Summary
Nightmare spreads negativity to maintain the balance that allows the multiverse to persist. Through dust, sweat, and tears, he has gained commanding power, a loyal team of minions, and a fearsome reputation.
While scouting AUs, he encounters a version of himself that never left the village. A version that styles himself a prince, claims to rule peacefully with his brother, and is aghast to learn how Nightmare has been performing his role.
Things do not go as planned.

Black Apple Blues by DragonLikeTendencies, Quonit, theunknownthey
Fandoms: Undertale (Video Game)

Summary
Nightmare, one of the twin guardians of the Tree of Feelings, eats one of the dark apples he's tasked with protecting. It awakens as a consciousness inside him, not quite hostile and not quite content to pal around as a hitchhiker in Night's head, but still willing to bide its time and learn about its surroundings and its new host.
Maybe it has something to do with that pocket dimension he visits occasionally - the one with the entity that calls itself a human, and the only adult skeleton he's ever known.
A compilation of all the fics in the Black Apple Blues series.

Handplates Gaster lives in my head rent-free by theunknownthey
Fandom: Undertale (Video Game)
19 Dec 2022
Summary
Un/connected oneshots and such related to Handplates by zarla. Look, garbage skeleton isn't leaving my head any time soon, so maybe I should stop worrying about looking like I have a one-track mind and actually share some of these with folks who might appreciate them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

02 Apr 2023
Summary
In a nutshell:
Nightmare, one of the twin guardians of the Tree of Feelings, eats one of the dark apples he's tasked with protecting. It awakens as a consciousness inside him, not quite hostile and not quite content to pal around as a hitchhiker in Night's head, but still willing to bide its time and learn about its surroundings and its new host.
Maybe it has something to do with that pocket dimension he visits occasionally - the one with the entity that calls itself a human, and the only adult skeleton he's ever known.
HandplatesXDreamtale crossover, but specifically the ukagaka versions.

Summary
Series taking place in the Black Apple Blues universe! It's an optional extension of it where Dream secretly has a crush on Night, but everything else is the same.
This means general world building (Dream and Night being 15 years old, Dream being they/them, and other things) are still canon.
The AU is called "DemiDream" because usually Dream is aro/ace but here they're demi aro/ace.
If you haven't read Black Apple Blues and like this series, you should!

This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
EDIT 6/28/17: The third chapter now shows how to use anchor links as an index/table of contents.

One of the funniest fics I have ever read. And genuine pathos at the end, too.
