Dave Strider has never liked the idea of owning a troll. Humanity's latest exotic pet turns into a must-have for the household by the time he's five, and he couldn't be more disturbed. But when Dave sees the unbeaten eyes of mutant blood at the market, does he really have a choice? Now with a life at the end of a leash, Dave has to face a whole new set of problems. Has our Cool Kid bitten off way more than he can chew? The story of an unlikely friendship formed from the cold ashes of the past and reaching for the stars. Follow the heart breaking, disturbing and beautiful story of Dave Strider and Karkat Vantas. Or A Homestuck AU where trolls are slaves to humans. The Condescension is galaxies away, humans conquered Alternia, and troll wrigglers are sent on ships as cargo, where they are "trained" on Earth and then sold. Warning: blood, nightmares, domestic abuse, etc. I don't wanna spoil it.

[On a probably indefinite hiatus.] The powerful eight gods of the universe look after Alternia. They send sprites to help their subjects in need. They protect the planet from harm. But in return, every year a troll is selected and taken by the gods. The gods can do whatever they want with the chosen one, including turning them into a servant, killing them outright, or even making the troll into a god. This year, Karkat Vantas has been chosen. He hates the gods because two years ago, his best friend was taken and died. Karkat feels depressed, and not even the sprites can help him. So what happens when a certain god decides to take care of Karkat and make him a god? What happens when everything turns upside down?
