Summary
Extra scenes from the winter after! I'm not too far along in the fic yet, but I already have a few things I feel like throwing out there. Just for shits and giggles.
The rest is just a random hodgepodge of scenes that I feel like sharing but that don't warrant their own fic.

Summary
I looked into Mal’s eyes—his familiar blue eyes that I knew even better than my own. Except they weren’t blue. In the dying lamplight, they glimmered quartz gray.
He smiled then, a cold, clever smile like none I’d ever seen on his lips.
“I missed you too, Alina.”
Instead of responding with fear, Alina responds with anger. A different take on the scene where he comes to her.

Summary
Dave Lalonde is an internationally renown movie director arguably more famous than God, and indisputably richer. He certainly isn't expecting the bizarrely dressed stranger he runs into in the bathroom of an Academy Awards afterparty to indelibly interpose himself into his life in the worst possible ways. However much he might want to, Dirk Strider inevitably proves to be a man that Dave will never be able to forget.

Summary
"Yeah, okay," Dave said, pulling Karkat abruptly out of his thoughts. He had won the battle against smiling, though his blond eyebrows were slightly raised. "Well, I'm into Alternian guys, around 5'7, medium build. Bonus points if they work in events and always look like somebody just pissed in their cereal." He met Karkat's incredulous stare with cool indifference. Under the table, Karkat could feel his knee bouncing. "You happen to know anybody like that?"

All time favorite, so tense and frustrating and downright romantic.

Summary
“I’ve been trying to integrate some Alternian samples into my mixes lately,” Dave said, with a little half-shrug. “You know - appeasing our new overlords by totally appreciating their sick beats. I thought maybe that’s why you keep coming to see me.”
