Summary
A gamebreaking glitch tore the game session to shreds, right before they reached the end. Dirk Strider was already dead at the time. Temporarily. Which left him to revive in the aftermath. As the Prince of Heart, he doesn't have much experience putting souls back together, only breaking them, but at this point he seems to be the only one who even knows shit is broken.
He's the last person who'd trust himself with this. Not when he's out of time, out of place, and over his head being responsible for a little brother, a life, and a body his conveniently dead asshole of a splinterself already, thoroughly fucked up.
AKA: A game crash creates an unholy mashup of who the hell knows how many sburb sessions, and Dirk-as-Bro attempts to figure out wtf happened and how to fix shit for the brother who fears him, and the friends who don’t remember him. Because that’s what he does. But no Dirk has ever excelled when truly alone. Good thing he isn’t, he just needs to learn how to accept the help.

Summary
Like a handful of breaded chicken tenders being tossed into hot oil, Bro deposits you onto your bed and is out of your Egbertless room within less than ten seconds.
Holy shit what just happened. You feel like Juliet. Are you Juliet?? You thought John was Juliet. You thought you were Romeo, gonna get a high-five from Bro AKA whateverthefuck Romeo's dad's name was you've never read it so who cares, while you went to pry the bars off Juliet's window, rescuing him from his overprotective dad.
(In a move that surprises everybody involved, it's not John's dad that the two young lovers have to be worried about. It's Dave's.)

Summary
Thank god Caliborn isn’t here right now, you think, as Caliborn seeps into the room like a malignant devil who heard his name from inside your mind. He’s green and heat, and he is not welcome.
“SILENCE THE CHILD. OR ELSE I WILL DO IT MYSELF.”
(Dirk runs away from his abusive home in Texas all the way up to a cheap, abandoned house in Oregon that is haunted by an angry green poltergeist with Big Issues and a nasty mile-wide 'cruelty to the living' streak.Dave, the four-year-old little brother Dirk was not fully aware he had, follows him there.)

A year ago, hearing nothing from Bro about Christmas wouldn't have been weird. This year, Dave doesn't know what to expect.
Things have changed.
A lil side one-shot for Defragmentation.

Summary
Game Over wasn't an end.
It was a beginning.
Change one thing, and a new pattern emerges.
This drive is a little too fucked up for a simple Defrag to work.
AKA: Dragged forcibly from the void of non-existence, Dirk Strider is shoved into a life he doesn't want. A responsibility he hates. And a second chance he does not believe he deserves. Especially when that second chance comes with baggage he can't afford to just up and drop.
Three people lived in that apartment before. Three people have to live in it now. Someone has to be the adult here and he sure as shit is lacking in qualifications.
