    Summary

    You don’t know what you were expecting. He’s gone all the time, off to different planets trying to make the galaxy a better place. Doing insane work to help parts of the universe that the old Alternian empire once ravaged. It’s admirable. And you- well you’ve stayed stuck on this stupid little planetoid, a broken, retired engine who’s probably not even all there anymore. Why wouldn’t he have found someone better?

    You’ve seen a picture of them together. He showed it to you when you were on a call much like the one you’re on now. You recognized the guy, met him briefly on the last shore leave. If you had known then what you know now– you can’t even say you would do anything different. He scowls at you on call, cheeks flushed a deep red. You know he makes him happy.

    Still, when he tells you he's inviting his new matesprit to visit with you, your pusher stops.

    Summary

    “You know, if I were someone else I’d be somewhat suspicious about how much information you seem to have on every person you meet or stumble across,” you mention to Sollux, sitting in the cockpit beside him. “Then again, if I were someone else I would have probably hid your warning about not associating with you and I’d be short one pilot, one apiary expert, one warp core engineer, and one excellent wing-man, so I’d try not to see a horse gift on the mouth.”

    Dave Strider wants to protect his soulmate, Karkat Vantas, the guy he's been seeing in his dreams ever since he was a teenager, and Sollux Captor wants to save someone important to him too, someone who’s destined to lead the Third Sufferer’s Rebellion and die brutally executed for it. The two men live and work together on a delivery ship while they investigate the Time Loop Phenomenon in their spare time, going through the notes of Past Captors to make sure this timeline doesn't end doomed with capital D.

    If it's up to Sollux to save everyone, then it's up to Dave to save him from himself...
