    Summary

    Olruggio knew, long before it all came crashing down, that he’d made a terrible decision. That the consequences would catch up to him, and there’d be no avoiding a series of potentially world-ending conversations.

    He just hadn’t expected it to happen quite so spectacularly.

    The initial idea, prompted by a suggestion from an older noblewoman who’d commissioned him for something completely different, wasn’t bad at all. He’d been working on a set of singing stones, and the lady had made an offhanded comment about the potential of magic that could make an object resonate. She’d meant it as a joke, but where she saw humor, Olruggio saw potential—and told her as much.

    And just like that, he’d had a commission. And a problem.

    Summary

    She showed up at Kris’s door with her hood up and her tail twitching, smelling like smoke that wasn’t hers. She had one of her mother’s old flannels tied around her waist, the sleeves long and dragging. Kris didn’t ask. Just stepped aside.

    Toriel, from the kitchen, poked her head out and said only: “Shoes off, dear. I just mopped.”

    Like Susie belonged there.

    Like she wasn’t a guest anymore.

    Kris gave her the couch and curled up on Chariel. Susie protested, at first—“It’s your damn house, dude,” she said, “I can sleep on the floor, I’ve done it before”—but Kris was already half-buried in blankets and completely silent, which meant the conversation was over.

    At some point, when the house had gone completely quiet and the shadows settled, Susie whispered:

    “Hey.”

    Kris shifted their head to look at her.

    The moonlight caught her hair, the jagged edge of her teeth. Her eyes were clearer than they ever were at school. No posturing. No sneer. Just Susie. Bare and real in a borrowed T-shirt, her knees pulled up, her voice a rasp.

    Summary

    It feels stupid, throwing pebbles up at Kris’s window. Like something from some lame old rom-com.

    Maybe it is stupid, definitely is, but shitty music is blasting from the living room, and there’s no way Kris could sleep through that. And.

    Susie doesn’t, exactly, want to go home tonight.

    (Kris and Susie and a slight moment of respite.)
