Here’s a summary of the plot beats for my AU version of the Epilogue’s Candy!Earth C - all events take place sometime after Dirk is dead.
Dave is down on his luck after candy!Jane went all space hitler and Karkat noped out to lead the resistance against candy!Jane, but then he ends up talking the man with an ass that could swing elections, Jake English.
Dave can’t resist the allure of Harley/English/Crocker/Egbert (harleybert?). They’re all too damn hot. He’d awkwardly try (and fail) to hit up John if John weren’t, at this point in time, in a thing with Roxy.
(In this AU Dave ends it with Jade after he finds out about Yiffy. And rather than becoming Davebot and disappearing with Aradia, he is too hypnotised by Jake’s ass.)
Jake is also sad because his wife is evil and she lets Gamzee near their son. Anyway, these two sad bois end up sharing sad boi tears and become a yaoi ship, sneaking around under the nose of candy!Jane.
And then later later when all the beyond canon stuff happens, and Jake runs away with Tavvy to live at John’s, Dave comes along too. And it creates tension because of Dave’s previous interest in John. Yes, I have brought drama to the yaoi ship! Yaoi love triangle!
Shit happens and this leads to John accidentally kissing Dave, and Jake becomes a sadboi again.
Later a drunk and sad Jake will go to lament in the arms of the only friend he can talk to, Roxy (I guess he could talk to jade too, but I need my RoxyJake). And Roxy, unable to resist that Harelybert charm, and Jake’s pathetic sad boi face, ends up falling for him. And then we get RoxyJake. And Caliborn’s shitty art requests for Dirk that Jake and Roxy would have a baby ends up being true.
Dave, distraught about how he fucked up with Jake, decides to finish his Davebot quest and is compelled to use his time powers to go back to when Aradia left Candy!Earth and leave with her. And Jade finds his body and taxidermies it like in the original Candy timeline. However she has been confused why Dave and a dead Dave existed simultaneously.
So the way this all deviates from and back to the events of Candy in beyond canon, is Dave takes a circuitous time travel enhanced route to become Davebot, and JakeRoxy ends up being a thing, and Tavvy and Harry Anderson end up sharing a baby half sister and they also become stepbrothers.
[S]8r8k still happens, and the Omega kids disappear with Vriska.
I’m deciding whether to have the JakeRoxy baby end up falling into the PLOT POINT too, and just appearing with Vriska for [S]8r8k, dressed as a mini Vriska and being not a baby so she can also disappear with Vriska and the Omega kids.
And, sorry about making a yaoi ship only to destroy it. My ultimate goal with this AU was RoxyJake. Everyone else was allowed to be collateral damage. Btw John is so stupid for divorcing Roxy, she’s literally the best
OK THIS IS A VERY LONG REQUEST OMGG
