I don't know how to handle things like this. Help me.

Part 1 (here)

Next (?)




It was the first evening Gaster had been aboard the pirate ship, reading his codex and praying he could navigate them to safety. His life depended on it now, in much more than the usual way. The quartermaster had barked an order for lights to be doused, and Gaster mentally prepared himself for the ordeal of stumbling through the darkened crew’s quarters in search of a new source of light.

But when the grumbling of his new bunkmates settled, and the hissing of doused lamps silenced, he noticed the cabin remained lit. Gaster was thankful, and nervous for whatever soul would thwart the Quartermaster’s orders… and was surprised to see a fire monster.

The monster slept soundly, so soundly in fact that he must have been there for quite some time - perhaps before Gaster himself had descended into the quarters. He had to wonder how he’d missed seeing the monster when he’d first entered the room, let alone remaining ignorant for the time he’d spent pouring over his charts. But there the monster was.

I like this AU Already! This is off to a great start. >v<

The art is lovely and the lighting is wonderful. Writing is great and I'm interested.

May I ask if this going to be an ongoing story? A fic? I'm so curious and excited to see where this is going. :D
