spongebob characters. ''Chrono Catalyst'' shows us what a genocide fight with Spongebob would be like. A ridiculous idea that is presented quite well with very good animation and fantastic music. Spongebob is presented very much in line with his actual character except much more competent. Try and spot all the references if you can. |

| 1940 | * Synopsis: A 2D-animated portrayal of Undyne battling Frisk on a Genocide run. |
| 1941 | * Comments: The fluid and expressive animation, plus some good sound design, really sell the emotion of this scene. Attention to details such as Undyne's [[spoiler: slightly-melting body]], as well as Frisk seeing a vision of [[spoiler: the monsters they've killed up to this point]], are really nice touches. |

| 1947 | * Comments: Delightfully creepy and impressively detailed; it really captures the horror of the scene from the game. And Flowey proves that not even Platform/YouTube is safe from his [[MediumAwareness meta-awareness]]. |

| 1953 | * Comments: Even though it doesn't include the actual fight, the expressive animation and voice acting still make it feel intense and dramatic. Could be considered an AU since Chara is in the animation instead of Frisk. |

| 1973 | * Recommended by: aipom14, {{Tropers/Syrika}}, Lwoorl, Tropers/LordOfTheSword |
| 1974 | * Synopsis: {{Interquel}} to the ''Undertale'' storyline. The human gets lost in a way nobody thought possible and bumps into a rather conflicted Royal Guard. Things don't go as anyone would have hoped. |
| 1975 | * Comments: Possibly the first complete ''Undertale'' fan game, consisting of a single boss battle against a (well-designed) OC. While the dialogue is rough around the edges (but still entertaining), the main attraction is the battle itself; Red has several tricks that aren't seen anywhere in ''Undertale'', and the game itself is an almost-perfect recreation of the battle system from the source material. While it's not very big, it does have a good amount of content for a single battle, including two distinct battle paths, hidden details and several endings, and [[spoiler:some interesting, if brief, commentary on fangames as relative to the themes of ''Undertale'']]. Difficulty is somewhere around the Undyne fight, [[spoiler:jumping up to Asgore/Undyne the Undying levels during the No Mercy fight branch]]. |
| 1976 | ** Seconded. Red may be an OC, but she's fun and enjoyable, with a lot of heart packed in just like the characters of Undertale itself! There's also a surprising amount of dialogue and endings in this battle despite its short status. |
| 1977 | ** However, to those who accept OCs with a grain of salt, Red hits a lot of boxes that'll set folk off. She's the youngest inductee to the Royal Guard (of such rank she's even allowed to wear the Delta Rune); such a prodigal fighter she can use the Guardians and has a {{Tsundere}}-like personality that can border on excessive. She does at least admit that she's not normally allowed to use the Guardians (that they're available is [[NiceJobBreakingItHero courtesy of your implied bloodshed in that route]]), but that then brings into question why she can use them as well as she does. |

| 1984 | * Comments: Unlike Undertale:Red, PBCA is a platformer, akin to [[VideoGame/MeatBoy ''Super Meat Boy'']] in terms of difficulty. Don't let the intro screen, [[StylisticSuck charmingly rendered in MS Paint]], fool you. The graphics and music are quite good. |

| 1989 | * Synopsis: An Alphys boss fight. '''Spoilers for all endings.''' |
| 1990 | * Comments: This Alphys fight is just incredibly inspired, with a bunch of unique and interesting twists on the Hotland+Mettaton mechanics — it's the NEO fight I had expected in game. And it's fittingly very difficult, approaching the level of [[spoiler: Genocide Sans]] towards the end. |

| 1995 | * Synopsis: A boss fight with the original game's GreaterScopeVillain. '''Spoilers for the No Mercy route.''' |
| 1996 | * Comments: A neat fangame that works either independently, or off of an existing ''Undertale'' save to [[OldSaveBonus carry over your stats and items]]. The main attraction this time around is [[spoiler:the Fallen Child, who has [[GrandTheftMe hijacked your body]] since the No Mercy ending and intends to finish you off]]. Other than some minor gripes with a couple of the attack mechanics, the gameplay is very faithful to the original game and manages to still bring along its humor despite the circumstances of the plot. Also, like any good ''Undertale'' fanwork, there are MultipleEndings depending on how you approach the fight, including surprise appearances from other characters that escaped your wrath in the No Mercy route. |
| 1997 | --> P.S.: While the fangame is intended to be experienced after a No Mercy ending in the main game, this isn't necessary. That said, don't try this using a Pacifist ''Undertale'' save unless you're a ''very'' dedicated ChallengeSeeker. |

| 2003 | * Comments: A DatingSim without any dating, this [=Friendship Sim=] explores Frisk’s role as the ambassador of all monsters. The writers have very effectively captured the ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' cast’s personalities, the art style is adorable and the music consists of cute acoustical renditions of the ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' soundtrack.

Although at point of writing the full game has not been completed, the demo (featuring the first area, Ruined Home) is superbly made, capturing the 'feel' of Undertale while introducing original concepts and characters that make it truly unique and giving it a 'fresh' feel to old players. Further, as of February 2024 the second chapter has been released. Taking place in the Starlight Isles (an alternate Snowdin), it allows players to interact with some familiar faces from the original Undertale[[note]][[spoiler: including one [[ThatOneBoss who]] will give you a '''''very''''' bad time should you decide to do a genocide route]][[/note]] as well as new characters, each with a unique personality. It also has some AntiFrustrationFeatures, such as a sprinting mechanic and a setting to decrease damage taken (useful for those who want to focus more on the story, or find themselves unable to beat ThatOneBoss). |
