TOTAL: 23 320 words.
that's based on three weeks, so quantity-wise it's not bad. better than previously, even. quality-wise it's not bad either, i just wish i could have worked more on homestuck stuff and other fanfics on top of all the ofic.
my grandmother died on monday so i'm not going to hold myself to any standards for not writing in the last week.

Crash Standing, first time dale and dirk meet
They stand in the same room sharing the same air for exactly three seconds before Dale says, urbane and careless, “Sorry, a mosquito flew right at my eyeball like a suicide bomber from insect hell, be right back,” and walks right back out.
Dirk stays behind, a deer in headlights from beginning to end, and what was he expecting, all his cool is gone and all his thoughts are gone; he wants to walk out in the other direction and attempt this again next year maybe, maybe never.
Then Roxy takes his hand and cracks him a little smile, bumps their shoulders together, and then she gets his wrist in a better grasp and tows him right the fuck out after his bro and the guy’s overwhelming, absolutely terrifying outburst of emotion.
the fivesome in SPACE, first time dave and john kiss.
The first time John and Dave make out, John proclaims, the second he’s done considering it, that it is also going to be the latest, because no offense, bro, but it was kind of odd and not that great!
“Nah,” Dave replies, and doesn’t know if he’s disappointed – or at least, if he’s only disappointed. “The zing was gone on vacation to Earth via Alternia and might be back next century maybe, hah, that was a silly idea and I’d better go wash my face before Terezi sniffs it on me oh my god she’ll cackle–”
John cups his cheek and smiles, eyes crinkling, rubs a thumb on Dave’s jaw that brings him to silence. “You know what I’d really like, though? if you went and kissed Jade a lot for me.”
Dave breathes through his nose, unmoving though his heart hammers hard enough he thinks his skin should tremble. “Where you can see, I assume,” he drawls with an approximation of disinterest that falls short by several light years.
“Oh man, yes,” John replies, at the surface sparkling with silliness, but his eyes are warm and hungry and his voice dips deep.
battlefield terra bro and noir, bro gets himself badly injured
“Shit, you’re bleeding like a stuck pig, I told you not to fucking twitch!”
He laugh, the bleached turd, breathless and pained, belly splattered with come and chest streaked red from the side of his neck down to his lowest ribs like his nanites are on vacation.
“If you twitch again while I sew you back up I’m going to stab you in the taint,” Jack says, and feels around for the tiny sewing kit he recently started keeping in his pocket for those times the dick pops every single one of his buttons.
crash standing, that one time bro and dirk went shopping
The day goes like this: Mall and clothes, hardware store and robot parts, restaurant and food.
Only the last one actually more like night club and shitty snacks, and the drink that Dirk filches just so he can dump it down Bro’s pants leg (like he was going to impair his mind and senses more than with what the deafening noise and strobing lights are already doing.)
Bro pretends he believes Dirk is faking being so overloaded they have to leave at ten fucking PM, and looks maybe a little apologetic, and Dirk never wants to see his fucking older-better face again.
Jade and demon!Feferi, first time Jade goes hunting for a one night stand.
Or you could tickle the minnow in the prifishy of your own home, Jade, if mating is going to be that risky–
“Pff!” Jade replied out loud, and grinned a bright challenge at the men who didn’t turn away from it, her heart hammering under her ribs and her face strained from the grin affixed to her face, from the nerves and the anticipation; “If anyone does something I didn’t ask them for then I’m pretty much contractually allowed to feed them to you!”
…oh my cod let’s harpoon a dozen of them in one go.
Knightly Husbands Dave/Karkat fic
“So when are you going back home, again?” Karkat asks bitingly as Terezi worms her way between the two of them on their sleeping pallet with all her cold feet and damp hair for the third evening in a row. “Because consider this: someone who can’t set up a tent right or stop hitting on every unavailable male of any species in the area ought to really fucking stop mooching and wander back home.”
“Consider this instead – it’s in no way arguable in court that this is a sneaky betrayal of your human vows if you both have a black fling with me at the same time!”
“Startin’ to motherlovin’ consider it,” Dave mumbles grouchily to Karkat, right over Terezi’s delighted, rain-streaked face, as she spreads her hair out all around to soak through their lone pillow.
nuée ardente, first time veli realizes he's serious about sorin
He’s so brave and weak and untrained and defiant and he came so far in barely three days only to get himself killed two seconds from escape.
He hits the ground and rolls and doesn’t even leave a streak of blood behind – bad enough burns don’t – and his hair smokes as the lava slowly puddles up toward him.
Veli is at the other end of the field, buried in spider clanks, and he’s going to watch him die before the tender pride unfolding under his ribs can even get anywhere at all.
