So I know Slim will probably stay with Muffet for Broken Bones-verse, but who would be your ideal skeleton(s) to pair him with? (Feel free to pick more than one, and/or propose the fic/scenario you would write to make it happen)

Dude, you have no idea. I am so, so tempted to ditch Muffet and throw him in with Rus and Red. Honestly, though, I think Muffet will serve a good narrative purpose, so I’m keeping her. For now.

I primarily ship him with Papyrus, but I’ll ship him with Edge or Stretch too. (Or Red. Or Blue. Or Sans. Seriously, guys, I have a problem.) As for a shipfic scenario….

Slim isn’t allowed to want things. Becuase he can never have what he wants, and if he somehow manages to aquire what he desires, then he can’t keep it. So when he starts developing feelings for his best friend, he cuts ties. Stops visiting the softer universe. Stops picking up the phone. Better to break it off now. Less painful this way. 

Unfortunately, Papyrus isn’t the type to let go of his friends. (Particularly the ones he has more than  platonic feelings for.) He’s going to find out what’s going on, even if he has to go to Swapfell to do it.
