Summary
You're mostly settled in this odd, new arrangement on the surface. Honestly, it's better than you expected. You have a room, a school duty, and a pretty boring but solid routine. You stop waiting for the other shoe to drop and cautiously start enjoying the predictability. For the first time in forever, life is pretty much OK. You could do without Frisk complaining about you scaring off your classmates, sure, but it's a small price to pay for other kids leaving you two in peace. You get regular meals, eight hours... well, alright, eight hours of opportunity to sleep and something to be looking forward to every day. Even if that something is a boring math lesson.
That is, until your dead Mom appears in the school hallway and the whole world around you starts crumbling.This is fine.
***
Things are not fine.
With Toriel's sudden appearance, the short period of peace is officially over. Chara starts spiraling out of control, and despite your best efforts, you're helpless to stop them. With your frantic search for solutions and stolen monster food hidden under your bed, you can't shake off the feeling that you won't be able to turn things around this time.

Summary
So it turns out that surviving on the surface is significantly harder than saving an entire civilization, build-a-bearing a body from sheer spite and force of will and outliving a whole world being wiped out of reality. Who knew?
Chara and Frisk have somehow crossed the barrier and now it's time to brave the surface together. It goes as well as anyone could expect.
Some backstories are revealed. (Some more reluctantly then others.) Some food is scavenged, salvaged and eaten. Some... is not.
Frisk and Chara learn a great deal about each other and grow even closer than in the Underground. They might be technically homeless but when has that ever stopped them?A direct continuation of It's not chocolate but it's still pretty good. Just like with any installment in this series, you don't need to read the other works to enjoy this one.

Summary
You are staring at the underside of Chara's bed, casting a shadow over your own. There are uneven gaps in the bed frame, showing bumps of a yellowed mattress. They're not very interesting to look at, but your eyes are glued to them, too tired to move.
Your thoughts are slow like you're freezing over. Everything feels distinctly unreal. Hazy, muddled, and fading like a dream. You want to get up to check on Chara but you can't. You can't move. Your body won’t listen. It's like it isn't really yours. Maybe it never was? Maybe you just borrowed a vessel that was never truly yours to begin with and now you're finally drifting away, freeing it from your influence.
Or: Frisk is having a rough evening and Chara helps.

Summary
They say that those who climb Mt. Ebott don't come back. It's a good thing, then, that you don't intend to. Or at least that’s what you think until the voice in your head gets a name and so does the empty space in your chest.
Or: Frisk and Chara through many, many resets. From the beginning to an end.

Summary
As usual summer before third year is really hard…
After an unfortunate incident with Aunt Marge, Harry finds himself staying with Snape and his live-in boyfriend of 12 years.
Only, Snape is just as awful as ever and his boyfriend is really cool and nice and makes Harry feel important… but as time goes on, it’s clear that all is not as it seems. Because Snape is actually… well, he’s not a decent guy, but he does care about protecting children from abuse, apparently.
But his boyfriend… It turns out that not all guys who seem good end up being good in the end. As he watches his professor’s relationship dissolve he can’t help feeling like an awful person for being an active participant in it.
It never once crosses his mind that Harry was being groomed and abused in a grossly different way than he was used to.
OR
Not only do old secrets get revealed, but Professor Snape’s boyfriend takes advantage of Harry while he’s staying there for the summer leading to shifts in perspective and possibly… healing?

Sometimes, survival means making a home in the dark…

Summary
“We shall be married.” His voice was strong but without malice. She should have seen that coming.
Alina laughed. She threw her head back and laughed at the absurdity.
“It’s a perfectly reasonable request.” He echoed her words from earlier. “Rulers solidify treaties and ensure peace through marriages all the time.”
She blinked. He was right. And he was beautiful when he was like this, impassioned, sure. She hated him for it.
OR
When Alina surrenders herself to save her people and everyone she loves, she finds herself at the mercy of the Darkling. To her mounting horror she realizes he isn't at all the monster he seems. Or perhaps he's exactly what he seems, but just not to her.
