Summary
“Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.”― Frank Lloyd Wright

--
Dave has spent the whole of his 20s raising his younger brother, and now they’ve left Texas for a schooling opportunity in Los Angeles for precocious seven-year-old Dirk.Karkat is the youngest teacher working at prestigious private school Becquerel Academy, where he has very modest dreams of teaching English literature to talented high school students. However, the administration keeps sticking him in third grade.
The two are brought together repeatedly by proximity, coincidence, and one shared thought: Oh no, he's hot.

Summary
Some mistakes are so fucking big that they divert the path of your life entirely, sending you somewhere you were never meant to go. Some mistakes are so seismic and so obvious that when you look back on your life all you can see is the beacon where you made them. Some mistakes leave you so far off course you don't even recognize who you are or why you're still here.
You don't usually get a chance to make amends.

Summary
Suddenly, the black hole that sits waiting in your subconscious explodes open again. Something is on the other side, and it wants you to know, and it wants you to remember, and you’re overcome by that desperate nostalgia that you’re beginning to feel too much. Oblivion is at your feet. Hands are on your heart, ready to tear it apart. And despite it all, you look at Tavros sitting across from you, and you picture him eating in your apartment, and outside, it’s night, and you can hear the ocean.

Summary
He’s John fucking Crocker. Funniest guy in Hollywood. He’s got Netflix specials coming out the wazoo. His comedy tour is sold out across the board.
Everybody loves him, but nobody knows him.

Bookmarker's Notes
love this dirk and john. not the main focus of the story, but the portrayal of a relationship growing apart due to distance is so accurate it hurt sometimes. excellent storytelling
