    "the healer likes t' sleep. like, a lot." Axe looks at the sole female AND human member of Nightmare's subordinates. She was only ever awake for about 8-10 hours a day, rarely ever 12, it was both fascinating and irritating at the same time. He was damn sure humans would be awake for more hours than that, he even asked Murder at the time if it was normal. Said skeleton didn't give a single care though, his words: "who cares, makes her more tolerable. 'sides she gets her job done." The cracked skeleton just couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to it than meets the EYE. ━━━PHOTO CREDITS: Whale鯨豚 [@Whale5511] on X! ━━━MOST NOTABLE RANKING: #1 in sansxreader, horrortale, something new and badsanses on 23/12/2025 #1 in undertale on 25/12/2025 #3 in bittersweet on 24/12/2025 #2 in sans 18/08/2026 #1 in reader on 18/08/2026 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DATES PUBLISHED: 001 ━━ July 29th of '25

    She hides her fractures. He believes in repair. Claire has mastered the art of holding herself together-of surviving without asking to be seen. Theo understands broken things: how they split, how they ache, and how patience, not force, is what makes them beautiful again. When their lives intersect, love grows quietly in the spaces they never name. It is warm, careful, and frightening in its sincerity. But the past does not stay buried. Old wounds resurface, and healing begins to feel heavier than breaking. Là où l'on se brise, on apprend aussi à réparer. (Where we break, we also learn how to mend.)

    IN ANOTHER VERSION OF US - VOLUME 2 Some stories end before they ever get the chance to become what they were meant to be. In another version of us, maybe we stayed. Maybe we chose each other before fear, timing, and silence turned us into strangers. But this is not the story of what could have been. This is the story of the ending I wished we had-the one where I finally understand that some people can be loved deeply and still not be meant to stay. Because sometimes, the version of you I loved only exists in my memories. And maybe, in another life, we were meant to stay. A story of the ending I wished we had.

    Dear... No matter what happens... Everything will be okay I know there will be days when it feels like too much Days where all you'll want to do is cry Cry if you need to But don't stay there forever Don't be afraid to keep moving forward Don't feel guilty for smiling Don't feel guilty for laughing Those moments don't mean you've forgotten They only mean you've kept living And if you keep living... Then I'll know you're okay Because wherever life takes us... For I am here Always and forever Love...

    "The Seasons of My Life-" Some people enter our lives like seasons. They arrive unexpectedly, fill our days with warmth, laughter and memories, and before we realise it, they begin to fade away. Hinako never expected Yoshikawa Akihiko to become such a person. He was charming, carefree, and perhaps a little too fond of changing girlfriends. She was simply trying to survive school, practice her passion of writing and create weird philosophies Yet somewhere between ordinary days, late-night conversations, shared meals, laughter, and flowers blooming beneath the changing sky, an unexpected philosophy begins to form. A philosophy that neither of them knows how to name. Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Four seasons. A thousand memories. One friendship that changes everything. And when the final spring arrives, Hinako must learn that some goodbyes aren't truly endings. Sometimes, they are simply another kind of beginning.
