[Fic] "Work in Progress" -- Homestuck

It is Ladystuck reveal day! I wrote three fics this year: my assignment, a pinch hit, and a treat. I will discuss each in a separate post.

-----

Work in Progress: It's hard being a graduate student, trying to write a thesis, create a revolutionary computer program, or prove the existence of dragons while living in a shitty apartment with your two girlfriends. It's hard, but at least your girlfriends understand. Porrim/Roxy/Latula. (1,275 words)

-----

This is a treat, written for [archiveofourown.org profile] scrunch in response to the prompt: Roxy/Latula/Porrim is my dark horse OT3, and so I'm semi-recycling a prompt I made from last year: wherein Roxy, Latula and Porrim live in a crappy apartment together and deal with the pros and cons of being in a polyamorous relationship. You can bring in as few or as many other characters as you wish (Kankri, for example, would probably be a hilariously offended fourth-wheel roommate) or include side-pairings -- as long as they don't upstage the main romance. Can be humanstuck or can be one of my favourite tropes, in which the trolls co-exist with humans on Earth with no explanation provided; either way, have fun with it!

I did have fun with it. *grin* I don't have all that much to say about this story, mostly because it was written very quickly without a lot of deep thought. I decided to run with the mixed troll-and-human society, had Roxy barge in the door of the shared apartment ranting about IT work, and discovered the rest of the setting as I typed. (I went back and fixed a few things once I'd reached the ending, of course, but even so.) I'm not sure how all three women met, nor what their families and friends think of their relationship, but I would not be at all averse to revisiting this trio and finding out.
