Summary
The human Asriel Dreemurr fell into Mt. Ebott, where he was found by the monster children Frisk and Chara.
They planned to steal his soul to break the barrier and resume the war against humans. They tried to kill him, and each other. But in the end, nobody needed to die. The barrier was broken, and Asriel walked into the sunlight alongside Chara and Frisk.That should have been the happy ending.
Everyone lived.
But, that doesn’t mean they weren’t badly hurt.This is a story about relationships.
It’s about forgiveness, responsibility, accountability, and learning to make better choices.
It’s even, somewhat, about politics.And it’s also, maybe, a tiny bit, about interspecies romance.
Good luck, Asriel Dreemurr. You’re going to need it.

Summary
One day all eyes are on her, expectantly watching and anticipating news of her upcoming engagement, and the next, through nothing but a series of unfortunate circumstances, they are on her for a very different reason. Scandals spread faster than the best of news, and assumptions have a tendency to stick around, becoming almost impervious to the truth. It's a lesson Eliza learns in the harshest way possible.

Summary
I suck at summaries but it is a self-insert so beware. Essentially, I end up getting isekai'd into JTTW and there's some B̵̂̄͋ĺ̷̺͂̀̉̀͌̓̊̈̆̈̈͘ȯ̸͍͙͍͋̒̀͌͒͘̕ò̷̏͌̏͝d̶̾̈́̍͆̿̉͋̃͊̿̏͊̔͘͘ ̷̱͌̆̓͑̕G̴̛̛̪̬̦̭͑̋́̆̎͑̐̽̀̍͋͗̽̚̕o̶̭̹̣̓̒̔d̶̛̤̍̋̉̕͝ shenanigans and it ends up eventually bleeding into LMK. Heavy angst and shit and honestly there aren't any healthy relationships in this other than PIF and DBK so please don't take this as the pinnacle of healthy relationships or stable mental health.
DSMP is only for the B̵̠̝̂̄͋͗̓̇͐͒ĺ̷̡̢̺̠͕͂̀̉̀͌̓̊̈̆̈̈͘ͅȯ̸͍͙͋̒̀͌͒͘̕ò̷̯͖̱̏͌̏̉̈́̒̊̓̋̋̓͝d̶͙͉̾̈́̍͆̿̉͋̃͊̿̏͊̔͛̌͘͘ ̷͌̕G̴̛̛͑̋́̆̎͑̐̽̀̍͋͗̽̚̕o̶̭̹̣͇̖̖͎̓̒̔d̶̍͝ thing, and my character end up offhandedly mentioning it sometimes. I just figured I'd give credit.Betas are Jackdraw and Frostfire

“Oh come on playboy. Are you seriously worried about not being my main chick?”
Jason looks at him like he’s crazy, which feels surprisingly nostalgic given their history, but he shakes his head anyway, accusatory tone dropping from his voice. “I can’t believe I do this with you.”
“Believe it sugar.” Eddie wiggles his hips, jostling both them and the car. “You just can’t make up this kinda sweetness.”

Summary
When Regulus was 7 years old, he watched his mother beat his brother next to a shattered vase. Regulus had watched his mother’s beady eyes turn on him at his shaky breaths, and Regulus had fled. He ran and ran, stumbling into one of the rooms at Grimmauld Place, crouching behind a curtain in the far end of the room.
Except the curtain then slipped off when Regulus’ trembling hands fisted around it.
That’s when he saw the mirror and met the boy who lived within it, who he named Eri. Eri, who became his best and only friend. Eri, who kept him company and helped him through the worst of times in that cursed house. The imaginary friend that Regulus had to abandon to grow up.
So imagine his shock when he spends a year hating Sirius’ best friend, who he believes stole his brother away, only to join Hogwarts himself and find himself staring into a pair of familiar eyes.
Said boy being James Potter, who seems equally curious about Regulus.
