Biscia's Toriel fic recs list
An Old Goat Can Teach New Tricks (Gen, 8.9k words, TP, Toriel centric) blatant favorite everyone read this it needs to be a character classic in the fandom right NEOWWW.
With part of her mind always on issues beyond raising and teaching children, Toriel decides to do her part to show the humans that monsters come in peace. And what better way to teach that fact than going to a human school to do it?
Bittersweet Thirteen (Gen, 5.8k words, TP, Fluff, Angst, Grief, Toriel & Frisk)
Toriel always dreads this day.

home, heart & heartache (Gen, 4.7k words, Pre-canon, angst, Toriel & the Fallen Humans (& Sans). Warning for graphic child death).
You leave the palace and your crown behind, and vanish behind a stone door nobody can pass. In the ruins, you can build a safe haven, protect any further children that drop from up above. Perhaps you could become a mother, again, and try to understand what drew these children up the mountain and into the abyss to begin with. Try to heal that wound.
You suppose this is a form of cowardice in itself.
The Bedtime Story. (Gen, 1.2k words, Humor, Toriel & Frisk)

All is right, she tells herself.
