   Summary

   Frisk was always just a passive vessel... or so everyone thought.

   What happens if the vessel seeks out its guide?

   And what will they do to not lose them again?

   Inspired by an AU made on tiktok by @sages_era.

   Summary

   What if Kris really did say what was on their mind, that moment by the lake? What would come of it?

   What else would be said, once the dam is broken and the words come pouring out?

   -

   A pretty-close-to-canon interpretation on what would happen if Susie learned about the Soul. Featuring character studies of Kris, Susie, and Ralsei; Kris' soul acting as a (mostly) benevolent eldritch horror; and the beginning of a new path.
