Sanders Sides Fanfic Masterlist

OMaM Series:

Ships in Series: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus

Of Monsters and Men (omam): Not everyone can pay for college, so it's not unheard of to join the military for the expenses. But despite careful planning and no real interest in the military, plans can go awry. The rise of the zombie apocalypse and vampire attacks were definitely not in these boys plans, especially since they can no longer persue their dreams, right? We'll see.

Neither Deity nor Man (ndnm): (SEQUEL TO "OF MONSTERS AND MEN") Death isn't always the end. It can be a new beginning as well. This is true for Janus. But even in death, there is trouble that lies in wait. Hiding in the dark. Can our boys come out on top? Or will they face a Fate worse than death?

Neither Gone nor Forgotten (ngnf): (TAKES PLACE AFTER "NEITHER DEITY NOR MAN" THIRD BOOK IN SERIES, FIRST BOOK IS "OF MONSTERS AND MEN") After choosing to be reborn, our favorite boys are scattered apart without their memories. Reborn in a new world where some are born with a superpower gene, or created to be supers. Will our boys survive such a world? Will they meet again? Or, once again, will their lives end much too soon?*

Easter Eggs and Epilogues (eeae): Having become deities and gaining access to the multiverse, our favorite boys now witness other universes and guide them to the afterlife as they discover what it means to no longer be human and navigate through issues they had ignored as new issues erupt around them. Fans of my stories might find this infrequent epilogue mini series a nice read. Especially if they have read my sanders sides au Of Monsters and Men, its sequel Neither Deity nor Man, and the triquel Neither Gone nor Forgotten, as these characters might have little easter egg appearances in some of my other works. This does contain spoilers to my other works, so proceed with caution. Due to the nature of this mini series it will have extremely infrequent updates due to it being full of epilogues of specific stories.*^

HoE Series:

Ships in Series: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus

Hell on Earth (hoe): In a small town isolated by mountains, demon possession is on the rise. Right when two kids find themselves in the town after the suspicious death of their parents. Convenient timing or total coincidence, the town has its eyes on Roman and Remus. Are they connected to the rise in demonic activity? Will they be safe? No one knows.

Heaven on Earth (hoe2): (SEQUEL TO "Hell on Earth) Having escaped from a recluse town known as Hell's Portal and a murderous priest, their friend died as they made it to the safety of a town known to be Heaven's Gate. But danger is still out there. Secrets have still yet to be uncovered. A friend back from the dead. But is everything as it seems?*

RaF Series:

Ships in Series: Roman x Virgil, Remus x Janus, Logan x Patton

Rise and Fall (raf): After getting hired to capture a wandering merchant suspected to be a monster, Roman sets out to find him. Taking on his first task as a monster hunter, he must travel far and fast to catch up with the merchant. With his best friend at his side, who will he meet on his journey and what secrets will he discover?

Risen to Fall (raf2/rtf): (Sequel to Rise and Fall) Having found a promised land, the twins raise their families in safety until danger knocks at their door. Secrets of the past and cults alike will force them into action to save themselves and future generations.*

FoF Series:

Ships in Series: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus

Fact or Fiction (fof): An isolated mountain town surrounded by deep forests has some interesting rumors and tourist attractions. Tales of an inhuman creature terrorizing those who come across it, if they leave alive. Logan decides to move in and discover the truth.

Everyone Fucking Dies (efd): (SEQUEL TO FACT OR FICTION) In a new dimension, scattered and hunted, who survives? Who dies? Will they ever return home? Or will they have to live in a world if eldritch monsters?

Strange Happenings (shtl): Janus and Virgil move back to their hometown. While Virgil is at college, Janus has an investigation to conduct under the strict orders of his mother. He knows what will happen if he refuses her. What will he discover? What secrets will unravel? (an alternate timeline for Fact or Fiction and Everyone Fucking Dies)

SOS Series:

Ships in Series: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus

School of Secrets (sos): A secret boarding school in the center of the Bermuda Triangle has accepted a new batch of students. Each one harbouring a secret or two that could get them killed outside of the school. Although not every child taken to the island attends the school, the island is protected by school staff from impending doom. Hunters and war alike threaten the children, will they be able to see a future free of harm, to be themselves?

Unintended Consequence: Things have changed. One decision with unintended consequences made Remus immortal, with only Virgil at his side, they watched their friends die. After countless years, with their mental health deteriorating, they see a familiar face. What happens when two immortals meet their friends' reincarnations?

GaG Series:

Ships in Series: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus

Gifts and Gifted (gag): After the tragic death of their parents, brothers Roman and Remus moved to a new state, new city, to get a fresh start. They try to assimilate in this odd historic town, getting new jobs and friends, but they also find some people they can't stand or are simply suspicious. But circumstances force them together and many secrets come to light.

Fae and Man (FAM): Sequel to Gifts and Gifted, Fae and human relations are difficult. Patton has taken over his grandma's business of finding and helping the fae home, Remus helping in hiding them after taking over the mortuary from Logan's uncle. If that wasn't difficult enough, Remus is going through strange changes and Virgil is struggling to adjust to being human. Will they suffer in silence or ask for help? What conflicts will arise?

New Normal (NN): (Takes place after Fae and Man, third book in the GaG series) After secrets have been unveiled and the world forever changed by the merging of realms, how will everyone fare under this new normal? Will the Fae still be hunted? Will humans be subjected to abuse? Will selkies still be at risk of being trapped? How will so many different species interact with each other? Will there be peace or war?

SOAB! Au:

Ships in Series: Logan x Patton x Janus

Son of a Bitch (soab): Patton and his son have moved into a new town. The once hopeful move turned sour when two chance encounters throws everything off course. A fight and a mix up leading to three single dads making an unfortunate acquaintance. (Where everything started)

SOAB! Rocky Start: Virgil is sent to a new foster parent. Logan does his best, but it's a rocky start. (Takes place before Son of a Bitch)

SOAB! Yuletide Fun: The kids are on winter break and Logan and Janus are feeling the holiday blues. They miss their families despite everything, luckily, Patton has an idea and a good relationship with his own family. So he decides to introduce his parents to his partners and their kiddos. What holiday mischief will happen? What stories will Patton's parents' tell about their now grown little boy? (Takes place after Son of a Bitch)

SOAB! Take a Bite out of Life: (Takes place before the events of Son of a Bitch) Janus has been running his restaurant for nearly two years in the town he grew up in. Stressed, depressed, and having recently cut off his family, he has thrown himself into his work. He doesn't know what to do with his life or himself, but when he gets his first catering order for the local orphanage, everything changes for the better. He never planned to be a father, but maybe it's time for him to take a bite out of life?

SOAB! Surprise Attack: (Takes place after Son of a Bitch) Virgil is still getting used to his new family and being part of a family that genuinely loves him. But it is nearing November 8th, his birthday. A day he is certain will be forgotten. With how his family is acting and the hushed whispers that cut off right when he enters the room, he fears the worse. No one mentions the whispers or his birthday, he's afraid and trying not to show it as his anxiety eats at him. As he questions if they still want him to be part of their family. What will ensue?

SOAB! Police Station, Fire Station, and Apartment: (Takes place before the events of Son of a Bitch) How did the twins end up in separate orphanages? Why was Virgil placed in foster care? Who were their family before they were adopted? Let's take a peek into the past.

SOAB! Gender? Fuck!: (Takes place after Son of a Bitch) Gender can be confusing and hard to navigate. Virgil and Roman are struggling, Remus forgot something important, and they navigate it together. Some changes, confusion, and stress won't stop them from supporting each other.

SOAB! Cupcakes and Dragons: (takes place before Son of a Bitch) How did Roman come into Patton’s care? Patton Cross wasn’t always a baker. One night of work changed his life. He’d always say it was for the better. And it was. He discovered a passion and discovered his little Star.

Stand Alone Stories:

Win or Lose (wol): Ships: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus Life was a series of battles, win or lose, they would have to fight again. Sometimes, they could rest before they fought once more, sometimes they could not. One day, they face a new discovery, a new challenge. Will they win or lose?

Out of this World (ootw): Ships: Roman x Virgil, Logan x Remus, Patton x Janus In a small desert town, a UFO has landed. While the local government explores the crash, an extraterrestrial being is on the run with time sensitive information trying to leave and stop an intergalactic war. An unlikely group of friends might be the key to saving thousands of lives. Secrets will be revealed, some new, some old. Lies will come undone. Will this group of unlikely friends survive it all?*

Knife to Meet You (ktmy): Ships: Roman x Virgil, one sided Virgil x Patton, one sided Patton x Logan, Remus x Janus x Logan Four years ago, a steady but concerning statistic rose. Murders. New information comes to light, revealing that these seemingly unconnected murders are actually the product of an infamous serial killer. Tensions are high, stress is high, and there's something in the air. What will happen? Who is this mysterious killer? And who is next?*

Ghost of You: Ships: Logan x Virgil, Remus x Patton, Roman x Janus Karma comes in many different forms, sometimes it is even passed down. When an old house is passed down, more than just a new home is inherited. Surely an old house only needs some repairs? But its new occupants will wish they'd hired an exorcist. Will the ghosts and mortals learn to coexist or will they destroy each other?*

Running Out of Time (root): Ships: Remus x Logan, Janus x Patton, Roman x Virgil Time is unraveling. A time traveler is trying to save the known universe, but at what cost? Will the world be saved? Is the world even worth saving? Six people will have to make that decision.

Body in the Water (bitw): Ships: Remus x Logan, Patton x Janus, Virgil x Roman Summer school is supposed to be easy. But with strange deadly accidents and rumors of ghosts filling the air, maybe hope for a decent college is a farther reach than Roman bargained for?

Son of a Witch (soaw): Ships Janus x Patton x Logan On the run from the king's guards, Janus finds refuge in a dangerous neck of the enchanted woods. But he isn't alone. What else lurks in the woods? Will he get out alive? Is he in for more than he bargained for?

Forgotten Gods (fg): Ships: Remus x Janus, Patton x Logan, Roman x Virgil The gods of old are no longer needed, no longer known. Did they simply fade away or do they still lurk around the corner? What happens when a god is forgotten? What happens when a new god appears?

Stolen? Borrowed? Same Thing. (sbst): Ships: Janus x Remus, Patton x Logan, Roman x Virgil Borrowers, Pixies, and Brownies have always lived under human's noses. Each one thinking the other is a myth. Each one views humans as an enemy, a tool, or a friend. What happens when they all meet? Will the four species get along?

Coffee and Zombies (CaZ): Ships: Janus x Patton Life and Death, two very contrast things. Or are they? In the zombie apocalypse, what is death? What is life? Is anyone truly living? A scientist searching for a cure to his mistake, a firefighter bent on helping survivors, two supernatural brothers struggling to adapt and survive, and two brothers who desperately want to rest and find safety. Will they survive?

Currently Writing:

New Normal (NN): Ships: Patton x Janus, Remus x Logan, Roman x Virgil (Takes place after Fae and Man, third book in the GaG series) After secrets have been unveiled and the world forever changed by the merging of realms, how will everyone fare under this new normal?

Will there be peace or war?

Aperture Sides Facility Masterpost

Hello, and welcome again to the Aperture Science Facility. We hope you have had a pleasant rest and are feeling reinvigorated and ready to begin testing. The test chambers are of course designed to be healthy and fun, but be aware that Aperture Science is not liable for any broken bones, poisonings, moderate to severe burns, electrocutions, or bullet wounds that may occur from failure to follow safety guidelines.

Thomas has no memory before waking in an abandoned laboratory run by a sarcastic AI with a worrying lack of concern for his well-being. Navigating the AI’s hazardous “tests” and escaping to the world above seems a nearly insurmountable task, but it is one that Thomas quickly finds he will not have to face alone. But in Aperture Science’s underground world of mind-bending puzzles, physics-defying portals and friendly bots with mysterious pasts, friend and foe may not be as clear cut as they seem...

A Sanders Sides Portal au.

This is my submission for the @ts-storytime 2021 Big Bang! I was partnered with the amazing artist @littlebigmouse, who created an absolutely fantastic art piece you can see right here.

“Begin testing.”

I got carried away with some Portal AU designing stuff and decided to colour in this sketch of Logan in this AU, who is essentially the equivalent of GLaDOS. This is the Logical Order Governance Intelligence Network or LOGIN for short!

Sorry I’ve been dead for a while, have this shitpost Portal AU

Okay legit tho, I was listening to Still Alive for the first time in ages, and my first thought was “Man, most of GLaDOS’ lines are so Janus-y...”

And then this AU throttled me so hard for the next like, half hour, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Also like??? Come on, you literally have a character called Ratman ffs.

Sanders sides fanfic/fanart prompt

Portal 2 au!! Roman as Chell, Virgil as Wheatley, and Logan as GLaDOS. Maybe you could even put in a little twist in there and let Virgil get uncorrupted before flying out into space, that way he can actually get a happy ending. (Pshhhhh, No I'm definatly not bitter about Wheatley getting stuck in space, totally not)

I have so many things I want to write and I’m trying to figure wait what to do so this is me talking to myself you may continue scrolling Okay so literally everything I want to write is from a different fandom which doesn’t help at all because I love all of them!

What I want to start

Mobius knows Asgaurdian (is that how you spell it?) which Loki doesn’t know he does fluff ensues

Virgil confronts Orange who is possessing Logan it’s really vague and tense- new content ✨

Menu screen Chloe from DBH seeing the world, I got a timeline/plot set/in mind already

TGWDLM crossover with DC like guys where is it?! Paul is legit black haired with blue eyes it’s perfect- anyways it would be batfamily 100%

Something with Shazam I haven’t written him yet and he seems fun not sure what I would do though

Something with a mermaids/sirens/sea monsters the works I just really want to idk why… OH WAIT it’s probably because I saw Luca! So maybe a Luca au of legit any fandom I know

Resident Alien but it’s Paul Mathews and Emma Perkins with some twists!

An au where Davey from Newsies is part Dragon and I swear this has plot (aka low key want to make it a marvel crossover as well)

Be more chill but the characters are in the Marvel universe trying not to die+it’s nice SQUIP like in the book

A weird story I wanted to write about SCP -369 but I think it’s turning into poetry

The started ones

My ongoing fan fiction “What” Like I need to write a timeline for it and what I’m covering via writing started it without a would plan yet where we are 20 chapters in-

Umbrella Academy and Sanders sides crossover, I have lthe prologue done I just need to start the actual storyline and oh boy sort a complicated timeline

My Portal and DBH crossover that has a bizillion notes, timeline, character plans/arcs and snippets but not one full chapter

“To Live Is To Die” is done but also not done? Feels like it needs some sort of closure not sure what though

It’s not posted here but I have a really weird story called “c u p ?” It was supposed to be a joke but now it’s some poetry crap, I guess this is me wondering if I should put it on here XD

I should probably work on my ocs tbh

If you read that whole thing please help me decide on what to write I’m drowning it’s like having too many options of icecream

Ah well that was not.. good.

Context: So Remus, being the human he is, makes “suggestive” (I tried I’m sorry) comments about the big Guy just off handedly. Meanwhile, Virgil (Angel? of Shits and Giggles) has caught ear of some human making some prayer-adjacent things, and he decides to show up to see who takes the time out of their life to say that. So he pops up out of nowhere (as far as Remus can tell anyway) and asks his question, which in turn, scares the shit out of Remus.

I guess this counts as some sort of first meeting? At least that’s what I had in mind during the while making this.

All that glitters is not gold, part 1 (Sanders Sides Fanfic)

Summary: LumaDale, the most magical place of your dreams. A theme park that claims to transport to a realm where real magic exists. When Thomas gets a sponsorship, of course he can’t turn down the chance to see it in person. Once he gets there, it feels like stepping into a magical dream. But dreams can quickly turn to nightmares, and some dreams can be hard to wake from.

Notes: I am actually so excited to finally post this! Fun fact: the original idea came from a dream one night.

Also a huge thanks to everyone in the TSS Fanworks Collective that helped brainstorm! Neil, fangirl, cherry, and alicat especially, y’all are amazing.

No TWs this chapter, but later chapters will get darker.

Part 2

AO3 link

~*~

“What is up, everybody?” Thomas did his signature intro, smiling at the vlog camera. “Today I am at LumaDale, the most magical place of your dreams, and the sponsor of this video!” He turned in a slow circle to show the gates— LumaDale written above in large ornate letters with medieval-style watchtowers on both sides. “I am so grateful to be here and have the opportunity to share the experience with all of you! I’ve heard a lot about this place and I’m so excited to see what it’s all about!”

Thomas walked up to the line, taking in his surroundings as he waited to be admitted inside. The place was packed, far busier than he expected for some niche theme park Renaissance fair thing. The buildings seemed of good quality too, with a bit of a Disneyworld feel overall. He made sure to give the camera a good view.

Soon enough he reached the gatehouse window. “Oh, hi, Thomas Sanders here, I got an email—“

“You’re good to go,” the person at the gate said, passing him a lanyard with a media pass. “Boss said you’d be coming. Enjoy your day!”

“Thank you!” Thomas smiled and waved, putting the lanyard on and stepping into some sort of town square.

There were a few touristy souvenir shops— which he’d probably check out later— as well as a snack booth selling something deep fried, a guest services building, bathrooms, usual things you’d expect.

But what stood out to him most was another long line leading up to a giant glowing circle. A sign read “Step through the portal to a new land!”

Thomas got into line and slowed to a stop, staring in awe at the glowing circle. The special effects were hyper realistic, rainbow sparks flying and swirling around. “Oh my gosh, are you seeing this?” He made sure to catch it on camera. The line of people ahead walked through the glowing circle and just… vanished. Must be some sort of mirror trick.

An announcement crackled through the speakers as he got closer to the portal. “Reminder for all travelers going through the portal: there will be no cell reception or wifi on the other side. Short-range communicators are available upon request to stay in contact with your group. Not all stores on the other side accept credit or debit cards; we suggest you bring some cash if you intend to shop. People who are pregnant, nursing, prone to motion sickness or vertigo, are advised not to go through the portal. No photography is allowed within the portal, but you are more than welcome to take photos and video on the other side! Enjoy your trip and make it a magical day!”

“Huh weird… well I’ll keep the video going for as long as I can,” Thomas said with a shrug, taking out his phone to shoot a quick text to Joan that he’d be unavailable for the next few hours.

Once he got close enough, Thomas turned off the camera and scrambled a bit to put it away in time. The portal was even more impressive close up. There was no heat, no fog, just a rainbow vortex and a bit of wind.

“So I just… keep walking?”

“Yes, sir. Just walk on through. You might feel a bit dizzy, but there’s water on the other side if you need it. It’s perfectly safe!”

Thomas smiled nervously. “Okay… great…” He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Suddenly he was floating, suspended in midair, surrounded by nothing but the swirling rainbow. All sound was eerily muffled, subdued.

Then there was a flash of light.

Thomas stumbled forward, opening his eyes to a pathway between two rustic buildings, and yet another long line of people ahead of him. To his right was a stall with an awning, like something out of a Renaissance faire, with water canteens.

“Would you like one?” The attendant asked, dressed in a medieval-looking gown. “Complimentary souvenir canteen, with fresh cold water. It’ll help with the dizziness.”

Thomas blinked. “Uh… sure,” he said, accepting the offered canteen and taking a sip.

Once he felt slightly more grounded, he took out the camera. “Sorry about that! I’m back now, and wow was that an experience!” Thomas smiled at the camera and panned to his surroundings.

The line continued to a colorful red-green-gold tent, and once Thomas was close enough he realized it was a character meet and greet. Under the awning, there were two costumed people with shimmering dragonfly wings and elf ears. One was dressed in pearly white and ruby red, with a dazzling gold crown. The other had a grotesquely twisted mask, wearing tattered black and green robes.

“Greetings, good sir! Welcome to LumaDale,” the regal one announced with a flourish. “I am Prince Roman, and this is my brother Remus. We wish you a most magical day!”

“Wow, I love your costume! It’s so intricate,” Thomas complimented, posing for the picture.

“Thank you! I made it myself,” Roman boasted with a smile, then looked up at the vlog camera. “You have brought your own portrait-making device?”

“Portrait making….?” Thomas blinked. “Oh! The camera. Yep! It also does moving pictures.”

“Fantastic!”

Remus made a muffled sound and gestured in what seemed to be an urgent manner.

The smile on Roman’s face faltered a tiny bit. “Do you work for LumaDale on the other side?” he asked in a much quieter voice.

Thomas frowned slightly, confused by their concern. Maybe it was a LARP quest kind of thing? “Uhh no, I’m just vlogging my visit. I’m a YouTuber, an entertainer.”

“An entertainer!” Roman exclaimed with a flourish, excited once more. “Oh how fabulous! I myself adore the arts, most especially theater!”

“Sweet! I’m also an actor,” Thomas replied.

“You are blessed indeed! If only I could step on stage once more—“ Roman sighed wistfully, but Remus interrupted with more sharp gestures.

Thomas glanced between them. “Is… everything alright?”

Roman forced a smile. “Of course! My brother is simply… impatient to meet the next guest! Can’t keep them waiting too long. Until we meet again, good sir!” He bowed with another flourish.

Thomas bowed awkwardly in return and left the tent, glancing back at the vlog camera. “Well, here goes!”

Across from the tent was a castle of sorts. There was an old stone tower in the back, turreted at the top like a medieval castle. In the center of the building was a bell tower. The front of the building had ornate pillars and colorful banners.

Thomas stared at it for a moment, then turned left and started to wander, taking in the sights and sounds.

This side of the portal was less Disney and more stepping straight into a fantasy movie, like Narnia or Lord of the Rings. Nothing cartoony about it.

It was a medieval-style village, but what stood out most were the inhabitants. Colorful costumes of mythical creatures of all kinds. Magic swirled through the air.

A centaur waved to him with a smile. “Would you like a tour of the town, kiddo?”

“Sure, why not?” Thomas carefully climbed into the carriage the centaur was pulling, but he couldn’t help staring. The centaur was… terribly realistic. Uncannily realistic. It couldn’t be a robot, or a person in costume. That was definitely a person’s torso on top of a horse body. It even smelled like a horse. How?

“Sir? You okay back there?” The centaur asked.

Thomas blinked and shook his head. “Uh yeah, I’m fine! I’ve just… uh… never seen a centaur before.”

The centaur giggled. “Well now you have! I’m Patton!”

“Thomas. Nice to meet you,” he said, trying not to stare too much.

“Get ready to see our wand/erful town!” Patton said with a smile.

Thomas smiled at the pun and tried to get more comfortable in the carriage. Patton started walking at a steady pace along the road, pointing to various things they passed.

“On your right is Dorian’s smithy. He’s got the sharpest tools in the shed!”

“Across from that is Burgundy Red’s Breads! She makes purrrfeft baked goods of all kinds!” Patton glanced back at him. “Burgundy is part tiger, like a cat lady. Get it? Purr-fect? Like a cat!”

“Next door is Remy’s tavern! Nice and homely. I always say, if it ain’t brew-ken, don’t fix it!”

“The castle in the center of town has stood for many generations, thousands of years. It’s not worth the castle to rebuild it, so each new ruler adds their own royal flair to the existing foundation.”

“Beyond the buildings you see are the fields and orchards. Wheat take great pride in our produce!”

“And here are the shops, where you can find unique homemade gifts to bring home!”

“Over in that shadowy corner is an a-maze-ing labyrinth, said to be haunted by creepy crawly death-dealers!”

Patton slowed to a stop. “And that’s where our tour ends! If you’d like a ride back to where we started, you can stay on. If you want to step off here, see you satyr!”

Thomas laughed at each and every joke, unable to help himself. He carefully got up and disembarked from the carriage. “That was amazing! Thanks for the tour!” he said with a smile.

“You’re welcome, kiddo! Enjoy your day!” Patton waved and maneuvered to turn around, returning to the other side of town.

After window-shopping for a bit, Thomas took a seat on a bench and addressed the camera. “Looks like I might not be able to see everything this town has to offer in one day— but that’s on me for sleeping past my alarm and not expecting lines,” he said with a sheepish smile. “But if this video does well enough, maybe we’ll get lucky enough to be invited back for a part two! So do all the YouTube things— I know, I know, but I gotta say it— like, comment, subscribe if you haven’t already! And if you want to check out LumaDale for yourself, go to the website in the description and put in my promo code right here—“ Thomas gestured towards where he imagined a code might appear, making a mental note to add the actual code during editing. “— and you’ll get 15% off your tickets!”

“Fascinating,” a stranger’s voice said.

Thomas glanced over to see someone covered in blue and black feathers, with a beak-like mask. Or maybe it was a real beak? Probably real. “Oh, hi!! Didn’t see you there.”

The bird-person pointed to the camera. “That device. Might I hold it? It is very… shiny.”

“Uh… sure? It’s just a camera,” Thomas said with a shrug, holding the camera out to the bird-person. “Be careful with it.”

The bird-person took the camera and inspected it curiously, poking at it and bringing it close to his face. “You were taking to it. Are there people inside?” he inquired.

Thomas chuckled and shook his head. “Nope, it just records things. People will watch it later, and they’ll hear what I say then.”

The bird-person stared at the camera. “Fascinating,” he repeated.

A guard walked up and cleared his throat. “Is this creature bothering you, sir? It is a known thief.”

The bird-person froze and hastily shoved the camera back at Thomas.

“No, no, it’s okay! He just wanted to see my camera,” Thomas said quickly, trying to de-escalate the situation before it got worse. “I let him hold it. We’re all good here! Thank you for your concern.”

The guard looked between them skeptically, then shrugged. “Very well,” he said, walking off a moment later.

“Thank you, sir, you are very kind,” the bird-person said quietly.

“You’re welcome. Just stay out of trouble, alright?” Thomas offered a smile. “I’m Thomas.”

“My name is Logan,” the bird-person said with a quick bow.

“Pleasure to meet you, Logan! I’ll see you around.” Thomas waved, then stood and walked towards the shops Patton had mentioned.

He briefly checked the camera to make sure Logan hadn’t accidentally changed any settings. It seemed to be alright. Thomas stepped inside the nearest shop, which appeared to be selling homemade soaps and lotions and such.

“Sssee anything you like?”

Thomas turned towards the source of the voice and jumped. It was a naga, covered in gold and black scales, staring back at him with bright yellow eyes. “Ssstaring iss rude, or ssso I’ve heard,” the naga chided, then hissed and flicked his tail.

“Oh! Umm sorry. I wasn’t trying to stare, I just… have never seen anything like you before.”

“Mmm. Of courssse you haven’t.” The naga flicked his tongue. “Well, let me know if you need anything. I’m not going anywhere.”

Thomas nodded and looked back at the soap displays, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of the naga watching him the entire time. It wasn’t long before he felt creeped out enough not to linger.

“Well, um, thank you!” Thomas said over his shoulder as he headed to the door.

The naga didn’t reply, still staring at him until he was out the door.

“That wasn’t creepy at all,” Thomas muttered to the camera, walking towards the shadowy labyrinth.

It was one of the few carnival-like attractions— a hedge maze which claimed to be haunted. It was starting to get late, but surely there would be enough time to get through it and out before closing.

Unfortunately it proved far more difficult than it looked. Tall hedges, twisted paths, lack of landmarks….

There was a scurrying sound. Something large scuttling in the darkness.

Thomas froze.

That something jumped out from around a corner and snarled, fangs bared. A giant spider— with the torso and head of a man.

Thomas screamed and jumped backwards.

The spider-person laughed. “You lost? Better run,” he sneered. “Time’s running out. You don’t want to be here after dark.”

Thomas swallowed, staring at the spider-person. “Th-thanks for the warning?”

The spider-person took a few intimidating steps closer. “I said, run!”

Thomas ran. He ran until he thought he had lost his pursuer— unfortunately he had no clue where he was.

He stopped to catch his breath, looking around to try to get his bearings amid the tall briar hedges. This… probably wasn’t good. Thomas shook his head and continued walking in a random direction, hoping to stumble upon the exit.

“Alright, guys, gals, and non-binary pals, it’s getting a bit dark so sorry for the drop in video quality. I think I’ll just… put this away for a bit to focus on not being lost,” he said with a nervous chuckle, then turned off the camera, using his phone as a flashlight.

The spider-person returned some time later, but this time he looked panicked. “What are you still doing here?” he screeched.

Thomas blinked, holding up his hands to show he meant no harm. “Ummm trying to find my way out? It’s a maze. So, yeah, I’m a little lost.”

“Shit! Fuck! You’re going to miss the portal and I’m going to be blamed and— SHIT!” He tugged at his hair, his breathing fast and shallow. “No no no no… this is bad. Fuck. I’m so so dead.”

“Hey, hey, breathe. Listen to me. In for four seconds, hold for seven, out for eight. Can you do that?” Thomas took a few deep breaths to demonstrate.

“You don’t get it!”

“Okay, then explain it to me, once your breathing is back to normal.”

“There’s no time!” The spider-person hissed, glancing around frantically. “Get on my back. I’ll give you a ride.” He held out a hand.

Thomas swallowed, staring at the spider body. “Are you sure? I… uh….”

The spider-person hissed again. “Yes I’m sure! I’m not going to eat you, I’m going to get you out of this maze. Take my hand and climb on, now!”

Thomas took a deep breath, then grabbed the spider-person’s hand and carefully climbed on. “Umm how do I….?”

“Wrap your arms around me and hold on tight. I’ve never done this before, but Patton has so it can’t be too hard.”

Thomas held on tightly and squeezed his eyes shut, trying not to think of how he was precariously perched on a giant spider. He could almost pretend it was like riding a horse. Not that he had ever actually been on a horse. The wind whipped at his face as they dashed through the maze and the village.

Eventually the spider-person stopped, frozen in place. Thomas tentatively opened his eyes, then blinked a few times and glanced around. It was where he had entered the village, but there was no portal in sight. “Wait… this can’t be…”

“We’re too late,” the spider-person said hollowly. “The portal is closed. It won’t open until dawn.”

Thomas frowned and slid off the spider-person’s back. “Can’t someone just turn it back on?”

The spider-person shook his head, staring at where the portal had been. He was shaking.

Thomas cleared his throat. “So… just for clarification…”

“You’re trapped here until morning. And the boss is going to be pissed.”

The idea popped into mind, so why not? XD so here you go: THOMAS and his personality cores!

Some more about the au because I got carries away:

THOMAS was created as an AI test, but to be easier to study and modify, it was created with personality cores. It only functions as an AI with them (returning to the basic command and action program without). It is possible however, to take one or two away and it'll still have its own thoughts and response but it isn't advisable since test 1-1424.

It can feel pain, but the cores cannot.

Most of its tests consist on dilemmas and moral scenarios. Few extreme scenarios ---- ------ -------- disrupted its connection to the cores, THOMAS had the logs for them wiped to function once more. The cores however retained the memory of the incidents.

His cores have acess to his image input.

It should not be allowed to have only one of the ATER cores, see test 4-2115.

THOMAS has grown attatched to some of the cores. Has also expressed wishes to live outside of the facility as well as to be referred with he/him pronouns.

The Logic core is blocked from acessing construction logs.

Portal AU!

This one is Patton! He is a Morality Core that was responsible for the creation of all Companion Cubes and filling each one with love and feelings. He was supposed to be connected to the Mainframe, but when the Mainframe was corrupted by many of the scientists before they perished from their mistakes in the “Life Gave You Lemons” incident, it severed most of it’s Cores from itself, keeping only the Deception/Sarcasm Core (Janus) as it’s main Interface. When Thomas wakes up from cryogenics, Logan and Patton are the first Cores to help him through all of Janus’s tests because they’ve been keeping him safe and secret as the last human test subject. Because of this, Janus (corrupted by the defective and crazed Mainframe) gives Thomas a blue Companion Cube for some of the tests to incinerate after insisting they have feelings just to get under Patton’s circuits. Patton though, knows Janus is good and that it’s the Mainframe that must be hurting him and causing him to do this and he wants to help rescue him and sever their connection.
