Dirk and Jake on a sofa together. Dirk is leaning into Jake's chest, his head resting on his shoulder as he looks up at him. Jake looks ahead, his arm wrapped around Dirk's shoulder.

Dirk and Jake have always been... close on Earth C. But when your 18th birthday comes around, everybody knows that humans are able to transfer ink from their hand to their soulmate’s hand. When Dirk wakes up with dark-green ink on his hand, he knows what is happening, and he knows – above all else – that he has to hide it. Rating: T Word count: 8k Complete

A giant ethereal, gold eye with wings. Dirk is cast in its light. He's nude and reaches towards it with his arm outstretched. The image is repeated as a border in threes both above and below the image, cropped and flipped.

Dirk Strider, ascended to his Ultimate Self, has nearly shirked himself of all his humanity. Before he can fully call himself God, he needs to lose the last thing holding him to Earth C. He needs to Kill Jake English. This plan is not going to work. Rating: E Word count: 10k Complete

Lil Seb, the robot bunny. One of Dirk's hands, with black nail polish and a fingerless glove, holds one side. One of Jake's hands holds the other.

Dirk is contacted by a mysterious online stranger about a robotics project. He decides it’s worth his time to help out after a long stint of depression triggered by his messy break up with Jake. Secretly Jake is behind the messages, telling himself he is only doing this for the project he needs help on. Both wish they weren’t such messes and miss one another, leading to some stalkerish behavior from Jake. Or Dirk and Jake yearning crazy style. Rating: M Word Count: 3k Ongoing

Dirk and Jake from Homestuck. They are both lying down head to head and the image is split across the middle where their heads meet, where Jake is in the water and Dirk is on a field. Dirk is in speedos and a varsity jacket. Jake is in a football jersey and is holding an American football.

Dirk is a swimmer and Jake is a football player who are paired for an athletic spirit exchange at Cantown University. As they spend more time together to support each other in their pursuit of athletic excellence, they learn they have more in common than they had originally thought. Rating: T Word count: 5k Ongoing

Dirk and Jake. Dirk is resting his head on Jake's shoulder in the dark, looking up at him sadly. Jake is asleep. He has a mustache.

Jake is the friendly local eccentric, always willing to lend a hand, always impractically dapper while he tends his sprawling rose garden. When he meets Dirk, who hasn’t seen the sun in a week and hasn’t smiled in far longer, of course he takes him in— and if his handsome, though scruffy, new housemate makes his heart sort of flutter sometimes, well, who could blame him? But all is not what it seems— least of all Dirk, who slowly discovers the truth about their neighborhood, and about himself.

Dirk and Jake throughout the ages. They run to each other and embrace. They're wearing fantasy outfits. The background is trees and there is a red string of fate connecting them.

If you were to ask Jake English he'd say he lives a normal, if hectic, life after his grandmothers death; though it isn't too long before that normalcy is thrown to the wayside when he meets a mysterious boy in the forest. Growing up alongside this new stranger is like a breath of fresh air and brings a sense of adventure to Jake's life, but what happens when he finds out all he's done is follow the path set out for him long before he was born? Are any of these feelings his own or just a predestined checkpoint in an ongoing cycle? or: a red string of fate story as told by someone who doesn't particularity like being told what to do Rating: M Word count: 8k Ongoing

Jake English is in the foreground, slightly looking behind him. Dirk is in the background, looking over his shoulder at Jake. He is wearing a long scarf. They are in a forest.

Jake English is more than ready for a fresh start. He’s ready to settle into a life of his own, where he can garden and practice his magic in peace. But just as he’s starting to get settled into the rhythm of his new home, he comes across a strange man in the woods who somehow already knows his name and his habits. Curious more than anything, Jake promises himself to unravel what’s going on, and who this Dirk really is. Rating: T Word count: 5k Ongoing

Dirk Strider from Homestuck. He is in his Ultimate form and is holding a dagger, grimacing. He is surrounded by various princess Jakes around him, some benevolent and some menacing.

In order to kill two birds with one stone, Dirk has locked himself and Jake inside a meta-narrative construct so he can achieve two goals: killing his ex and ensuring that his story can continue without end for eternity. The problem is that he must rely on himself to follow that path in the woods and slay his ex- without deviating from his plans. He has no idea that this is a love story.

Dirk and Jake from Homestuck, pre-sburb. Jake is crying on his bed. Dirk is sitting beside him but he is separated by a blue force field.

SUMMARY: On an island surrounded by monsters and a computer as his only connection to the outside world, Jake feels utterly isolated and alone. It was nothing like how he felt being an action hero would be like; however, his life takes an interesting turn when an anomaly appears in his bedroom. It is a ripple in spacetime that shows the bedroom of someone else from another timeline far, far into the future. Here, two dimensions temporarily converge, and Jake meets someone who makes him want to be braver. FIC STATUS: Complete WORD COUNT RANGE: 12~k Rating: M
