Summary
The first time you see him is Day 1 of Sburbian Mythology 101.
The lecture starts in two minutes and the flow of students into the hall has slowed to a trickle, which is how you notice out of the corner of your eye a pale human in all red sauntering into the room, wearing a set of douchey shades in perplexing defiance of the torrential rainstorm that's been plaguing the city all week. In fact, you register, he seems to be the only one in the hall to not be drenched or at least somewhat wet, as if he's somehow managed to convince his clothes to ignore the godawful downpour outside.
You're about to turn back away when he stops and seizes up mid-stride, the abrupt tension in the human's posture visible even from a distance. He's looking in your direction, you realize, and though the sunglasses are in the way, you have an unshakable feeling that his eyes are staring straight at you.

Summary
Karkat Vantas was a mutant. Rejected by the universe for his cherry blood, he searched for a way, any way, to show everyone that he was worth noticing. He thought the invasion would be the perfect opportunity. He would kill some humans, get some glory, and prove himself to be more than a freak. What could go wrong?
Dave Strider was just a teenager. With an abusive brother and not much else, he kept himself moving, leaping from one distraction to the next. He just wanted something to change.
They would both get what they wanted, but in a way neither of them would have ever seen coming.

Summary
Dave Strider and Rose Lalonde own the village’s most popular apothecary. They’re supposed to be inconspicuous and ordinary. But there are whispers that their little healing tricks might be more than they seem, and the witchcraft accusations that have been swirling around Dave’s family for years are starting to spiral out of control. Things come to a head when Dave finds a demon in the alley behind a local tavern with a handful of demon slayers on his tail and finds he hasn’t got the heart to get rid of him, leaving them with no choice but to run for the hills. There’s a safe house out in the countryside, but two witches and a demon aren’t the most subtle of travellers, and there’s more than one person who’s put out a heavy reward on their heads. This could be the beginning of the end.

The Calm Is Terrifying When The Storm Is All You've Known by HappiKatt
Fandoms: Homestuck

Summary
There were two kinds of trolls who went to Earth: rich shitheads with too much money and free time, and desperate assholes who couldn’t survive on Alternia, even with the best efforts of the young Condesce. Karkat hated the planet almost immediately, but with his home planet too dangerous for mutants, he really didn’t have any choice but to hide out on this weird little diurnal planet. At least he’d be safe. Or so he thought, right before blundering his way into an accidental friendship with the son of an anti-troll terrorist.
Slow burn, shifting perspectives; romance really isn't the focus here but it'll still play a significant part; extra content warnings will be posted with each relevant chapter.

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.

Gunpowder and Cocoa Don’t Mix Very Well by Random_Writer9
Fandoms: Undertale (Video Game), Undertale Yellow (Video Game)

Tags
Summary
Clover had accepted his fate. Giving up his Soul to free Monsterkind was his final, ultimate act of justice. As his vision blurred, he surrendered to the euphoria, certain his story had ended.
Then his eyes opened. He was back where it all began. Disoriented but alive—only one thought came to mind.
Finding his friends.
—
Flowey had planned to let Clover rest–honest! But as his vine hovered over the Save button, ready to overwrite Clover’s file–a flash of memory made him pause.
It was the run where he lost.
That alone was rare. But it wasn’t the loss that made him pause. No, It was who he saw in it.
Something shifted in his mind and as the gears turned a new plan started to form.
—
Chara hadn’t expected to wake up, not after their plan to free Monsterkind had failed. They especially hadn’t expected to wake up to a Cowboy slaughtering monsters.
They reached for their save, determined to stop him.
—
The timeline has become unstable from the three beings forcefully seizing control over it in rapid succession. The instability grew to be severe enough that the boundaries between past and future have started to blur into an unrecognizable present.

Summary
Based kinda on thestrongestjewel’s eepytale on tumblr but with my own little spin on it.
In a world where monsters and humans talked it out and DIDNT go to war. Chara tries to just live their life with their very chaotic adoptive family. Their life was pretty solid until a new kid comes to Hometown and decides to mess with the norm.
(The story will primarily follow Clover and Chara with some silly side stories for Frisk, Asriel, and Kris)
