Summary
Karkat is a breeder troll, a fate to those who were previously seen as freaks and culled. Now, being born with bright red blood makes him destined to give birth to grubs in place of the extinct Mother Grub. He resents and rebels against his fate. He finds an old decrepit castle which he makes his home and eventually turns it into an orphanage. But trolls were never one to take differences lightly and are determined to put Karkat in his place. They won't take change lightly, especially in times of desperation.
Includes panels. The panels that contain gore are censored with a link to the uncensored version. Also a few NSFW panels that are not censored.Series

Summary
Things are going pretty good for Dave Elizabeth Strider, until his sister sends him a link to a video of an angry boy that basically ruins his chances of being the token straight kid. Meanwhile said Angry Boy is working on juggling irrational homophobes, his future of preaching (or, better yet, just screaming), and dealing with his flustered, clearly gay soulmate.

The Calm Is Terrifying When The Storm Is All You've Known by HappiKatt
Fandoms: Homestuck
10 Apr 2018

Summary
There were two kinds of trolls who went to Earth: rich shitheads with too much money and free time, and desperate assholes who couldn’t survive on Alternia, even with the best efforts of the young Condesce. Karkat hated the planet almost immediately, but with his home planet too dangerous for mutants, he really didn’t have any choice but to hide out on this weird little diurnal planet. At least he’d be safe. Or so he thought, right before blundering his way into an accidental friendship with the son of an anti-troll terrorist.
Slow burn, shifting perspectives; romance really isn't the focus here but it'll still play a significant part; extra content warnings will be posted with each relevant chapter.

Summary
The Kaiju - or Horrorterrors, as the trolls call them - first invaded Earth through a transdimensional rift at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Serving the Condesce in her quest to add Earth to the Alternian Empire, these monsters have terrorized humanity for twelve years. With the help of rebel troll factions and the adaptation of Alternian mind integration technology - The Drift - the Interspecies Defense Program has fought back as the last line of defense between the Kaiju and Earth.
Karkat Vantas was a Jaeger pilot, fought for freedom in the Assault on the Breach that brought trolls to Earth. The loss of his co-pilot left him bitter and full of rage, but desperate times have lead to him being recruited to join the fray once more.
Dave Strider is the best and brightest the Interspec program has to offer. Jaeger Restoration Project Head, highest simulation score on record, and younger brother of the Deputy Marshal - except he's not allowed in a Jaeger.
Nobody expects them to be Drift Compatible.
If I lose everything in the fire, I'm sending all my love to you...

Summary
Dave has bad habits. Bad coping mechanisms. Bad ideas. A lot of bad while he hopes for good.
Distractions. He always needs distractions. Who is he to pass up some strange troll in a mostly human area? He can still be adventurous.
Things may seem bad outside, but aren’t they alway worse at home? A saintly brotherly role model and one too many problems is the recipe for this troubled teen’s life.Bookmarked by turntechGnostalgic
