    Summary

    "Why is this shitfuck pan-rotting pile of artifact-ridden, glitchy, nonsensical sewage that can barely pass itself off as a movie somehow a thoughtful criticism on the global rise of authoritarianism and well-put commentary on how young working class males are forced into the military? What the actual fuck? Why do none of the other reviews mention this?"

    --

    Aka famous movie director "D Strider" pays Karkat to review his shitty movies, and Karkat grows increasingly alarmed that they actually mean something under all of the mind-numbing bullshit. Meeting Strider, the biggest douchebag in the world, does not help. Also he keeps meeting this annoyingly smart human kid and his awkward/obnoxious but very hot guardian. These two things are entirely unrelated.

    Summary

    Three nominations. Three. And at the end of the day, he spent another year empty-handed. Fuck what a mess. His third movie, a fucking masterpiece of sincerely ironic bullshit. The layers of double meaning and over-exaggerated stupidity were a fucking wonder to behold. He swallows a mouthful of beer and grimaces.

    By the sixth bottle, he is far less sloshed than he wants to be. At the rate he's been downing beer it won't be long until he stains his couch. He could get up to piss. He really should but... Something stops him. Something low and hot that tightens the front of his pants more than his bladder already has.

    He takes another sip.

    Summary

    This is a collection of stories set in the alpha timeline. They all share continuity, which is probably most obvious in the idea of Jade, Dave, and Rose having been friends, lovers, and co-conspirators for several years before Jade's death, but they are organized by writing date rather than any attempt at internal chronological order. Additionally, they are all fluffy (for certain values of fluff), because even a dystopian timeline cannot have been unrelentingly awful, and I strongly believe in the Power of Friendship.

    So, yeah. Alpha Timeline Fluff. Like it says on the tin. :)

Additionally, they are all fluffy (for certain values of fluff), because even a dystopian timeline cannot have been unrelentingly awful, and I strongly believe in the Power of Friendship.

      So, yeah. Alpha Timeline Fluff. Like it says on the tin. :)

      Series Notes:

      Okay, chronological order, because I am a twitchy and semi-compulsive organizer:

      1. Some Company Would Be Nice
      2. The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship
      3. Veritas vos liberabit
      4. To the Lees
      5. Worth It, After All
      6. Every Child a Wanted Child
      7. In Spite of Time, and Death, and the Space Between the Stars
      8. Gladly Beyond
      9. Mad Science Family Reunion
      10. Who You Are in the Dark
      11. The stream of everything that runs away
      12. Recipe for Success
      13. Contact for Proof
      14. Hollywood Shenanigans
      15. A Problem That You'll Understand
      16. Food and Cheer and Song

      Parsing a single coherent timeline might get awkward if I write any fics about Dave and Rose set after Jane and Jake enter the Medium, or about Roxy and Dirk growing up in the future, but at the moment it's still fairly straightforward.

      (...All right, yes, technically "The stream of everything that runs away" is a timeline-breaker, but I'm filing it based on the point in Dave's timeline when he accidentally zaps himself to the future rather than the point in Dirk's timeline when Dave briefly visits. It's my series, I can do what I want. *makes silly faces*)

      [Content Note: The Rose/Jade/Dave threesome is a true threesome, and therefore technically includes Rose/Dave incest. Neither Rose nor Dave are aware of their genetic relationship, they were not raised as siblings, and there's never any on-page sex... but I understand that may still be a dealbreaker. If so, please skip any of the component fics marked with the full threesome ship and pretend they're a in a triangle relationship instead, with Jade at the apex. (Which is, in fact, what happened until Jade decided that scenario was inefficient and roped her two lovers into bed at the same time).]

    Summary

    “We do what we can,” Rose says. “We prepare. We fight like hell, to the end.”
    “To the end,” Dave repeats. “I think I can manage that.”

     

     

    Rose, Dave, and the end of the world.

    Summary

    How do you even miss a person you never even met before.

    That’s stupid.

    And why the fuck does your brother’s best friend looks exactly like him?

    That’s even stupider.

    Summary

    You’ve seen them before, in countless dreams like this, but this is the first time they’re so clear. They’re so big, they seem almost inhuman, not to mention their color. Deep black pupils against golden, almost glowing, sclera. Even though they’re nothing like a pair of human eyes, there’s a softness there. This is someone who cares about you. You don’t want to look away.

    Your name is Dave Strider and you feel like you’re forgetting something important.

    ((au where alpha dave picks up a certain troll))

    Summary

    On the very edges of Paradox Space, at the border of unreality at the shattered remnants of a dead-end timeline, where The Void has settled in comfortably, a not-quite dreamer and a not-quite ghost meet. Surprisingly, they get along.  

    Alternatively: Google, how do you tell someone that you might be falling in love with them because you keep accidentally (and now not so accidentally) meeting up with their only-sometimes-alternate/splinter self that's stranded in the Void?

    FUCK ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING ME WATCH SBAHJ: THE MOVOVIE OR HOWEVER THAT DUMBFUCK SPELLED IT. I HAVE LITERALLY NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS MOUNTAINOUS PILE OF GARBAGE. DROWNING IN LITERAL SEWAGE ROTTING IN HUMAN HELL WITH NARY A CHAINSMOKING SUBWAY RAT TO SAVE ME WOULD BE MORE PLEASANT THAN WATCHING THIS FUCKING MOVIE.

    Set about 6 weeks into the alpha session. I thought a bit about how Roxy said the "writing was on the wall" with these two from the start and what the earlier days must have been like. And then promptly wrote like twelve thousand words where half is just shameless smut so hey ENJOY

    Summary

    You were never supposed to remember.

    This isn't how the game was supposed to work.

    The Scratch is called a hard reset for a reason. It means starting over from square one with a clean slate. Memories don’t come with the package, or aren’t supposed to, but you guess the game made you some kind of special exception (hahaha hehehe), because you remember. You remember everything, and you don’t know what to think.

    Except that something must have gone terribly wrong.

    Summary

    You die and wake up as a baby alien. Then a teenage alien tells you that you have to pretend to be a fascist or you’ll doom the timeline. Also, the world is ending.
    Welcome to Alternia, Eridan! Enjoy your new lease on life, because this is all you’re getting.
    -
    Or: You aren’t really responsible for whoever dies if you pull the wrong lever in the trolley problem, (Blame the person who’s going around tying people to the fucking tracks) sometimes keeping secrets is how you keep yourself sane, and you always have a choice. It’s just a matter of what you’re willing to lose by making it.
