Summary
She can’t do this anymore. She’s can’t quite tell if she’s dead or alive; maybe this is all a dying dream. Maybe this is the afterlife, and the church’s teachings about living with the Angel were a hoax.
There’s only one way to be sure. She tightens her hand around her bat-turned-sword.
If she’s already dead, then nothing will happen. If she’s alive, then cutting short this mockery of an existence would be welcome.
She hovers the blade over her chest.
December Holiday descends into the shelter.

Summary
“This is gonna sound crazy,” Dess admits. Asriel snorts.
“You’re always crazy. Can’t scare me off with it now,” he says, voice soft and fond.
She smiles, and steels herself. “You know how Noelle almost got in that accident recently? My parents freaked the fuck out, your dad had to stop officer Undyne from punching the driver, all that?”
Azzy nods in recognition. “You grabbed her and pulled her out of the road.”
Dess tightens her grip on him and stares into his eyes. “That’s the thing. That wasn’t me.”
“What do you mean?”
“That wasn’t me. It was the Angel. She warned me that Noelle was going to get hurt.”
December Holiday has been chosen by the Angel.

Summary
Music plays. Kris thinks of warm hands over theirs, guiding them through playing piano. They think of running up and down the stairs in Holiday manor, and of hot chocolate with a secret ingredient that made it even sweeter. They think of being hit with a wiffle bat, but never hard enough to hurt, only hard enough to make Noelle start laughing so hard she got tears in her eyes.
Sometimes at the lake, when Kris sits in just the right spot, in just the right way, they hear music.

“Oh, my teeth are hurting more now.”
Alfred smiled. “Maybe,” he started, “We should call Master Dick. He knows what it’s like, perhaps he could help?”
Jason wrinkled his nose. “He’s…” he paused, trying to find the right word. “Annoying,” he finally settled on.
// Jason gets braces. It's not much fun for anyone.

Summary
“Pleasure to work with you, Vriska!” he calls, as you slog through the ankle-deep fish-scum-saturated swill that inevitably accumulates under the processing machinery once the day warms up.
“You’re fake as shit, Jake English!” you holler back over your shoulder. “But thanks.”
(If you want the rewards of being loved, or, y'know, paid, you have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of gutting five hundred salmon with only a dumbass newbie to help you. Isn't that how that quote goes?)

Summary
How would it look if it was Orpheus who Hades called a songbird, and seduced onto the train?
Eurydice follows, of course, but she has her own way to reach the gates and escape safely with her beloved.
Alternately, she can have little a popular rebellion, as a treat :P

Summary
“I’ll do anything,” Orpheus says. His knees are beginning to buckle under him. “I’ll work in the mines. I’ll work on the wall.”
“Son, you wouldn’t last a day down there,” the god drawls.
“Then I’ll sing,” he croaks. “I’ll sing for your workers to keep them in line. I’ll sing for your wife, to keep her underground. Please…” He glances back at the house—really more of a shack—where Eurydice lies by the dwindling fire. “I can’t let her starve.”
Silence. Then, a quirk of the lips—not really a smile, but the gesture of one. “I suppose I could use a canary.”
