determinati0nn:

so, I’ve been finding it incredibly hard to find good papyrus-centric fic, so I decided I’d compile a list of those I’ve read. […or plan on reading; haven’t gotten around to a few of these] so, presenting… a Papyrus Angstfic Masterlist!

[heed the ao3 warnings before u read; some of these are absolutely brutal. I tried to put warnings in the summaries if the author didn’t/it’s a comic, but probably forgot some things…]:

multi-chapter:

• Flowey is Not a Good Life Coach by unrestedjade [nearly finished; popular fic involving  Suffering™ and flowey being an asshole.]
• Remembrance by Yessica [ongoing; character exploration. involves suicidal thoughts]
• I’m Feeling Fine, Kid by maximum_overboner [complete; involves papyrus, gaster, and resets. lots of sad, damaged paps over here folks]
• Husk by maximum_overboner [alternate ending to that previous fic. really debating putting this here since it’s so fucked up. pls heed the warnings jesus christ]
• tatemae by ZekeStrife [ongoing; involves post-pacifist ending paps and. Hiding Things]
• Ghosts Ain’t Dead by ZekeStrife [ongoing]

oneshots:

• Kingship, And What Comes Next by CatKing_CatKin [from the king papyrus neutral ending]
• Letters to a Friend by maximum_overboner [another king pap]
• Moving On by maximum_overboner [fluff & bonding w/a lil side of angst]
• (if you have) a bad day by ZekeStrife [angst with a lil hurt/comfort]
• sharing nightmares by ZekeStrife
• Shared Secrets by Papyarus
• Papyrus Gets Kind of Cranky Without His Bedtime Story by Papyarus [stream-of-consciousness; papyrus has nightmares]

comics/visual stuff/misc:

• handplates by zarla-s [ongoing; sans and pap are experiments of gaster’s and awful things ensue. contains abuse and violence]
• misery by zarla-s [sans is dead and papyrus is left behind]
• Something’s Missing by happikattwuzheere [ongoing/on hiatus? not explicitly pap-centric, but he’s a major part. sans is dead.]
• playbacktale by linssins [ongoing. papyrus and flowey. body sharing, horror, and violence]
• The Second Son of Gaster by SansyBones [ongoing. experiment!skelebros, warnings are in the links]
• askgasterfamily by starlightshore [ongoing, not pap-centric but again, major role in the story with a really gr8 kid!papyrus. sad family…]
• pa-pyrus by possun [probably inactive? au where pap’s in the void instead of gaster]

feel free to add onto this if you like!

I can think of a couple other oneshots to add to this:

Apathy by Papyarus (Sans POV on Papyrus being sad)

Fractured also by Papyarus (short fic about Undyne comforting Papyrus)

Theoretical Battle Scenarios by Lethotep (Papyrus remembers resets)

Toy Box by UrdSkuldAndVerdande (alternate dialogue for Papyrus battle in the genocide run if he remembered resets.  Not /technically/ a oneshot but the whole thing is only 1200 words so)

Also ZekeStrife’s writing blog has a bunch of Papyrus angst ficlets, plus she posts updates to her multichapter fics there
