FILL: TEAM KARKAT<>SOLLUX
six Karkats and two Daves!
Rec 1:DEAR FUTURE ME...
Team:Bro<3Granpa
Creator:gjarble
Why I’m recommending it: The prompt was Last Man on Earth + Existentialist Fiction, Karkat<3Karkat. It has a well thought out set up and manages to be really sad and still kind of hilarious. Karkat stays very in character and believable, with a mixture of paranoia, self-loathing and determination. The cherry on top is a wonderful atmospheric illustration in the style of Salad Fingers!
Rec 2: CURRENT carcinoGeneticist [CCG] RIGHT NOW opened memo on board ALSKDFASKJDHFLAKJSDHFLAKJSHDF...
Team: EQUIUS<3ERIDAN
Creator: messageredacted
Why I’m recommending it: Prompt: Karkat <> Karkat, Hurt/comfort + horror.
It's similar in premise to my first rec, but trust me, read both. They still manage to be very different. Rec 2 is set on the meteor and has a short, but suspenseful plot. The described situation did haunt me for quite some time afterwards! And the way Karkat manages to care for and comfort himself is really touching!
Rec 3: You get his letters infrequently...
Team: KANAYA<3VRISKA
Creator: memyselfandi
Why I’m recommending it: Karkat<3dreamself!Karkat This one has the very interesting twist that the relationship is between Karkat and a Karkat who grew up on Prospit. The described differences really piqued my curiosity! It's not as neatly written as the other two, but it's nevertheless enjoyable and creates a good melanchonic atmosphere.
Rec 4: YEEHAW
Team: Dave<3Dave
Creator: round 2 team entry
Why I’m recommending it:This one is totally hilarious and the epitome of why one should ship Dave and Dave, namely because Dave. It doesn't take itself too serious and also showed the bizarreness of the situation, which I liked. It's very competently written, with wonderful and fitting Dave dialogues!
