Wow... that was one hell of a story. I've been scrounging for fics portraying this side of Sans, and how every character's emotions build so much depth, but others sounded angsty and not just right, y'know?

Absolutely loved your portrayal of this classic characters - soooo very rounded.

Thank you for gracing us with this fic.

Take care if yourself, wherever you are. Stay determined, 'kay? It's the best you can strive for.

- elicas :D

Thank you so much for creating this art! No only did I enjoy the story but also I believe this work has changed my life at some point. Whoever wrote this must be a wonderful person.

Thanks for writing this! I can’t find a lot of accurate ptsd stuff for sans, so I enjoyed it. :)

Best fanfic I have read in a while

Wow.

Before I say anything, I want to speak up and say that this fic is one of the greatest things I have ever read. It's put me through so many emotional loops, and the plot was so well done and paced just right. What really gets me though, is the end, and the talk of mental struggles. I will admit, I found this fic trying to project, and I will admit again that it was perfect. Not just as a way to vent or project or anything, but more as an escape. Your world reads so fresh, so real, it's inspired me to write my own fic, one day I want to be just as good a writer as you!

I absolutely adore this story. Love it so much. Good work

Great fanfic! One of the best I'd be lying if I said you didn't match how I would presume how sans would handle his depression!

FINALLY A FANFIC WHERE SANS VETS OUT OFAN AWKWARD SITUATION BY TELEPORTING you've earned my respect lol but I guess that isn't a hard feat so...

Hey. Thanks for writing this. It was really powerful and I enjoyed reading it. So ye. Thanks.

Funny that you worked on Undertale the Musical because watching (all of two or three days ago) that was what got me to look into the game as a whole. Also to read the fanfiction. I would not have read your story if I had not watched the musical because I wouldn't have been interested enough in Undertale to even thing of browsing this part of the site. Due to the fact that I bought my current laptop a year or two before stream games became a thing and so is not capable of running them chances are good that I'll never actually play Undertale. Don't have the tech available to support it. However, I'm not going to let that stop me from appreciating these characters and their stories.

Writing as therapy. Amazing how effective it is, isn't it? In my case, I don't do so for depression (it's never been worse than just a general feeling of listlessness and an inability to focus for me) or my anxiety disorder (that's what READING fanfiction is for. Escapism thou art my lord and savior and I shall never abandon thee. For thou art my comfort and keep me functional). I have other issues. Mostly based around my inability to get over my rage from years of being bullied up until graduating high school. I can't let any of it go. So I got where Sans was coming from with his own inability to let go of his anger. I still can't. Doubt I ever really will. I mean, I'm holding a grudge against a GOAT that ate the free ice cream coupon on my Dairy Queen kid's meal box from when I was maybe four or five. I'm currently 32. If I can't let go of something that petty, there is no way I'm going to be able to let go of what basically amounted to years of psychological torture. I do see a therapist, and we have talked about this on several occasions. Of course, we end up talking about the issues that come with my being autistic and struggling to understand everyone else who isn't me. Writing helps with that too, though they are more private rants that will never go anywhere other than my laptop's hard drive. Where was I even going with this? Oh yeah. I get the whole writing as therapy thing. Because I have issues too, but so does everyone else. If they claim otherwise...they're lying. And there goes my cynicism again...and I'm rambling... I still have a problem with that... Must keep working on it!

This was an enjoyable read. I will probably read it many times over again because that's just how I am with the stories I like.

This whole thing has been great. The quality of writing has been one of the most consistently high that I've seen in a fanfiction, and the story progression has been awesome. Just, I remember when this first came out and I was steeped in the Undertale community. It seemed like this was gonna be just another one of those "San's is depressed" stories, but I figured that it was "pretty good so far", and stuck with it. From there, the characters continued to develop, and I kept coming back to check on the story even as I started falling out of the rest of the Undertale fandom. I also really liked these last few chapters. The way you allowed the characters to all develop and learn what they needed to do naturally really sold this ending for me. Overall, thanks for putting this together, it's been a great experience.

P.S. Congrats on getting picked up by Internet Remix, and I hope they treat you well.

P.P.S. If this is the last Undertake fanfic you end up writing, I'm glad it was this one.

I wasn't logged in when I reviewed this, so I figured that I could continue ranting about how great this experience was. Some stories just linger in your mind, even after you finished reading them, and, for me, this is one of them. I hope that you can find your happiness like Sans and Frisk did. Keep on being a great author 3 3

I LOVED this story! It was so well written and beautiful. I'm really grateful that you shared this with us. It seemed so personal and raw at some parts, so I think it may have been hard to write- some of it was hard to read, but in a good way, like with Sans' depression and repressed feelings. My favorite scene was the fight scene between Sans and Undyne- it was so cool!

*hugs* this was a beautiful epilogue to a wonderful story. I hope this finds you well and if not I’m rootin fer ya bud

Thank you for taking the time to write this story! I really enjoyed it and its journey and message. Sans is my favorite Undertale character, so I love it when I find a well-written fanfiction about him.
(Also I love Soriel and I am so happy you ship it too).
Frisk's character (as well as Chara's) was really well done in this. I like how you took more of a middleground instead of 'they're a saint' or 'they're evil' or whatever. As much as I enjoy a well-written evil Chara, I prefer the well-written Chara with good intentions but bad ways of reaching those motives. You also wrote Alphys really well and I am so happy for that because like, no one writes Alphys well. Well, I'm sure that's not true, but from what I've seen that's the case. And Papyrus was perfectly adorable and Asgore was written well and Toriel was great and this story made me love Undyne a lot more and Asriel was great and I just absolutely LOVED Sans in this.
...
Thank you. Seriously. Bit of a sappy story, but when I found this fic I was in a pretty deep depression episode. I had just moved cross-country to a new school, a new family, a new environment and everything and everyone I knew was just kind of gone... I didn't want to talk to anyone, I didn't want to bother anyone with what I thought was a pathetic issue.
This fic gave me some sort of connection again. I felt like I could relate (although I really couldn't, now considering things). And...well, it made me happy. I had something that made me eager to wake up again.
Sorry for the rambling. Thank you a lot and I hope you keep on writing and have a great life!
Stay Determined, okay?
