#davetz

I'mma do straight up DaveTz but as a blanket disclaimer they can smooch whomever they want to, I feel pretty great about most combinations going on in this ask. 

who shops for groceries

They go together and try and find the weirdest food to try, and pay lip service to nutrition on the way.

kills the spiders

Terezi, because Dave screams until she does. 

comes home drunk at 3am

Both of them and they sit giggling on the front step and complaining about the weather/temperature until they sober up or fall asleep. 

makes breakfast

Dave tries, he really does, but they don't really keep breakfast food that well so he surprises her with doritos dabbed with dip arranged like a smiley face. 

remembers to feed the fish

Dave loves the fish but sometimes forgets and Terezi watches the tank assiduously while putting in yet another decorative plastic castle. There is probably like a shrimp in it that they bought to eat but Dave felt really upset about, so they left it in there and it somehow thrived?

decorates the apartment

This apartment is beginning to look like a homage too Re-Animator with all the neon and dead stuff in it, but they're happy and that's what counts. There are still too many dead things in glass bottles but Terezi has given them all happy faces by drawing with a chalkboard pen on the outside of the glass. 

initiates duets

Dave thinks it is way important to sing together but he has missed out on the fact that he can't sing very well and that Terezi will just make up words if she doesn't know the songs, so it devolves into beatboxing with Terezi chirping along to make a tune full of nonsense.

falls asleep first

Dave, Terezi, Roxy, Kanaya, Jade and Sollux drive 2500 miles from New York to New Mexico in a car beat to shit and filled with skittles. Along the way, Kanaya saves her girlfriend, Roxy makes some friends, Sollux escapes to better company, and Jade dreams of physics.

Dave and Terezi possibly break up. Or maybe they already did. Or maybe they never will.

It's up to interpretation.

Rated T for Teen, chapter 1 of 3, this is it. This is the Dave/Terezi roadtrip fic. This is what I've been writing since August, picking at since November, and generally thinking about since god knows how fucking long.

I actually cannot promise I will ever write another homestuck fic after this, but I can promise I'll finish this one.

Dave, roused from his interstate torpor, shifted towards her, eyes still on the road. “You eat?” he asked, “Do you eat? Like, real food? I thought you just subsumed, or, like, did that whale thing with the hairbrush teeth and the krill, except particles of red dead malevolence instead of krill.”

“I could eat you,” Terezi countered, all other passengers suddenly forgotten, “should a court of law deem it necessary. It would be a tragedy, but I think the jury would provide both sympathy and napkins.”

“No, no, no, cannibalism isn’t eating, that’s just like your religion. Quiver in debatably orgasmic ecstasy all you want but I know that’s not how you’re providing thine fine self with the troll building blocks of troll life. Cannibalism is your palate cleanser if anything, just look at that maitre’d swanning over with that poncy napkin thing over his arm—“

redraw full view

It's not really like other kinds of ships. The love they share isn't the common uncommon love that most ships pride themselves in being, the kind of mutual reverence between each party.

Their love isn't grand or grandiose and it doesn't drown in endless AMVs set to Florence + the Machine's "Cosmic Love." Their love isn't commanding or thundering or full of electric shocks cloud-to-ground, cloud-to-ground.

Nothing is ever serious and everything is just chuckles and giggles and laughter, even when they're vigilante cops putting that same laughter into slaughter.

Because it's madness and they can make each other laugh, for real, out loud, to no one. They get each other and they get each other's sense of humor, and really, what more could you ask for in a heart next to yours?

so what if i suddenly daverezi'd huh

what then
