Summary
"Everything about Dave is wonderful, especially when it's not."
Three years after the game ended, the kids and their guardians live together as a big, goofy family, and John is so happy he could explode. The thing that makes him happiest is Dave. They are the best snugglebros and everything is perfect.
Except that people are giving John looks like he's missing something important here, and he's not sure he wants to figure it out...

Bookmarker's Notes
About as good as it gets in terms of John/Dave that is unrepentantly sweet-natured while at turns snappy and clever and keeping quite firmly in mind just how flawed these boys are, even as they adore each other and have matured a bit since being dingus thirteen-year olds. (Its sequel Amazing Places is also well worth checking out: A portrayal of Dave and John in a by-and-large functional(!!) relationship that actually works because they remain recognizably themselves throughout. See also: Gorgeous scenery by way of Yosemite National Park.)

Summary

Fun and silly, as well as permeated with everyone's counted losses. Not to mention the pitch-perfect characterization, with Aradia in particular stealing the show. Lovely, lovely prose.

Bookmarker's Notes
A showcase of the sort of slow and careful relationship progression I enjoy in longer fic. Also goes a ways towards filling those "Davesprite deserves a happy ending" and "John's a sweet kid but needs to learn when he's being a callous jerkbutt for no good reason" holes in my heart. Jade, Nanna, Jaspers and Casey are all present and accounted for in very appreciable ways!

Summary
He walks like a cat who has tape on his paws, and has had tape on his paws for a very long time, and who never expects to ever again walk without scrunching miserably from side to side in a tangle of self-loathing and confusion. It hurts to look at him, but it hurts more not to.

Is there more John♦Karkat out there? I can't begin to tell. I think I could subsist on this portrayal alone for a good while, though. Elegant and aching and healing from the top of its head to the tips of its toes, this fic.

Summary
Your name is Dave Strider and you are 26 years old.
You have just gotten engaged.
The problem being that you have just gotten engaged to your best male friend in a furious fit of stupidity, champagne, one-upmanship and a weird warm-glowy feeling that occasionally (or more than occasionally) rolls around in the pit of your stomach and makes you act like a moron. You have, over the past 13 years and much careful experimentation, dubbed this “The Egbert Effect”.
You would like to state, for the record, that you are definitely, completely and 100% NOT A HOMOSEXUAL.
As Bro carefully describes to you what, as the DJ, he’s going to play at the reception (almost entirely a medley of Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha), you carefully nurse a Rock Star and vodka like a 16 year old girl who just popped her cherry at prom and try to figure out what the fuck happened over the past decade or so to land you in this mess.

One of the most excellent of longfics around -- so much that it practically sells itself at this point! Superb characterization, with a careful yet funny yet sensitively rendered portrayal of the slow march that is John and Dave's relationship as they grow up and enter adulthood. Also accomplishes the feat of not forgetting all of their other Most Important Relationships (not even close!); to the point that the story is almost as much about the ensemble cast flexing their muscles in a post-Sburb setting as it is the pairing. In a word: Fantastic.

Summary
kink meme prompt:
"I'd like to see someone (troll or kid, doesn't matter) having a panic attack, and someone else comforting them and calming them down. I don't mind much what the phobia is actually of (what inspired this happens to be my own fear of centipedes but whatever) or who the characters are--and it doesn't even need to be a flushed kind of relationship, though comfort sex is always appreciated--it could be moiralleigance too though!
Bonus for a third character being a jerk/laughing about the panic attack, and therefore adding to their distress.
More bonus for the comforter chewing out the above jerk."Unlike you, John Egbert is not afraid of the dark.

Wince-inducing -- and perhaps more; keep the original tags in mind and tread forth (or not!) accordingly -- but damn if this isn't one of the finest examples of friendship-grounded "don't you dare fuck with John Egbert" fic I have come across. Rose's POV is of particular note, though John is handled with equal (if aching) believability.

Bookmarker's Notes
Come for the John/Rose, stay for the Dave clones. Actually, stay for the everything -- wonderful character interactions and a premise handled with surprising understatement and seemingly effortless aplomb included. One of my personal favorites for this pairing.
