bahahaha I love that side of you so it’s okay ❤
Slow Burn: Fell!Pap, just for you 😉 I just realized that I picked a slow burn for this in this one too: https://sesurescue.tumblr.com/post/172434062895/slow-burn-fake-date-enemies-to-lovers-edge So I guess lemme think of something different haha.
Okay, try this one for size. So surface world, monsters find jobs yeah? Swap!Pap finds a perfect job for himself: being a cuddle buddy. It’s literally everything he could want in a job: he can lay down all day, sleep whenever he wants, and just exist while someone cuddles him.
One day a rough skeleton enters for a cuddle session and gets Swap!Pap. Said rough skeleton–who says his name is edge, which surprisingly fits his look–complains about how his brother made him come and why would he sit around for an hour and do absolutely nothing where there are SO MANY OTHER THINGS he could be doing?! Swap!Pap, already kind of slightly peeved that his relaxing atmosphere is being overrun by this jittery guy, convinces Edge to just try laying down and seeing how it feels, and the strangest thing happens: Edge fucking purrs.
Swap!Pap is smitten by this unexpected cute side of him. Embarrassed, Edge leaves and vows to never return, but ofc he comes back, how else would the slow burn happen? hahaha
Fake Date: Canon Grillby. Okay the BF literally just gave me this idea because he was reminded of an episode of Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures with a similar event lololol.
So imagine, surface world Swap Papyrus goes to Grillby’s restaurant for the first time. I figure the monsters have been on the surface for awhile so it ends up being a pretty nice place, a popular hot spot (heh) for humans that wanna mingle with monsters. Because there’s like zero tables available on this busy fucking friday night, Swap!Pap sits at the bar and orders some sort of drink or beer or something from Grillby, who he finds quiet, yet approachable.
Enter in a group of humans that go to the bar and find Swap!Pap very very attractive, so they flirt hard. Asking him about his species, what he likes to do, blah blah. Swap!Pap is getting anxious and overwhelmed but of course he didn’t come there with anyone else, so he panics and blurts out the first thing that comes to mind. “i’m here with my fiance!”….while pointing at Grillby.
Thankfully Grillby has some experience with this sort of thing and smoothly falls into his role 😉
Enemies to Lovers: Fell Grillby. I really love writing these guys hating each other omg. But I can’t think of any scenarios wtf….
Okay, let’s try this. Barista/Coffeeshop AU. Swap!Pap goes to get some sweet sweet glucose with some milk one day, so he goes to a coffeeshop, and he meets one of the regular baristas, the tall drink of skeleton, Edge. He’s instantly smitten so he’s trying to flirt with him, getting to know him and shit. Edge is all business and gives him his drink, and Swap!Pap goes to his table to rethink his strategy because he isn’t letting that hot guy walk away.
While he’s thinking a new guy sits himself down at his table, a large, purple fire elemental who tells him in no uncertain terms that he has a stake on Edge and there’s no way some fucking plain ass skeleton in a hoodie is going to beat him.
Cue Stretch and Fell!Grillby fighting for Edge’s attention, getting increasingly more weird and invasive about it to the point of both of them playing a boombox loudly on Edge’s front lawn. Now, instead of Edge coming out to yell at them, some new guy appears and tells them that he’s edge’s husband and they’re ‘really being quite loud so if you wouldn’t mind leaving and never coming back, thanks.’
They’re both sad and decide to drown their troubles in alcohol, and well, drunken shenanagians ensue.
Oh my god no, I love these too much.
Seriously! All of these ideas are so adorable–must. not. get. inspiration!
Damn you! I especially love the last one. “Fighting over another person before realising there’s actually some intense sexual chemistry between us” is one of my favourites.
EDIT: And holy shit! How could I forget to mention the professional cuddle buddy? What a pure profession!
