You think Chujin would just kill Chord again after seeing her alive... what changed that?
Well, its canon that Chujin didnt want to kill the Integrity soul- he says it himself, in his tapes.
"I only wanted apprehension..."
So, him following Chord was to make sure he couldn't escape. He didnt really have a plan, he just wanted to make sure the human couldn't hurt any more monsters.
But when he turns the corner, expecting to see a horrible, evil human hellbent on destroying monsterkind...
All he saw was a scared child.
Tldr
(Also i get the confusion because chord IS very girlypop, but he is a boy!)
I love the fact that you had to specify that kanako and frisk dont have jobs and that they are baby
Indeed! They are baby
Btw, for everybody who has left me asks! I will be getting to all of them very soon!
As soon as my exams are over, and ive finished playing the utry update, i will answer them, prommy. I just like to include drawings with them, so they take some time.
What would happen if clover got turn into a monster.
Idk what kind but fox bird vampire hell maybe a wolf idk it up to ya.
How over protective would they be of clover.
Like for martlet would she he a cool bird mom of clover was a bird monster?
Or
If clover was a fox monster/kitsune would chujin and Ceroba both be like nop no dangerous cowboys adventures with starlo. But you can go on the safer ones that involve not going into the literal dangers of the underground.
Or etc etc.
Accidentally deleted everything i wrote ughgdgdggggg. Gonna rewrite everything to the best of my ability
I was kinda stumped for what kind of monster to make Clover, but i decided on a sandy looking lizard. I thought itd help them fit in more with the Dunes, since multiple npcs assume thats where Clovers from.
I also think Clovers friends would become less protective, if anything. Clover becoming a monster removes nearly all risks they faced as a human.
Ceroba and Chujin were very lucky to have good community in Oasis Valley and the Wild East. Wild East monsters have sworn to never breathe a word about the kids, and while some monsters in Oasis Valley have theories, they like the Ketsukanes, and their human children, too much to contact the guards.
Which is lucky! We know Asgore is kind, and doesnt want to hurt the human children, but if it was revealed the Ketsukanes were not hiding one, but three human children? He'd be forced to take some kind of action.
So Clover becoming a monster would mean they could travel to and from Snowdin freely, and explore the rest of the Underground without worrying about the Royal Guard.
If Clover became a bird-monster like Martlet, the two would definitely get closer. Ive always seen Clover and Marlet as siblings (esp since in my au shes only around 7 years older than Clover), but theyd definitely spend a lot more time together. Marlet would teach Clover to fly so they could travel more easily. They'd probably take Kanako and Frisk on their back and just fly around. Ceroba and Chujin would both have heart attacks.
Kitsune Clover would be more or less the same. I know everybody loves protective!Ceroba and kitsune!Clover, but that wouldn't really fit in this au.
Ceroba never lost her husband or her daughter in this au. She has a thriving family, and no reason to be overprotective of a monster Clover.
Ceroba and Chujin are both protective over their human children, which is reasonable. But they'd dial it back if Clover was a monster of any kind, even a fox.
Theyve never been the biggest fan of Starlos Wild East adventures, but allow Clover to partake in them since they're old enough, and can take care of themselves. Starlo also dials the adventures back a bit with Clover around, lest their parents find out and kick his ass.
They wouldnt feel right keeping Clover from joining in on Starlos cowboy shenanigans, considering how close-knit the two are. They also know Starlo wouldnt let Clover get hurt, or near any real danger.
So overall, Clover somehow becoming a monster would be best case scenario for everyone.
Forgive any typos i dont reread these things
I love your justice prevails au. I asume, Starlo is Papyrus, ceroba is undyne and chujin is Alphys, so if thats the case is kanako swaped with monster kid?
Ding ding ding! Correct for all of those!
Also, bonus Kanako sprite!
Okey this is a funny though i had, but what if frisk appears in the Dunes? Does chujin the awesome get a third child?
Tbh, I hadnt even THOUGHT about how Frisk would fit into this, but your ask got me brainstorming
So yes. Chujin does get a third human child!
He has no idea how he got there. But hes very happy!
His dislike of humans is verry dull at this point. Hes still angry about Monsterkind being trapped underground, and he still wants Monsterkind to be free and for Kanako to see the sun, but he loves his kids too much to even consider letting them face Asgore.
Also, timeskip designs! Woo! At this point, its been 4 years since Chord fell and almost 2 since Clover fell.
Some info on the kiddos :] I'll make a post about Chujins carpentry job soon
Now that Chord got adopted by the Ketsukane, can we have Clover getting adopted too? on a more serious note how does things go after that, especially if later when Clover comes around does Chujin start his legacy.
It was definitely a littttle shocking for Clover to walk into Oasis Valley, only to see one of the missing humans in the middle of town. Chord is ecstatic to see another human, and immediately begins introducing himself and Kanako to them. Kanako is also VERY excited to see another human.
Chord would probably start arguing with Martlet, calling her plan to take Clover to Asgore "dumb," since Asgore would kill Clover, and insisting they stay with him in Oasis Valley. Martlet would be against that, wanting Clover to go home, and Kanako would run to grab Ceroba to deescalate the situation.
Ceroba would offer Clover a place to stay while they figure out what to do, and Chujin would come home from work to see an extra human in his house.
He'd be hesitant, but willing to let Clover stay, since in this universe, he and Chord talked it out and he was able to see from their perspective, instead of having to come to his own conclusions about why Chord killed so many monsters. And since Clover hasnt gained any EXP, he'd be more trusting of them.
Hed have no interest in taking Clovers soul, as he hasnt even considered the possibility of turning regular monsters into boss monsters.
Ceroba would introduce Clover to Starlo, and he'd be thrilled to see another human, especially one whos dressed like a cowboy. Its worth noting that Chord and Starlo are very close, and Chord likes dressing up in cowboy wear. But hes definitely closer with his parents.
Clover and Starlo, however, are like two peas in a pod. Theyd grow close incredibly quickly, and Clover would end up making the decision to live with the Ketsukanes.
More info + sketches under the cut
Clover would quickly begin to see Ceroba, Chujin, and Starlo as parents, and Chord and Kanako as siblings. This is definitely one of the best outcomes Clover could've gotten, as they still become deputy of the Wild East (without any fighting, since Chujin and Chord would reign Starlo in), and get to live happily with their new parents and siblings.
First time Clover called Chujin "dad"
Starlo reacted more or less the same
Ceroba hasnt appeared yet in this au, so here she is! She loves Chord and Clover as much as she loves Kanako.
Chord and Clover both grew up with crappy moms, so Cerobas kindness shocks them. They pretend they're embarrassed, but Ceroba can see right through them.
And if people are interested, ill make a post about Floweys reaction to all of this!

Your mystery question is here! :)
Moon: Does your character have a dark side? What makes their dark side come out?
Ooh, interesting. I'll answer this one for my character, Sylas, and the answer is...yes.
Sylas is young and desperate and hurting, and that sense of desperation leads him to justify certain actions which I think can count as him having a dark side.
In the very beginning of the story, Sylas finds his estranged brother's address after years of fruitless searching only to have his phone stolen by his childhood bully/frenemy and in a heat-of-the-moment type decision where he can either save her from danger or his phone (with the address pulled up) he chooses his phone and it takes him a while to even admit to the other characters that he left her behind and she needs to be rescued
Hi!
I voted for a discord server in the 50k novel challenge poll. I use discord a lot for various groups, both personal and community servers, so I wanted to offer to be an admin on the server to help with setting up and keeping everything running smoothly if Discord is what you choose to go ahead with.
I really love this idea and am looking forward to writing!
- Freyja
Thank you so much!
I’ll prob post the poll again at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb since there have been a few more interested ppl but so far discord is looking like the winner and I would def appreciate the help!!
Hi! Can you tell me more about All It’s Worth? It sounds really interesting!
Hi, I'd love to! The story is still very much in the planning stage so apologies if my explanation of it is a little scatterbrained but thanks so much for the ask :)
All It's Worth is a mainly a story about Meric- a bitter and cynical son of farmers who lives in a small, outlying village, and Myre Halcyon- the much-hated black sheep of the current ruling family (House Myre) who is treated favorably only by his mother, the sole ruler, and has a single-minded obsession with the Kingfisher myth (a myth told by the Prophets (and that is central to their religion) which promises the appearance of water and the continuation of their civilization into a utopia).
aiw is set on a small planet that is mostly a sandy desert, with eight outlying villages, 5 internal towns, and the Court at its center, referred to as SeaPoint (a common phrase being "all roads lead to SeaPoint", since the city is arranged in a large circle). House Myre occupies SeaPoint, as its matriarch is the current leader, and the 5 towns surrounding SeaPoint all have strong cultural ties to the Houses that live there (Houses: Wayle, Ayke, Toyl, Eryr, and Ruyn). Members from each of these Houses hold positions at Court, but House Myre has been in control for a long time, hence each of the 5 towns creating a sort of identity around the bloodlines of their most powerful citizens. The outlying villages don't have as much of a stake in the House drama and tend to be much poorer (and much more religious) than citizens in the 5 towns and it's quite a trek to reach the outlying villages, so its mainly just travelled by the Prophets who bring water (via wagons) from SeaPoint to these villages.
Pretty much the only way that someone from one of the 8 villages travels to SeaPoint is if they pay for passage themselves, are a merchant of some sort (and thus, have wagons to use/ride in), or are told by the Prophets that they have a Calling (which is essentially a religious apprenticeship, and as long as the Called party does the job they were Called for well, their family is sent extra water from SeaPoint).
Meric and Halcyon find themselves at odds with each other pretty much immediately, largely because Meric thinks everything the Prophets say is complete bullshit that people only believe to make themselves feel better, especially when it comes to the Kingfisher (since his entire immediate community is made up of farmers whose livelihoods depend on water, and he understands that drought on their planet is imminent and inevitable). Meanwhile Halcyon buys completely into the myth and even takes it a step father by dedicating his young life to searching for this mysterious Kingfisher (while most people in the outlying villages simply take comfort in the idea that water will come and things will somehow turn out alright and most of the rich/powerful are unconcerned). Being from a rich family, Halcyon is also very ignorant of the threats/reality of drought and this further sours Meric against him.
Meric and Hal meet first when they're children and Meric's interactions with Hal result in a botched assassination attempt, and then for the second time when Meric cons his way into the central city as a Prophet and gets wrapped up in a surprise coup against the ruling family (by revolutionaries and a few, internal usurpers from the other Houses). Very much a wrong-place, wrong-time sort of scenario for Meric, where he's only spared because Hal had recognized him and tugged him aside to question him. Thinking that they're both targets (Meric for his deceit and Hal for his blood) they flee the Court together and try to evade detection. Forced to stick together for survival, they begin learning a lot of unexpected things about each other as well as their society and its creation.
The plot largely follows their interactions with one another (after the coup) as they navigate such a sudden change in their personal circumstances, with a focus on how they ultimately spur change in the other. But their interpersonal dramas and the secrets they stumble across also have huge impacts in the social/political landscape of the planet, seemingly by accident. Free will vs fate is something I want to play with a lot in this piece, so that it could be totally believable for a reader to think Meric and Hal's contributions to the old power vs revolutionaries conflict are entirely coincidence or entirely pre-destined/fate. Ideally, the reader would only get impressions of these big political machinations happening in the background while staying focused on the personal dramas of Meric and Hal.
I also plan to base a lot of my symbolism around things I've learned about the actual Kingfisher! The religious "temples" are underground, for one, and called burrows and because it can take a pair of Kingfishers 3-7 days to build a burrow, so 7 is considered a holy number and the burrows are always 37 steps deep. The blue of their wings is also the color of House Myre. One website even mentioned that many kingfishers can eat prey that seem too large to fit in their mouths, and this has a direct parallel to Hal and his relationship with another person at Court who had power over him as a child.
A lot of the inspiration for aiw honestly came from the song Empire Now by Hozier
Anyways, I think that covers most of the set-up? I have a few scenes visualized already but most of the later plot is still up in the air. This is already so long lol but I figured id also share the singular snippet i have written out for this! pls excuse the name placeholder towards the end
I. Dear Waterfox Meric tugged at the bright, red cloth loosely knotted around his throat. The shadow of his movement stuck out oddly among the eerie line of his neighbors’, all of them dutifully pacing down the Burrow steps in silence. Torches on the left, shadows on the right, praise be the Carpal Reign. Meric saw his mother’s shadow move before he felt her dirt-stained hands on his collar, readjusting the fabric. “Don’t fuss,” she murmured. “It’s just for today.” Meric frowned and rolled his shoulders to be free of the touch. “It’s uncomfortable,” he hissed back, inching a finger between the fabric and his skin to slide the knot away from the center of his throat. The heavy thud of a hundred dusty Believers descending 37 dusty stairs in single file did little to cover the sound of their voices. Meric stuck out his tongue at the scandalized few who turned around with silent, chastising eyes. “It’s ceremonial,” his mother replied pointedly, no doubt forcing the words out from behind an appeasing smile. “To show that you are a child of the Prophets-” “Since when are you a Prophet?” Meric’s mother pulled on his ear, her shadow still leaning over his on the wall. Someone else’s wobbled with a poorly hidden laugh. Meric swatted her away again, eyes flicking away from the red, robe-clad Prophets scattered past the Burrow’s inner opening and to the rolling carts stacked high with waterskins along the back wall. “Meric, so help me-” “I know,” he said, though he left his ceremonial nuisance askew. “I know,” he repeated, quieter and to himself. The line continued marching forward until there was no one between Meric and Prophet -name-, who looked just the same as he had when he left for his travels four months ago and nothing at all like he had when he was seventeen and fun and the son of the farmer’s nextdoor. Those fields were barren, now. No one left to till them.
