runespoor, in response to the prompt: Homestuck/Naruto fusion: it's not Sburb/Sgrub, it's the trolls-and-kids' chuunin exam. (link to prompt and discussion)
So, background! I have decided that the trolls and the kids live in the Land of Space (Uchuu no Kuni), which lies west of the Land of Wind, across the great desert. Their ninja village is Hidden Time (...Kouingakure no Sato, maybe? I'm less sure of that one -- if you know the best translation of 'time' in this context, please tell me!). Until very recently, their country was largely isolated from the other elemental countries, both because of troll/human tensions and because the Land of Space was engaged in a generations-long campaign to invade and settle the lands across the western ocean. Which is where the human population of the country comes from; descendents of slaves and prisoners of war. (This is my handwave so I can keep using their standard American English names, because I am lazy like a lazy thing. Please try not to think too hard about whether the trolls speak Japanese, English, or a third language altogether.)
Anyway! About three years ago, there was a revolution. The Condesce, who was the Lady of Space, was overthrown, along with the old Uchuukage and several of their most prominent supporters. They escaped and are currently at large. The Land of Space is still unsettled from the aftershocks of that change, but the new leaders are doing their best to wind down the war in the west without abandoning their people who have lived on the western continent for generations now, and also to reach out a hand of peace to the elemental countries in the east. The elemental countries, having just finished dealing with their own troubles (Madara et al), are tentative about this, but have extended an invitation for Hidden Time to send participants to the upcoming chuunin exam in Konoha.
Vriska Serket is very interested in whether her country's new leaders will accept, and ropes her teammates into helping her spy on their meeting. (2,400 words)

---------------------------------------------
I have THOUGHTS about the other four teams (respectively, Dave-Terezi-Karkat; Kanaya-Nepeta-Equius; Jade-Feferi-Aradia; and Rose-Eridan-Sollux), and a vague idea for an overarching plot, but I cannot promise I will ever write more than this fic in this AU. Sorry about that.
(I will try, though!)
