  Summary

  Lovebug AU by @things1do on tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/things1do)

  <3Ɛ><3Ɛ><3Ɛ><3Ɛ><3Ɛ>

  He did notice something different within himself. He might deliver a line of dialogue with a happier tone, or maybe he would be slightly more bothered than usual when Stanley took the door on the right. Something was definitely off, but the Narrator would rather eat his metaphorical tie than admit anything to Stanley.

  Summary

  The bucket might not have been the biggest mystery of the Parable, but it sure was an interesting one, and Stanley was going to crack this case wide open (maybe literally).

  After the skip button incident, Stanley isn't exactly looking for new content, but it still comes to find him anyways.

  Is that such a bad thing?

  Summary

  After being literally blown up, Stanley decides the thing he wants most is to knock the narrator down a peg or two.

  Maybe he should re-assess his methods.
