Revelations Cycle Ninth Iteration: The Sea Without Shore

[half_life_wolf]

I got a comment once to the effect of "why do you never use Eridan in any of your plots and why do you treat him like such an asshole when you do", which I thought was a fair point because Eridan, who is Eridan, I know not of whom you speak.

What I'm saying here is that I hope future plot developments make you happy, Eridan-loving anon, if you are

I am not going to lie, I nearly screamed when I got the notif for this lakjsdljf /started tracking the RC tag recently h-haha

oh god I don't even know what to say about this chapter except that I love it and I love you and this whole thing ahhhhhhh. ♥ kyaaaaaa a glimpse of Eridan and b-bawwww Teri and Karl being sad without their fairy god trolls and aldksjlf Dave's self-conversation is so beautiful lmfao. I HAVE NOTHING USEFUL TO SAY ABOUT THIS but now I will sit and wait patiently for the next chapter. :> /folds hands in lap.

Hehehe thank you! You don't need to have anything useful to say, man, this is more than useful in my book. Hopefully you won't have to wait long for more. >.>

Okay I have been loath to comment before because I am really shy about replying to journals I don't have friended, but -- I've been following this fic from the start and it is one of my favourite things in the universe. It is amazing. You are juggling a hell of a lot of kids, so I sympathise a bit more with you not getting Eridan in there because there's a lot of screen time to go around and you juggle it magnificently; I love John and Karkat's relationship in here desperately. I love Dave and John, Dave and Terezi, Dave and Karkat. The callbacks and resonance this makes with Homestuck's canon are all beautiful; if fanfic is something that bounces itself off the original to be truly great, this is bouncing an almighty power chord off the comic and reverbing it all around the room.

I also gave a hideous squeal at the last line because I love Equius and this is amazing.

So, uh, please pardon my gush in your journal, and thank you for writing this story.

[half_life_wolf]

Aw, man, don't be shy! This is exactly the kind of comment I love to get, especially coming from someone whose work in fandom I also enjoy and respect. Feel free to gush at me all you like! It's great to know that people are still enjoying this, and that the angle I'm going for with it appears to be working. I'm happy you like it, and thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. ♥

AURTHOUR~ XD
I am finding it very interesting that the trolls lusii are showing up as consorts! And that Aurthour is choosing to speak with Karlkat and not, apparently, revealing himself to Earl! Or at least not yet.

I loved so much about Future!Dave's conversation with himself and also Karlkat. So much.

Earl and Nell are so great X3 aw hell, everything about this is so great.

[half_life_wolf]

Hehehe. Thanks, bro! This chapter was really fun to write, especially Dave and all his time shenanigans. Not all the lusii are in the game, as evidenced by the fact that Karlkat's crabdad didn't show up, but several of them are.

I think Nellpeta is my favorite to write, though. She's just so damn happy all the time.

[boleniana]

SO NICE getting a new chapter of this! Thank you very much.

I really enjoyed reading your version of Nell's and Earl's history. Makes sense, that that's how they would transfer to this AU.

[half_life_wolf]

You are quite welcome! As always, it is my pleasure.

Yeah I was pretty happy with their backstories, too. Even though the initial prompt was for Karkat's human self specifically, it's kind of nice to take some time and just flesh out everyone else, too.

Oh man. *_* OP over here, and even though I haven't had the time to comment on this at all for the last few updates, I just can't express enough how much I love this so far. I would go further into details everything that's wonderful so far, but that would lead to some very heavy duty gushing, so I'll spare you that and just say how glad I am that you're still on board with this. This is just perfect and much more than I imagined when I first made the request.

Also, I will mention how oddly pleased I am that I'm not the only one who's headcanon human!Equius and Nepeta have some sort of Hispanic ancestry. Yup.

[half_life_wolf]

Ahhhh bro I am so on board with this you don't even know. This thing is going to be at LEAST seventeen chapters and that's a highly conservative estimate, and I hope you're okay with eventually having an arc that revolves around the troll!kids' session? Because that is definitely what is going to happen oh my gog.

Anyway I'm thrilled that you're still enjoying it, OP. I get kind of worried that I'm deviating too far from the initial thing requested but as long as you're liking it for whatever it turned into, it's all good.
