Summary
Hundreds of thousands of sweeps after its colonization by interuniversal refugees from Earth C’s troll population, Al2rnia is dying a death of a thousand cuts. Global cooling has spiraled out of control, unrest, climate disruption, and escalating labor demands alike have decimated the workforce, and the impenetrable hatching ziggurat can hardly maintain the rate of replacement for the warmblooded corpses piling up in the icy seas.
Alone in the stygian depths of the hadal zone, a fuchsia heiress prepares her coming-of-age pitch for the Shark Tank: her one shot at joining the Al2rnian Board of Directors for an immortal lifetime’s tenure and the chance to put the planet back on track.
Your name is VINBRE MALCOS and you are going to save the world or die trying.

Summary
I liked the Homestuck Epilogues, but they aren't canon, and they make no pretense at being canon. If you're uninterested in taking Andrew Hussie's word for it, maybe you'll take my several thousand ones.

Summary
“Why do we keep fucking doing this? This is obviously fucking you over. It never works. We keep doing this. It keeps happening.”
“What else is there for me?” you say, very quietly. “In this whole world, Dirk, what else is there?”

Summary
How does the class system, in relation with the previously described aspect system, work as a tool for descriptive narrative analysis and construction? Great follow-up question!

Summary
The God of Hope and his currently-off-again boyfriend's ectodaughter walk into a mutual friend's recently acquired ski lodge. Writer's block, mom issues, discussion of complicated relationships, and Complacency of the Learned are on the agenda. Both are liars. Both are surely beyond redemption.
Neither entirely deserves the things they believe about themselves.

Summary
“It’s just… I can’t remember the last time I felt so at peace, I guess. It was such a lovely jaunt with Jade, and instead of being all torn up about coming home, I feel even better, now. It’s actually been a real while and a half since I felt… bad, you know? Like actually bad.”
You don’t have much in the way of emotional permanence about that sort of thing. Surely it was months ago, when you were staring gloomily at the bottoms of bottles like the world’s most up-his-own-ass useless overdramatic dilettante. Did it even really happen, if it all, in hindsight, just seems like a dumb pantomime of misery to get attention? A successful dumb pantomime of misery to get attention, mind you, you definitely got it, and a boyfriend to boot. Was it ever really as atrocious and apocalyptic and unsurvivable as it seemed?

You don’t pity him. It would be senseless to pity him, like pitying a storm or a mountain or God.

Summary
Rosebot leans in close. Terezi can smell the licorice-black lipstick, the same kind as always, applied now to synthetic polymer lips inches away from her own. Rosebot's metal fingers close just a little tighter around her neck.
No one interrupts this time.

Summary
Two omniscient bros with debilitating depression, sitting between realities, five feet apart because we haven't reached that part of the narrative yet. Keep a tight grip on the bridles of your metaphorical horses. I'm working up to it.
(Dirk is tired. Haven't you ever wanted to let someone make the tough choices for you?)

Summary
“Pleasure to work with you, Vriska!” he calls, as you slog through the ankle-deep fish-scum-saturated swill that inevitably accumulates under the processing machinery once the day warms up.
“You’re fake as shit, Jake English!” you holler back over your shoulder. “But thanks.”
(If you want the rewards of being loved, or, y'know, paid, you have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of gutting five hundred salmon with only a dumbass newbie to help you. Isn't that how that quote goes?)

Summary
“So we answer the time-honored question by taking a third option,” she says, with a ghost of a smile. “When confronted by our clone, we neither fight nor fuck. We monologue.”
“Dialogue,” you parry. “For all we’re being mindful of our prefixes.”
Rose attempts a thought experiment. Some Strilondes are gentler with their splinter-selves than others. Spoiler alert: they fuck.

Summary
You don't have the last PE credit that you need to graduate. Luckily, or perhaps unluckily, neither does anyone else. Shenanigans are afoot, and disturbingly enough, you can't take credit for all of them...
Enter barre class. Enter Vriska Serket. Enter a tangled web of mutual meddling that may just lead you into the arms of your suspiciously put-together stem cell biology classmate, Kanaya Maryam. Enter your senior spring, a period of time in which nothing, and yet everything, matters.
