Happy Little Pill
Your name is Dave Strider and you have officially lost all control over your life. You like to smoke a lot of marijuana, you tend to tap into acid here and there, and you drink more than anyone your age should. But no matter how many times people drill the phrases of 'Stay away from drugs and alcohol!' and 'Smoking kills!' into your abused head, you just... really don't care anymore.. Well, not until you meet a certain nerd who somehow manages to intrigue you that is. (POV changes throughout the story) (AN: There is a high possibility that I will change the name of the fic and change the cover, so don't be alarmed if you see it differently.) (THIS IS A TRIGGER WARNING, DON'T READ IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TRIGGERS YOU: STORY CONTAINS UNDERAGE DRINKING, SMOKING, AND DRUG ABUSE! I WILL ADD MORE WARNINGS AS THE STORY PROGRESSES! ALSO INCLUDES HARSH LANGUAGE, BRIEF MENTIONS OF SUICIDE THREATS, AND BULLYING!)Complete
With Eyes to Hear and Hands to Speak
John is the new kid, with everything that comes with that title; awkwardness, shyness, and attempts to make friends. Except all of this is made even worse with the fact that he's deaf. Dave is your stereotypical resident coolkid. Except he's not. He's a huge nerd, but most people find him intimidating, what with his shades and the fact that he doesn't talk to anyone. Or rather, that he can't talk to anyone, being mute. The two get paired together and form a close bond quite quickly, to the surprise of most of the school, but to none of their friends'. ((I really suck at descriptions. Also, updates for this aren't set, so be prepared for longish waits between chapters or several at a time.))Complete
Blue and Red (DaveJohn)
THIS IS LITERALLY ANCIENT YALL WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS please if you do read it, read with a grain of salt because it was started in 2015 Your name is John Egbert and you're perfectly content with being one of the only kids who has like, two friends, well three if you counted your "Best Internet Bro", TG. All seemed to be going its natural course when the new kid walks in, and he's been your best friend since 3rd grade. Your name is Dave Strider and you just moved to Washington. Your Bro said it would be better to live in a suburban area in fucking-cold-as-frozen-shitington rather than your apartment in Houston. Now, this wouldn't be as bad if all these snotty kids were smart enough to figure out your mute, or if they all knew ASL, but apparently there's only one kid in the entire fucking school who can understand you. Just your Best Internet Bro of course.Complete![Marching Band: The Journey [EDITING]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/128471977-256-k949313.jpg)

PARTY 4 U | HUMANSTUCK DAVEKAT
"Dave Strider is your typical high school cool kid, blonde and good-looking- just what you need for high school. On the other hand, Karkat Vantas is quiet and reserved. He also doesn't quite realise what Dave means to him. What will happen when they are partnered together for a project?" This story includes mature topics such as sex, drugs and alcohol! I never believed anyone would even read the original story, let alone enjoy it. For that this is actually dedicated to @MeMe81436 who commented a few times and inspired me to rewrite this as I did not feel like the quality was good enough for the story to just be continued. Thank you for reading! - RamonaComplete
