Summary
You're mostly settled in this odd, new arrangement on the surface. Honestly, it's better than you expected. You have a room, a school duty, and a pretty boring but solid routine. You stop waiting for the other shoe to drop and cautiously start enjoying the predictability. For the first time in forever, life is pretty much OK. You could do without Frisk complaining about you scaring off your classmates, sure, but it's a small price to pay for other kids leaving you two in peace. You get regular meals, eight hours... well, alright, eight hours of opportunity to sleep and something to be looking forward to every day. Even if that something is a boring math lesson.
That is, until your dead Mom appears in the school hallway and the whole world around you starts crumbling.This is fine.
***
Things are not fine.
With Toriel's sudden appearance, the short period of peace is officially over. Chara starts spiraling out of control, and despite your best efforts, you're helpless to stop them. With your frantic search for solutions and stolen monster food hidden under your bed, you can't shake off the feeling that you won't be able to turn things around this time.

Summary
So it turns out that surviving on the surface is significantly harder than saving an entire civilization, build-a-bearing a body from sheer spite and force of will and outliving a whole world being wiped out of reality. Who knew?
Chara and Frisk have somehow crossed the barrier and now it's time to brave the surface together. It goes as well as anyone could expect.
Some backstories are revealed. (Some more reluctantly then others.) Some food is scavenged, salvaged and eaten. Some... is not.
Frisk and Chara learn a great deal about each other and grow even closer than in the Underground. They might be technically homeless but when has that ever stopped them?A direct continuation of It's not chocolate but it's still pretty good. Just like with any installment in this series, you don't need to read the other works to enjoy this one.

Summary
You are staring at the underside of Chara's bed, casting a shadow over your own. There are uneven gaps in the bed frame, showing bumps of a yellowed mattress. They're not very interesting to look at, but your eyes are glued to them, too tired to move.
Your thoughts are slow like you're freezing over. Everything feels distinctly unreal. Hazy, muddled, and fading like a dream. You want to get up to check on Chara but you can't. You can't move. Your body won’t listen. It's like it isn't really yours. Maybe it never was? Maybe you just borrowed a vessel that was never truly yours to begin with and now you're finally drifting away, freeing it from your influence.
Or: Frisk is having a rough evening and Chara helps.
A companion piece to Taking root Both can be read independently.

Summary
They say that those who climb Mt. Ebott don't ever come back. It's a good thing, then, that you don't intend to. Or at least that’s what you tell yourself until the voice in your head gets a name and so does the suddenly-not-so-empty space in your chest.
Or: Frisk and Chara through many, many resets. From the beginning to an end.

Summary
What if timing had been just a bit different? Where the Weasleys got a ticket to Egypt several years earlier, Sirius escapes when Harry is just about to turn ten, and when he visits him to find he's in the care of the Dursleys, what godfather would leave him there?
With no one from before the war to go to, however, Sirius can only think of one person who can fill all the requirements: Someone he can contact or find, someone who can heal both of them, someone who won't tell the wizarding world that Harry is gone from it's muggle version, and someone who cared for Harry's parents the same way Sirius did. Or at very least, cared for one of them enough to get involved to stop Harry's abuse.
The only one who checks off all the boxes, though, is none other than Severus Snape. -

Summary
On the first day of summer after 5th year, Harry is sure that he will have the longest, worst summer of his life. Still grieving Sirius and with thoughts of the prophecy, his only thought is to make it to Hogwarts in the fall.
His plans are ruined when a Death Eater attack leaves the Dursleys dead, the blood wards destroyed, and Severus Snape's cover as spy blown. Now, both are wanted by the Dark Lord and in danger. For their own safety, Dumbledore sends the two to a safe house, far to the north -- a cottage by the sea. There, Harry and Severus learn far more about each other than they ever dreamed.
(Post OoTP, but alternate HBP. Pure Severitus angst. No Snarry romance, but maybe a little Hinny. Not beta read or Britt picked.)

Summary
“This one is a bit of an escape artist,” the shelter worker explains, “and he can be quite reactive. Are you sure you wouldn’t like to look at another? He may not be a good fit.”
Ugh, this again.
Jason curls up more tightly, wedging his nose beneath his tail so he can’t see whatever ‘adopters’ have come to peer piteously at him. He considers the logistics of making another escape attempt if the door is opened—until, that is, a boy’s voice abruptly arrests his attention.
“No,” Damian Wayne says, kneeling before Jason’s kennel. “I want this one.”
Jason encounters a villain who turns people into animals.
Damian, meanwhile, adopts a dog.

Summary
Icy rain washed down over Severus’s head and shoulders, but the sensation was nothing to the chill that snaked its way down his back. The dog stood on its hind legs, forepaws braced against the gate, its teeth bared in a silent snarl a mere hand’s breadth from Severus’s throat. This close, the intelligence in its eyes was no longer deniable. For one sharp, treacherous instant, Severus froze, wondering what, exactly, was standing in front of him.
-
Sent to investigate the failing wards at Number Four Privet Drive after his least favorite student turns his aunt into a helium balloon, Severus Snape finds himself saddled with a horrifically abused thirteen-year-old boy and an infuriatingly clever Omen of Death that sheds on the sofa. With a werewolf at the staff table, dementors encircling the school, and a crazed mass-murderer on the loose, Severus is surprised to find that he does not mind the entanglement as much as he would have expected.
