Employs repetition and sensory imagery to stunning effect. Almost a meditative experience, especially as a visual novel. Highly recommend! Note that despite the tags, this can just as easily be read as a familial or platonic relationship.

Summary
“Fear not, fair Noelle! For I, your brave an-”
Whatever way Berdly was planning to end that sentence was completely derailed as he actually saw Noelle, sitting on her bed.
And the streaks of stained fur tracing down from her eyes.After Noelle’s “study session” with Kris and Susie, Berdly comes over to offer an open ear and open arms. A shame he technically doesn’t have either of those.

Bookmarker's Notes
As much as Berdly could stand to listen to Noelle and Noelle could be more honest about her feelings, these two are clearly important to each other. Works centered on Noelle and Berdly's friendship are frustratingly rare, so I am glad one with this much heart can be counted in their number.

“Huh?” They shrugged.
“I mean, if you don’t want to - ”
“No, no! That would - that would be really nice of you, actually.”

It's nice to see Alvin's relationship with the Dreemurr family given some attention, and tying that to Kris' relationship with piano retroactively makes their performance in Chapter 4 all the more affecting.

Bookmarker's Notes
There's a lot I enjoy here, but I'm especially fond of this author's treatment of Berdly. He feels true to his presentation in-game but also sensitive and caring in his off-beat way, which I imagine to be no easy feat. Asgore is here too, and it's nice to see him stepping into the role of a father figure for Susie.

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.)

Bookmarker's Notes
I'm a sucker for epistolary stories, and this is an excellent one! I love how the post-game lives of Kris, Susie, Ralsei, and Noelle are woven into the background of Asriel's letters, whose stream-of-consciousness style conveys some spectacularly raw emotion: the gradual realization that he's become a second parent to Frisk was particularly affecting.

Summary
Dess signs, after a few faltering starts, “Asriel called me.”
“Huh?” Kris blinks, watching as Dess repeats the signs. “Oh. Uh. That’s cool.”
Dess shrugs. It has started to pace in the center of their room, to their window, their door, a straight-line loop. They catch her signs as she passes them, a start-and-stop. “His roommate. Went on a vacation for a few weeks. And Asriel—offered. For me to stay with him. Until the roommate is back.”
Kris—
Freezes. Like, full-body, the chill races up their spine and every bit of them goes rigid. Asriel is far, far, everyone is far, too-far, but Dess—Dess has stayed right in Hometown with them from the start, the only one of them who didn’t belong anywhere, even with the end of the world, even with Light and Dark cracked open, no boundaries between the two anymore. She was supposed to turn back into the girl she was before she left, but it never, ever did.
Kris was supposed to be a human.
(Or: Everyone else is moving on. Why can't Kris?)

Bookmarker's Notes
As much as it hurts to watch Kris turn away from their friends in the end, I adore how viscerally the reader experiences their yearning. This work benefits from having read the author's "The Holiday-Dreemurr Kids" series, which I would also recommend. The decision to write Kris as coyotekin is a really compelling response to the species dysphoria others have read into the character.

Summary
They can’t sleep.
It is the images that keep flashing in their mind no matter how many times they try to cram their eyes shut. They did everything. Threw It in the cage dragged Berdly to the hospital crawled to Noelle rolling on their back to show the soft vulnerable parts of them, sorry sorry sorry sorry and they don’t think she bought prank—know now there is no way to convince her of that again—and when they tugged out the thorn she winced but somehow didn’t flinch away from them, after it all, after It.
Their hand reaching for Noelle’s. Shaking. Trying to plead run with every single part of them. They weren’t fast enough. Because then It was there and Its words were thorns stabbing their cheeks, Noelle was terrified, Noelle was freezing, please not her hurt me do anything to me leave her alone leave her alone, but they couldn’t even scream by then. Just begging. Rolling over to It. I’ll be good. I’ll be so good. Just please don’t hurt her.
(Or: Kris tries to get help.)

A genuinely feel-good ending. Even before the realization hits, this is a lovely portrait of domestic bliss.

The author's understanding of Kris and Susie's dynamic really shines in moments where the two are just shooting the breeze, it's delightful.

Summary
“It wasn’t a big deal or anything, if you’re worried about that. We were just kind of friend-kissing.”
“Susie, I don’t know what friend-kissing is supposed to be,” Noelle said.
“It’s like. You know,” Susie stumbled, “like if you need to figure out how to kiss or whatever and you got somebody to help you out—and that guy helps you get better at it, it’s like—you know!”
“I-I do?”
“Yeah,” she stressed, “you and Kris used to do it all the time!”
Or, Kris decides flirting lessons aren’t all that bad of an idea. Consequences? What consequences?

Uproariously funny - I was grinning through most of chapters one and two.
