Lightbulb wakes up in Hotel OJ to find everything... perfect. Too perfect.
Everyone's acting like the best possible versions of themselves - Knife is gentle and soft-spoken, Taco and Pickle are happily together with no tension, and Balloon has completely dropped his desperate people-pleasing act. Even MePhone seems more stable and kind.
At first, Lightbulb thinks this is amazing! All the conflict and drama that used to stress her out are gone. But something feels fundamentally wrong. The conversations are too polite, the smiles too consistent, and everyone keeps insisting they've "always been this way."
When Lightbulb tries to bring up past arguments or drama, everyone looks at her with genuine confusion. "Lightbulb, why would you think Knife ever threatened anyone?" "Taco would never manipulate people, that's such a mean thing to suggest!" They seem genuinely hurt that she'd imply they were ever anything but perfect.
She has to choose: pretend to be the "normal" version of herself that they want, or risk everything to restore her friends' true selves. But the more she fights against the artificial normalcy, the more she questions if maybe being "fixed" wouldn't be so bad after all...

Until Something Breaks

75 parts Ongoing Mature

I.I evil-ish[?] Mepad au (Collab with Vixenthelorekeeper, cross posted on her Ao3) What's worse, a hero without a heart, or a villain with one? Lives have been lost, too many people have gotten hurt, cruelty and unfairness runs rampant and infects everyone. MePad reached his breaking point a while ago, but now it's all finally broken. A heavy heart freezes over, and soon leads him to places he'd never thought he'd be, never thought he'd return to, but, anything for justice. A single choice divides everyone, leading to people to make decisions they never thought they'd have to, having to face truths they would much rather not, turn their back on people they once cared for. All waiting for the final curtain to fall on this desperate dance. *~WARNING~* This contains: - Major Injury - Detailed[?] gore and organs and stuff - Detailed[?] death - No wait actually pretty fluff detailed death, like,/srs - Past/Implied Abuse - Implied SH - Cannibalism[It's, like, only one chapter or smth] - Drugs[?, the medical kind, not 𝓌 𝑒 𝑒 𝒹 or smth] - Experimented on - BEING FLUFFING ASSIMILATED- - Probably more but I don't fluffing remember ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you feel triggered by any of this, please don't read.
