I would like to see an AU where Chara didn't die. Either Asriel talked them off poisoning themselves, they figured out that their plan wouldn't work, or they just reset at some point.

They are still a messed up kid, who seriously needs love and attention. I mean any child could pass as addicted to these, and Chara has years of deprivation to make up for.

Things get interesting when the other kids start falling down. Chara won't like the idea that they have to share love and attention with any newcomers. Their supposed hatred towards other humans could also be added to the pile. Also, harvesting human souls with the storage tubes Asgore uses in the game seems like a good plan B. On the other hand, none of the monsters would approve of killing humans, especially their adoptive family, and the kids would be relatable to Chara through their personal tragedies that led them to Mount Ebott.

It doesn't matter if Chara ends up killing the kids in secret until Frisk arrives, or trying to adapt to their presence. Both sound interesting if done correctly.
