It’s still Saturday in my timezone, so I’m technically not late!
Anyway, today’s fic recommendation is for Homestuck. Considering that it’s the fandom I built this channel on, it’s not much of a shock.
Side note. If anyone wants to do a video debating DaveKat, hit me up. My stance is that it’s a wonderful, loving relationship and pretty much perfect. I will fight and die for them. But, moving on…
Today’s fic has, unfortunately, been discontinued. It’s called, “Don’t Forget the Sun,” by Weevilo707 on ArchiveOfOurOwn. And since it’s on AO3, it comes with fanart. Drawings in every chapter, last I checked!
Where do I start? It’s been a while since I reread it to be honest. I know that it will never be finished, but I cannot overstate how much I adore this fic. I love the author’s world-building and characterizations and the different writing styles with the various chapters.
The main ship of this fic is Dave and Karkat. I think that they sort of hint at Bro fucking John’s cousin (Jake, obviously), but it’s so mild that I don’t really think it matters. If you’re a fan of slow burns, you’ll love this one. I’m a huge fan of cultural miscommunications and language barriers, and boy, is there plenty of it in this fic. Reading the shenanigans that result solely from the species barrier between trolls and humans is such a delight.
I’ve read a lot of DaveKat fics in my time, and honestly, this is one of, if not the, best ones I’ve ever gotten my hands on. I even have it downloaded on my phone, so I can reread my favorite parts when I find myself without internet and in need of some entertainment. It’s funny and charming, but also surprisingly down-to-earth for a story about an alien who’s friends sent him off-world so that he wouldn’t be killed for having the wrong blood color.
I can remember finding this fic almost three years ago, and I’m still not over it. I don’t care that it’s discontinued, honestly. If you like DaveKat, you’ll love this work of art.
