Summary
“A-aren’t you scared?”
The question hits Yoshiki almost like a slap to the face, demanding to know why he’s not more scared than he is. Because he is, of course he is, why wouldn’t he be? Who in their right mind wouldn’t be terrified of what’s going on here, what the potential for catastrophe might be?
The simple answer is yes.
The correct answer though is…
It’s more complex than just that.
———
Yoshiki and Hikaru going through the motions, pretending not to notice the cracks in their new normal.
They can pretend at least, for a little while, until they can't anymore.
Sequel to "And we buried ourselves out there in those hills"

Summary
Something came back with them. From the mountain…
Yoshiki can see it. In the fuzzy blur of every movement Hikaru makes. In the way his smile sometimes becomes tense and wary. In the way his eyes linger on Yoshiki longer than they ever have before, with a glimmer of some dark, rich color that stains the almost mirror-like shine of Hikaru’s eyes.
Something came back with them from that mountain…
And it’s all Yoshiki’s fault.
———
Yoshiki found him—in the nick of time, he found him. Hikaru is home and alive because of him.
And that's something Yoshiki can never take back...

The quiet are restless, the silent are still by RaindropsOnAsphalt
Fandoms: Haunted Hotel (Cartoon)

Summary
In a place such as the Undervale Hotel, those that call the sprawling halls and enchanted rooms their place of rest were never quite truly at rest.
That being said, there was a time, a span of a scant few hours between midnight and the witching hour in which a hush fell over the building. Suddenly, all was quiet, all was still… Peaceful even. The restless spirits lulled into a sort of calm that allowed the hotel's proprietors a chance to get some much needed, human rest.
———
Left to his own devices while the Freeling family sleeps, Abaddon finds himself contemplating what this human family means to him, and whether or not he should kill Ben for moving his candy to the fridge.

Summary
“Yoshiki…” ‘Hikaru’ starts, soft and tentative, like Yoshiki is some scared, wounded animal that will flee or snap at the slightest startle. “Do ya miss him?”
His heart lurches, catching on each rib as it tilts sideways in his chest.
“Every single day…”
Another pause, another tense moment as ‘Hikaru’ visibly wrestles with some great conflict in the sprawling vastness of weeping fractals and grey matter churning in his skull. Bleeding greys dart to meet Yoshiki’s eyes, then drop to the floor.
For a fleeting moment, the cicadas quiet outside when ‘Hikaru’ speaks.
“There’s…somethin’ I wanna show ya, Yoshiki.”
—
A fic exploring Yoshiki’s unresolved grief, Hikaru’s wish, and an idea I’ve had that ‘Hikaru’ is not bound by the human concept of time.
