    Summary

    As Hometown's school counselor, you've heard plenty of stories, but none quite like Kris's.

    After months of getting to know them and navigating the effects of a recent issue with their mother, Kris opens up about the Dark World and how their friend Susie feels like the sole constant in a life full of changes.

    Gaining the trust of a teenager with divorced parents hasn't been easy, yet the favour they ask when they knock on your door one morning is simple: take their old television and keep it at your place, since it means a lot to them and they don't want Toriel to throw it out.

    You accept, but then they explain the television is a man named Tenna, so you plug him in and try to strike up a conversation.

    Surprisingly, it works, and a new life begins.

    Once alone with no set goal for the future, you now live alongside an eccentric show host, communicating via channel changes in the Light World, and eventually, by sneaking into the school's supply closet to jump into the Dark World and go on a date with him.

    When things get serious between you, a decision has to be made: try to bring his Dark World form into the Light World, or risk staying in the Dark World with him while as a Lightner.

    Summary

    After being taken in and thrown out by so many families, Tenna was about ready to be left alone and forgotten. It was only when he met you did he let himself cling onto his hope and dreams one last time.

    Summary

    READ BRAIN POISON FIRST. And probably conflict of interest as well. In fact if just read all of Suckybusses stuff, it’s way better than this tbh.
    -

    Tenna has moved to Castle Town, and almost immediately starts sobbing over some “Kit” that he needs Susie to go get. But Susie is immediately thrown off by the fact that Kit is acting incredibly strange.

    Summary

    "This was not perfect. Spamton was not a great man, he was not sensible or responsible. He was flighty and most of what he did for money was completely illegal. Sometimes he had really bad days. Sometimes he did not make any sense. But he tried. He made you happy. He made you laugh. He wanted to make it work. You pulled him closer, rested your head on his, and wrapped your arms a little tighter."

    You and Spamton have a happy enough little life. You get by, you make it work. But he's still not over his last relationship, and he might have just lost his only chance to move past it.

    Summary

    You find yourself in need of an old CRT, and after a full day of driving around to every thrift store in town, you manage to find one. It's old and dirty, but it'll work.

    Imagine your surprise when, shortly after cleaning it up, it comes to life and you now have giant TV-headed man crouched in your apartment. The whole situation is far more shocking to you than it is to him. This is neither the Dark World nor the Light World, but either way, Tenna wants nothing more than to be your TV, and you find it difficult to say no to the humble request.

    It's certainly better than trying to explain the REAL reason you'd bought him...

    Summary

    Just when you thought you were down in the gutter, all because a little VCR darkner like yourself is too out of date, one night you stumbled upon a new hope with a TV studio of all things. You decide that was worth a shot, even if it turned into a waste of time.

    Will this sparkle of hope be the new stepping stone you needed most? Or will it just be yet another dead end job that'll only make you worse? Who's to say with a personality like yours....

    Summary

    Her screen has darkened now, but you admire the way Tenna's frame is basked in a sheen of starlight from the sky outside, dotting across the wispy clouds, their glow accentuating every inch of her.

    The way she wraps her arms around your waist shows you just how much she trusts you. It must be difficult, you imagine. To have the whole world at your fingertips, never knowing when to break down the guise, to feel alive and real for once.

    But Tenna has that sense of safety with you. It's an inarguable truth, inscribed into every part of her being. You see it when she murmurs your name sometimes in her sleep, yearning for you to be connected to her. When her screen involuntarily flickers alight, replaying little memories of your hands interwoven, the sight of your smile on her screen, dreaming about you.

    You see it when she wakes up with tears in her eyes, missing you when you're just coming back from the bathroom, pulling back the duvet just to curl up next to her again.

    There is always a place for you within each other, embedded and secure.

    (Tenna has a day off from the set, so you make her morning a little more special.)

    Summary

    You fix failing businesses in the Dark World.
    That’s your thing — walk in, clean up the chaos, and get out after things finally start to stay afloat.

    So when you get an anonymous call begging you to save a dying studio on the edge of implosion, you assume it’s just another mess to mop up.

     

    You weren’t expecting his face on the building.

    And you sure as hell weren’t expecting him to still be running it.

     

    Now you’re trapped in a rundown studio full of burnout, flickering neon, and a ghost from your past with too much of an ego and not a bit of self-awareness.

    He hasn’t changed. He’s worse. And yet, the more the studio falls apart, the more you’re forced to deal with what neither of you ever got over…

     

    There’s nothing professional about this.

    Summary

    You’re one of those new guys in town, the definition of a personality hire. Literally. Your resume was so colorful, that they shoved you in a pink and blue uniform and called you candy. Of course, you still have your name, but it’s easier for the stage directors to just have to yell “Candy you’re up in 10!” when your adverts are about to air on the television. Good luck dealing with your boss and his weird shenanigans. I don’t think those lunch break requests are just for eating ham sandwiches and whiskey shots.

    Summary

    No matter what you do, the words you write are never good enough. Trying to engage in a fandom made you feel invisible and exhausted. How can something that brought you so much joy, bring you down at the same time? Maybe you should stop trying. Tenna begs to differ.

    Summary

    3 years ago, you moved here to Hometown, away from the city life to catch a break as you now work for the Mayor for anything that needed fixing around the tight-knit community. It was nice. Your life was comfortable, you were well-off, and while you at first kept away from everyone due to some... personal issues, you were making progress in coming out of your shell.

    But life enjoys throwing curveballs at you, starting with pulling out a whole ass robot out of a trash bin.

    WHO THE HECK THROWS OUT A ROBOT?!

    Summary

    What happens in the resort doesn't always stay at the resort.

    After your morally bankrupt TV host boss, Tenna, agrees to a company vacation for the worst reason imaginable, the last thing you want is to be anywhere near him. But when a moonlit encounter on your balcony leads to a tense game of 'don't-get-caught', you discover that the line between hatred and unbearable attraction is much thinner than you thought.

    Or: The one where Fell!Tenna is a pervert, his Head of Programming (you) is done with his nonsense, and a nighttime balcony 'conversation' is the worst—or best—idea ever.
