    Summary

    You craved peace and quiet. It was only natural, especially given your obsessive stalker issue years back. You kept few friends, and were completely ready to swear off a romantic relationship completely.

    Of course, life never goes the way we have it planned, does it?

    Summary

    Brian’s been leaving little codes within codes for Jay, secretly-openly flirting with him. He’s pretty sure that Jay finally left one in reply for him in his last video. The only way to find out for certain is to haunt Jay’s hotel room and wait and see. (A gift fic set in creative-clawmarks' vampire AU.)

    Summary

    "Corruption by the Other cannot be allowed to prevail," the Speaker was saying, his voice soaring on the gentle desert winds. "My family, let this be a lesson. If you feel the Other taking hold of you, filling your heart with tar, reach out, ask this family for help."

    The heavy clouds above Jay had started to dissipate and he stared at the moonlight that streamed down. This night would have been the perfect night to escape, dark enough that (with the dark clothes he'd planned to wear) he wouldn't have been seen, but moonlit enough that he would have been able to see where he was going.

    What a perfect night to die on.

    He wished that time could stop, just for a moment, to allow him to take it all in without fear colouring everything he saw. Jay didn't listen to the rest of the Speaker's speech, he'd heard it all before when his mother and siblings had been handed over to the Gods this same way; ramblings about lessons learned and how this hurt those left behind more than those accused, meaningless chatter about how the Speaker saw in their hearts that they were good, true people.

    Those words were ones that included Jay just weeks ago, before the Speaker had known of his transgressions.

    Summary

    You kind of hate to admit it, but even though you promised to visit, you’ve been avoiding this place. You’ve only been here once before, and you never wanted to return but, like you said, you promised you’d visit and something (basically a memo from a Future Karkat who was less of a fucking douchebag than the other ones) had told you now was the time to stop putting it off like a little bitch.

     

    You’d messaged ahead but Eridan hadn’t responded.
