Summary
Three dark mage-kings known as the Sea Lords, the Orphaner and his two sons, hold the world in an iron grip. The reincarnation of an ancient hero known as the Sufferer leads a rebellion against their power. For all the blood and magic spilled, it seems the world will be at war forever.
Rebel spymaster Sollux Captor is kidnapped by one of the Sea Lords to break a puzzling code. He's sure his fate is interrogation and death, or worse. But the lines between friend and foe are less clear than they seemed, and his captivity may have placed him in the perfect position to turn the tide.
[inspired by the world of the 'Black Company' series by Glen Cook; you don't need to be familiar with it to understand this story.]

Summary
youre alriight, DK. your patdown2 could u2e a couple poiinter2 but ii wiill have leniiency on account of your biiology.
It’s either a fucking blessing or a double-fucking curse, that your self-awareness about what weird shit has the potential to do for you is nigh tangible enough that the comment on biology settles along with the warmth already in your stupid core. What the hell is wrong with you? A sizeable grocery list of things, probably. Definitely. But as you take in the edges and planes of Sollux’s body, the way Eridan stands perfectly still save for the slow drag of his eyes from your hips to your shoulders, and think maybe the rightness bar in the engine block is low enough for you.
You say, “I’m a fast learner.”
Sollux’s mouth splits again, into a fuck-ugly grin that tightens your pants and grounds your lingering self-doubt into stardust.

And it's perfect, this place you've found between the two of them. They both need you for different things and you can do both, they fit absurdly well in to different holes in your heart that you didn't know you had.

Summary
You don't get anything like a warm welcome when you find the others. You weren't expecting any better, to be honest: you've lost the luxury of not knowing just exactly what your supposed friends think of you. But you know just how shit you are at being alone, even when the alternative is being around a bunch of people who think you're a pathetic, unfunny joke. So you square your shoulders and step out of the trees, into the circle of torchlight.

Summary
You’ve never been one for the ridiculous decadence that some of your fellow rulers go for—even when you crush another petty regime and the warlord’s possessions pass over to you, it’s rare for you to take on a troll from one of their harems. You’re picky. And it serves you well, because when your pale mates look up, from books and art and water and instruments, and see you, even though their names are kept secret (none of your concern, you've taught yourself not to wonder even though you want to know so badly sometimes) every single face is one you would trust with your life.
Kink Meme Prompt: Warlord Karkat, and his harem of pale concubines.

“Ith not,” you stutter, glaring at your hands. “M’ Noth a-a freak,” you squint at your shaking fingers, trying to make a spark, to catch a glimpse of either red or blue. There’s nothing.

In an attempt to be more multicultural (and show off for his would-be kismesis), Sollux reluctantly agrees to try some good old fashioned Earth entertainment.
He probably should have read the fine print.

Summary
When he was younger (and the world still existed), Karkat used to read lots of high-low pale romance. He liked to picture himself as a daring lowblood hero, the one troll who could soothe their beautiful, terrifying moirail.
He never thought it would be like this.

Summary
He’s staring at you--no, he’s staring through you. He knew, you realize. He knew this entire time that something was amiss, that you weren’t telling the whole sacred truth. He knew what your plans were, and that was why he had followed you this far. This self sacrificial idiot had taken the position as your moirail to keep an eye on you.
That is what makes him worthy, though.
