CHAPTER ONE

 

"You're not getting your security deposit back," the landlord said, his eyes drifting over Dareth's apartment. He lingered for a moment on the underwear hanging off the TV, then pulled his gaze away and sighed.

 

Dareth let out a nervous chuckle. "Ah heh… listen, I know my rent's been spotty, but I swear, I'll get my act together."

BUCKET LIST


CHAPTER ONE: THE RULES


Kai is having a shit day.


He hasn't gotten a good night sleep in weeks. He's been too busy searching Ninjago for Wu. He split from Zane temporarily just because they've been each other's only company for months, and they both need some time with others, so Kai figured he'd go visit Lloyd. They made plans to hang out for a day or two, then get back to their search.


Except that's not what happens. What happens is that Lloyd has to cancel, Kai can't get in touch with Nya, and he's left with nothing to do in NInjago City while the sun is setting. He scores a free bed at the second motel he pulls the ninja card at – they are heroes, after all, so he has no idea why it didn't work at the first motel.

Knock Knock


"Daisy Lewis! I've told you again and again, you can't come with me!"

Remembrance

 

"Don't you have anything better to do, Sensei?"

 

Wu manages a smile at his former student. "It's good to see you again, Morro. How have you been?"

 

The ghost rolls his eyes. "Dead and in the Departed Realm, same as last year. Why do you keep bringing me back?"

Odd Ones Out
 

"Remember, kid," Ham said, digging through the pile of coats, "stealing is wrong, I'm a horrible influence, and don't tell Noir we yoinked a car."

Peni rolled her eyes. "What do you mean, 'yoinked?'"

Ham burrowed his pig snout deeper. "Nabbed. Filched. Pilfered. Liberated! I like that one. We'll just tell him it's mine."

Summary: Humans don't matter, and Chara is a human. Seven human souls to break the barrier, and Chara is the first. Scenes from Chara's childhood in the underground.

Warnings: canon character death

Notes: this oneshot was first published on archive of our own on April 12th, 2020.

Child of Dirt


They still don't call Toriel "Mom." Asriel says they can, but Chara won't do it. The word catches in their throat and they choke on memories and they call her "Miss Toriel" or just "Miss." They don't call Asgore "Dad," either. They're a human, after all, and the Dreemurrs are monsters. Chara has ordinary skin with no white fur to cover their scrapes and bruises, and they're never gonna grow horns like Asgore has, and they can't do magic, and on the surface, they had to worry about getting a sunburn if they stayed outside too long. At least underground, they could play outside for as long as they wanted.


But there's no question that Asriel is their brother.

Summary: Mary Sinclair was the one who convinced him to be open about his trans identity. Not that R.E. Fendrich would ever admit it.

True To Himself

Fendrich started going by R.E. or just his surname very early in life. It was only when he was in his twenties that he realized why his birthname made him cringe, and by then, he was a successful businessman – with emphasis on the man – and his parents didn't have any standing to argue with him. They tried, still. Eventually, Fendrich made one, single concession: he would not change his name, at least, not while either of them were still alive.
