    Summary

    The roof is as hot as it’s always been. The sun glows dimly, giving a warm yellow hue against the turquoise clouds. It hasn’t rained in months and the sky is only going to become redder. Dave’s hands are too small for the katana, the weight difficult for him to lift. Bro stares down at him, the sky reflected in his shades.

    “Swing it, lil man.”

    Summary

    Karkat didn’t mind touch. It happened when Terezi wrapped her arm around his shoulders and yanked him down the hall. It happened when Sollux pushed him away from his computer to fix whatever program he fucked up. It happened when Kanaya put a comforting hand on his head and helped him chill the fuck out. Hell, it even happened when Nepeta pounced on him in an attempt to ‘glomp’ him, whatever that even meant.

    He was used to touch. It happened every day, casual small things that reminded him that he was connected to these people. That they were really there, that they cared for him in a strange fucked up weird violent way. Mostly.

    But god fucking damn. Gamzee was just touchy.

    Summary

    Finally, as he climbed the last grassy hill of the troll kingdom, the ocean spread out infront of him. The wind whipped his hair around as the sea called, almost violet in the setting sun. Karkat took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He swore he could still smell the Alternian sea if he tried hard enough. Swore that he could hear the cries of Gl'bgolyb far off from the shore. Swore that if he tried hard enough, a 6 sweeps old Gamzee would be staring off into the ocean, waiting for his Lusus to come home.

    Karkat opened his eyes. The same Earth C beach stared back at him.

    Summary

    Dave supposed that he should be in Washington State by now from the few motels, less few nights slept in the car. The anxiety that crept in his bones kept him from looking at the time he had left until arrival, just letting himself believe that the road was his new home, that the stolen money and money earned from unspeakable moments was always in his possession. That nothing had really happened in Houston, Dave just decided to go on a road trip alone. With pills upon pills of things he didn't bother to google what they were for. Just keep taking, just keep swallowing.

    Summary

    "A demon's heat is more dangerous, however. I wish you would have informed me sooner since you'll be staying here until it's over." Ryo couldn't have a half-demon running around almost destroying every female he walked by. The whole city would be hunting Akira down.

    "Wait-"

    "It wasn't a question. You almost attacked Ms. Makimura, correct? I can't have you walking around when you're like this. I have a spare room and you'll be staying in it." Ryo stood up and faced Akira who was still staring at him, face flushed.

    "What makes you think I won't attack you?"

    Summary

    Geoff's leather jacket smelled heavily of cigarettes, slightly of cologne. Maybe this was a test from God. Maybe he was supposed to deny this man, walk away back into the church and pray his being away. Ask for forgiveness for even considering getting into the car with this man.

    But Michael was fucking tired of praying who he was away. Tired of the guilt and tired of being who his parents wanted him to be.

    Summary

    Ray had a handle on his heat. He was able to control it, always had since he first presented. He knew weeks before the first symptoms came, days before he would have to hide out, and hours before the worst of it hit. It was under control.

    So why, an hour after the crew arrived at the penthouse after a successful heist, were his cheeks heating?

    Summary

    In the beginning, Connor hadn't desired to download enhanced sensors. It would just prove to be a distraction after joining the Detroit Police once again. He couldn't afford his mind wandering during crime scene, during interrogations, during stakeouts.

    So he asked himself, standing in Hank's bathroom, staring at himself in the mirror, the 'Download Complete' message popped up after scouring the internet for the best mimic of the human nervous system he could find, why in God's name he had downloaded it.

    Summary

    Aleks was, to say the least, the laziest, rudest, and most disrespectful student he had ever encountered. He talked back, he slept during discussions, he wrote 'fuck this' in big red-inked letters on scantrons.

    He was infuriating.

    And Brett fucking loved it.

    Summary

    Zacharie had always known The Batter was something else. Something different than what his world had previously known. He had once recalled seeing The Batter's eyes, dark, red pupils, more than what should be necessary for a 'human'. He still remembered the day he appeared out of nowhere, almost as if he was a glitch in the programming, though it was all part of the script. Pablo had warned him to stick only to business, that he had a strange feeling from the man.

    Of course, Zacharie never listened to what he was told.
