Summary
Dave Strider is a 26 year old Anthropology grad student who ends up being the TA for a Media Studies course. The professor, Dr. Karkat Vantas, just happens to be an alien who wants to teach about the intersection of Human and Alternian media.
This is some seriously self-indulgent stuff where I basically had fun with the idea of an anthropologist and an alien history teacher falling in love. A lot of weird shit is about to go down. This is a slow burn because I legitimately got caught up in writing exchanges.

Summary
“What’s with the sword theme?” She asks.
“Aiglamene likes swords.” The walls of Scabbards are leaden with them, replicas of swords, pictures of swords, a suit of armor off in a corner holding–you guessed it–a sword.
“So why not call the bar ‘Swords’?”
“Well,” Gideon is only a little delighted that she’s asked this. “Imagine a sword is a dick, then a scabbard must be a–”
“Ah.”
“‘Pussys’ would be too on the nose for a lesbian bar, so Scabbards it is.” Gideon leans forward, hands on the counter and a conspiratorial tone in her voice. “You do know you’re in a lesbian bar, right?”
“Yes, Griddle. I have eyes and critical thinking skills.” Harrow takes another too-big drink.
“I didn’t know nuns went to lesbian bars.” Gideon says, to be a shit.Or: I was just gonna write a fun little thing about Gideon being a bartender and a drummer because I find both of those things attractive, and then 2k of tragic catholic guilt attached itself to Harrow like a revenant, so shit got angsty.
There'll be porn in later chapters, I promise.Series

Summary
Karkat makes his way out to California on an overnight trip to see his former best friend, Dave, whose move across the country is largely responsible for the use of the term "former."
Loosely based on the song Diplomat's Son by Vampire Weekend, though I wouldn't call this as a songfic.

Summary
As punishment for a particularly scathing end to her junior year of high school, Gideon Nav is sent to Camp Mithraeum: A sprawling collection of empty fields, wood cabins halfway rotted to hell, and a lake which glitters gorgeously in the sun, sitting approximately at the edge of the universe. Gideon, loudly gay and loudly atheist, is hoping to make this experience as miserable for everyone else as it is for her. Just when she thinks that bible camp couldn't possible get any worse, she's partnered up with her greatest enemy, Harrowhark Nonagesimus.

Summary
Gideon Nav lives in an small city apartment with three med students. Aside from regular altercations with her nemesis, college life is going just peachy. That is until an unknown virus begins breaking out along the coast with symptoms akin to a fucked up human version of rabies, except instead of paralysis and death, its victims wander the streets aimlessly in search of throats to rip out. Finally, Gideon has something worse than ex-girlfriends and final exams to worry about: the zombie apocalypse.

...and a partridge in a pear tree by strangehunger

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

The Case of the Man Who Two-Thirds Wasn't There by glisteningceruleaneyes
Fandoms: Disco Elysium (Video Game)
29 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Three-and-one-third bodies have been found in an abandoned vehicle on the riverbank.
It would be a challenging case even without the bad weather, weapons smuggling, white nationalists, industrial accidents, and the concept of pedigree dog breeds—but over it all hangs one troubling question: What is it that fascinates you about Kim Kitsuragi? Is it working class camaraderie? A sinister hex of mysterious origin? Did you imprint on him in Martinaise, like an amnesiac duckling? If you don’t figure out what’s going on soon, people are going to start to notice. Especially him.
And sooner or later? Everything is related to the case.

Summary
A consistent factor of Karkat Vantas' life is how his efforts turn to dust around him. When you know that about yourself, it's particularly cruel to enter a relationship with someone as fate-bruised as Gamzee Makara.
Three dates in, and that hasn't stopped him yet.

Summary
Since you’re a grown man, you only spend, like, five minutes complaining. What are you going to do, not graduate over three credits? No way. But you’re kind of irritated, because you’ve had your classes picked since June, and you’re also kind of embarrassed, because you’ve never taken anything in the social science department before, so you’ll be taking a 100-level as a senior.
Reading the course list over your shoulder, Dave points at the screen. “Dude, if you took this one, you’d have Dirk for a TA.”
“That one?” The course title - Gender, Sexuality, and Media - doesn’t track with your idea of Dave’s brother at all. “Why?”
“He’s doing a sociology Master's.”
“No, I know that,” you say. “I just didn’t think sociology was, like-” You pause. “I didn’t know he was doing gender and sexuality stuff.”
“Oh.” Dave shrugs. “Yeah, that’s his specialization.”Bookmarked by rustlingSilpha
