    Summary

    After coming out of their Sburb/Sgrub session victorious, the players go back in time and merge their universes together instead of creating a brand new one. As both humans and trolls try to improve their respective worlds, the decision is made to save the imperial helmsman and to bring him back to a new and reformed Alternia.

    The road to recovery will prove more difficult than the rescue mission itself, as trolls hiding in the shadows are struggling to find out how they fit in this new world.

    Summary

    At six sweeps, Sollux would've said he disliked Eridan Ampora in a distinctly platonic, disgusted kind of way.

    At seven sweeps, Sollux would've said he was ambivalent of Eridan Ampora in a distinctly wary, disinterested kind of way.

    At eight sweeps, Sollux would've said he hated Eridan Ampora in a distinctly annoyed, pitch kind of way.

    And at eight and a quarter sweeps, Sollux still would've still said he hated Eridan Ampora in a distinctly annoyed, pitch kind of way. Yet, at that point, it had become a complete and utter lie.

    -

    In which Sollux Captor has developed humiliatingly flushed feelings for one Eridan Ampora. In light of his inevitably short lifespan, he makes it his life’s mission to make the other so happy, so unbelievably fulfilled, that he’ll spend the rest of his privileged, aristocratic life searching for that feeling again.

    Summary

    An account of Sollux Captor's adolescence and early adulthood, running parallel with and then diverging from canon, centered on his peculiar and numinous relationship with his Ancestor the Helmsman of the Battleship Condescension. Features quadrant-filling and quadrant-flipping, migraines and mutations, body horror, meta-narrative reacharounds, mania, depression, pain, pailing, acts of startling audacity, and pity deep enough to reach light-years through the starry void.

    Summary

    You put the tech away and pass your hand in front of the scanner for clearance. "Apparently the engine room is some kind of garden so, this is pretty weird."

    A crackle of static, and Zahhak's voice comes through. "Ah. Commander, perhaps it would be best if you" -- and the door swishes open.

    "Oh my god what the fuck."

    "Fiddlesticks."

    Summary

    Sollux Captor wakes up from the game back on Alternia where he is promptly kidnapped by the empire to be made into a helmsman. The last thing he sees is Eridan's message telling him to run before he is integrated into the mainframe of a ship.

    Summary

    Karkat always assumed that his life would be over as soon as the Empire caught wind of the cherry-colored sludge pumping through his vascular system. No muss, no fuss--just a good, clean culling fork to the chest. Little did he know that there was something far worse in store...

    "Please tell me my auricular sponge clots are failing me here. Tell me I did not just hear you say that you are sending me to some shithole alien planet where I will be nook deep in squishy hairless monkeys.”

    Meanwhile on Alternia: the political tides are shifting and the disappearance of a certain mutant blood sets into motion a revolution which could entangle Alternia and Earth together forever--or destroy them both.

    Summary

    "Vantas, you lucky bastard," Straterrorist Reikar says, shaking her head. "Going to see that pilot of yours?"

    You grin. "Only chance I'm going to have for the next sweep, so we better get our duty to the Mother done while we can."

    Summary

    "You know," you say, your tone as light and falsely conversational as you can make it, "when you told me that you could get your hands on Imperial-quality weapons, I was only mostly worried about what kind of fuckshit you might be smuggling."

    Your name is KARKAT AMPORA, and you really wish the idiots you choose to deal with on a regular basis would keep you posted when they plan to commit crimes. Actually, it would be fan-fucking-tastic if they could manage to let you know what crimes they plan to commit. This lack of information is hard on your plans.
