Chapter 21/?
The world is ending. Dave Strider can’t tell if the bender he’s on is because of that, or because of how bad stuff is fucked up with Rose, or just because his own bullshit has finally caught up to him. All he knows is that if the world DOES end today, maybe that wouldn’t be the worst thing.
Of course, he can’t throw in the towel. His fate is already written. He raises a resistance. He duels the false presidents. He stands against the Empress herself. So maybe that’s why Skaia allows a glitch that carries a consciousness across sessions that might save Dave’s shitty life.
I've been immensely enjoying "All I Know Are Sad Songs", and even though it's not finished I seriously want to begin making a podfic for it. Would that be okay with you?
pt 2:
Crap, hit send before I added this part: I’m also working on illustrations for the story, if you’re interested in seeing those. :)

I love all fanworks of my stuff!! I’m so glad that people are enjoying aikass and I’d honestly love to see whatever ANYONE wants to do in association with it. I’m putting it out there to resonate with people, so it’s the best compliment imagination to have something echo back :)

First three illustrations for “All I Know Are Sad Songs” by @purplepurpleunicornsparkle. RIGHT CLICK FOR FULL-SIZE IMAGES.
At the moment, I hope to make one picture per chapter, but we’ll see how that plan holds up! :)
I used somewhat different coloring styles for each picture for different
reasons… The hallucination is basic HS comic colors, not much detail or shading. Present day has full coloring plus shading and highlights for added depth. And the flashback
shows the kids in bright flat color, with everything else dull and out-of-focus.
oh my gosh, look at these lovely illustrations from All I Know Are Sad Songs! I especially love the young Dave and Rose flashback one! This is so wonderful!
I can’t wait to see more!! I’ll have to link them to the fic :)
Chapter 1/7
You know that game where you offer someone something
amazing but then add a deal-breaking caveat? Like, “You’re a billionare!
But you have to donate half to your least favourite politician.”
Well, how’s this for a good one?
You walk through a door and become an all powerful god in a newborn universe!
But you carry all of your emotional baggage with you.
Yoooo it’s @dirkjakeweek and I’m taking a break from All I Know Are Sad Songs to write a Post-Canon, Godstuckesque Dirkjake reconciliation fic. This is part 1! My fic doesn’t follow the prompts from @dirkjakeweek, but I wanted to do something anyway, and longfic is where I’m at :D
dirkar:
When Jake wants to have sex:
Dirk on his knees in two seconds flat, fingers already at Jake’s zipper, nearby countertop completely cleared just in case Jake wants to bend him over it, Jake waiting for a pot of soup water to boil, exasperated, trying to tell him that for Christopher crust’s sake my good man I said maybe we could do a salacious tango AFTER dinnertime is all wrapped up,
When Jake wants to hold hands:
Dirk stares at the outstretched hand until things get awkward, slowly takes it, anxious, shrugs down when Jake gives his palm an affectionate squeeze, stares intensely at a speck on the wall to his far right, blushes and has to sheepishly pull away after two minutes of contact to compose himself and steady his breathing,

Wow this is not going up as fast as I had hoped it would. This continues to be my contribution to @dirkjakeweek that doesn’t really follow the prompts and yet I think is a very strong statement on everything I have to say about Dirkjake. (that’s a joke I will never say everything I have to say about Dirkjake.) This chapter, Dirk POV.
I’M NOT GOING TO SAY THIS AGAIN.

Sorry about the long delay between this chapter and last, I’ve been splitting my attentions between two fics! Thankfully my other fic is only 7 chapters and is half done, so the delays won’t be much longer :)
landofsomethingsomething:
writing jake english means googling things like “whats 1920s slang for VERY DETERMINED” and “how do you spell cockamamie” at 2 in the morning someone please save me from these boys.
(This is the sequel to a previous work of mine, All The Things That Divide Us. It stands on its own but the context from the first would probably be helpful. This one is also extremely smutty while the first one is not. Post-Canon ongoing reconciliation shit, people figuring out themselves and each other and what sort of weird ass situation their universe is in post sburb.)
This fic is almost pure dirkjake but has hints of johnroxy and jade/davepeta. The series as a whole is these three plus rosemary and davekat. Enjoy :DD
this is so good that my entire body is still quivering

After this, I will be taking another short break to work on my DirkJake postgame fic! Hopefully it won’t be too long!
