Master Post for "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes"
Update 5/30: Finished! I'll post a chapter a day to the end.
Inspired, though at several removes, by Kaesa’s wonderful fic Never a Lovely So Real and prompted in part by the fact that the handful of SPN/Undertale fics I’ve found to date have not taken this particular angle of approach.
Full disclosure: I haven’t played Undertale, nor do I plan to. I’m far more interested in the story and the characters, about which I’ve learned a great deal from the fandom, than in the mechanics of the game. For that reason, I’m setting this story after a True Pacifist run but will leave most of what happened in the UT characters’ past to the reader’s imagination. Dialogue will most likely not match what’s said in the game, though, which is a deliberate choice; you’ll see why. Other deliberately AU details will be explained, or at least lampshaded, as the story progresses. The story is gen casefic. It will include UT fanon, particularly about Chara. Frisk is selectively mute. On the SPN side, I’ve had to fudge the timeline a bit, so it’s already somewhat AU from the start; but I’m leaving the Years That Weren’t as they are in canon for reasons that will become obvious shortly. If any of that bothers you, please hit the Back button now.
Finally, a couple of GMTA hat tips: to Rumon Gray, whose “Another Medium” includes a theory about the Underground similar to the one I present here, though it differs in significant respects; and to eternal blossoms, whose “Over and Over” includes an idea about Frisk’s final living arrangements that’s similar to what I show in later chapters. I had actually started writing this story before reading the relevant parts of those, but I wanted to be sure to acknowledge the similarities!
Summary: A mountain full of fae suddenly gains a mine full of monsters, refugees from another reality. Six months later, a red-eyed child is on a killing spree in Ebott, Idaho. But when Garth dispatches the Winchesters to look into the matter, none of them expect the consequences of the hunt to reach the highest levels of Heaven itself. And the surprising friendships the brothers make along the way might be more vital than they seem.
