Summary
Basil's been breaking the slow way for three years now, all omens and signs on the sidelines. Aubrey hates him; Kel's moved on; Hero's at college; Sunny's... gone; Grandma's health is getting worse—abandoned; one part left alone and two parts tragedy. Bricks laid by fear, and all these walls holding something in. Home's a prison of family photo polaroids on the walls, skewed truths and panoramic views, all yellowing at the corners, slowly replaced by the golden hour sun shining down on the things that couldn’t ever leave him.
Primarily told from Basil's perspective, The Garden Within details a part of his pre-canon spiral in the year leading up to and through the events of canon—with vignette perspectives from the other members of the cast, too, told throughout the seasons as they change, and as all of them change with it. Each of them healing like rusty weather vanes in that hurricane horrible scene, and counting mistakes in the rings of a tree.
Someday, everything will be okay again.

Summary
Sunny tells them everything. The words are strange in his mouth, like rocks tumbling out of him, rough and ragged and unstoppable, but he doesn’t stop. Focus, persist, overcome...

Summary
Sunny waits for Basil to wake up inside the hospital after all his friends have left, his heart full of unresolved feelings for the boy who held his hand during his darkest moment and promised him that everything is going to be okay.
Then he receives a call from his mom. She's taking Basil to live with her at their new home in the city.
Sunny isn't sure how to feel about his best friend coming to live with him, but maybe it's better than being alone again.

Summary
Karkat Vantas always accepted the fact that he was not going to live past nine sweeps. It was just a certainty of his sad, miserable life. At least, that was until his friends found out and decided to hatch a plan to get him out of the Alternian empire. A plan that actually worked.
Now, he was stranded on an alien planet, at the mercy of some strange creature that was either trying to help him or going about some freaky ritual of flirting with your food before you eat it.
Also, aliens have sunglasses.
He was better off dying on Alternia, wasn't he?

Summary
But that’s the whole reason he’s here, isn’t it? He’s not out here hunting Humans. He’s not even hunting deer, or bears, or anything else that featured in Bambi. He’s out here, freezing his nuts off every night, because he’s hunting Angels.
Sometimes Dean wishes that Angels were like how they’re described in the Bible. How people from time too old for him to care much about thought Angels were messengers and warriors of God, protectors of Humans. He knows that how they’re really described in the Bible is actually pretty terrifying, but at least they were told by God that they’re supposed to love Humans, right?
That’s a thousand times better than what Angels really turned out to be.
