Summary
She must think she’s hurting them, or possibly restricting airflow, because she suddenly tears away. Eyes wild and frantic. “Oh my God, I’m sorry.”
They shake their head, gasping in air. But it’s not because she’d been choking them. It wasn’t like that at all.
“Are you一” Her hands flit in front of them, scared to touch. “You okay?”
“Fine. You didn’t hurt me,” they manage, once proper oxygen is reinstated.
“Oh, okay. You made a sound like you might’ve been dying, so.” She laughs awkwardly, scratching through her thick hair. “Sorry. I’m not too good at this yet.”
“Being gentle?” they ask, half-teasing.
Susie’s gaze drops to the tile. “Having a friend.”

Summary
They had a system.
The lights stayed off. They were there, in case of emergencies or guests, but outside of those extenuating circumstances, they never turned on. On especially dark or cloudy nights, Kris cracked a glowstick and circled it around their wrist when they walked into the kitchen around 4:00 AM to make coffee after giving up on sleep for the night. Sometimes, the smell drew it out of its room; she'd come grab a cup, and they'd sip the hot, bitter liquid together in silent camaraderie. Usually, Kris drank the small pot alone.
...
It feels selfish, like some violation of the silent pact they’ve made with themself, with Dess. An unspoken agreement to fade quietly from this world, to break away in little pieces over time, make their peace and let the others make theirs.
...
They are warm. A hand on their wrist. Breath on their shoulder. Snores shaking the floor. They are comfortable, and safe, and loved, and somehow this is worse. Because the warmth isn't theirs in the same way the screams weren't theirs; because Kris is a quiet thing, a cold thing, and the pain belongs to them but the fire does not.(i.e. Kris and Dess are forced out of their downward spirals and learn to be loved.)

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
The real world can be a cruel place.
There is no Dark World. No Lightners. No Darkners. No prophecy to set forth a chain of events to whisk away tears and make everything right. No chain of coincidence to magically and miraculously mend broken bonds and build friendships anew.
In the Real World, there is only Kris—lifelong loser and social outcast. Amidst a broken home, an unrequited childhood crush, and the myriad other struggles of adolescence, they want nothing more than to live a regular life—to be normal—to blend in.
Or: Kris weathers the decadence and melodrama of modern suburbia.
Updated weekly.
Apparently has a TV Tropes page.
