Summary
After a hard shift saving the world, Stark - in his infinite wisdom - has decided to bond with Steve by talking about his favorite subject. Well, third favorite, after building things and smart-mouthing people.
Steve is pretty sure none of his experiences really count. Tony is starting to wonder what Steve's definition of "is" is.

Summary
"An immense saucer descending from the clouds and impacting the ground, as the press and through them the people of Earth looked on in shock and awe. That was the scene in California's Mohave desert two years ago today: the historic first view of the Alternian ship upon its dramatic arrival. Their ship was a refugee ship carrying a quarter million children and young adults ready to settle in almost any environment, but they washed ashore on Earth with no way to get back to where they came from. Civil liberties attorneys successfully lobbied for the Alternians' release from quarantine and in the last two years, the Alternians have become the latest addition to the population of Los Angeles."
The representitives of a race of newcomers fight to give their people a home on Earth- but even without the deadly killer stalking the streets of LA, just surviving is hard enough for some. Can humans and aliens work together to build a better future? Or is it all doomed to end in bloodshed?
One thing is for sure - for sixteen teenagers, this is going to be a dangerous week.

Summary
Karkat shoves his way into the room gracelessly, overlarge toolbelt clanking against the doorframe and then a table as he whirls around, holding a pizza box suspiciously low against his hips despite being fully clothed.
"I am here," he announces with poorly concealed rage, "to deliver this goddamn fucking pizza. And fix the load gaper."
For the kinkmeme: Karkat has only the vaguest notions of human porn cliches, but it doesn't prevent him from putting exactly as much effort into roleplaying as he puts into anything else. Reedited and slightly extended.

Summary
Rose and Dave start losing their eyesight after witnessing the birth of the Green Sun, and while Rose seems to be adjusting rather well, Dave isn't. Compound that with his general lack of cultural sensitivity, throw in a Terezi who is altogether too willing to school him in the ways of seeing without sight, and you've got this story here.

Summary
"Sometimes Dave returns bringing his own dinner in the same sack, and you both eat and talk about your time spent before going to sleep. Tonight he had fairly crawled back from the dj thing, trailing the sickly-brown reek of those awful cigarette things humans like. Underneath that, you could smell that he was deeply bone-tired, a scent like rainclouds approaching and dust just under his skin. You finished one more volley in an online argument with Vriska and blocked her for good measure before closing the husktop so he could hand you a huge paper bag. It crinkled in your grasp, redolent with wonderful odours."
An exploration of Terezi's senses and food, heavily pT-influenced, that kind of tried to become a consideration of adaptation on both personal and larger scales, because I am apparently incapable of fluff.
