Summary
In an AU in which the Sburb shenanigans never happened, and the beta kids all live in the same neighborhood, Dave finds himself spending more time at friends's houses than his own. In particular, at John's house.
Naturally, he ends up talking to John's dad quite a bit, and he starts exclusively referring to him as John's Dad, even to his face.
Basically this is a fluffy fic where Dave borderline lives with John, and also accidentally gains a father figure along the way.

Summary
Three years ago, on John Egbert's birthday, the world ended. Three years ago, Jade Harley and Vriska Serket vanished alongside billions of others. Three years ago, the apocalypse arrived, transforming everything and revealing much that was hidden to those who remained.
Three years ago, the meteors (mostly!) missed Houston, and that's where John's headed today. In Houston, Rose Lalonde searches for washed-up traces of magic, warily overseen by Kanaya and her old friend Dave. In Texas, the newly dubbed "alternatives" maintain a newfound alliance with the humans they saved--and a wary truce with the Hunter forces that once kept all these creatures of fable and fairytale a secret from the world of man.
And here, in Houston, the world is about to change once again.
An urban fantasy monsterstuck AU featuring the beta kids, beta trolls, and their guardians.
An ongoing podfic.

Summary
The game was never really meant to be won. It's output, the universe John could never really call home, is cursed. So when John and Calliope are faced with two, equally bad options, they decide to go for a third.
What if instead of destroying Lord English, they made sure he never existed in the first place? Maybe it really was possible to fix everything. To truly have a happy ending.
So John (now with Aradia by his side), reluctantly prepares for another retcon. And, unbeknownst to everyone but her, Calliope calls in a favor. For a fleeting moment, a perfect future is within their grasp.
However, when faced with "canon" once again, they find out the hard way that it could never be that easy. Every win comes with a brutal sacrifice, by the time they realize, it's too late. Not wanting to doom the timeline they created, their only hope is that, perhaps, the path to heaven goes through hell first.

Summary
John and Nepeta grew up together, same town, same school. Middle school brought changes that caused a dumb nerd to study and worry about a normally happy girl. High school brings up traumatic events that was said to be in the past. An unlikely friendship occurs and with it angst. Qhy was he drawn to the basement? He had no idea what was in store.
2023 edit:
(The first several chapters are cringy, I've updated them as much as I could without requiring readers to go back and read it all again. It's been 6 years since I started this fic and I'm back to try to finish it! Please dont judge 18y/o me's garbage writing too harshly, I'm pretty sure I've improved lol.)
