Summary
"Asriel used to call you “control freak”, used to mutter it under his breath when he thought you couldn’t hear him. He’d screamed it at you in your shared body when you tried to force his hand. You were never able to explain it to him without sounding like a total asshole, but you couldn’t trust anyone else to do anything right. Things wouldn’t get done correctly unless you did them; anyone else would be wasteful, they’d do it improperly, they’d put in more effort and yield less result."
or: "Chara" and "Frisk", viewed through a parallel lens.

Summary
A human who worked to grant mercy, regardless of first impulses—a human who, maybe, didn’t let themself be so horribly destructive and murderous—a human who didn’t want to inflict pain—that was something Chara had never believed existed.

Summary
They were so close like this: knees knocked together, Kris’ breath against Susie’s fingers as their eyes flicked to her own – for a split second it felt like time had frozen entirely – and back to the bowl once more.

Summary
That was their train of thought until, after incessant begging, the younger kids finally dragged a particular deer outside of her home, pulling her by the hand and insisting she be on their team. She was giggling as they did so, somewhat nervously assuring them that she’ll help in any way she can.
It was only when she passed her gate, and locked eyes with Kris down the street – eyes that, unlike recently, were suddenly full of purpose, like a vulture selecting a singular rabbit to prey upon – that Noelle regretted going outside.--
Noelle and Kris struggle to eat, and also have a water balloon fight.

Summary
At length, K says, “I promise, I wasn’t trying to ‘there’s only one bed’ you, when you offered to let us sleep here.” The words get muffled into Evan’s hoodie, and for a split second, Evan has a flash of what it must feel like to be K, a tugging, cooing urge at how soft the moment is. He wants to swallow it whole, to live in it forever. “I know I’ve done it on purpose before,” K adds in a mumble, “but this time I swear it wasn’t.”

Summary
Dear Dess,
Oh, that’s weird! I don’t like it, there’s a reason I’ve never done this before, I—I mean, I’m writing you this letter, but…but I don’t even know where you are. There’s no way you’re ever going to get this, is there? Just…words. On paper. And Dess—
This is stupid. You aren’t dead! I can’t mourn someone who is still alive! Why am I…?
Damn it, Dess. Why did you run away?
Love, Asriel.
(Four and a half years of unsent letters: to Dess, from Asriel.)

Summary
“You look out for me, and I look out for you.”
Catra really, truly thought that no matter how the world grew or shook or crumbled, there would always be a Catra so long as there was an Adora, and an Adora so long as there was a Catra.
“You promise?”
Catra wanted it to be true. She wanted to believe Adora’s promise so badly, she turned herself into a liar.
Because that was the nature of promises, after all. Either promises only make liars—or only liars make promises. It was a chicken-egg problem to be sure, but the fact remained that Adora lied to Catra. And by believing Adora’s promise, Catra lied to herself.
(A convergent, non-linear character study of Catra—past, present, and future. Featuring Catra's POV on canon, pre-canon, deleted scenes, and post-canon)
