Pairswitch is an Undertale AU by Ashton Giertz. It revolves around the concept of swapping the roles of certain pairs of characters. In the AU, character switches occur in pairs, explaining the name. Aside from the major characters, minor ones also switch.
On March 21st, 2020, Ashton Giertz posted his last update to Pairswitch's story, putting it up for adoption. Ashton Giertz released links to Google Drive documents containing music, sprites, and notes, including a PowerPoint presentation describing the AU's characters and potential plot points. Thus far, no one has adopted the AU.

Echo the Flower[]
Echo is basically Flowey, but as an Echo Flower.
Alphys[]
Alphys is the Caretaker of the Ruins. She's a weeb, and often accidentally slips out things Frisk isn't supposed to hear. Instead of cinnamon-butterscotch pie, she offers strawberry-lemon ice cream. She breaks the 4th wall multiple times, once when noticing her text box covers the switch of the first puzzle, and by talking about Undertale when Frisk wants to leave the Ruins.
Gaster[]
Gaster just randomly appears in the Ruins for no real reason. He is still The Man Who Speaks In Hands.
Sans[]
Sans wears a sheet with BOO on it, and has a Gaster Blaster on his head in the place of the Dapperblook form, called "Gaster Bone". He is also encountered again in one of the cracked floor puzzles, where he's stuck since he fell until realizing he can use shortcuts. He has the same attacks as in his Undertale genocide battle, and his battle song is just a slowed down version of "The Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans" with Ghost Fight's instruments, with a running gag of Sans being too lazy to make new ones. In the released Powerpoint presentation the Author used to organize his thoughts, he mentions that he was considering retconning Sans' sprites to be unchanged from Undertale, for the sake of this running joke.
Locations[]
Ruins[]
The Ruins doors are shaped like the door of Undyne's house in Undertale, and Alphys' house has a big wall-painting of it, showing her obsession with her. The spike puzzle now is a crudely made Tile Puzzle, and the spider bake sale is replaced by a bunny bake sale. The important Froggit encounters are replaced by Moldsmal.
Alphys' house[]
Alphys' house has an Undyne's house wall-painting, and an interior featuring tiles and props from both Alphys' lab and Undyne's house. The books are history books about Undyne.
