Chapter Text
Sometimes things don't go as you plan. Sometimes you really want to make something work, and it just doesn't… and then sometimes you start with an obvious professor kink you have and it turns into over 100,000 words of… well, this.
I can't believe I'm here. I nearly gave up completely on this fic, fully intending to either let it sit at 20 something chapters, never to be finished, or hand it over to someone else to let them write it. All in all, I'm glad I finished it. I'm so happy about what it became.
But I didn't do it on my own, at least not at the beginning. I started this with two people I considered best friends of mine. A lot of the core ideas came from them, I just wrote the story for the most part. Though we are no longer friends, and they will most likely never see this, I'd like to thank them from the bottom of my heart.
A lot has happened this year, to me personally. I've learned so much about myself. I've learned how I need to go about treating other people, and how to step back when someone needs space. I've also learned more about my self-worth as a person, and realized that I deserve better than what I've dealt with this year.
I love coming on here and seeing people reading my writing. I constantly refresh ao3 to see if I have anything in my inbox. Even if you only leave an emoji in the comments, I see you, and I truly, truly appreciate you. You all make me forget that just months ago I was in one of the lowest points of my life. I come on here and I'm happy, and I feel like I belong. So thank you so, so much.
Whether you are battling with mental illness, or you're just down on your luck. YOU are worthy of love, and there is someone out there who cares. I was so blinded by grief of losing people who I thought loved me, that I turned from the people who actually did. My husband, the people around me, my new friends that I only needed to reach out to (you know who you all are!) They all love me, and you know what? I fucking deserve that love.
Just like all of you deserve love! Don't you ever let anyone, or any voice in your head tell you that you don't deserve love. YOU ABSOLUTELY DO!
I just want you to know that I love you all, and if any of you want someone to talk to, do not be afraid to reach out to me!

Back to what I was saying about the story…
It's been so fun seeing everyone's reactions to everything… especially the Frisk/Chara twist. That had been planned since the beginning and damn it was fun to finally reveal it lol. I feel like, compared to my previous 2 fics, this one was definitely more well-written. (honestly, it keeps getting better as I go. I guess that whole practice makes perfect shit is true :P ) This one, while funny at many moments with puns and Frisk’s antics, had some serious topics to deal with, and I’m glad with the way everything turned out.
If you have any comments or questions about the story, please leave it below! Or send me an ask on Tumblr! (Do that regardless, I love hearing from people! :D )
So… what’s coming next, you might ask? Well, I said this would be my last full Undertale fic. I even made a separate work for drabbles in case I wanted to write more Undertale.
I was wrong. Well, not about drabbles, I will still be doing those! No, I started reading Ocean on Fire by TheNinjaMouse, and reread Hell is a Place on the Surface by Lavender_Chan and, well, um.
I’m going to be writing a Slavetale Grillby/Reader fic. That’s right. I’m leaving dear, ole Sans for the hottest monster of them all, eyyyyy ;)
Of course it’s Slavetale, so there’s gonna be a lot of pain. Which may or may not be one of my favorite things to write. My poor characters </3
SO, be on the lookout for that! I may do a few of those drabble requests first. I SHOULD be working on the Stardew Valley fic I started, but Undertale pulled me back under the fucking water-
Aaand I’m rambling. :P If you have a request for me, head on over to that work and leave me one in the comments there! I have a list of each one I get!
I’ll be honest, I kinda feel silly that I’m STILL writing Undertale fanfiction, but the story and the characters make me so damn happy, I can’t stop! So as long as you lovely people will read them, I will write them… Probably.
Did you actually read all of that? YOU are amazing! <3 I love you so much for your support, you mean the absolute world to me, and I hope you know that I mean it. Please, never be afraid to reach out to me. I know sometimes it can be weird to message people who’s writing or art you like, but we’re all just like you
Awkward, yet loveable (most of the time) nerds.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! <3333
