Summary
There's a paradox inherent to loving a fictional character.
They're always there for you whenever you need them... but their very fictionality means you can never meaningfully express how you feel to them.
Nonetheless, you are determined to try.
Or; You hug Ralsei.

Summary
Ralsei had never dared to dream that he could be loved by anyone, so when he and his two best friends fall into a whirlwind romance, he can hardly believe his good fortune. But in the days that follow, the darkner prince finds himself wondering if everything might just be too good to be true, and that he could be nothing more than a mere accessory to his lightner partners.
With his head in the clouds and his heart plagued with doubts, can he reach out to his newfound loves and convince them - and indeed himself - that the love they share is worth preserving?
A Kralsusie story told across multiple short chapters, each told from Ralsei's POV. Some mild angst with a happy resolution, and lots of cuteness and wholesomeness along the way.

Summary
From the shadows of a disused school supply closet, a quiet voice softly speaks, telling tales to any who would listen.
Tales of sorrow and longing, of comfort and joy, of connection and hope. Of things-that-are-not and things-that-are-yet-to-be. Of light and dark, and the fragile, volatile love that binds them.
Won't you stay awhile and listen, to this lost soul desperately reaching for the light?
Or; a collection of very short stories set in the Deltarune universe, mostly centering around Ralsei. Originally written on Tumblr and assembled here for ease of access. Will be updated frequently, so check back often.

Summary
Kris Dreemurr doesn't like to rely on others or ask for help. They're more the "suffer in silence" kind who'd rather not have people fussing over them. So when they injure their hands to the point where they almost can't use them anymore, their first instinct is to ignore it and hope it'll sort itself out.
Unfortunately, Ralsei did not get the memo, and when he discovers what's happened, his first instinct is to try and help however he can.
Because whether they know it or not, Kris's hands are special. And if they won't look after them... then Ralsei will take that matter into his own paws.
A Kralsei story for Valentine's day, centering around taking care of another person's hands.
