  Summary

  The Skip Button Ending has finally ended, but the damage has been done, and neither Stanley nor the Narrator are as good at moving on as they think they are. Like everything else in the Parable, this has to be learned the hard way. At least this time they're not alone.

  Summary

  The Narrator waits. Stanley presses the button.
  There is no choice to make.

  It isn't the end. It never is. But it wouldn't hurt to have some company.

  Summary

  Stanley needs some time to himself.

  Or:
  A simple, little fic with no real plot relevance to my larger TSP series feat. the Curator because the fandom (including me) doesn't do enough with her character.

  Summary

  The Narrator is an unfeeling, callous, selfish deity; Stanley is a stubborn, violent character. Neither of them have any regard for the other's safety or well-being. Stanley especially holds no concern for anything other than himself. None.

  ...Okay, maybe a little bit. They've been acting weird for a while now. He's a little worried. Just a little.
