HOMESTUCK FANFICTION REC MASTERPOST

Multi-Chaptered/Multi-Installment

• Unwanted Free Ugly Troll (Complete)

If I could find a higher praise than “Brilliant” I would wax strongly poetic about my love of this fabulous and (in my opinion) only petstuck verse worth engaging with. Set in the Loophole universe and based on an adorable fanart by xadorkablemarinax of a baby Karkat in a box labeled “Unwanted Free Ugly Troll”. The fic begins with the said Karkat being found by Dave and taken in. Major characters in the story are Dave, Dirk, Karkat, Sollux, human!Equius, human!Feferi, Jade, Jake, and Cronus.

• Loophole (Complete)

The origination of the best petstuck universe in all creation. The only petstuck verse worth engaging. My suggestion is to read UFUT first due to much more cute and fluff while Loophole has a lot more dark themes and angst. Depending on if you want your good news or your bad news first, you can choose appropriately.

• Battlefield Terra

Giant robots in space and emphasized alien romance? This JohnKat will enthrall all scifi enthusiasts and make even general audiences very very happy. Robots and mind reading shenanigans ensue. Major pairings are JohnKat and implied pale GamKar.

• Promstuck (Complete)

A riotous illustrated MSPAdventures style JohnKat prom. What else can I say? Oh, there are some great pale KanaKat (what is the ship name for KanayaKarkat) and some pale JohnVris and Vriska causes trouble at prom and it’s all super fun.

• Fun With Dirk and Jane (The “We Solve Mysteries” Series)

Do you like Sherlock or Elementary? Do you like Alpha Kids? Do you like Jane being adorable and very southern? Fun with Dirk and Jane is self dubbed by the author as “Sherlockstuck” where Jane solves mysteries for fun and Dirk moves in because he needs to find a place to stay and sharing with Jane seems like an easy decision. Karkat features as a shouty detective with a psycho palemate and shenanigans ensue. Heavy-handed pale DirkJane (implied red feelings) and pale GamKar with some side servings of red JakeRoxy and pale RoxyCalliope.

• The Serendipity Gospels

This is not for the faint of heart. A colossal angst fest of unimaginable proportions. BUT IT HURTS SO GOOD. An AU where the Sgrub didn’t happen and the trolls went off to grow up and get real troll society jobs and become real members of a rather messed up troll society. Lots of fun with GHB and features primarily Gamzee and Terezi learning their respective roles of Subjuggulator and Legislacerator. Black GamZi, Pale GamKar.

• Jerseystuck (The Series) (Complete)

A weird earthstuck kind of story. The grubs are part of a new program to help sustain Alternians after the loss of their planet so they are adopted out to human families and live in an adjusting society. First three are super fluff adorbs with baby trolls and their families. The major installment is ClerkStuck with red JohnKat and red GamTav and red DaveRezi. The epilogue is shameless fluff/smut.

• Real Men Wear Tights

What is any good fandom without an illustrated superhero!AU? Stated pairing is JohnKat and so far no side pairings. John is a teenage superhero who fights crime at night in the city but lives in the suburbs as a regular student with his dad. Karkat moves into the burbs after a near fatal incident in the city but he was heroically rescued by Heir the crime fighting superhero, our boy John. Identity issues and dangerous plots ensue. And also butt appreciation.

• Of Royal Forge

As a fan of Renaissance Fairs myself, a Renaissance/Medieval!Stuck is just up my alley. This is a Medieval!Stuck JaneDirk of epic Romeo and Juliet proportions without as much death (so far). Jane is the heir of Prospit hidden within Derse as a maid and Dirk is the Heir apparent to the Derse throne. Some political shenanigans ensue and the story has just begun to really heat up. A good read and worth the wait.

One-Shots

• Coffee Black (Complete)

Karkat is a pissy barista and John is a customer who loves to come in to see him, though Karkat doesn’t get it.

• Battlefield Eggbert (Complete)

A fanfiction of a fanfiction. Someone’s oneshot idea that I absolutely adore based off Battlefield Terra. It features primarily Gamzee and John and involves even weirder and much more interesting mind shenanigans. Pairings are implied red JohnKat and pale GamKar.
