    Summary

    Tenna could hear the kitchen. The clatter of plates. The deep rumble of Asgore’s voice, rising—then flattening into something hoarse. Toriel’s sharper. Less like a yell, more like a scab picked sore too many times. Kris would wander in, shoulders stiff, and press their cheek to the static. Sometimes, if the TV was warm from recent use, the glass would fog. They’d breathe slow. Not watching anything. Just being close.

    He’d glow soft blue beneath them. He always kept his volume low. Just enough to give them something steady. He thought of himself, in those times, as a nightlight. Something for a scared kid to feel near when they didn’t want to cry.

    And then, sometimes, Kris would draw.

    Little stick figures with marker right on the screen. Green for themselves. Brown for Noelle. Big loopy lines for antlers. Red for Dess. a big triangle with gashing spikes . Toriel would scold them gently when she caught them, but she never got angry. She’d say, “Markers are for paper,” and Kris would shrug and say “Okay,” and do it again next week.

    Summary

    * It’s your drawing up on the fridge.
    * It’s of your family: Mom, Dad, Asriel, and you.
    * A family of four smiling goat-monsters.

    (or: Kris grows up, a human raised by monsters, and it turns out that does a lot to a kid's sense of self.)

    Summary

    “Hun… the police went to your house just this morning. They’ll be looking to speak with you.”

    Susie feels like the ground is lurching beneath her feet.

    “Why?” she rasps out. “What do they want with me?”

    Diner lady looks even more pitying, now.

    Summary

    Kris swears they have it the worst. Like, they're being puppeted around by some eldritch being, forcing them to do things they never wanted. Not to mention it keeps interfering with the plan. So what if it's always been nice, and treats their friends with love, and lets Kris do stuff they want, it's still controlling them! It must be so easy, not being the Cage.

    What if they weren't the Cage anymore? That would solve everything, right?

    But someone has to be the Cage.
