    Summary

    Two weeks before the premiere of the biggest film of Dave's career, Bro kills himself.

    “Dead,” Dirk repeats over the phone. “Bro is D-E-A-D, dead. The apartment is a shithole. Even though the man of the hour is staying in Chez Morgue Drawer, he did a number on the place first. I wouldn’t be asking if I could handle it myself.”

    “Just call the Hoarders people. He’s your guy. I didn’t even know him.” Despite being iteration ten thousand, the lie feels less natural than it usually does. “I don’t need to be there. Neither of us do.”

    “Totally.” Dirk sounds like sidewalk. “Yeah, no, that was my first thought, but then I slept on it and applied a modicum of critical thinking. In that 'Puppet Fetish Porn Studio Unearthed in Childhood Home of Indie Darling' is gonna boost neither of our ratings.”

    Despite the tags, this is a comedy. Or is it?

    Summary

    "And then there's a customized copy of PONY PALS, a gift to you on your 14th birthday from the slippery Mr. Strider. Each page contains lovingly hand-written commentary on the deeds of this intrepid young horse. Later, about halfway through the book, rather than see the gag through to the bitter end, Strider began pasting over entire pages of original text with his own completely rewritten version of the story, while keeping all the chapter titles. His revision is a tough, emotionally draining read. But it's cathartic, in all the worst ways possible.
    He tends to get carried away with his projects."

    Note: this work is an altered book, and it plays on the physical relationship between the original pages and the edited text. As such, it's presented as a series of images. Reading the images is the only way to get the full experience, but I'm aware that some people can't/don't want to read it that way. So if that's the case, you can skip to chapter 13, which is a text-only version of the story, including rough descriptions of the most important illustrations.

    Floored. Enamored. Gobsmacked. Meta commentary masterpiece.

    Summary

    Candy!Dirk—sent spiraling by the existential catastrophe of his continuity's divergence from canon—is visited by Gamzee, triggering a plunge through the memories of his ultimate self that culminates in his decision to commit suicide.

    A fic that explores the ultimate self, touches on the unseen time between Dirk quitting as Jane's presidential campaign advisor and hanging himself from the bell tower, and answers the age-old question: what the fuck was Gamzee doing at Dirk's place when Dave discovered his suicide note? Seriously, what was he doing there? I think about this all the time. Also serves as a prologue to 'I'm Barely a Person Anymore (I'm Just a Collection of Memories That Aren't My Own),' a little Ultimate Dirk-centric series I'm working on.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Excellent introspective dialogue. Excellent characterization and in-universe grounding. + Dirk Strider centric which is 10x the points.
