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
He fumbled around groggily until he found his phone, looking for a distraction but finding only more confusion in the clusterfuck of notifications waiting for him. Apparently, he had installed Tinder, used an anime profile picture, and went on a mile-long, elaborate roleplay with a chick down the street, taken an Uber to the club where she worked, texted Dave just to say that he suffered from chronic emotional constipation and unload his sentimentalities, spammed Jane and Jake with bad memes until the former blocked him on two social media platforms, ordered a shitty wig on eBay, bought $69.69 worth of Hot Topic merch (tax and shipping included), downloaded the Fortnite app and played for exactly four hours and twenty minutes, then posted all of his private muscular anthropomorphic equine art to Furaffinity and announced that he was taking commissions.
Now wide awake, he put his phone back down and decided to contemplate everything that had led up to that moment.

Summary
At a party he doesn't want to be at, Dirk Strider runs into an old flame. What starts as an awkward conversation between a hermit and an elite socialite turns into a question of what it means to hurt, what it means to be normal, and what the hell is wrong with them.
Jake breathes out a weird golden fog every time he lies. Their good friends have become heartless corporate machines. And Dirk can't stop getting these awful headaches, and flashes of memories that shouldn't be his.
("Pre-epilogue" Dirkjake hurt/comfort. Exploring Dirk and Jake's respective powers and postgame situation. They deserve to heal)

Jake English has been hunting demons since he was a child, but he's never dealt with a demon like Dirk Strider.Dirk Strider has been avoiding humans since his older brother died, but he's taken a liking to a certain persistent hunter.For a year, Jake has done his best to track the Strider down, but he can never seem to pinpoint his location during the daytime. It's become infuriating, so Jake has to take what he's given and hunt Dirk in his element- at night. And for a year he's managed to merely run in place, as none of their scraps ever lead toward one of their victories. That is, until Jake makes the dire mistake of underestimating his enemy, and finds himself trapped; unarmed and exhausted with nothing but a charm at his disposal.John Egbert has been planning a trip to surprise his cousin Jake a few days before his birthday, and finds the dueling pair just in time.With a high class demon after Jake, John convinces him to let him stay for the winter, reasoning that two hunters are better than one, but with Dirk's mind set solely on catching Jake, protecting his older cousin is going to be harder than John had thought. And When an old enemy comes into the picture, things get even more complicated for Jake and his family
