ENVY (Mario: The Music Box ARC) by Rotting_Enchantress
5 parts Ongoing Mature
The sin of Envy. The overwhelming longing for the blessings and achievements of another. This feeling that is capable of making one doubt their own self worth and meaning in this world, and he was no exception. While he was alive, he felt this envy for his very own brother, whom he cherished dearly. Upon his death, however, this overwhelming burden of envy plagues him to his grave and created a being that is composed of all of his resentment and covetousness. A being comprised of his loathing and bitterness and one that has only one goal in mind: to step out the shadows and kill the one that forced him to experience such an existence. And, just his luck, this person is right in his grasp. Within the church of sins, from whence he came, he looks forward to showing his "beloved brother" who shall truly stand victorious. All he shall see as he takes his final breaths... ...is green. Disclaimer: Characters do not belong to me.

The Gray Toad | Toad Reader x Creepypasta/FNF Mario Madness by AnimeKidKT
52 parts Ongoing
You are a gray toad, an anomaly in the Mushroom Kingdom where the vibrant colors of your kin are the norm. Most toads are brimming with energy and chatter, but not you. You've always been more introverted, often wandering inside the kingdom in solitude, content in your quiet life, but you still hang with around with them. That is, until Princess Peach starts to notice you. Intrigued by your quiet nature and unique appearance, she finds you different from the rest; you were special. Things take an unexpected turn when one fateful day, Bowser kidnaps you in your sleep. But as he leaves you for a bit, you were dragged through a mysterious pipe that leads you to different dimensions within the Mushroom Kingdom. Each world you find yourself in is a warped, nightmarish reflection of your own, with uncanny versions of Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, and others. These alternate realities are not as you know them; they're broken, twisted, and haunted by their own despair. As you navigate these strange and unsettling dimensions, it becomes your mission to bring some semblance of warmth and hope back to these fractured versions of your friends. Your journey is one of healing, showing them kindness, love, and perhaps even redemption in the hopes that, together, you can restore them to happiness and bring them home to your dimension, the only place you know where there's peace. (Based on Creepypasta's and Mario Madness V2 Mod) (Cross-posted on Ao3) (Updates twice a month)
"Almost Green" by NUmaker

Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!

"I'm overthinking, I would never hurt him... right?" For a while, Mario has been having the same... strange... nightmares that feel too real to be true. He always seems to hurt someone in the 'mares, and it's almost always the same person. The thought of it makes the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom go paranoid of hurting his friends, especially the one he loves the most. His strange behavior due to his sheer paranoia causes him to make rash decisions, some he can fix in a flash, and some he can never forgive himself for. "Mario, why have you been keeping secrets from me?" [I DO NOT OWN THE MARIO FRANCHISE OR ANYTHING FROM IT USED IN THIS STORY] [ALL CREDIT GOES TO NINTENDO]
