Summary
Transcripts of the fangame Pesterquest Rewritten.
What if MSPAR remembered themself at the beginning of Pesterquest's prologue? If they didn't immediately leave Doc Scratch's mansion, but instead kept their character arc from Friendsim, and used their new knowledge of Homestuck to try and save someone?
Contains full spoilers for the fangame Pesterquest Rewritten, and is best enjoyed with at least some knowledge of Friendsim and Pesterquest.

Summary
I wrote this awhile ago so I don't remember every thought that led up to it but basically it's just a rewrite of gamzee's pesterquest route where gamz doesn't go crazy.
One thing I didn't like is that I'm a believer that the reason he got a little silly (killed two people and ruined everything) in canon was influence by lil cal in tandem with some other stuff and following his silly clown religion, but mostly lil cal. If the reader is able to separate him from that I'd like to think he would be about as normal as he was before going sober.
I just feel that, given that one of the themes of the game is that the reader wants to give these guys a better chance than the canon ever did it's kinda cruel to relegate him either to being a stoner or a murder.
You can either choose your actions by going to chapter select or just going forward and reading the endings one at a time.The rewrite includes 3 different endings and was originally written on google slides so it might be somewhat awkward to read as it had to be adjusted to only text. If you find yourself getting lost imagine his sprites ig
I have nothing against the pesterquest writers and I liked the game -

Summary
you, karkat vantas, have been dropped off on a completely alien planet with not too much fanfare and left with someone who honestly seems as fucking bad at life as you are.
it should be a relief to not have to worry about getting culled, but how can you possibly feel at ease when you're not under the same sky you're used to and you have nothing from home to cling to when you're alone?

Summary
Gamzee's woken up with this one particular song circling around in her head, off and on ever since she was young. One night, Karkat hears that eerie carousel song, too.
(This was written for Pale Gamkar week on Tumblr, intended to fill multiple prompts... Day 2: Genderbend, Day 3: Wounds and Day 6: Song. Should I be posting it now, on Day 2? I'm not sure, but here it is.)

Summary
Your name is Jade Harley, and right now, you feel very young. You're very good at taking care of yourself though, and can do lots of things for yourself with your guardian dog Bec's help. It's not much different from any other day where you feel big. You count on your reminder covered fingers until you find an age that seems right. six, yeah, that's you. You're Jade, and today you're six years old, ready to take on the world with everything you have.
---
Your name is Dave Strider, and you feel hazy. Your head hurts, and your body feels weak. You don't want to think about what caused it. Something feels wrong about you, like your body is too big for you. Childish, maybe? You're not very sure, but what you are sure of, is that you shouldn't be doing it. It's not like you. Nobody needs to see you like this, not even yourself. You need to get over it, you don't have time for childish garbage. You never did, so why start now? It's dumb, even ironically. But even then, you feel... no. No, you can't. -

Summary
“This was ours,” he says, his voice low and demanding. Had he always been oppressive? It’s hard to tell. Some parts of him, perhaps, but never the whole - but what had wholeness meant when he was made with dotted lines along which the universe was instructed to cut? The Prince as he is and the prince by his side were moulded into the shape of something real from the same cloth, but hollow beneath it. There is a destiny at play, and he has known that for a while, now. “Still is, if you’re looking at it from my view. Which you will, someday. It was supposed to be ours, in the roundabout nature that most things are for me now.”
There is quiet from the young prince.
(Or: Dirk and Ultimate Dirk have a little chat.)
