Homestuck AU
Dave Strider/Karkat Vantas
In three weeks, the number of shark attacks around the coast of Wilmington, NC had more than doubled the amount of incidents in the last 50 years. When business brings 14-year-old Karkat Vantas and his father to the sleepy beach town, this information is regarded as unimportant by the teen. He has always thought beaches were stupid, anyway. However, Dave Strider, the self-proclaimed "coolest kid in school" begs to differ, and is determined to show the new boy otherwise. As the two grow closer together, their secrets begin to loom over them - and Karkat Vantas may end up having to pay the price of his existence.

Red (Davekat)
Some Davekat cuz I was bored. Basically, Dave likes Karkat. He thinks there's nothing he can do about it, but during Summer Break (wow, so original) they get invited to stay at Eridan's because he has no friends (lol me). Some stuff ends up happening and... yeah... I suck at descriptions... (The title could refer to several things... I'll leave it up to you guys to decide) Also, there will probably be some Erisol and Cronkri in this. Oof I suck. Please read this. I swear the story is better then the description... probably... NONE OF THE IMAGES ARE MINE!!!Complete
My Knight in Shining Armor (( A Davekat Fanfiction ))
Karkat: "I, Karkat Vantas, have a fucked up home life. Sometimes I wonder why my life turned out the way it did, but other times I figure it is because I haven't been the son my mother wanted. Smart, strong, able to socialize.. Like my brother Kankri. He's not here to deal with our father and the abuse now, and it seems it only happened after he left. Oh God, how I wish I could have gone with him." Dave: I really wasn't glad for this move. Who wants to go from Texas to a town in Washington? That was seriously the total opposite of where I was and I, Dave Strider, along with my brother, Dirk, had made such a move. All my life I had been a good kid, as good as sneaking out and strifing on the roof can get. Now, I was a B average student and worked to keep it that way, though by my actions, people would think I flunk every one of my classes.Complete![GFDI, Dave [ DaveKat ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/24138831-256-k888565.jpg)

Of course he despises having to "babysit" him the first few classes before an incident happened with the 1950's goons of Cronus Ampora. What will happen later on once the incident is solved, because Cronus had no partake in it? Will Dave be able to sustain his secret in the dark? Or will he be able to trust Karkat enough to tell him his secret? How will Karkat react to it if the secret is revealed?Complete

Hey, Vantas? (DaveKat)
Dave Strider, now falling into a deep Depression, believes he has nothing to live for. Locking himself in his room and crying have become two of his few hobbies, and when he isn't alone, moping in his room, he's talking to Karkat Vantas. Karkat has been the only thing keeping him sane... and alive. But, there's something that Dave is completely oblivious to: Karkat has been in love with him for quite some time, and has yet to express how he truly feels. Not before long, Dave slowly begins to realize that maybe, just maybe, being more than friends is an option...Complete![A Life Made In A Movie.

A Life Made In A Movie. A Very Bad Movie [DAVEKAT]
Karkat Vantas. A very unpopular, short, and short-tempered troll. He tries desperately to make it through his first year in a human school, but with everyone still not fully accepting trolls added on with his so-called 'stupid' blood color, he can't find a single person who understands him, yet. Dave Strider. Maybe one of the most popular guys in the school. Nobody knows why he's always wearing those cool ironic shades of his, and most people want to find out. But Dave himself wants his eyes to stay hidden, and nobody else has ever seen them. He thinks that if anyone did, they would make fun of him and his good reputation would immediately disappear. The two, basically opposites, find that they actually might get along and relate to each other. But who knows what a simple sentence could do? (this is my second fanfic and the first homestuck one i've ever written so if the writing sucks don't judge! also none of the art is mine. ships included will most likely be johndave at the beginning, and throughout the fic theres gonna be erisol, rosemary, some jadenep, johndirk, and vrisrezi! if you don't like one or more of these ships deal with it.) (also both of the main sillies are trans if that changes anything. enjoy the fic!!!) (cover art by tgcg on tumblr)Complete
