    Summary

    You knew going out without that stupid mask would bite you in the ass soon.

    And of course your dumbass forgot your inhaler, so your chest feels tight, and you’re silently freaking out while you finish some spam you made for lunch, flashing Dave a little smile when you meet his gaze. You’re back inside and bathed now (thank God), sitting on stools at a fancy little counter behind the kitchen sink, technically in the dining room.

    You try to keep your breaths silent and slow, you don’t want him to hear that disgusting wheeze from your swollen lungs, but your rapid heartbeat is demanding otherwise. I need air, asshole, your body is screaming, so you breathe faster and louder so as not to faint. You stare off into the kitchen, concentrating. Chewing your food slowly. Trying to breathe.

     

    Of course you notice John’s acting weird. Of course. He’s the only other person around, he’s perhaps the biggest part of your life.

    He’s very obviously trying to hide whatever it is, flashing you quick smiles whenever your eyes meet over the counter, so you say nothing. Until his breathing starts picking up noticeably.

    “Are you... okay, dude?”

    Summary

    У тебя нет ни малейшего понятия, как работает секс, нужно ли троллям вообще заниматься такими вещами, и, возможно, тебе страшно давать кому-то прикасаться к твоему телу. Ты надеешься, что большую часть времени касаться будешь ты, чтобы унять дрожь в теле из-за иррационального страха такого же в свою сторону. Главное, чтобы Каркат был счастлив. Ты будешь счастлив с ним вместе.

    Summary

    You can’t bring yourself to turn away from the window. There’s an unbearably long moment of silence while you beckon Dave over with a wave of your hand, and Houston is bathed in white light from a horrific sunrise. Only it’s not the sun, and the light gives way to a silent mushroom cloud, blasting debris up into the atmosphere. It looks like shooting stars.

    You don’t hear the impact until eleven seconds later.

    And you don’t feel it for another two seconds, but oh, it’s great. The entire city shakes as the Earth is split and forced to crumble into itself, knocking you off Dave’s desk. The building seems to sway. You can hear it, a long, deep, loud groan that shakes you to your core. The light dies down, and all that’s in the distance is fire.

    Summary

    You’re losing this fight, and losing badly. Yellow blood clumps your feathers together like the seagulls you saw fished out of the Gulf covered in oil after a hurricane when you were eight. You wonder how long before death your life starts flashing before your eyes. It’s the natural place for a Doomed Timeline Dave Strider to end up, and seppucrows notwithstanding, you’re another soon-to-be Dead Dave.

    or: davesprite thinks of icarus.

    Summary

    One of the stories that haunts me the most from living with Bro.

    Fuck, I mean. He did tons of shit. A limitless amount, even. But even then, it almost can't compare to- lemme just. Say it. I don't know if I've ever told this to anyone. Uh..

    Dave Strider going into detail about one of his past experiences. More specifically the one where he gets pregnant.

    More Davebuse stuff. Enjoy!

    Summary

    You have to squint for a few moments before you can make out the foggy shape of Dave’s aviators.

    JOHN: dave?
    DAVE: jesus christ egbert you almost gave me a fuckin heart attack
    JOHN: why- what are you doing here?

    He holds a thin black shape up to your face and it takes you a second to realize it’s a smartphone.

    DAVE: you havent been online for 79 hours 45 minutes and 13 seconds
    DAVE: you broke our streaks bro
    DAVE: 974 days down the fuckin drain
    DAVE: youre the most chronically online person i know and one day you just dropped off the face of the planet what gives
    JOHN: i’m fine. or, i will be in a little bit. you don’t have to baby sit me.

    Dave shakes his head and places his hands on your shoulders. You melt a little into his touch—it feels like way too fucking long since you’ve had human contact.

    DAVE: are you kidding
    DAVE: john im not leaving now
    DAVE: youre stuck with me for the time being

    Summary

    I've decided my Bro isn't very nice.

    When I was younger, my Bro felt like a hero. He felt like the coolest guy ever, I wanted to be just like him. He had awesome puppets, some sick glasses, he could DJ, he could fight with swords.

    I wanted to fight with swords. So he decided I would.

     

    Dave's childhood, and how awful it was.

    Summary

    Taking place in the meat timeline, not too long before Homestuck 2’s story started. Why meat? Funnily enough, because there’s a part of me that likes Homestuck 2 despite how shitty it is. Also Davekat isn’t canon in candy, and Dave is dead. And trans Roxy. Fuck yeah, trans Roxy.

    Dave’s PTSD with his Bro comes back around to bite him in the ass, especially when he keeps remembering that his bro is now a part of Dirk. Idk, I’m not good at writing summaries. I’m dyslexic and autistic, what do you want from me? Dave has PTSD, Roxy’s trans, and Karkat helps Dave with his PTSD and panic attacks. Also Dirk is mentioned mostly throughout the fic, but isn’t s proper character in it besides a small section.

    Summary

    All of these are posted separately on my page if you ever want to look at a specific one, but I would prefer to have them all in one place and am having trouble adding them to a collection after they've been published. Any necessary warnings will take place in the beginning notes, along with a short summary of the piece. All of these stories are strictly Davekat and other minor ships as background characters, but it will focus on Dave and Karkat no matter what! Hope you enjoy!
