Hello there, you! I have not failed to notice you going through my fics. And apparently, you didn't just stick to my Dadmare stuff, either, @chiyannad XD The Great and Wonderful Doctor W.D. Gaster and The Door?! I haven't updated it in aaaaages. Still, happy to see you enjoying my new and old works, so thanks for that.

Now, about Lyra. I am hesitant to say "OC" as an original character to me is a wholly original and not tied to a fandom. Lyra is a fan character designed to be part of the UTMV of at least HNBD. Though anyone is welcome to use her for their own creations.

Those stories you see her in are set in the future. Balance, or Lyra, will appear in HNBD, but she will be more of a side character who will play a big role... I needed someone to be a Balance/Order keeper. And I wanted someone who wasn't a Sans. So, I picked a Toriel and decided to repurpose a Toriel from an abandoned AU idea that came up years ago in Soriel Discord for her origins. In time, I will tell her story, but fewer readers are interested in her than in Dadmare, thus focusing on Dadmare.

After years of writing Soriel, I should have known that my brain would insist she should kiss a Sans. Over time, I accepted that I would be shipping her with someone. Past me thought if she were to fall for a Sans, it would be Dream. My brain did not get that memo, as she somehow fell for Nightmare. And... yeah... it will make sense when she finally starts playing her role in HNBD. That said, I still hold to no ships being in that fic. The most you will see is a budding friendship.

Anyway, her history will be part of a FuzzyNight fic, as she would only reveal it to anyone if she were in a close enough relationship. So, you gotta wait. I did write a start to that fic and referenced her home life..., but I will eventually put all my little FuzzyNight fics on AO3 so they are better organized.

As for a reference:

That first one is by me. The next two were commissioned from @tamagoneko and the last one was commissioned from @skeleplatypus

Y’know that one meme-

“How Nightmare Became Dadmare” by @topazshadowwolf

Killer hurried over to Nightmare as the guardian spoke to the one filming him. The dark socketed skeleton held up a child’s magazine. “boss, look! i found all three differences!” Killer said with a proud smile.

Nightmare looked, his expression not changing, as he stated flatly, “those are two completely different pictures.”

There is a small bit of Ron Swanson in Nightmare. And a bit of Andy in Killer.

Just one bite..

One thing I’ve been thinking a lot about behind the scenes is what Gaster’s recovery would be like and who would play a role in it. Refinedtale is, as the name suggests, always being refined and changed as I develop it. This comic and what happens in it are subject to change.. but I’d like to think some of Gaster’s first movements and reactions to things were triggered by seeing Sans upset. In this comic, as was stated by Sans, its been over a month since Gaster was pulled out of the void.. and thus far he’s just been a husk. No talking, no movements, just.. stillness. And no one can figure out why he’s not getting better. This most likely isn’t the first time Sans has cried in front of Gaster since he’s been back, but it could be the first time a memory was triggered because of it. 

In this timeline Sans and Papyrus are under a lot of stress, so much so that Toriel would swing by almost daily to check in on them and bring them food. And one time she brought them butterscotch pie to eat. She gave Gaster a slice too.. well, she more of posed him like a doll to hold the pie and fork. She tried to show him how to eat, but Gaster just.. didn’t respond.

..”He’s just not there yet”.. Sans couldn’t finish that sentence before trailing off. Those first four words, “he’s just not there.” It hurt to acknowledge. Toriel tried to save it and reminded him that its “yet”, he’s just not there, yet.. But Sans’ emotional state was very fragile up to this point. He was on the edge of breaking down due to all the stress he and Papyrus were under. And that was it, that phrase pushed him just a little bit further.. and he started crying. 

Seeing Sans cry and hearing him say that he was scared triggered something within Gaster. Parental instinct perhaps? It moved him, metaphorically and literally. He recalled a time when he was more whole, a time when he could speak. He was ill back then wasn’t he? He needed to eat, But he really didn’t want to.. so then why did he?.. Because it would make that child feel better if he did.. He didn’t understand how he was moving or why he felt a sense of urgency.. but none the less he managed to move his weak arm and coordinate his movements enough to take just one bite..  And his soul felt a bit warmer after. Seeing Sans just light up after he took that bite made him feel like he did the right thing.. even if he didn’t really remember Sans or understand what he just did..

Again, this comic is subject to change due to my AU constantly being refined and developed.. but for now, this is one of the first times Gaster made it clear that he’s still alive, and he’s still in there somewhere.. He just needs a little more time..
