   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

   When Bruce defeats his evil alternate self from another universe and takes the evil Batman's abused kids back to his home world, they have no idea what to expect from their new life (except for the worst).

   They are about to find out - and also join in the Bats' investigations and hopefully heal a little. And maybe help the others find out some important things about themselves and each other.

   Featuring lots of misunderstandings and angst - but also some fluffy comfort.

   A continuation of DaisyBirb's Rock Bottom For Me.
   Added fanart in chapter 38.
