TG: signed writ from official first boyfriend of the troll kingdom demanding you give me a real answer to this
TG: these are the real questions dirk
TG: wait are you actually like
TG: asleep?
Well, shit. This is an unexpected roadblock.
TT: Technically, you’re not actual royalty, and therefore cannot command another monarch to give you a direct answer.
Never mind.
Also: what the fuck is that supposed to mean?TG: what the fuck is that supposed to mean
TT: Your title is by dint of your longstanding relationship with our favorite grumpy, shouty troll. Or your favorite, anyway, he’s a bit loud for my earbuds.
You bristle for a good minute, and are halfway through typing out what would definitely be a scathing defense of said boyfriend, but then you remember that Dirk lives in the middle of fuck-nowhere right now, and is shit at loud noises and loud people. Right.

Summary
Dave wasn't shocked when Dirk came to him to say he'd fucked up. Fucking up seemed to be the typical Strider skill at this point, especially his brother. But when he'd told him that he'd somehow merged different splinters into himself and that they were fighting for his body, he wasn't so sure if Dirk was telling an awful joke, or if he had genuinely made the biggest of all fucking mistakes.
Quickly, he realised, it wasn't a joke at all.
And oh boy. Dirks were insufferable.

As important players on both of their teams, they need their heads in the game. This is not just any other season. This was their time to show the world, and the NHL, who they are.
The silver trophy that sealed their spot in history itself, engraved upon the sides with legends. But they have more to contend with than just the fight for the Cup.

Summary
He feels a familiar acidic bubble at the back of his throat, gut churning, brain already reeling. Too soft, ugh, too much, knock it off, a voice at once familiar and foreign cries, a blend of his own and fragments of another. He stomps it down, forcing himself into stillness under Karkat’s head despite the alarm bells telling him to shrink away.
It’s fine. He’s my boyfriend. That’s what boyfriends do. Get over it.
He’s not sure if he’s telling himself or the formidable silhouette hidden in the edges of that stupid, smug inner voice.
a sort-of character study about dave navigating the trauma olympics in his relationship with karkat after the Worst Childhood Ever and the super positive impact bro had on his conscience
