    Summary

    Hal finds himself stranded aboard a certain meteor, impact-bound for Houston, Texas circa 1995. And everything spirals out from there.

    Because sometimes, when a system seems to be just short of defunct, all that is required is to take a step back and reevaluate the materials at hand and redistribute your available resources.

    And so, with birth comes a countdown on a cycle that begins as it ends: In the red.

    Summary

    What if the reckoning came just a little bit earlier during the beta trolls session, meaning Karkat and Kanaya missed a few more genes for the genesis frog? What if this was a self indulgent "everyone lives" fanfic? What if Mom Lalonde and Dad Egbert kissed on the mouth?

    Summary

    Dave Strider and John Egbert have a bet going on - who can get the most YouTube views on a single video in a week? John decides to go for something simple, a video essay on one of his favorite movies. Dave, on the other hand, decides to commit to the totally ironic bit of becoming a YouTube idol, complete with glittery makeup and cutesy dances. He adopts the moniker of "Dame Dawn, Knight of Time-themed idol" for the bit. He's really gotta sell it if he wants to win his bet, you know?

    Unfortunately for him, his career takes off in record time and he has to contend with all the trials that comes with. Conventions, concerts, interviews, the whole nine yards.

    Double unfortunately for him, he has to confront how ironic it actually is that he's a full time idol — and, more importantly, full time girl — now.


    Now Playing: Dame Dawn Knight of Time is a half-comedy half-heartfelt take on gender through the lens of performing both masculinity and femininity. Dave -- as the newfound idol, Dawn -- navigates both the unfamiliar world of idols and his (or her) own gender. Will he discover something new about himself, or crumble under the pressure of his idol job?

    Summary

    "Karkat Vantas wasn't a religious man, but these days he found himself praying to keep his people safe."

    5 years after the initial outbreak. As people learn to live again and not just survive, we see them processing their grief and fighting to keep themselves stable. Most cling to the past, others hold onto the lives they've built. Who will survive? Who will thrive? In this new world you're more likely to be torn apart by your fellow man than you are the undead. A zombie story focused less about following tropes and cliches and more about the survivors left behind and the toll this new life has had on them.

    Summary

    Apotheosis (noun): the highest point in the development of something; culmination or climax; the elevation of someone to divine status; deification

    A young troll wakes up in a strange house with doors locked from the inside, left with only her name and an idea of what she is: Mari, the limeblood, the last of her caste and the newest prisoner of Liminal Space, a twisting labyrinth inhabited by twisted monsters. Hunted by a dark and sadistic entity that commands Liminal Space, Mari is forced to confront not only the part of her past that connects her to Liminal Space, but her past as a troll, which includes a mysterious connection to another troll named Sollux Captor and one of Alternia's most dire sins.

    But as more is uncovered and the stakes rise beyond anything even Paradox Space could conceive, Mari's fate soon becomes uncertain and she is thrust into a game that may demand more out of her than she can give. Will Liminal Space break her like it has so many, leaving her a plaything to a cruel false god? Or can a nihilistic manic pixie dream girl knockoff and a pessimistic gamer save each other from their own destined ends, and in doing so, save everything and everyone worth saving?

    Summary

    Everything went black.
    When they were able to open their eyes again they stared up at a star-filled, one-moon sky.

    Lying in an empty field, the previously doomed are offered a chance to make things right.
    Learn to work together. Learn to care for the young.
    This world is not new, and they lost so much to get it.
    But maybe, if they do it right this time, they can make all those sacrifices worth it.

    Summary

    So- after my previous fic started, i ended up creating another new troll. And then i got wondering how things would change in my previous fic if he was there.

    Problem is, as of writing this, I'm 11 chapters in and just got to the meteor, cant just retroactively add a character to one of the parties- would be a writing no-no!
    So this is my solution- a new fic, with this extra character!

    HIGHLY recommend checking my other fic before reading this one, so you can see how my other characters work! As outside of when needed, they will not be the POV characters- this fic is focused on one character.

    While i haven't written that far yet in the other fic, once we get to SGRUB, its* based on the planned "final run"- time shenanigans will be limited, and spoilers may be heavy for the other fic! You have been warned!

    *(this plan has already changed so im seemingly in planning limbo but i shall cross that when i come to it and get to Sgrub)

    Summary

    A few pesterlogs between random characters written out just for the hell of it. But beware before you jump into the wonderful spectacle of Karkat's anger issues and Sollux' sassy remarks, because these bad boys really have the tendency to either be completely fucking trash or loosely (a lot) drift away from canon. If you still can't fight your unbearable desire to read it, don't say I didn't warn you.

    Most of them came into being with my best friend and a bunch of little notes we passed each other during school. It's amazing how a good math class can bring out your inner writer. It's also amazing how much of the lesson you miss.

    Summary

    A legacy, born of the promise of success and succession. A story, carried by all, but not by many.

    Monologues of the burden(s) upon Alternia and its past, present, and future, this is a series of reflections from many various timelines of how things went well for some, but didn't for others, and how this reflects the unseen lessons and burdens each Alternian carries.

    Rated explicit for themes such as: death, class, language/cussing, the act of insulting another based on identity/ability/gender, and mature themes.
