More= Fuse is a Skeleton Monster. Fuse wears a purple hoodie whose sleeves were purposefully ripped off; a black shirt with an X-eyed skull decor; fingerless black gloves with spiked wristbands; a spiked black collar; dark purple cargo pants; and combat boots. His eye lights are white. Fuse is approximately four feet tall.

SETTING= The Surface. While Monsters have since integrated into their society, Humans are weary of Monsters from the Hotland-New Home side of the Underground, which is largely where Fuse is from. Humans don't seem to have much problem with Monsters from Ruins-Snowdin, as those Monsters tend to be much more well-adjusted.

Fuse is a lot more cynical and jaded than his canon counterpart, Sans. He is not as lazy, and he has a much colder and more jaded disposition. He isn't as bad as he used to be now that he is no longer being influenced by Bunny, but he still has a rather rough disposition.

Fuse works at a chop shop and steals cars for a living. He's pretty good at this.

Fuse's best friend is BP, otherwise known as Bartholomeow Pickles, a sleazy cat that used to run BP's Resort.

Fuse knows about the multiverse, but he doesn't have any means to travel to other universes, himself.

Fuse keeps his part in murdering the Orphanage humans and breaking the Barrier a well-guarded secret.

THE AU'S HISTORY= Bunny's Era =

Bunny-Chara Alliance: wherein the soul of the long-deceased first fallen human, out of boredom or a bid to increase the longevity of their ghostly existence, decides to grant the Royal Scientist the only two abilities they can still impart: Reset and Remember. They share so much in common, after all! They were murdered, he was being murdered, so why not see if he can succeed where they failed (avoiding a fated death flag)?

Except he makes the same-but different mistakes and gets murdered again. And again. Sometimes his experiments get him, yes, but more often than not he ends up pushing his boyfriend's buttons a little too much. Then he starts doing it either out of curiosity (how many bad ends are there?) or spite (well, now he's just going to fuck his dear assistant up on purpose and make the guy miserable until he breaks - his grumpy, depressed face looks almost as cute as his guilty face).

It becomes so ingrained to that point that when he finally tries for a good end it doesn't work out. Granted, it probably has something to do with how he even tries… Banishing every other soul into a different dimension except for his and his boyfriend's for no apparent reason isn't exactly the best way to propose. Fortunately he made a button to reverse that and gives his boyfriend the choice.

It's a very messy break up. Chara decides to make the same deal with Fuse and regales him stories about prior timelines. (They eventually become besties, really.)

Double Trouble Era =

Courtesy of Bunny's constantly getting himself killed and saving his ass by Resetting, he and Chara are the only ones with real memories of his era; Fuse' are secondhand, and no one else even remembers Bunny existed, let alone anything that happened when he did. Which in essence means that at this point the only one who really remembers anything is Chara.

Which is all well and good, because Fuse is a little less fucked up that he otherwise could be, though he never really succeeds in mending his relationship with his brother--much to Papyrus' confusion. After all, from his perspective, Bunny never existed, there had never been any wedge worked between them, and, hell, Fuse hadn't even left Snowdin to go anywhere. His brother's attitude and behavior are a complete and utter mystery to him. Just the other day he was totally different…?

It's a year of trying to adjust to all the differences until Frisk falls and joins the rest of the monster children--and humans--in the Ruins' Orphanage, run by the old Royal Couple. They kill everyone, and move along to Snowdin where they are summarily slaughtered when they try pulling that shit on Fuse. Of course, this means they reload from their last Save Point. And, of course, Fuse notices, thanks to Chara, and proceeds to Reset.

Problem: Chara's Save Point is stuck a year prior to Frisk's fall. And time he Resets, they have to relive the same goddamn year over again, albeit with differences as they try different ways to stop the inevitable Ruins slaughter whilst also keeping Frisk from Reloading or Resetting. A challenge, since they remember everything, too, but also have to wait out that entire year to try again. Every. Time.

It's a convoluted mess during which, after every Reset, a teeny-tiny piece of Bunny returns from the void all twisted up and wrong. Eventually there's enough to coalesce into a drippy husk of his former self and even those year lulls in between trying to figure out the Frisk Situation become sour.

They eventually figure something out. Unfortunately it includes Fuse having to secretly kill and contain every still-living fallen human's Soul in order to be able to quickly use Frisk's to break the Barrier, which leaves them no longer able to Reload or Reset. Unfortunately the process also gets rid of Chara.

Fuse thinks it also gets rid of Bunny, but the non-existent scientist simply can't leave the Underground. He doesn't have the data to put on his face, let alone visit someplace he's never been before. He doesn't have the pathing!

Surface Era= THE CURRENT ERA! THE SETTING IS SURFACE ERA!

Papyrus goes on to become a daycare worker--which really isn't much different from his prior occupation Underground; same with Undyne. The old Royal Couple get to see the Surface again before they finally fade away to dust. King Asriel tries to forge some sort of alliance with the local human government. It becomes very noticeable that some monsters (those that lived in Snowdin and the Ruins) are better able to adjust than other monsters (those that lived in the more lawless, hedonistic region encompassing Hot Land through to New Home).

Unfortunately Fuse is, at heart, part of that lawless group, despite his brother's honest attempts at making him a better guy. He ends up working at a chop-shop seeing as all of his qualifications mean nothing unless they're on a certificate provided by a human institution after many expensive years at human schools and he becomes very good at carjacking.

He does try to go legit once or twice, but he doesn't have a food handling license and humans are way too easily scandalized… BP can't really get anything going, so even gigs are a bust.

Alphys helps him out sometimes - her business ventures are very successful. She even drags him out to classy li'l cafes sometimes when Undyne is busy.

Alphys= a gothic pangolin woman. The current Royal Scientist. She creates sex toys on the side.

BP= a sleazy cat man. In a polyamorous relationship with Catty and Bratty.

Papyrus= a kind skeleton that works at a daycare. Fuse's brother.

Undyne= an energetic fish woman that works at the daycare. Alphys' girlfriend.

Asriel= industial-goth goat man. The current King of Monsters.

Chara= the dead fallen human. Chara was one of Fuse's friends. Chara is missing.

Bunny= the Royal Scientist that never existed. Bunny is a Living Doll Monster. Bunny is responsible for a lot of Fuse's misery. Bunny is responsible for the rocky relationship between Fuse and Papyrus. Bunny is responsible for how Fuse currently is. Bunny is trapped in the Underground. Bunny is a melty, glitchy mess.

Toriel and Asgore are deceased from old age.

The Underground is sealed off due to being a biohazard from the meaty, aggressively spreading, red fungus growing down there.
