Summary
In which Jade, Karkat, Gamzee and Feferi deal with complicated lives, fall into various flavors of quadrant-crossing emotionally messy love with each other, several minor noteworthy characters make key appearances to flesh out the plot and the setting, people process their various emotional problems at one another with questionable grace, one protagonist quits school for the foreseeable future, one gets a less shitty job, one escapes an abusive environment, and one learns to relate to others as emotional peers. Features several moves of house, a not inconsiderable amount of worldbuilding, several instances of characters whose relationship to their gender is appreciably different from canon with pronouns to suit, non-canonical troll blood colors, at least one discussion of xenolinguistics, very little in the way of direct conflict, a great deal of emotional turmoil, attempted mood and setting evocation through sensory details, several subtle injokes referring to the process of conceiving and writing this fic, and one tired gag in which the contents of the fic are described in the form of an Alternian movie title.

Summary
Fic followup to Jade/Gamzee RP w/ credibilityproblem (in turn inspired heavily by rememberwhenyoutried's Let There Be Light series, which you really need to go read right now).
AU Summary: Decades ago, a shipful of refugees fled Alternia. Ship badly damaged, Helmsman burnt out, they set down on the first world that could sustain them.
It was lucky that the Alternian vessel crashed during a slow and boring day. As it was, military radar operators the world over panicked, and the ensuing political hijinx around access to the aliens made international relations lively for years.
First contact was weirdly uneventful. The trolls had technological and personal capabilities unlike anything on Earth -- but they couldn't be analyzed or even explained in terms of familiar science. They were psychologically quite relatable. And eminently capable of protecting their interests.
A bargain: paltry secrets in exchange for a home. Room to grow. Integration. Today, several generations of trolls have known no other home.
-Jade Harley vents at Karkat about life after meeting Gamzee Makara in the park earlier.

Summary
Tonight, it’s cold, and so Rei’s bundled up in the passenger’s seat in a scarf and a parka, her hands tucked into wool mittens. Asuka’s in her pajamas – ratty sweatpants and her lacrosse jersey with SORYU emblazoned on the back in big black letters. She doesn’t seem to notice the cold, but Rei still wishes she’d brought an extra jacket for her, even if Asuka would turn her nose up at it in some strange act of defiance against someone loving her.
