Description:

A series of stories set after Undertale's True Pacifist ending, focusing on Chara, Asriel, and Frisk as they try to settle into their (sometimes literal) new lives on the Surface.

Notes:

Series title is derived from a quote attributed to Seneca the Younger, apparently: Errare humanum est, perseverare autem diabolicum, et tertia non datur or, in English: To err is human; to persist [in committing such errors] is of the devil, and the third possibility is not given. The last part essentially means "not making mistakes at all isn't an option". Perfection isn't possible. Which felt on-theme for the stories I'm trying to write here.

So no, the series title does not mean there's not a third instalment planned. And yes, I'm aware that the title should probably be more correctly written as "et tertium non datur", but that's not how it's written in the quote I was drawing from.
