Summary
Your name is Karkat Vantas.
You are the proud owner of a small but quaint local children’s bookstore called Bookbound, which you have run your entire life. But across and down the street, threatening to put you out of business for good, is the construction site for another installment in a chain of super bookstores owned by the enigmatic Strider brothers and co. You are adamantly convinced you hate the people behind the Strider’s Puppets and Pages bookstore, whoever these assholes are.
Your name is carcinoGeneticist, and you have a mysterious internet penpal, who you have spoken with everyday since you met him in a chatroom almost two weeks ago. He goes by turntechGodhead, and despite not knowing his name or face, you can’t help but eagerly look forward to talking to him. The two of you share rules: no personal information, no business talk, no names. But you think the anonymity adds a certain charm to it all. Sure, you don’t know who he is, but you know he’s funny and charming, and incredibly kind. You’re convinced you’re in love with him, whoever he is.
And then one day he suggests the two of you should finally meet.

Summary
“I know this is like, super fucking weird,” he says with a small southern accent, adjusting a bag over his shoulder. “Letting a dude you’ve never met before into your house and all. I swear I’m not like… the fucking Zodiac Killer or anythin’ like that.”
“I don’t really care,” you say honestly, overly tired. “Even if you are a murderer as long as you clean up all the blood you’re good in my book.”
Dave breathes out a small laugh, exhaling once through his nose. “The bar is too low, dude.”

Summary
“I… love you too.”
Chongyun’s heart skipped a beat.
He heard it. Xingqiu’s response, those words, spun from sweet honey and so achingly warm that it burned.
The realization that something was indeed very different about this situation cut through him like a hot knife.
His throat ran dry as something suddenly resurfaced in his mind at the worst moment.
“Honestly, I really thought you two had a thing at first. You guys are so touchy.”
Oh.
____
