[id: a black, white, and red pencil drawing of Vriska Serket, as a vampire, appearing human aside from fangs, standing in front of a mirror above a sink, grimacing and aggressively pulling all of her hair to the left side of her head, poised to cut the hair significantly shorter with a pair of red scissors. She appears unhealthily underweight, and is scarred on the right side of her face and across her forearm. The scars are the same color red as the scissors. The drawing is from the perspective of her looking into the mirror.]
She didn't have the keys to Dave's apartment, but she was a fucking vampire. Locks were for mortals. Hell, so were doors, stairs, and anything else.
In two breaths she was launching herself upwards, hands extended like claws, cloak fluttering behind her. She barely touched down against the wall of the building before she was moving again, shoving off and up with her feet, yanking herself upward with her hands, grasping a windowsill of the first floor above the lobby. Below, she could hear shouts of surprise, her name being called, but she ignored it. She couldn't talk about this. She just couldn't. She focused on the wind whistling past, on the flow of momentum with each leap, the empty air and the exhilarating danger that came with it as she launched herself towards her next foothold. She paid no mind to the startled faces of the occupants whose windows she was scaling, keeping her attention on how far upward each leap could bring her, on how many more windows stood between her and her destination.
In no time at all, she was perched on Dave's bedroom window, slowly wiggling it upward enough for her to slip inside. He'd fed the birds this morning and forgotten to lock it, which was lucky for her. The magical protections that sealed the window shut had something to do with the lock, she wasn't really sure what but she'd already figured out that she couldn't unlock the window herself, Dave had to physically do it.
Once inside his room, she took off the sun cloak, shoving it in the drawer next to the rain cloak Kanaya had given her on that first day. She sighed, kicking off her shoes and running her fingers through her hair. She needed action. She shouldn't just wait around for them to come up here and keep asking questions.
She rooted around in Dave's desk until she found a pair of scissors, then grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom. Might as well do something about her hair.
What is Vriska running from? Why is she breaking into Dave's apartment? Check out our fic!

Now that I have your attention, hey! This past month, our discord server had a fanfic gift exchange/competition! The fics can be found at https://archiveofourown.org/collections/HS_FA_Co_Writing_Competition_02_2024/works
Any reader can vote on the best in genre here!
There were 9 entries, running the gamut from classic Davekat to The Condesce finding Diamonds :0!!!
Our members submitted prompts they wanted to see fulfilled, and then wrote other members' prompts that they were randomly assigned. Members of the coalition can guess who wrote which fic before it's all revealed at the end!
Summary of the works below!
Bubble Glub and Flub: Jake, seeking a new experience in meeting with a sea-dwelling alien in the afterlife, attempts not to shove his foot too far down his own ignorance shaft.
Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friends: Vriska sure has been 'hands on' with Rose's alcoholism recovery. It almost feels. Like she's paling at her. >:[
Karkat: Celebrate Troll Valentine's Day: You utterly fail to come up with a summary that would not be completely redundant in the face of the title's clear call to action. You are Karkat Vantas, and you are going to celebrate Troll Valentine's Day. At least, that's what you've just been told to do.
Kintsugi: The Rose-Tinted Quadrant: Rose has accepted Vriska's help with her disordered alcohol usage. Vriska intends to help her as much as she possibly can. And if that means butting into Kanaya's newly blooming relationship, well, it can't be helped. The universe is at stake!
Monte Cristo; Croque Monsieur: Shortly before the events of Homestuck^2, Sollux receives an invitation to a lunch date with Karkat. A ceasefire has been called for a single day, for some reason this day is important to Jane. The only problem is that Sollux and Karkat haven't spoken more than ten words to each other for nearly thirty years.
someglubby put me outta my fishery:
CC: stop glubbin to me -- colloquialCondescension [CC] blocked tonicandGin [TG] -- -- tonicandGin [TG] unblocked colloquialCondescension [CC] -- CC: W)(AT TG: u aint geftin rid a me TAHT eeasiely TG: WONK
the things you think you see in me: “I really can’t tell if you’re fucking with me right now,” you’d said. “But the point is, Rose already told me that she and Kanaya have some super special girls-only Valentine’s plan lined up and I’m sure TZ and Vriska are gonna be busy cuddling in a closet or whatever the fuck they do when they’re not around and we already spend all our time together and like, make out, or whatever, so pardon the fuck out of me if I thought it might be fun to do something that’s like a real date. Or whatever.”
Wearing The Pants: wishlist prompt: Vriska x John, "Wearing the pants" takes place on earth c. not epilogues compliant.
"will u b my valentine" 7x combob: Roxy tries to have a normal Valentine's Day. It's a pity that nothing about her is normal.
Thank you to the authors for participating! @arealpeople @madam-melon-meow @shadow-wasser @myusernameisstolen @askaniritual @wmb-salticidae @meowloudly15

POV: You are on a coffee date with Dave
Tumblr media
Eridan cleared his throat.
"Hella Jeff?" 
"Uhuh," Dave glanced up, then back down at his phone. "Sweet Bro, too. Here." He turned his phone around and held it out to Eridan.
On Dave's phone was a an extremely grotesque and crudely drawn comic, in which two characters, which Eridan could only assume was "Sweet Bro" and "Hella Jeff" engaged in the Charlie Brown football gag, complete with the entire Peanuts strip hyper-compressed in the middle of it, terminating with the red-clad man being minced by helicopter blades. Eridan nodded slowly, parsing it.
"I get it." Eridan said, after taking another moment to think.
"You do?" Dave asked, sounding genuinely surprised.
---
"What are they talking about, now?" Kanaya whispered to Vriska, watching from across the coffeeshop.
Kanaya and Vriska spying on an EriDave date? Curious? Check out our monsterstuck fic!

Happy 4/13! Eridan and Dave go on a date! What could possibly go wrong?
In other news, John is totally oblivious to his best bro’s love life, because he’s learning magic!
Also, meowrails, because why not?
