    Summary

    “Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.”― Frank Lloyd Wright

    “They come for women, weed, and weather.” — Kendrick Lamar
    --
    Dave has spent the whole of his 20s raising his younger brother, and now they’ve left Texas for a schooling opportunity in Los Angeles for precocious seven-year-old Dirk.

    Karkat is the youngest teacher working at prestigious private school Becquerel Academy, where he has very modest dreams of teaching English literature to talented high school students. However, the administration keeps sticking him in third grade.

    The two are brought together repeatedly by proximity, coincidence, and one shared thought: Oh no, he's hot.

    (A modern love story set against the backdrop of the City of Angels)
