Summary
Things keep distracting Sans from realizing he's in love. That, or he may be too close to the issue to notice that there was something to notice. (Or, actually, he is an oblivious fluffy bunny, and Papyrus may be the fox.)
Papyrus is punned. Papyrus is smooth. Papyrus is romantic. Papyrus might secretly be a Slytherin at how smooth he maneuvers his brother into 'cuddles'.
(Frisk is on probation, because there was no way Sans would trust that little Pr–Frisk near his brother. Or anyone at all.)

Summary
Post-game and side story content spoilers!
Zagreus has gotten fairly comfortable with his role in serving his father's House, though there is one part that has always bothered him: He has never truly been able to experience the surface world his mother spent so much time in, what with the constant dying. So he asks the god of death for a favor and a bit of his time.
ThanZag as lovers or as close friends, whatever you want them to be.

Summary
Hades is at the end of his rope with his unruly and wayward son. Zagreus is becoming far too...inquisitive...for Hades' liking. He needs something to ground the prince. Something to give Zagreus purpose. Something to make him calmer. Something, no someone, like...Achilles. The House's most stalwart shade and one that Hades has, over the years, actually come to respect. So Hades swallows his pride and asks Achilles for a favor. Not just any favor. But to teach Zagreus the ways of the sword and spear and bow. To teach him discipline. To teach him respect.
But what Hades doesn't count on is the fact that Achilles will also tell the prince stories. Stories of the surface. And by the time he figures out that Achilles' lessons are only fueling Zagreus' desire to leave the House, it is too late. The damage has been done. The Prince's mind is full of stories of Greece and glory and war and hope and -- damn it all, why did he ever ask a mortal to teach his son?
COMPLETE...for now...
