    Summary

    Dave Strider, 30, has a problem: His formerly comfortable life in New Alternia Hills has been slowly uprooted over the past three years. His sister, Rose, moved away and left him her old house three months ago. After what feels like a lifetime of trying to find a new friend group, he breaks down and lets his ridiculously wealthy twin pay for some convoluted "rent-a-friend" scheme.

    Karkat Vantas, 25, needs $20,000 to pay off his student loans, and he thinks he's found a (mostly) painless way to do it. All he has to do is avoid falling for his (admittedly pretty hot) employer.

    Clearly, nothing can go wrong here.

    Summary

    Alternian title: In which Dave realizes that he wants to bottom but is nervous about doing so, Karkat is really nice and sensitive about it, his respiteblock is nearly set on fire, hundreds of roses of the plant variety are massacred, Karkat reveals that he trimmed his claws for the occasion, Dave overcomes his initial hesitation caused by growing up in human society, the metaphoric ice is broken and they finally pail, and Dave and Karkat are ultimately brought closer to one another by the experience.

    TLDR: Dave wants to bottom but is nervous, Karkat is nice. You saw the rating and the word count, you know what this is.

    Summary

    "Alright, bite the bullet here Strider, admit it to yourself. The first step to healing is acceptance. Or at least the last step of grief. Maybe? Why does everything gotta be an AA program, handing out steps left and right. Except instead of all admitting that we're middle aged men with an addiction to getting sloshed and beating our wives it's more 'Step 1: have homolust thoughts. Step 2: freak out. Step 3: who the fuck knows. Step 4: acceptance."

     

     

    What.

     

    “Hey wait shit is someone here?”

     

    Fuck you said that out loud.

    Summary

    Rooming beside Karkat had been mostly strategic. There's a pretty intricate ventilation system on this god forsaken meteor, and it goes mostly from room to room, right through the walls.
    So that means you get to hear anything anyone does in their room, even with a wall between you.
