    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.

    Summary

    “Easy there,” he murmured. “No need to rush it. Baby steps. Take it a night at a time.”

    Mettaton clutched Tenna’s hand like his life depended on it. The pink in his cheeks deepened in saturation. “What if it takes me forever to get it right?”

    “Then I guess I’ll be working forever and a day, huh?”

    After acquiring a corporeal body in the Dark World, Mettaton yearns to put his new legs to good use. Quite the tall order, considering he doesn’t know how, but Tenna is more happy to teach him, no matter how long it takes.

    Or 5 times Mettaton is swept off his feet and 1 time Tenna is instead.

    Summary

    When he wakes up in a clean bed in what he later will learn is a sanatorium, he finds a pair of flintlocks and a rose quartz rosary lying on the night stand next to him, meaning they're probably his.

    Not that he has the slightest idea where he is, or how he got here in first place.

    As he tries to gather himself, a group of people wearing unfamiliar faces enters the room. They crowd around his bed and ask questions, but when he has no answers it is them who tell him that he was lost to them for nigh half a year, dead and buried, mourned, and now brought back to life by a miracle of the Light.

    They tell him this place is called the Hamlet, and that his own name is Dismas.
