Summary
"Date me, Dave Strider." Those are the magic words that will earn you a fortnight of high school romance... if you're lucky.
When Dave takes on a long-term dare - be asked out by and date someone new every two weeks, or else lose his shining reputation - he expects to get through it no problem. And there are no problems. After all, who doesn't want a chance to date one of the most popular students at Skaia High?
Enter Karkat. He has no interest in Dave whatsoever. And he certainly isn't interested in asking him out.
So how did they get into this mess?Tags update with chapters.

Summary
“Wow, man,” still hot grocery store guy says. “Those are definitely some strong opinions that you’ve got there. About self-checkout machines, and also uh. Capitalism.”
“I multitask,” you snap, and then immediately wince because that was an asshole move and Past Karkat is a fucking idiot and you figure that you should at least explain yourself a bit before fucking off to wallow in the sweet, sweet embrace of masturbatory self-recrimination for the foreseeable future. Also, you wanna keep ranting because some of that was good and you need to mine this for future arguments when you need a witty retort and can’t fucking think of anything. You believe in recycling- spew shit responsibly, kids.
Anyways.

Summary
Kanaya Maryam, leader of the vampire covens in the state of New York, is getting married. Karkat Vantas, best man, couldn't be happier watching her up at the altar, dipping her wife into a kiss. He could almost cry, screw it, he is crying. He's never been one for big group gatherings full of people he doesn't know, too many folks asking why he's at gatherings for magical beings if he's clearly a human. At least he knows Roxy, most of Kanaya's friends, and the douche bag in the shades he saw on Tinder's magical rip-off site. Karkat wouldn't be talking to him if it weren't for that fact that he just dropped his very expensive looking coat right next to Karkat's chair, and Karkat should definitely return it before Shades leaves the building. It's what a decent person would do, right? No harm in returning a eye blistering red lettermen, right?

Time for takeoff, Houston, the water's just fine.
Or: In which Dave Strider discovers a modicum of self worth while stuck on a trip through foreign space, with a short, irritable, and annoyingly attractive troll as his only conversational partner for the next two weeks.
