Summary
He turned to face Blitz, finding a knowing expression on his face. Things slotted into place as he connected the dots of Blitz's behavior. “We've had this conversation before,” He said, voice small and unconfident. “Haven't we?”
He saw Blitz bite his lip anxiously. “Yup,” Blitz said. “It's been a while since you forgot this much though.”
And well, isn't that such a horrible statement to chew on.

Summary
Stolas couldn't remember if he'd ever not been in pain.
The dull ache of existence was his oldest friend. The way his muscles cried and his bones felt sharp was the backdrop of every wispy memory, a constant he could rely on.
Not that he knew he was in pain. Normalcy is a funny thing. Pain was the name given to the temporary ailments of his life, the stubbed toes and sharp slaps. The all consuming ache was never named- it didn't need to be. One would sooner describe breathing as work. So the young prince went about his life with the unchallenged assumption that everyone dealt with the ache, and he was simply weak for sometimes letting it get to him.
Stolas chronic pain fic!

Summary
Octavia should have known the screaming wouldn't stay gone forever.
When her dad was first banished, her mother spent a few weeks in pure bliss, gossiping and laughing. After a while, the anger returned, but Octavia could avoid it easily enough, putting on her headphones while her mother complained to some fellow royal on the phone. The lack of screaming weighed on her mind. As it stretched on for over a month, Octavia slowly hardened in resolve- her dad had truly been the problem. Sure, her mother wasn't pleasant, but the house was calmer. (And colder. So much colder).
Set after Sinsmas as Octavia slowly uncovers her mother's true nature and comes to undestand what her dad could never find the words to explain.

Summary
Dave can definitely survive three years on this rock with no one but his sister and a pack of aliens. Even if those aliens don't have Alphas and Omegas and don't smell like anything at all. It's cool. Dave's cool. He can do this. It's only three years. He's sure he can get through a few heats alone.
There might just be one little snag with that - y'see, he's still bonded to a dead man.

Dave thinks Karkat is insane, but what would he know? After all, he's the one who's forced to see a shrink.
(Don't get intimidated by the number of chapters, they are pretty short!)
[This is a completed story. It's told entirely through pesterlogs, so any action happens offscreen. For this reason, I'm choosing to maintain the "Teen and Up" rating. If you are a younger teenager, you may find some of the subject matter upsetting or disturbing. Please proceed with caution. If something makes you uncomfortable, feel free to skip to a happier chapter or stop reading entirely. Trigger warnings will be included at the beginning of individual chapters to help you make informed decisions.]
