    Summary

    "Tweek pours himself a cup in the stupid mug Craig got him for his birthday when they were, like, 16, (He loves the man but he did not appreciate having to explain to half the town that his beloved boyfriend’s gift to him was a mug that said “it burns when I pee” and not some shit like a bouquet of flowers or a ring) and scurries over to their small table. Cramming himself into his chair, Tweek takes a nervous sip of his coffee and hunches over his phone. He has to do it at some point. He knows they’re awake. He knows they know what day it is. Shakily, Tweek wakes up his phone. With well-practiced fingers, he inputs his code and braces himself for the messages about to appear on his screen. Scrolling through his notifications, he sees a message from Jimmy, another from Clyde, and a couple of Facebook notifications from various old friends. Tricia also has sent him a nice note.

    Nothing from his parents.

    Tweek closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Of course."

    I was already on-board with the premise in the description, but this fic executes it better than I could have expected!

    Summary

    Feldspar knows it's wrong.

    His attraction to the heir of the last barbarian tribe has done nothing but bring him shame and disappointment. But that doesn't stop him from admiring Tweek, wishing he could see Feldspar as Feldpsar sees him. So, despite how much it kills him inside to travel with the man, he can't bring himself to leave.

    Being with Tweek is worth the pain, even if he's been acting a bit strange lately.

    If there's one word for this fic it's 'gripping', but in a very real, grounded, visceral kind of way. Absolute banger

    Summary

    Stan and Kyle had never really talked about it. About Kenny's death. At least, not maturely. By the time either had really grown up enough to be able to do that, they weren't really best friends anymore.

    The grief suddenly hits Kyle hard, especially next to one of the people that had always been there when Kenny was. Kyle doesn't understand how the grief is even possibly hitting him this hard this fast, but it nearly feels exactly the same it did the moment Kyle's mom had woken him up gently to tell him that Kenny had passed away.

    It's been years — fuck, it's been almost a decade — but looking at Kenny’s pixelated face brings it all rushing back. The hospital waiting room with its buzzing fluorescent lights. His mom's hand on his shoulder. The way Stan just... disappeared.

    Kyle had forgotten. Or maybe he'd just buried it so deep he could pretend he'd forgotten. But here it is, preserved in 480p resolution, and Kyle feels thirteen again, confused and angry and desperately sad all at once.

     
    OR:
    Stan calls Kyle for the first time in years. Kyle answers.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I would call this cozy hurt/comfort, as contradictory as that sounds. The character writing is so good, the story could contain nothing happening and I'd still be along for the ride. The fact that stuff does happen and that stuff is excellent just makes it even better.

    Summary

    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. Food, water, power, all of these things are a far cry from the endless war machines he had designed on the surface. However, Gaster is eager to get back to the surface, to see the stars again. Despite the King's disapproval, the good doctor decides to take matters into his own hands...

    Chapters are long and formatting might be weird, but I'm trying to make it readable. 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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    My Undertale-fan era was, relatively speaking, a flash in the pan. Yet somehow in that short time, and despite my only experiences with fanfiction at that time being infamous funny-bad stuff like Metroid High and My Immortal, I ended up reading this, liking it, and then just moving on. I never read any other fanfic until years later, yet this story stuck in my head. Little scenes, whole arcs, a lot of the worldbuilding from the quasi-sequel MAYEM and its spin-off stories, they'd all play in my head at random and I'd remember it fondly. With a few years of fic-reading under my belt I came back to re-visit expecting the worst but holy moly it was even better than I remembered. I would genuinely place it amongst my favourite fics ever and I don't even care all that much about Undertale anymore, that's how good it is. How in the hell did teenage me read this and not get hooked on fanfiction??? How did he not have to take, like, a week to process it???
