Summary
It is with great relief that I exit the wormhole into the home space of the Pan System Alliance. Familiar neutrinos brush against my hull, lighting up my sensor array in a comforting way. I immediately receive three pings from members of my cohort who are in range. I return the pings merely to be polite, but ignore any further initiation of conversation. I am really not in the mood to be interrogated about my recent mishap.

Summary
The Knight of Time is the guardian of the timeline, a protector. He is eternally vigilant and strong. He is one of if not the most beloved god, with many churchs built solely to worship him. Multiple holy days dedicated to worshipping him.
You wake up in your apartment every morning and every single time it takes at least a minute to remember where in the timeline you are. The more years pass as you wait for the final timeloop to close, the less real anything feels.
In the mean time, you try to worry about more important problems, like whether or not you are ready to get back together with your ex.
In another timeline, in another universe, Dave Strider's eldest brother is framed for a crime he did not commit, and sent to live with his other brother, Dirk. As he adjusts to his new situation, he meets a boy named Karkat whos life was simularly turned upside down when his own father was framed by a rival gang and thrown in jail.
Maybe the two of them can fit the pieces together and figure out the truth behind the conspiracies of both of their families.

Summary
The summer seems to drip by in the way time does when you’re not constantly shifting your grip to grasp it. You think July and then it’s halfway through August and Dave is peeling off his T-shirt and telling you to avert your eyes as he sunbathes alongside you on the balcony.
August goes: drive-in theatre; trying to cook an authentic bowl of ramen together; finally attending Dave’s underground indie film club with him; suburbia; Dave carefully easing the gear shift of Dirk’s car into first and stalling with you clutching the passenger seat below you; decorating cassette tapes of Dave’s sick beats with Nepeta’s kawaii stickers; giving Dave a ten-minute rant about how dumb every single movie in his arsenal is and still watching every single once through twice.
August goes: a bottle of peach vodka; Dave’s sun-burnt back; Dave’s smile; Dave letting you paste pink dye on his head in neon-patchiness; Dave trying to squint his way through your copy of Anna Karenina; Dave’s lips on yours and hands up your skirt and Dave, Dave, Dave.
But that’s getting a bit ahead, a flash-forward, a flash-step to a future six-sweep Karkat wouldn’t have even imagined in the dark after a viewing of Pride and Prejudice.
