Summary
It has been an adventure of sorts, to trace your fingers on this map and try to guide Dave correctly to the place you've been waiting to visit all your life. At points, you almost gave in and admitted that it would probably be a better idea if you had a better guide - something not as archaic as your current methods. But the truth is the both of you persevered, and even when you got lost, with nothing but the neverending road stretching ahead and behind you, there were moments of solace to be had, times where the bigger plan would be swept under the rug because it was just the two of you after all.

Summary
Your name is Tavros Nitram and you've been in love for years. And for one reason or another, your love could never be returned.
The object of your affections is Gamzee Makara, and you've known each other practically since birth, living side by side, tiny house thriving in the shadow of a towering mansion. As kids, you'd swiftly climb the wall between you to walk alongside him in his garden, bask in the constant joy of his wonderfully cheerful demeanor, until his father showed up at one of the opulent windows, sending for the butler to scurry you out.

Summary
Your name is Dave Strider, but names lose their meaning when they're not used for too long, and sometimes you fear yours has hit its expiration date quite a while ago.
You've been wallowing inside this crackling abandoned house for so long that you've practically lost all your connection with the outside world, along with the few people you still know from there, people you've grown to cherish throughout the span of thirteen years, but don't seem to want you to matter anymore.

Summary
Your name is Jake English, and you really don't know how you got yourself in this situation.
For a while now, you've doubted of how well your good pal Dirk had raised himself in the absence of any other human stimuli, but it turns out the internet has probably taught him more than enough.

Summary
Your name is Dave Strider and you're proud to say you've become a rather skilled piano player over time. You have no idea exactly what prompted your lessons from part of your best friend, but these last few months have been filled with them, and while you were frustrated with your lack of skill at the beginning, whatever was left of Strider pride in you urged you not to give up, and you are so very glad you didn't.

Summary
You've been losing yourself in the empty spaces of this house, in the narrow cracks between the doors and the walls, the dark cold spaces lodged inside the concrete of the window sills. People of flesh and bone, of unshimmering skin and infinite potential walk beside you, like giants, and day by day you shrink back to their shadow, to your most immaterial phase, to the ghost you really are.

Summary
Your name is Dave Strider, and there are times where you feel your whole life is flashing before your eyes, painfully slowly, profoundly heartbreaking.
While you lie there alone in the dark, body tightly stretched across the soft mattress and hands and feet handcuffed together, stretching you even more, the blindfold makes you focus inside your own head, and your thoughts and memories merge together, filling up the void and silence.

Summary
Your name is John Egbert, and for the last dozen of weeks, you've been revisiting and rebuilding everything you know about your best friend. Most of this knowledge has been obvious and shown to you over the years, but for some reason or other, you have dismissed or buried it, pushed it to a part of your mind you seldom visited, so you could worry about how uneventful your life was before, and how chaotic your birthday became, how relieved you are to have this break, and hide away from everything else.

Summary
Your name is John Egbert, and sometimes, for no particular whim or reason, sleep eludes you for hours on end. The young man beside you, just as disarrayed as you beneath crumbling layers of indifference, partakes in this sleepless curse as well every time, but for once you wish you wouldn't be in such synch. Dave Strider turns his face to you, all droopy crimson eyes and subtle grimaces, and the recognition that passes through his expression - a mirror of yours - is enough to have you nod and groan softly.

Summary
In the absence of light, darkness creeps in, and smudges the horizon of the limits of space. Without a definite frame of space, time blurs even when you're supposed to be in tune with it, and three years become a hard eternity.
When the meteor crashes into the new session and light floods in again, you think you go blind even behind your shades.
Your name is Dave Strider, and everyone is alright for now. You're all exhausted, and thin and paranoid from the chase, but you're also amidst a group of twenty people, most of them not even human, and hope starts shining through the light.

Summary
Your name is Dave Strider, or at least you hope you still have the right to call yourself that. The people surrounding you seem to acknowledge this, so you guess that's good enough for you.
In the perpetual twilight, hundreds of hours have already passed since Jade put this ship in motion, and you've decided quite a while ago that you're not going anywhere for now. This is comfortable, you feel, as you sit inside the ship, your tail coiled around the two people you missed the most, your orange glow softly washing over their slumbering, serene expressions. Even with no night, you always set a few hours aside to get some shut-eye, and the two of them soon found how easily it is for you to become their pillow.

Summary
Inspired by the beautiful song by Porcupine Tree, Trains. Ever since the distant death of his father, Merlin has been the introvert, big-city boy, burying inside his video-games and puzzles and other loner, nerdy, intellectual activities. But this summer his mother decides to send him away from Ealdor to the beautiful yet dying rural region of Camelot, which Arthur hopes to restore to the glory of his own mother’s time. Somehow the two of them and two more friends end up on a train trip all over the region, which promises to change a lot more than it initially intended to.
