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.

The gods and mortals are in a race against increasingly erratic time and space in hopes of salvaging this world they all live in.

Summary

Summary
Karkat practically flies up the stairs to the meteor’s roof. He can’t hear anything over his own breathing, but he feels the snapping of blood from blood.
He feels when things are wrong. And oh fuck, are they ever wrong. He feels like he’s going to throw up, but he just forces himself to fall up the steps even faster. Don’t be late again. Don’t fucking do that, Vantas.
He stumbles out, heaving in breaths as he takes in the scene, brain working furiously to compensate for the terror thrumming in his veins and the pounding of his head.

NOTE: This fic is ergodic (think House of Leaves), which means it cannot be downloaded for offline perusal on your kindle/pdf reader. Also has CYOA elements, so clicking “Entire Work” will make the fic impossible to read.

Summary
“You nervous?” Dave turned to the sound of his brother’s voice, momentarily distracted from the half-folded paper in his hands.
“Nah, not really?” he replied with a shrug, partially surprised at the question. “This job seems pretty standard. Transporting a retired ship to its home planet for scrapping. Easy peasy.”
Born as a set of quadruplets, Dave and his siblings grew up attached to each others’ sides like a human monkey chain. Having each others’ backs proved more difficult once they became young adults, however. Their separate interests began pulling them in different directions, but thankfully Dave and his siblings did share the desire to leave Mars together. They had all decided to go the “interstellar traveler” route, and agreed to take multiple tracks at the Interstellar Travel Academy to become their own self-sustaining crew and eventually buy their own ship.
One morning Dave woke up to an Earth-based company looking for an individual with both engineering and pilot experience, which he was. With only one other crewmate aboard the payout would be insanely good, so Dave took it without hesitation. And now the day had finally come.

Summary
After the torchlight red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and palace and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience—"The Waste Land," T.S. Eliot

Summary
John stared at the eyeless muse, waiting for her to crack a joke or at least a smile. Something to let the poor kid know that this wasn't what was actually waiting for him--for all of them--so close to the end of the game. No such solace came, and a dull memory began to flicker in the back of the teenager's head, one that burned hot for just a moment before fading quietly into a migraine waiting to happen. A memory of himself and his ectobiological sister. And a movie he hadn't realized was as AWFUL as it was.
"So, is being a shitty writer a requirement for cherubs, or is it a family trait?"
The Heir of Breath is recruited by Alternate Calliope to help ensure Homestuck^2 never happens. The clearest way to make it work is to force the game to run a patch before its completion, but it will require a lot of work on John's end, and the results are something no one but Alt Calliope and her increasingly fed up editor could have expected. John has never felt closer to the Makaras, and as time goes on, the feelings start to be reciprocated.

Summary
College freshman Jake English is doing fiiiine. Sure, his high school friends don’t talk to him anymore, and maybe he hasn’t gotten around to making new ones, but surely getting laid at frat parties is a viable alternative?
There’s no way one night can change his life, even if it features a strange allegorical trip courtesy of a certain drug- and hope- (and love?-) fueled hallucination of his ex-boyfriend.

Summary
And then he startles—turns, peering at Brobot with narrowed, assessing eyes. His teeth catch his bottom lip.
“You ain’t gonna start swinging, are ya?” He chews thoughtfully, mouth full and words muddy. “’Cause usually when you turn up, I get the livin’ daylights knocked outta me, and I can’t say I’m terribly in the mood at present.”
Brobot doesn’t answer.

Summary
You rush back to the TV and grab your phone off the coffee table, swiping it open and looking at the copy of a flyer your little brother made. It was an obvious ironic masterpiece that the two of you laughed at for hours after it was made, cemented with the promise that he could post it wherever he wanted on the known basis between the both of you that no one would show up because of how ridiculous it is. The flyer reads:
JAMMIN' WITH STRIDER!!
BITCHES ONLY
HE'S FUCKING EVERYBODY!!!!
DUDES GET A FREE BULLET TO THE HEAD!!!!There's a crude drawing of you in the corner with a bubble next to it saying "'sup" along with a "THIS RADICAL PARTY IS APPROVIED BY DIRK STRIDER" that is accompanied by your signature at the bottom. It's so painfully clear that it's a joke that you didn't even remember the date was set for today. Why the fuck would Dave have to worry about getting out of here when that's the case?
