    Summary

    Kris lowered the receiver and watched the red light on the base blink out. They turned back to the room.

    Susie was no longer at the table.

    From the corner of their eye, they caught movement near the stairs. She was halfway up already, hoodie sleeves bunched around her elbows, tail swaying slightly beneath the hem. She moved like she wasn’t sure whether she wanted to be seen or not—one foot creaking on the third step, then stopping, like she was waiting for someone to call her back.

    ——

    After her mother passes away, Susie is placed in foster care—and Toriel, with one child away at college and another growing quiet in the space he left behind, takes her in. Kris doesn’t know her well. Not beyond the kid who used to sit behind them and chew her pencil into splinters. But now they’ll share a room, a house, and all the quiet leftover spaces that come with grief and growing up.

    And then, just as things begin to settle into a shape that might almost resemble home, someone else goes missing. This time, from Noelle’s house. Susie isn’t one to mind her business.

    Summary

    Alphys tried hard to be a good teacher. Which probably wouldn’t have been hard even without Toriel working in the same building, or without having to step into Mr. Gerson’s shoes. But she tried. And a part of that meant that she did her best not to... kids all have! Their own circumstances! You couldn’t just think, oh this is a bad kid, this is a good kid. Kids are kids.

    ...But all the same, it takes a serious effort of will not to try to find an excuse to rush out of the room when she notices Berdly lingering after class. Berdly was a.... good kid! He worked hard. He was... academically.... motivated....
    -----

    In which Berdly seeks out advice from Alphys about matters of the heart, nerd to nerd, and winds up letting on that he's nursing a. Somewhat unexpected crush.

    Summary

    Sonic's hands shook and his knees wobbled, weak and unsteady as he stared at the sink. His brain was blank and blood ice cold, the world around him spinning. It had its talons on him, the incurable disease of humiliating love.

    But what could he do? He was in love with him, and he didn't love him back.

    Sonic had known Shadow for as long as he could remember. They had fought as enemies, as allies, as friends and foes alike. He wasn't entirely aware of the deep pining he was growing inside to be with him, to be near him. Not until he coughed up a few petals.

    Now faced with the crushing reality of his situation, Sonic's options are limited. With each passing day, the weight inside him grew, threatening him with the ever present knowledge that he was going to die. He could only do one thing.

    Keep it all a secret.

    Summary

    She could hardly believe her eyes. Floating on top of the water were dozens of pointed yellow flower petals. Unless Team Dark just kept flower petals in their toilet for some reason… there was only one way they could have gotten there. She turned to look wide-eyed at Shadow, who was no longer shielding his face, but still wore an uncomfortable grimace.

    “Shadow… do you have Hanahaki disease?” she asked.


    When one of Amy’s closest friends comes down with a case of Hanahaki disease, she has no choice but to help chase him into the arms of her crush.
