Summary
In which 4 kids are pulled into another world with little but the rules of a game to guide them. (no not Sburb)
During a visit to John's home between Junior and Senior year of high school the 4 kids get pulled from their familiar world and dropped into one they only vaguely recognize from its similarities to Dungeons and Dragons. Together they are asked to save the world and are given magic and abilities they have only imagined.
A Dungeons and Dragons style world, filled with familiar homestuck concepts but repurposed to fit the setting.
If you're new to this fic I recommend reading my revised edition instead here

Summary
KARKAT: HEARD YOU ELECTROCUTED YOUR LAST BABYSITTER PRETTY BADLY. YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T DO STUFF LIKE THAT, BUT I'M WILLING TO BET HE DESERVED IT, HUH?
DIRK: He did.
Dirk smiles, a good sign that he might actually get along with this sitter.
His older brother can't help but laugh quietly, shaking his head at the way Dirk so readily agrees to committing assault with no guilt whatsoever. But Dave needs to be the responsible adult here.
DAVE: no dirk, in this house we dont injure people even if they “kind of deserve it”
DIRK: Too late.
Dave (38) is basically a single dad, raising his little brother Dirk (10) on his own for the last ten years.
Now Dave's lonely and dating again, so Karkat (21) has taken up babysitting for him.
Dave and Karkat both think they're out of each other's league.
Dave goes on increasingly horrible dates.
Quadrant shenanigans ensue.Dave ♥︎ Karkat

Summary
You blink. You've just awoken to the dulcet tones of Fred Durst yelling about the way that it's just one of those days when you don't want to wake up. Raising your very uninjured arm and pressing your hand against your eyes so hard you start seeing stars, you just might have to agree with his assessment. Because it is one of those days where everything is fucked. Everybody does, in fact, suck.
Your name is DIRK STRIDER, and this is the third time you've woken up on this exact morning.
You just might have to start breaking stuff.⁙
In a world slightly off from the one we are used to, the Striders end up stuck in a Groundhog Day-esque time loop.
How do you get out of a labyrinth when all you have is a string that keeps fraying?Series

Summary
There's always that one character that isn't really well-liked in a fandom. Because of their personality, choices, attitude, they weren't seen in a very favorable light. One such example was Eridan Ampora, from the webcomic Homestuck. It's been a while since he had read Homestuck but he never really hated Eridan, in fact he found him okay, so did a lot of fans.
That doesn't mean he was okay with being shoved into his body during his first molt! He was human, not a troll! The culture, the society of Alternia is fucking horrible and he clearly didn't belong here! Unfortunately he doesn't think he can do anything about it, he couldn't remember what happened to him, he can't even remember personal details of hisold life like his name.
Fuck it. If he was going to be Eridan Ampora, then fine. He'll take matters into his own hands, make his own choices, decisions and opinions. Canon can go fuck itself.
If only it were that easy… There's only so much one person can try to change, especially as Eridan Ampora. Or any other Ampora.

Summary
This is a work of fiction, meant to be read or referenced as a companion piece to The Sylph of Mind.
The postulations within may not necessarily be canon-compliant.
You have been warned. Also, have a nice day!
Do you possess a strong yearning for literary theory and a raging hardon for Homestuck? Are you stuck in the past—or your home—and wish to continue obsessing over a dead webcomic from 2009 despite the fervent pleas of your loved ones?
You're in good company! Within this work sits a deeply overwhelming analysis of Aspects and Classes written in such agonizing detail over the most trivial facets regarding each, you'll probably check out halfway through any one entry!
If you're reading The Sylph of Mind, and even if you aren't, feel free to reference this document for deeper insight on how the characters are themed on an intrinsic level! There are—will eventually be—entries for Aspects and Classes that aren't even featured in that story, so there's probably something for everyone to enjoy!
...When I get finished writing all of it, anyway.

Summary
"All grubs naturally exit the breeding caves with grayscale eyesight. Since Alternia’s social structure is based on blood color, one of the first things taught in schoolfeeding is how to tell castes apart by the characteristics of their signs, horns, and teeth, and it’s mandatory for every troll to own a copy of “Her Imperial Condescension’s Book of the Hemospectrum and its Castes” in case they ever forget.
(You've learned not to correct when they think you’re a lighter green blood. Sometimes, you can even trick yourself.)
Colorbonds, therefore, have become a symbol of troll serendipity. Basically, when two fated trolls touch, hormones on their skin set off chemical receptors in the eyes, allowing a certain section of the color-range to become visible based on the destined quadrant."

Summary
For those who read chapter 15 of Alternate Universe and wished and wondered what would have happened if they hadn't been just that late to arrive. For those who did that in this author's discord, causing the monkey's paw to curl and grant this wish.
A side fic, of a different way this could have played out. Will *absolutely* spoil late game details in Alternate Universe. (Will be updated for as long as my brain goes with it)

Summary
The thing about the Multiverse Theory is that it leaves a spacious seat for Murphy’s Law to sit its ass down and completely wreck everyone’s individual shits. So when Dave and Dirk find a webcomic called Homestuck, the least surprising thing that occurs is their lives taking an instant downward spiral. All Dave wanted to do was draw his subjectively amazing comic and survive at the bare minimum, but really, who can blame him for anything that happens afterward.
OR
In which the main protagonist discovers a comic about himself and righteously flips the fuck out causing a chain of events that leads to the end of the universe as we know it, meeting some zany characters along the way and playing a game with his friends.Series

Summary
Hal finds himself stranded aboard a certain meteor, impact-bound for Houston, Texas circa 1995. And everything spirals out from there.
Because sometimes, when a system seems to be just short of defunct, all that is required is to take a step back and reevaluate the materials at hand and redistribute your available resources.
And so, with birth comes a countdown on a cycle that begins as it ends: In the red.

Summary
Sburb is a game intended for the propagation of universes, and yet, for this monumental task, it only ever seems to choose teenagers. The volatile, the emotional, and the scarred—a select few of humanity's unproven vassals are those that carry our legacy in the end, and for all the good it seems to do.
Of the eight players destined to play this universe's session of Sburb, none of them are mentally prepared or marginally fit for the tasks that yet lie in wait. Their problems are many; their pasts are tragic; and their roles are cruel. If the game doesn't kill them first, they may just do it themselves.
It's a good thing Sburb rarely sets a session up to fail.
He's not fit for combat or subterfuge; he's not likely to help much in the fight against the Black King; and he's probably going to embarrass himself beyond belief too many times to count, but that doesn't change the fact that he's this session's saving grace.
It's the job of the Sylph of Mind to heal trauma.
Will's just got to manage his own, first.
----------
Any of this may be subject to change. Be mindful of spoiling or having HS spoiled for you.

The Good, The Bad, and The Alternative by Madam_Melon_Meow, sarcasticcelery
Fandoms: Homestuck

Summary
Three years ago, on John Egbert's birthday, the world ended. Three years ago, Jade Harley and Vriska Serket vanished alongside billions of others. Three years ago, the apocalypse arrived, transforming everything and revealing much that was hidden to those who remained.
Three years ago, the meteors (mostly!) missed Houston, and that's where John's headed today. In Houston, Rose Lalonde searches for washed-up traces of magic, warily overseen by Kanaya and her old friend Dave. In Texas, the newly dubbed "alternatives" maintain a newfound alliance with the humans they saved--and a wary truce with the Hunter forces that once kept all these creatures of fable and fairytale a secret from the world of man.
And here, in Houston, the world is about to change once again.
An urban fantasy monsterstuck AU featuring the beta kids, beta trolls, and their guardians. Updates every other Weekend!

He’s a little cute.
Nope, that’s a thought you didn’t have. You’re ignoring that totally fictional train of thought you never had.
Dave's 19 and works at a gas station, the very same his good friend Jade Harley works at, on Earth C. He's started noticing this very odd regular...(p.s: formatted with the help of homestuck5!!! super duper handy tool honestly, highly recommend!!!!)

Summary
After a while of just being post apocalyptic people just eventually have relationship drama and, you know, space pirates and the ever present threat of death. Normal young adult things, you know?
Alternatively a vague meditation on why relationships end and why obsessing over things isn't a great idea.

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.
