1. Chara, Frisk, and Asriel growing up post-True Pacifist and *gasp* having a sex life.
2. Writing Charasriel porn in general, because two friends who are close "like siblings" somehow means they're blood-related and should be condemned as incest.
3. Treating pit bulls like dogs instead of demons.

I wanted to be true to my headcanons for Frisk and Chara—one of my hcs being that they're both on the intersex spectrum. I'm crossing my fingers that I do them justice in smutfic (both "they're human beings, not sex objects"-wise and "OW OW bodies don't work like that!"-wise), which was partly why I held back posting this to Ao3 for so long.

I've always liked the idea of Chara having a service dog post-True Pacifist, especially a pit bull. Chara and pit bulls go together like PB&J; they're grossly misunderstood and wrongly judged and mistreated. A friend and I talked about how awesome this would be, and then this fic happened. XD

I always wondered what Loid, Ana, and Teddy must've thought about Magicant. Given how it's a world created from someone else's subconscious... I mix and match a bit from EB0/EBB's translation (I'll probably spell Lloyd as "Loid" forever) and Mato's (Teddy's accent, crosses instead of gravestones) because there's things I like about both of them and find charming in their own ways. :) I've also taken liberties with the dialogue here and there so nobody has to read a rehash of the game's script word for word.

Yuletide 2016 was definitely difficult for me this year. :( Depression, Writer's Block, family drama, a certain election, an overall crappy December... I'm glad my recipient liked my fic after all this. ;;
