KnB Denizen AU #2: Jobs

To dwell with the shadows.

DENIZEN - Kuroko Tetsuya - he thrives in the darkness, which has adapted into his style of misdirection. He becomes able to see past his eyelids after dark, which makes him lose sleep. He gradually becomes darker and emptier, into ‘grayness’. He is emotionless (losing sight and sense) because of that.

RULEKEEPER - Akashi Seijuurou- must be obeyed, will suffer pain if a rule or order is defied in front of him. He becomes drunk with power and obsessed with victory.

All before me shall be devoured.

DREAM EATER - Aomine Daiki - feeds on dreams or will starve, which is why people break when they see his strength. Eventually grows numb to the hunger and becomes depressed, unmotivated, unwilling to pursue anything or social relationships. 

Everything in my path shall crumble to dust.

EXTERMINATOR - Murasakibara Atsushi -  can turn things he touches into dust if he wishes or when angered. Requires abnormal sugar intake to function normally.

I live in the core of an infinite world.

CYBER SURFER - Momoi Satsuki- can submit their consciousness into any electronic device with a USB port, and traverse the cyber world effortlessly. Her real body is rendered unconscious meanwhile.

They say that I will change the lives of those I meet.

PIVOT - Midorima Shintarou- he sets a wager, and sets it on a one-in-twenty dice. It will always come true. He becomes obsessed with lucky items due to the paranoia it causes him. 

Your reflection is my illusion.

DOPPELGANGER - Kise Ryouta- can copy a person’s face, physique, or skills. Cannot copy other abilities. He becomes a splendid actor, and loses his own sense of self.

It begins slow. If their overwhelming talent ground their gears, their Flavor Text run them to pieces.

One at a time.

They play, they get addicted. They get cursed, they adapt.

In which there's a little more to the Generation of Miracles than just talent and effort. Something like a sickness that can't be cured... something that no one would believe if they asked for help.

Something like a game.

KnB Denizen AU

In this story, the GoM play a game, and their character’s Flavor Text come true in real life. This includes a need to retain order, destroying what they touch, and being an eternal dweller of the shadows. 

The only way to get rid of it is to be the last man standing, but they don’t want to do that, so they learn to live with it. They adapt.

Things escalate. Solutions are brought to them on a silver platter.

They don't take it.

So they starve.

Bargaining With Beasts Chapter Four: Gaia

AO3 Fanfiction

Ch.1 Ch.2 Ch.3 Ch.4

Summary: Gaia is so great! Her fashion sense is amazing and she has been invaluable in progressing in your quest. She is just so nice! You're sure you have the best patron, hands down! You just wish you could help her and the other patrons remember more about who they were before they ended up here. Well, even if you have no idea how right now, you're sure you'll find a way to help them remember and a way to free them from their dungeons! You just need more data! 

AN: Wow this is the last chapter, hah i can't believe i took so long to finally finish it, but whatever, there's no crying over spilt milk, better late than never and all that jazz, also hey, heres this cool picture my awesome friend drew me of patron!vriska for my birthday voila!  isnt it cool? she has some other cool homestuck pics on that blog over there you should check out, but anyway, here is the last chapter of this fic, you get to see Kanaya as Gaia, heck yeah, enjoy

At last you're in your land! You shiver, it's so much colder than you thought it'd be. You take in the vast white expanse, this is snow, wow… A smile spreads on your face as you step off your bed, eager to experience the powdery coldness for the first time. As you do however, you see Bec, now a sprite, float in front of you.

He lets out a single bark, and there's a flash of green, and then you're somewhere completely different.

Now you're standing in front of a cave entrance, which you suspect is actually the side of the volcano, seeing as there is lava inside the cave, which Bec clearly wants you to enter. The sides of the entrance themselves are covered in black glossy stone, volcanic rock left from some ancient lava flow, although you don't know how ancient it could have been considering that this was definitely not here back on your island.

"Bec, why did you bring me here?" You ask your sprite, although you already have a clue as to why he could have brought you here, based on what your friends had told you earlier. But he should be able to talk now, and you want to see what he says.

He opens his mouth to answer but all that comes out his horrible screeching noises, and Bec flashes and sparks with the green fire from which he draws his power.

"No! No! Bec that's enough! You don't have to talk please!" God that noise! You covered your ears but even then you couldn't drown out the horrible sound. He stops as soon as you tell him to, and it is with dismay that you realize that you won't be able to talk to him the way Rose gets to talk to Jaspers. Bec looks a little let down at the realization, and you take a deep breath.

"Ok, so you can't talk, that's fine! You're still a good boy!" You smile at him and he lets out a little happy bark, normal, nothing like the screech he let out earlier and he wiggles his sprite body in a way reminiscent of how he used to wag his tail.

You're about to go in for some petting when you hear a beep from your syllabex, someone's been trying to contact you, the previous beeps must have been drowned out by everything that just happened. You get out your lunchtop, oh it's John! He must be worried about you, you did just disappear on him, whoops…

GT: are you ok?

GG: oh don't worry john I'm ok!

GG: i think he wants me to meet my patron!

GT: huh, well that sounds about right, all out sprites were determined to have us meet our patrons as soon as we get in.

GG: yeah i remember!

GT: hopefully you have a better patron than mine.

GT: she's not that bad, but she's kinda creepy…

GT: and she did kinda try to kill me...

GG: well im sure my patron will be better!

GG: because im awesome :p

GT: haha yeah, im sure.

GG: well john as much as id love to keep talking i think i should go

You put away your lunchtop and enter the cave, Bec nudging you forward.

As you step into the cave sweat starts to bead on your brow. The heat is a big contrast from the cold outside and it takes you a second to adjust. But honestly this is just a little better than the cold outside, because at least you're used to the heat.

There are odd crystals sprouting from the wall, blue and shining above streams of lava flowing sluggishly below. You're in a large chamber, at the end there's an entrance that leads to what looks like another room with more lava. You approach it, but again you're interrupted by the notification sound from your syllabex, this time, this time the messenger is Dave.

Having put away your lunchtop you catch up with Bec, who'd floated further into the chamber.

"Ok boy, let's go meet my patron, shall we?"

He barks his assent and the two of you exit the room and enter the room of your patron. Entering the room you're surprised to see the massive entity sitting near the middle of the room.

She's a lot like what your friends described their patrons, being massive, gray skinned, and with horns three different shades of orange. She's wearing a multicolored, translucent cloak, whose hood is pulled up over her head, continuing to drape over her body. Her eyes are on you as soon as you enter the room, ringed with black, she looks exhausted, but doesn't say anything, waiting for you to say something.

You step further into the room, there's a path further into the room and a single island on which your denizen sits, the rest of the floor has consumed by a pool of lava. The island on which she sits is entirely featureless except for a thick pair of columns, rising into the ceiling of the chamber. You can see there's a thick pair of chains binding her to them, you frown, that can't be comfortable.

The two of you spend a minute in silence, studying each other, waiting for the other shoe to drop, maybe she's just trying to gauge your reaction. Either way you're the first to break the silence

"Hey! I'm Jade! You're my patron right?"

Yes

She says quietly, shifting closer to the edge of her island, one of her arms peeking out from behind her cloak and you see fluff on her forearm. Behind her something shifts and you notice a nearly transparent pair of wings behind her. She doesn't say anything else, hesitant and tired

"...What's your name?"

It Is Supposed To Be Gaia, I Believe

"What do you mean?" you ask, the wording was a bit strange

Never Mind That, We are Not Here To Talk About Me

You frown at that, wondering what she could have meant. Was Gaia not her real name? If that wasn't her name then what was it? Why did the game refer to her as Gaia? What does that mean?

Im Here To Help You Complete Your Quests And Beat This Game. My Problems Are Not Relevant, We Should Get Started

You frown, though eager to start your role in this game, you are still wondering what she meant, but you put it out of your mind, you will have to address the issue later, when you've gotten to know your patron a better. Nevertheless, with her help, you're sure you're going to have a great time!

AN: well im done here, however i might end up doing some oneshots for this au later, those will include shipping, in fact if i do its possible a lot of them will be shippy oneshots but idk

I couldn’t sleep, like my mind was too busy trying to take in and understand the update and i got the urge to write a draft for the fourth and last chapter of this little fic i was writing, one about my denizen au, and i hadnt found the motivation to even touch that fic since like june last year or something, i dont know, maybe i wanted to conclude something in a satisfying way, maybe its because in that au the game goes and ends in such a different (and preferable to me) way, although the way they finish sburb in that has nothing to do with the fourth chapter of it, its just jade meeting kanaya, but i wanted to end it, so i finished my first draft for it, it needs some work definitely but i think ill finish it by next wednesday

this is probably the only way this fic could have ended, all the chapters are short and were written while i was sleep deprived and i havent stayed up as late as i stayed up yesterday in a loooong time

[bluhbluhthisbitch]

I don’t know what to do about my denizen au!Karkat, it’s like, do i give him one crab hand or two? And if i do give him two crab hands do i give him the ability to change them back into regular hands at certain times (cause i imagine it’s hard to do things with crab hands) or do i just let him struggle and make him have to ask the kids for help doing shit? Also how would he even fight with crab hands? you can’t hold sickles with crab hands and even if only one hand was a crab hand doesn’t he usually fight with two sickles so he’d have to adjust to fighting with only one sickle still, sighhh design choices for the other three were so much easier except i guess her spidertaur body will make it hard for vriska to get places when it’s time for her to move but ill deal with that when it’s an issue, she could probably just make it bigger if its a door via destroying it i guess
