equilibrium, rearranged by auxanges

my fate is worse than death (its falling for you) by apocalypticTaco
Sollux, Karkat
Summary: Everything looks as it should be. Honeycombs lining the walls, bees flitting to and fro from their egotistical abode.

But on the corner of the table, there's a shining streak of blood that reminds you how much you don't belong in this world.
