Summary
After coming out of their Sburb/Sgrub session victorious, the players go back in time and merge their universes together instead of creating a brand new one. As both humans and trolls try to improve their respective worlds, the decision is made to save the imperial helmsman and to bring him back to a new and reformed Alternia.
The road to recovery will prove more difficult than the rescue mission itself, as trolls hiding in the shadows struggle to find out how they fit in this new world.

Summary
"They think I'm mad. The University refused funding, the Archaeological Society laughed me out of their quarterly meeting, and even Roberts, my most loyal colleague, has abandoned the expedition. But I know what I saw in those fragments from the '48 dig. The symbols on the cartouche don't match any known dynasty, and the material composition is unlike anything documented in Egyptian archaeology."
—From the Personal Journal of Jacob Harley, March 3, 1958
Almost seventy years later, Jacob's granddaughter Jade finally proves he wasn't crazy. The device buried beneath Egyptian sands is real, and what lies beyond that ancient ring will change everything.
When John Egbert reluctantly accepts command of humanity's first team through the portal, he expects a routine mission. Instead, he finds himself leading a team of Earth’s brightest into a universe far stranger and more dangerous than Earth ever imagined.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

Summary
“You nervous?” Dave turned to the sound of his brother’s voice, momentarily distracted from the half-folded paper in his hands.
“Nah, not really?” he replied with a shrug, partially surprised at the question. “This job seems pretty standard. Transporting a retired ship to its home planet for scrapping. Easy peasy.”
Born as a set of quadruplets, Dave and his siblings grew up attached to each others’ sides like a human monkey chain. Having each others’ backs proved more difficult once they became young adults, however. Their separate interests began pulling them in different directions, but thankfully Dave and his siblings did share the desire to leave Mars together. They had all decided to go the “interstellar traveler” route, and agreed to take multiple tracks at the Interstellar Travel Academy to become their own self-sustaining crew and eventually buy their own ship.
One morning Dave woke up to an Earth-based company looking for an individual with both engineering and pilot experience, which he was. With only one other crewmate aboard the payout would be insanely good, so Dave took it without hesitation. And now the day had finally come.

Tags
Summary
Karkat Ampora, 30-sweep-old(!) mutant-seadweller, writes a concise, easy-to-understand guide on how to pass as a violetblood for aspiring cosplayers, FLARP-ers, and fellow trolls who are not interested in being outed or culled. Not convinced? He’s been surrounded by violet-blooded seadwellers from his extended stay in the Imperial Navy Preparatory Academy. He’s been the bodyguard of Her Virtuous Emancipator. And he survived!

Summary
“Is this... psychic schtick... some sort of lowblood thought exercise?”
“Not a ‘thought’ exercise, Karcat!” Nepeta answers, their throatflaps making a purr again - but instead of the joyful drone it was earlier, this sounds like a hive of furious bees. “It’s a purractical one!”(You, Karkat Ampora - under the watchful gaze of Kanaya Captor - are entrusted to go on an undercover mission to recruit a Tealblood. A Tealblood who, for some reason, set up a psychic tent instead of training to be a law enforcer.)

Summary
“Fashionably late, Mr. Ampora!” Recently-turned-nine-sweeps Eridan Vantas exclaimed with explosive pomp, slamming open the door to his respiteblock. "Welcome to the lair of the Chosen One!"
Karkat Ampora, predictably, groaned, teeth gritted as if it could stop the bright red blush invading his face. The hint of a wrinkle between his eyebrows deepened as he yelled: “I HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE!”
(Karkat visits the hive of his future kismesis, Eridan, for the latter's wriggling day before they leave Alternia for good.)

Summary
After living through the revolution twice and putting his entire heart and soul into it, Dammek isn't sure what to do now that it's finally over.
Dammek sighed, and stared up at the night sky. He could still see the faint shape of the ship carrying the message of the revolution off planet in the distance, and part of him wondered if he’d made a mistake when he chose to stay behind. With Xefros gone and all his friends from Earth millions of light years away he had no one left, and there wasn’t anything to keep him on Alternia, but he knew deep down that he’d made the right decision. He’d been fighting for the revolution for twice the time any of the others had, apart from maybe Tyzias, and he deserved a break. He had to start moving on eventually.
It's lighter than it sounds, I promise. Limeblood Dammek AU! Rated Mature just to be safe. Most tags are there for references made to the subject matter, but I figured I should put them there just in case. Short hopeful post-revolution piece centered around Dammek.

Summary
“Your name is ERIDAN VANTAS. And today, you have a TOP-SECRET MISSION to INFILTRATE THE IMPERIAL NAVY PREPARATORY ACADEMY.”
“Shut your facegash, Vantas,” your friend? Close acquaintance? Pitch crush? You settle on “newest Revolution recruit”, the perpetually irate KARKAT AMPORA, warns, a sharp – sharper – edge in his voice. “You do not need to narrate your actions out loud, for fuck's sake.”
(In which Eridan and Karkat sneak into the latter’s school at night to vantalize – I mean, vandalize – the giant mural of Orphaner Dualscar.)

Summary
They were not supposed to go this way.
They - that is, Her Virtuous Emancipator, Aradia Peixes, and her royal bodyguard Karkat Ampora - were not supposed to be descending into the caves of Alternia's poorest regions far below the surface. They were supposed to be using public transport or her luxurious royal vehicle, staying in big cities or under the sea... not swerving a fucking podbike between lowblood slums and their inhabitants, dammit!
But it was Aradia's orders. Karkat couldn't defy her.

Karkat Vantas and the Last Surviving Limeblood by nachrichtenDance (TopfSecret)
Fandoms: Homestuck
22 Nov 2021
Tags
Summary
Karkat Vantas was born with no lusus to take her. So the Signless' followers stepped in.
In her early life, Karkat moved between the hands of the followers, never seeing the wider Alternian society as visions of the past plagued her waking moments. They conclude she's the direct reincarnation of the Sufferer, destined to bring blood unity to Alternia.
This burden results in Karkat having to juggle three things at once - hiding her gender and blood color, being the symbol of revolution, and finishing Sgrub - while fulfilling her "destiny".
That shit's been tough enough, but nooo, she had to get another power. What for?! She has no damn idea!
Thankfully, she has one constant in her life: LASSIE, the LASt SurvIving limEblood - who's now an AI under tight control of the rebellion. So why not ask them for help?

Summary
Karkat Vantas had finally achieved his dream and enlisted amongst the ranks of the bloodthirsty Threshecutioners. Many sweeps later and a war breaks out all across Alternia. A rebellion was formed against the Empress and Karkat was fighting on the frontlines.
But before all that he was a lowly mutant blood initiate with not a single rank to his name. He was lost and had all hope of leadership stripped from him.
Until he met her.
