Sorry if this is rambley, but here's some thoughts I had about my possible AU.
A thing I'd have to keep in mind is "what magic do humans have?". In a discussion I had with somebody, an idea that came out of it was that monsters were the actual intended creations of the gods or something. But leftover magic had infused with clay & water, causing humans to appear.
The gods were ready to allow humans to stay, but humans figuered out how to edit the code of reality, including how to time travel or "SAVE" (this is possible because their more solid bodies can handle Determination much better). It would explain how no monsters were killed in the human-monster war at least.
But after humans sealed the monsters underground, they edited reality again to make time travel impossible & thus, keep their victory forever (unless you count the unpatched underground, which still allows humans to time travel). They then became the dominant species of the planet.
Other ideas IDK where to put: - The monster calender & human calenders differ (possibly The monster calender starts at the year they've been entrapped). - The 6 other fallen humans are much older then Frisk & Chara (15~17 in comparison to 11-ish). - All the fallen humans come at least a decade after each other, meaning all of them are from diffrent time-eras (I think Between Chara & Frisk there could be about 100 year diffrence).
