Summary
The only thing standing between Dave, Aradia, and Jake and their masters is their mandatory fieldwork. When Aradia has the brilliant idea to find the Temple of the Signless, it seems like an low-effort way to get those fancy initials slapped onto the end of their names.
One tripwire of a prophecy later, and the Signless returns. Which doesn't look great for their easy final project. In fact, things only get more complicated from there.

Summary
Dirk left his siblings behind and moved upriver for the work. As a jeweler, he'd have a better chance to sell his creations in the annoyingly ritzy river bazaar, and he needed the coin.
The last thing he expects is to earn the attention of a handsome bookbinder, but Dirk has no problem with a ill-advised one night stand.
He's less prepared for the consequences of sleeping with a tradesman.

Summary
In which NCR Ranger Karkat Vantas meets a pair of sibling con-artists in the Mojave Wasteland. Good men are in short supply this far east.
(A purely self-indulgent Fallout AU I have been thinking about for literally months. I wrote this for me but you can read it too if you'd like.)

Summary
It takes a village to help Karkat Vantas, the troll least suitable to being a rainbow drinker, acquire one (1) thrall to feed from. Problem is, Karkat doesn't really like anyone enough to enthrall them.
Totally unrelated to that in every way, Karkat is saddled with a truly embarrassing crush on his next door neighbor, the working musician that Karkat spends most of his nights listening to through their shared wall.

Summary
Your eyes land on a vaguely familiar face, hunched over a pile of books that, even from a distance, still read as trashy harlequin romance novels. The two of you don’t share any classes, but you’re pretty sure you recognize him as the dude who regularly gets into shouting matches with the professors. You’ve heard him in the hallways on more than one occasion. He’s got a short fuse, and that’s exactly what you need.
That table is as good as yours.
(Or, Dave tries to annoy Karkat out of a table at the library and ends up scoring a date.)

Summary
If director Dave Strider opens a restaurant, food critic Karkat Vantas is inevitably going to eat there.
(a sort of ridiculous, sort of serious story about two lonely people who find each other through food)

Summary
The end of the world is bad enough on its own. But when you've been barely treading water for as long as you can remember, when your whole ass life has seemed to take place through a pane of frosted glass, when you've just fucked up the only damn thing that ever seemed good or real in your entire existence, then... well. End of the world might just make a guy think it's time to take a plunge and let oblivion do its worst. Gotta be better than this, right?
Unless the most unexpected person imaginable catches you before you hit the ground.
Hi, I'm Dave and this is the story of how I found hope in the wilderness because a cosmic semisentience took pity on me or I guess had plans for me or something. Unclear at this point. anyway here's wonderwall.
