Summary
After being told by his brother to get a “more respectable job”, failed freelance DJ Dave Strider chooses the only logical option. He enlists in Skaia City's fire academy and ends up at Station 413, where he works alongside his aforementioned sibling (and, coincidentally, his older cousin).
Karkat Vantas, meanwhile, is 413's notoriously no-nonsense captain, and his newest employee isn't just a thorn in his side. No, it's obvious from the start that Dave Strider is more like a festering wound in his otherwise flawless operation.
(The 9-1-1-inspired DaveKat fic that only the author dreamed about!)

Summary
Now Airing on Channel 413: Karkat Vantas is an overworked and underpaid retail worker at Windsock Books. When his usual coworker leaves for the holidays, he's forced to interact with the general public. Enter Dirk Strider, twelve, and his less-than-ideal — perhaps even bordering on downright awful — guardian. Can any of them survive through the holidays without being sucked into a tooth-rottingly sweet Christmas film? (The answer is “no, absolutely not.”)

Summary
Dave Strider is a celebrated film director running on exhaustion, deadlines, and borrowed caffeine. Every morning, he hides in an overpriced coffee shop, writing scripts and pretending he is just another customer. Karkat Vantas is the assistant manager who keeps that café standing through sheer force of will, sharp words, and unpaid emotional labor.
When Dave shows his gratitude in an unusual way, and the morning snowballs further, Dave flees. Karkat stays behind. Both of them are left with the echo of something that mattered more than either expected.
Months later, exhaustion drags Dave back through the café doors and into Karkat’s orbit. When Dave learns how under appreciated Karkat is, Dave opens a door into the film world. Karkat steps through it and proves he belongs there. On set, chaos becomes craft, exhaustion becomes shared, and control finally stops being lonely.
This is a story about labor and art, about being seen without being used, about second chances that are earned rather than gifted. And about accidentally saying “I love you” over fries, when you finally stop running long enough to mean it.

Summary
When Dave got a call from Aradia, he was right on that shit, he picked up the phone faster than anyone could look. She managed to wrangle some job in a commercial archaeology company, almost immediately after college. She told Dave she would ask around for jobs for him, but couldn't promise anything, so he couldn't help but hope for the best when he picked up the phone.
"I have a job."
That's what Dave was talking about, hell yeah.
"It's not in archaeology."
And Dave was fucked, once more.
OR
Dave finds a job as a mascot for a college baseball team, with little to no baseball knowledge, and there he meets the catcher of the team, Karkat Vantas.

Summary
A big, fat line of D’s ran down his screen—honestly, not that different from normal, all things considered.
But at the bottom, written in bright red letters, all caps, bolded for stupid emphasis as if he couldn’t tell something really fucking bad from something really fucking maybe okay actually, spelled his inescapable doom: MINIMUM GPA REQUIREMENT NOT MET, STUDENT ON ACADEMIC PROBATION UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. SEE ADVISOR IMMEDIATELY.
Fuck.
Dave Strider is a junior in college and nearing the end of his rope. After two years of fumbling his way through his computer science and engineering classes, the other shoe has finally dropped: he's fucked it up. Coping comes in the form of a loud-mouthed barista that Dave can't seem to do anything except enrage, while Karkat seems incapable of getting Dave to fuck off for good, for better or for worse. With a month-long winter break looming, loneliness begins to set in. Shit gets dire, bro.

Summary
There aren't all that many safe routes off Alternia for a mutant, but signing on to the Imperial Gladiatorial League has worked out pretty fucking well for Karkat Vantas. Turns out trolls all across the universe will pay out the nose for a chance to see The Hotblood bleed red.
Earth is just the next stop in Karkat's never-ending arena circuit, and the Strider Brothers are just another pair of opponents. And getting up close and personal with alien anatomy is just another perk of touring.

You are DAVE STRIDER. You are SIXTEEN YEARS OLD, and by all accounts, still a REALLY COOL DUDE. You take interest in MAKING ILL BEATS, taking ARTISTIC PICTURES of the vast CAN TOWN LANDSCAPE and, more recently, MAKING OUT WITH ALTERNIAN BOYS.
Okay, maybe not all Alternian boys, but definitely this one specifically.
Said Alternian boy - KARKAT VANTAS - is currently sliding his hands hesitantly under your shirt, and through the suave of your AMAZINGLY PRECISE KISSES, you are fighting the BIGGEST SHIT-EATING GRIN OF YOUR LIFE.

Summary
Dove turned her head on the pillow. She could just make out the familiar landscape of Karkat’s face in the gloom: the strong line of her nose, the soft curve of her mouth, the dark pools of her eyes. “Okay,” she conceded. “I was thinking… this is good.”
Karkat let out a soft, exasperated huff of air. “More of your famously vague pronouncements. Define your terms, Strider. What is ‘good’?”
“You,” Dove said, because in the intimate democracy of the dark, she could speak in plain truths. “Here. With me. The grocery store wars and the stupid tantrums and the hair-petting. It’s… good.”
Karkat was quiet for a long moment. The only sound was the whisper of the fan and the faint, rhythmic sigh of their breathing. Then she shifted, moving closer, tucking her head beneath Dove’s chin, her forehead pressing against Dove’s collarbone. Her voice, when it came, was small and hushed, stripped of all its defensive armor. “Yeah. It is.” A pause. “For the record, you’re my favorite thing, too. Even when you're the worst sometimes.”
