have some asriel & chara under the cht. not done jsut want to post

The sun is bright.

That's the first thing Asriel notices as he steps out past the Barrier. Some knowledge he can't quite figure out when he acquired tells him it's late afternoon - just far enough into the day for the sun to be visible without him having to crane his neck back too much. The sky is a clear blue. It's so beautiful, almost inviting him to stare.. and so he does. He stands there, transfixed, for just a moment, forgetting the reason he's able to be out here in the first place.

.. That is, until someone speaks.

* Asriel, you can't stare at the sun like that. It's not good for your eyes.

"Chara?" The voice comes from everywhere and nowhere at once, inside him somhow. Even still, he looks down at the child cradled in his arms. Their eyes are still closed, and he shudders at the memory of the glassy brown they had become before Asriel's mother had gently shut them, her motions like wiping away her child's tears. A part of him recoils at the thought.

Of course, the corpse doesn't speak. It doesn't move. It's dead, soulless, doll-eyed and empty. He looks around some more.

* I'm in your brain, idiot. You absorbed my SOUL.

The words are unkind, but he can hear the smile in his sibling's voice. That snort is them trying to hold back a laugh. They never were very good at that.

Chara clears their throat somehow, interrupting his premature nostalgia.

* That's the sun. If you stare at it too long you'll hurt your eyes.

"Was it always this.. bright?" Asriel asks, but he keeps his eyes averted, staring at the rest of the wide blue sky instead. It's all so big.

* Indeed it was. The Barrier messed it up somehow, I think? It's like you've looking at it from underwater your whole life.

There's a pause.

* They really wanted to suck the joy out of every little thing, didn't they.

"Well, it didn't work! 'Cause we got you, and you gave all of us hope."

* And then I went and killed myself. Freedom for monsterkind, at the cost of my own.

* Speaking of freedom for monsterkind, we should get moving before Mom and Dad come looking. I know they cannot follow us out here, but I don't trust Mom not to figure out a whole new way to bypass the Barrier to keep her baby boy safe.

Asriel snorts. "Hehe, she would."

things running away at seventeen will teach you

inspired by this

freedom leaves a bitter aftertaste, and you will miss the sweetness of its fruit every day. you will count down the days until you can taste it again.

you will love the family who takes you in as your own. you've gained a sister, even if you don't talk anymore.

that bitter aftertaste will affect you, and the people you care about most may find they know it as well as you do.

you are free.

balancing work and school is hard, especially without a car, but getting your license isn't worth it until you're ready. it's important to take such a big step at your own pace.

you are safe.

you will attempt to recapture the sweetness you've become addicted to, jar it and preserve it as long as possible in order to make it through the interim. it won't work, and it will rot before you make it.

finding new people to love will rekindle your love for the ones you've had all your life. you'll find more joy in the little things with them.

he is gone.

if you want someone to stay out of your life, it's best not to reach out to them. you may find old scabs you didn't know existed reopening if you do.

oh my god, you were free.

you'll miss it more than anything. it will come back.

you are free. you are safe. he is gone.
