    Summary

    "Tucker’s mother had been a woman of many words and phrases and wisdoms, and among her favorites were ways of telling her son that he was just too stubborn for his own good, like, 'if he dug in his heels any harder she could pull him by the arms and plow a field'. And he *was* stubborn, 'to a fault longer than the San Andreas Line', which meant he committed, for better or worse.

    And he was pretty committed to doing jackshit in this canyon but standing around and talking–and if he had to do it with anyone, he probably would have preferred Church, but Washington seemed like an alright enough guy, under all the freelancer bullshit. Tex hadn’t been bad company, either, on days that they hadn’t annoyed her too much and she loosened up a bit.

    If Tucker could make a friend out of Church and make good company with Texas, he could certainly make something decent out of Agent Washington, and he was prepared to be incredibly stubborn about it."

    Summary Has Been Changed, on account of i didn't think the original reflected the contents very well, so if you've scrolled past or clicked on this fic before and think to yourself, "hey, that looks different!" shhhhh, no it doesn't.

    Summary

    In the dark apartment, with Chuuya in his arms, half delirious and wholly broken, the softness seeps into Dazai’s voice unbidden.

    “We’re at your place, I’m going to put you in bed. And you’re going to be nice this time.”

    Chuuya hides his face under the coat thrown over him, rests his head against Dazai, and hums.

    It could be an agreement, not that it means anything. He’s not really here, not fully, and these things are never nice. Dazai won’t resent him for it.

    OR: Dazai takes care of post-corruption Chuuya. Except this time, Arahabaki keeps coming back.

    Summary

    Seeking refuge on another planet was supposed to be the hard part. Making new friends, traversing family secrets, dealing with break ups, it's all a lot harder than you think. Add on top some sort of strange video game, it's a mess.

    Follow Karkat, Dave, Sollux, Kankri, Dirk, Cronus, Jake, and Hal as they attempt to navigate the nuance and trials they're faced with.

    Summary

    You don’t know what you were expecting. He’s gone all the time, off to different planets trying to make the galaxy a better place. Doing insane work to help parts of the universe that the old Alternian empire once ravaged. It’s admirable. And you- well you’ve stayed stuck on this stupid little planetoid, a broken, retired engine who’s probably not even all there anymore. Why wouldn’t he have found someone better?

    You’ve seen a picture of them together. He showed it to you when you were on a call much like the one you’re on now. You recognized the guy, met him briefly on the last shore leave. If you had known then what you know now– you can’t even say you would do anything different. He scowls at you on call, cheeks flushed a deep red. You know he makes him happy.

    Still, when he tells you he's inviting his new matesprit to visit with you, your pusher stops.

    Summary

    Everyone else came out brand new, a bright new chance. They're happy. No one's dead or crippled.

    Karkat came our scarred and broken. He's uncomfortable in his own skin and he can't tell anyone why. He never got his new chance.

    To everyone else the game never happened. But Karkat is a Blood player. And he remembers. He remembers everything.
