Summary
"You cling to Goatdad’s fur and squeeze your eyes shut, trying to pretend that you didn’t leave dry land behind quite some time ago. Your name is Karkat Vantas, and you are currently travelling to an island a few miles offshore to visit your sea-dweller friend that nobody has heard from in over a week."
In a world where Sgrub never happened, seven-sweep-old Karkat is left to pick up the pieces of Feferi and Eridan's disaster of a break-up. Some cute, sad, angsty fluff, because I have a horrible addiction to making Eridan cry and Karkat is always the one to deal with it. Rated T for canon-typical swearing.
My first submission and a prelude to a much bigger fic that I'm working on. Enjoy ~

Summary
2026 update. Gamers. The rewrite has begun. I want to get a few chapters ahead, but chapter one is done and just having a few tweaks!
REWRITE: Alone Together (Troubled Souls) 2026 edition
I will leave this here for prosperity, because I still appreciate all the work that 2016 me put into it, and I thank every single one of you for reading.
"Due to a very boring twist of fate called Sollux Captor's laziness, Sgrub never happened, leaving the beta Trolls to continue their lives on Alternia unawares of what could have been. We begin our journey with Karkat Vantas, as he prepares to enter the Imperial City, lie to the drones about his blood colour, turn nine sweeps old, join the Threshecutioner academy, spend more time with his friends than he ever thought he would, fill a quadrant he didn't know he needed, and absolutely, positively, NOT have a mental breakdown of any kind. Oh and there's also the small matter of helping the Heiress overthrow the scariest fish this side of the Galaxy. Gods help him."
Spin-off fics are listed in the end notes with links.

Summary
Karkat has a ship, a free schedule, and a favour owed to one Terezi Pyrope. He also happens to delight in scaring the shit out of younger Trolls and Eridan is quite happy to enjoy the show.
May or may not be a scenario created for the express reason to have the line "Try fucking a sea-dweller on the beach in a dark season's winter, then talk to me about being cold." coming out of Karkat Vantas' mouth.

Summary
There are no aliens and there is no game. There is no man behind the curtain. There is no demon waiting for the death of the universe. There never was. There never will be. At least, not in this version of their universe...
Follow reluctant protagonist Karkat Vantas and the other unfortunate souls he finds himself entangled with, as they attempt to carve out their place in the world and keep it without dying a painful - or worse, embarrassing - death.
Contains friendships, grudges, romance, violence, stomach-churning displays of affection, and above all, giving a big fat middle fucking finger to the whims of fate and the universe as a whole.
