Summary
Someone needed a nanite specialist. Someone kidnapped the best.
This, Raf thought, is my life: staring down beings who're at least ten times my mass, think they know everything, and have no eyeballs.

Summary
"...[T]he dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute." - Terry Pratchett. Approximately six weeks after The Circle's fall from power, a fragment of the organisation returns to lash out against the only Cardassian living on Deep Space Nine. What the terrorists didn't anticipate, however, was being interrupted mid-abduction.

Summary
“The booby trap was supposed to catch heroes. And unprofessional archaeologists. I didn’t think anyone else would come up here.”
“Oh, what, so I’m not hero material, is that it?” said Sollux. “Just because I can’t see and don’t have two biceps per arm, I’m not booby worthy, huh?”
There was a pause as they both considered that sentence.

Summary
In an alternate universe where trolls and humans coexist on Earth, sixteen students must contend with such daunting prospects as teen romance, malicious books, frogs, possibly an apocalypse, and the cut-throat world of school sports. Also, everybody is a wizard.
Rated PG for mild peril and fantasy spiders.

Summary
The Dolorosa does something that no troll has ever done before. She raises a child. It's hard and nobody understands.
In fact, it's more confusing and more amazing than she could ever have imagined.

Summary
Three dark mage-kings known as the Sea Lords, the Orphaner and his two sons, hold the world in an iron grip. The reincarnation of an ancient hero known as the Sufferer leads a rebellion against their power. For all the blood and magic spilled, it seems the world will be at war forever.
Rebel spymaster Sollux Captor is kidnapped by one of the Sea Lords to break a puzzling code. He's sure his fate is interrogation and death, or worse. But the lines between friend and foe are less clear than they seemed, and his captivity may have placed him in the perfect position to turn the tide.
[inspired by the world of the 'Black Company' series by Glen Cook; you don't need to be familiar with it to understand this story.]

Summary
The kids don't just scratch the game - they break it, forcing it to eject them back into reality. However, it doesn't send them back home.
The four humans find themselves scattered on Alternia, and it's not even the Alternia they had been told about. Their troll friends are there, but they're not the same.
Even staying alive long enough to find each other again might be easier said than done.

Summary
You meet him and he's a kid, half your age, but he takes care of you anyway. Your life is clean and clear and slow when he's around you, and you remember the parts with him in it and blur the places in between until you see him again.
So this is the story; the bits you remember, the important parts of your life. The parts that had him in them.

You know the best thing about this? The very best thing? I read Homestuck as part of an exchange with a friend; I'd stumble my way through the archives if she'd read Discworld. And then... then THIS. This is perfect.

So much more context and art and advice and, well, everything on the tumblr port for this. And it is amazing, and I urge you to check out said tumblr; there's a nice link that will sort the archive in chronological post order.
But if you're not up to being randomly exposed to people's real life problems while reading, or don't like in character ask-response blogs, then this here is still well worth the read.

Summary
In which Karkat Vantas is a surly ex-Marine who is absolutely for sure NOT a gray space alien, nor has he ever been a gray space alien at any point in his life ever, regardless of what this weirdo Sollux Captor claims when they meet in a bar one miserable Friday night.
