askerian, who wanted happykats plz. Paradise reward worlds and game won and also possibly poly things, but mostly happy karkats. ;_;, and who also (a couple months ago) asked for post-game Dave/Karkat/Jade beach fic on Jade's island. This is not quite as fluffy as I was aiming for (I fail at fluff! story of my life!), but it's definitely a happy ending. :-)
I will think up a proper summary later. For now, this is about 4,200 words in a post-game new universe where Earth and Alternia helpfully orbit the same sun; Alternia is roughly where Venus would be and Venus does not exist. Trolls and humans discovered each other around the time they independently invented radio and radio telescopes, and their respective space races were therefore concentrated on finally meeting each other. A tentative peace ensued. The kids and trolls have overlay memories of growing up in this world, though they also remember their original universes and the game. Also, some dead trolls came back to life as a reward for standing against Lord English, but I am being deliberately vague on details.
Okay. So. Story!
[ETA: the somewhat edited final version is now up on AO3!]
( Walk on the Ocean )
And now I am going to go do a bunch of chores and errands. :-)
