* {{Bishonen}}: Asgore had shades of this in "The King." Partially {{Justified}} since it takes place in the far past, when Asgore was a young adult.
** Apparently it runs in the family, since adult Asriel also has a bit of this going on.

'''Massive unmarked Undertale spoilers below. You have been warned.'''

''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has gotten an enormous fanbase seemingly overnight. And with it, there have been many {{fanfic}}s created for it describing a myriad of AlternateUniverseFic ideas.

One of the strongest thus far is based on a Website/{{Tumblr}} page which tells a different story out of the True Pacifist Route: ''[[http://dreemurr-reborn.tumblr.com/ A Dreamer Reborn]]''.

In ''A Dreamer Reborn'', Frisk decides to sacrifice himself by granting his [=SOUL=] to Asriel Dreemurr, the son of Asgore and Toriel, so he can keep his form and return to the surface with the rest of the monsters.

The first long story, "The Choice", features one last battle between Asriel[=/=]Frisk and Chara, as the latter attempts to use Frisk's now-dead body to return to life himself. This story was written twice — first as a series of short comics, and later a {{Retcon}}ned version featuring an animated battle sequence.

The second long story, "The Mistake", features Asriel[=/=]Frisk drawn into a battle with Sans (who believes Asriel took Frisk's [=SOUL=] by force), and also having to confront their inner demons from playing the game for so long.

The second Arc, ''Overtale: Childhood'' tells how Asriel and the monsters adapt to their new life on the Surface.

This Arc features the third long story, "The King", where Gerson tells an old story of how Asriel's parents, Asgore and Toriel, met.

The third Arc, ''Overtale: Adulthood'', is like the second one, but with Asriel[=/=]Frisk as adults (or at least teenagers).

Fatz is now working on ''The End'', the fourth and final long story, which is actually a playable game. It features an adult Asriel[=/=]Frisk being attacked by Gaster.

!!Provides Examples Of:

* ArcSymbol: The combined [=SOUL=] of Frisk and Asriel, which is a red heart with a white heart within.

* InterfaceScrew: Frisk defeated Chara by destroying the [=FIGHT=] option, disabling Chara's ability to take his [=SOUL=] and Asriel's body in combat, dooming Chara to die with Frisk's body.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: During the battle in "The Return", [[spoiler:Chara]] starts using the souls of other versions of Frisk from "other timelines", each with their own different interpretations. It's implied that these souls [[spoiler:are the in-game [=SOULs=] of real-life players who went through the Genocide run and gave their [=SOUL=] to Chara]]. The only thing the souls have in common is that they're all [[spoiler:given to Chara at the end of their respective Genocide runs]].

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Sans finally accepts Asriel's story of Frisk willingly giving him his [=SOUL=] when he gives him back his second secret codeword, [[spoiler:"[[PottyHumor I am the legendary fartmaster.]]"]] The only way for Frisk to know it is to have [[ShownTheirWork encountered Sans in the judgement hall at least three times on a pacifist run]].

* PoisonousFriend: Chara.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Sans finally accepts Asriel's story of Frisk willingly giving him his [=SOUL=] when he gives him back his second secret codeword, [[spoiler:"[[PottyHumor I am the legendary fartmaster.]]"]] The only way for Frisk to know it is to have [[ShownTheirWork encountered Sans in the judgement hall at least three times]].

** The same goes for [[spoiler:Chara. Instead of the popular WMG that Chara was pretty much behind the whole KillEmAll intent of a Genocide run, the fic pretty much shows that they were brought back from the dead unwillingly, at the body of someone who was killing their old friends left and right against their wishes. Which gives a tone of PayEvilUntoEvil on the original's Genocide Ending.]]

One of the strongest thus far is based on a Website/{{Tumblr}} page which tells a different story out of the True Pacifist Route: ''[[http://dreemurr-reborn.tumblr.com/ A Dreamer Reborn]]''

The first Arc, ''Undertale'', starts with Frisk's sacrifice and tells how he and Asriel came back to the castle and joined back with the others. It's separated in two long stories:

The first long story, "The Choice", features one last battle between Asriel[=/=]Frisk and Chara, as the latter attempts to use Frisk's now-dead body to return to life himself. This story was written twice - first as a series of short comics, and later a {{Retcon}}ned version featuring an animated battle sequence.

The third Arc, ''Overtale: Adulthood'' is like the second one, but with Asriel[=/=]Frisk as adults (or at least teenagers).

** Apparently it runs in the family, since adult Asriel also a bit of this going on.
* BittersweetEnding: This seems to be the major reason this story even happened, Frisk was so bothered by not being able to save Asriel from his fate that he played the game over and over. Eventually, he decided he would subvert this ending altogether and came up with a new solution.

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Happens at the very end of the [[spoiler:Chara]] fight (both versions), as [[spoiler:Asriel hugs Chara in his final moments as they fade.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early strips explicitly refer to Frisk with male pronouns, while later comics switch to the they/them dichotomy [[WordOfGod established by Toby Fox]] (or at least {{Fanon}} depending on your sources). Fatz later [[WordOfGod went on to explain]] that this was because the comic was inspired by a male Undertale player who reportedly kept playing the game over and over in an attempt to save Asriel, and as a result, Fatz projected his gender onto Frisk.

--> '''Frisk''': ''You inform Asriel he is a total wuss.''
* GrandFinale: ''The End'' serves as one to the fanfic. To get a scope of just how grand it is-- the main verse is a series of comics. The most ambitious project prior to ''The End'' was [[spoiler:the mockup battle between Asriel and Chara done in the style of the game]]. This project takes that, turns it up, and allows you to ''play'' it.

* HeelFaceTurn: Having learned from his mistakes in {{Videogame/Undertale}}, Asriel does not plan on making the same mistakes.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: {{Inverted}} in "The Mistake": Asriel/Frisk have to convince Sans that their arrangement was entirely voluntary, and Frisk[[spoiler:'s body]] did not die in vain. [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay They figure out a way to do that]].

** [[spoiler:The self-destruction of the FIGHT option on the new version of "The Return" could also be an possible symbolic meaning of Chara losing the will to hurt.]]
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: During the battle in "The Return", [[spoiler:Chara]] starts using the souls of other versions of Frisk from "other timelines", each with their own different interpretations. It's implied that these souls [[spoiler: are the in-game [=SOULs=] of real-life players who went through the Genocide run and gave their [=SOUL=] to Chara]]. The only thing the souls have in common is that they're all [[spoiler:given to Chara at the end of their respective Genocide runs.]]

* NeckSnap: A self-inflicted, PlayedForLaughs example has Asriel seeing if he can still rotate his head all the way. SmashCut to him [[AmusingInjuries sitting in the ER with a neck brace]].

* RPGMechanicsVerse: No surprise since the series is based on an RPG, however the Chara boss fight is the greatest example.
* SharingABody: Frisk and Asriel share the latter's body. Unlike Asriel's problems with Chara in {{Videogame/Undertale}}, Frisk and Asriel seem to get along very well together.

* SwordOverHead: An ([[AntiVillain anti]]) villainous example. Chara eventually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786bb0vGdJM has Asriel at their mercy]] -- he has barely a single hitpoint of health left, they're poised over him with a knife, he's helpless to stop them killing him... and then:

* TheAgeless: Frisk mentions that his parents are finally aging again now that he's alive, which is a clear sign of the author [[ShownTheirWork doing their homework]].

* {{Yandere}}: A platonic example. [[spoiler: Chara wants to be together with Asriel again, even if it takes ''everything'', and they mean '''everything.''']]

* GrandFinale: ''The End'' serves as one to the fanfic. To get a scope of just how grand it is-- the main verse is a series of comics. The most ambitious project prior to ''The End'' was [[spoiler:the mockup battle between Asriel and Chara done in the style of the game]]. This project takes that, turns it UpToEleven, and allows you to ''play'' it.

* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Chara in the new version of "The Return." After the battle between him and Asriel, the two of them have a friendly heart-to-heart and Chara accepts his death calmly and with a smile.]]

* DirectDemographic: It's very clear the webcomic is made for people who have (A), finished Undertale and (B), like Undertale enough to look for a webcomic on it.

The story and art are by someone using the PenName "Fatz Geronimo".

Fatz is now working on ''The End'', the fourth long story, which is actually a playable game. It features an adult Asriel[=/=]Frisk being attacked by Gaster.

* GrandFinale: ''The End'' serves as one to the fanfic. To get a scope of just how grand it is-- the main verse is a series of comics. The most ambitious project prior to ''The End'' was [[spoiler:the mockup battle between Frisk and Chara done in the style of the game]]. This project takes that, turns it UpToEleven, and allows you to ''play'' it.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: [[spoiler:Chara shows that s/he has hundreds of Frisk souls from various genocide runs, and explains to Frisk that this is who Frisk really is. Furthermore, Asriel and Chara are shown in a flashback, where Chara laments being a human due to their terrible nature, while Asriel and the other monsters are essentially more human to him/her than any human ever could be.]]

* SeriesHiatus: The King arc was put on hiatus so the author could go back and retool the first arc with a better story.
** It's more on the basis that the author ''lost most of the parts'' of the King arc due to their computer crashing.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early strips explicitly refer to Frisk with male pronouns, while later comics switch to the they/them dichotomy [[WordOfGod established by Toby Fox]]. Fatz later [[WordOfGod went on to explain]] that this was because the comic was inspired by a male Undertale player who reportedly kept playing the game over and over in an attempt to save Asriel, and as a result, Fatz projected his gender onto Frisk.
