Only to get to chapter 139 and SCREAM OUT LOUD because you jinxed yourself right into THE NEWEST WAVE OF CLIMATIC PLOT CHAPTERS WHERE ALL THE SHIT IS GOING DOWN and now you, too, have become the reader you felt such pity for?

Wait, you don't?

THEN GO OVER THERE AND DO WHAT I DID SO I DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE IN MY HUBRIS. It comes with art. So. Much. Wonderful. Comic. Art.

I would like to stress (as I have done before) that I have never played this game. Not once. I had never even heard of it originally. Yet this is now the second absolutely massive Sans x reader/OC fic I have read in this fandom. Everything I know about Undertale, I learned because one day on a whim I decided to read a 480,000+ word, 170+ chapter fanfic because I liked the way @tricktster used words on some tumblr post (don't ask me which one, I've forgotten). I have re-read that fic at least once a year, if not more, for multiple years in a row because it's like a favorite book to me now.

If anyone needs me, I'll be comfort-reading it, again.

And then probably going back and re-reading JoAT, because oh my god that fic. I'm just so in love with it for a million reasons.

(Yes, it took me this long to see there was another glorious treasure in plain sight under @capnhanbers despite following @mod2amaryllis and it's just really embarrassing to be confronted by that kind of obliviousness, okay? Can I blame it on how, multiple times now over the years, I've gone months and months without looking at this app unless it notified me of something specific?)

I swear, I have never read fic in any other fandom where it was this easy to immerse myself in it with nothing more than some light googling along the way (the first time with CoBC), and the googling was just because I'm me and I like to know all the things. In both cases, you don't have to come to the table with anything other than an interest in supernatural-elements stories (monsters, magic, etc) and a love for snappy dialogue and funny (dad) jokes and HEART-WRENCHING FEELS and watching the author having a life journey in the notes.

Come onnnnnn, I haven't distanced myself, I just don't have anything new to say about it. I finished writing it like five years ago! But for what it's worth, since I pick up new followers way too regularly for a blog that's inactive for two weeks and then dumps several dozen VERY LONG posts about my weird esoteric interests over the course of a few hours:

Hi new followers. We don't know each other very well yet, but I think you're cool, and you obviously think I’m worth following... so, in the interest of full disclosure, you should really know that I, tumblr user TST (née TotalSkeletonTrash), started this blog in late 2015 in order to promote Chill or Be Chilled, a 484,012 word (occasionally) explicit Undertale fanfiction, which has (as of right now) 11180 kudos, which, per my calculations, means that it is still the 659th most kudos-ed work of all time on Archive of Our Own.

And while 659th place isn't that impressive as a general rule, when you consider that there are 7,333,763 fics on Archive of Our Own, coming in at 659 on the most liked fics is still this weird point of pride that I can't tell any of my colleagues about for fear of getting fired on account of I wrote a fanfiction where the reader character has sex with Sans "The Skeleton" The Skeleton.

Also, my OC Peter Capra, a 38 year-old, pansexual, extremely wealthy, cis-male CEO of a small renewable energy corporation who just shows up in the story out of the blue in like chapter 60 (and somehow manages to be an obvious self-insert even though I'm exactly none of the above things) - yeah, a solid portion of CoBC involves him being upset about falling in love with Mettaton, who is, for those of you who have not played Undertale, a robot ghost David Bowie/Freddie Mercury.

In spite of all that, even though I’m my own harshest critic and there is a LOT in CoBC that is objectively ridiculous, I can sincerely promise that it’s actually pretty good.

If you are of age, intrigued by that terrible sales pitch, and don't mind the first chunk just being extreme fluff until I got tired of writing what I thought people wanted to read and started writing what I wanted to read - an incredibly elaborate sci-fi/time travel/vaguely-Lovecraftian-horrors-but-minus-the-racism story - you can check Chill or Be Chilled out here. If it’s just too long to attempt, here’s the gist:

CHAPTER 1 of Chill or be Chilled (by @tricktster) the comic all sketched out. I will not be  continuing because this project started as a collaboration and the the other guy dropped the ball. More under the cut!

Snippet:

‘John looks down at his peaceful face, young and smooth. His dark eyelashes cast a shadow across his cheekbones. John reaches out to brush the tips of his fingers against the silky skin, soft and warm. John allows the tips to wander across the bridge of his straight nose, down to the plump lips, parted slightly in sleep. Warm air puffs across his skin, and John absently strokes the bottom lip gently.

Eyes heavy, John closes them with a deep sigh as he dips a finger slightly inwards to press the tender flesh against a sharp tooth. Feels the tip of a soft tongue flick forward, Sherlock’s body instinctively tasting the intrusion. John retracts his finger, rubs the wet digit across the lips under his touch before sliding his hand away, lazily stroking at curls with the hand still holding Sherlock’s head to his chest.  

My first bit of fanart for chill or be chilled by @totalskeletontrash ; did it all while I was suppose to be taking notes from the lecture

I really should pay more attention in my class lol
