Beta Kids + Scratched Dave
anonymous
December 4 2011, 07:56:31 UTC
Scratched!Dave has grown up remembering everything and everyone he had in his original timeline that was all ripped away from him. He does his best to be a good dad to young-Bro, throws himself into his creative work to support Bro and try to give himself something to do with his life, but basically he lives a miserable, disconnected existence full of what-might-have-beens.
And then somehow his friends from the beta end up in the scratched world, and Dave is the first to meet them when they show.
I'd just really like to see some of Dave's struggles getting through life/parenting/the movie biz while being trapped in such a deep, dark emotional place, and then his reaction when the reunion happens and the world suddenly feels okay again.
Bonus points if he actually cries some non-ironic happy tears.
(Feel free to have beta session Dave show up with the other three kids if that makes more sense to you. Ship is up to you, I'd actually enjoy just friendship or kids OT4 but anything is fine.)

So many of these Scratched!Dave prompts speak to me. But I keep coming back to this one. Expect a fill sometime in the nearish future, once I get university finals off my ass so I can write something decent.

Apologies for how long it's taken to get this fill done. If you've reposted this request somewhere, feel free to link me to the newest one. Otherwise, this should probably be finished by or before New Years.

Okay. Ended up splitting this into two parts. Part two will come later when it's finished and looked over.
Title: LEDE Chapter: Part 1 of 2 Link: If you want to see the color formatting and not read a bajillion comments you can read part one in full here. ...This is also the one I'll edit if I catch any mistakes and typos so will be the most current. Series: Homestuck Pairings: At its heart this is a Scratched!Dave + beta kid friendship OT4, but has elements of S!(Dave)/John and S!(Dave)/Jade if you want to put either of those particular googles on. Can be as one-sided or mutual or as gloriously platonic as you like. How you read things is up to you. Characters: Scratched Alpha!Dave, Alpha Guardians, Dave, Jade, John, Rose, Bro, D??? Strider, Rating: PG-13, assuming you're all ready used to Dave's particular brand of language.

You were never supposed to remember.

-(ø)-You remember Bro. You remember how he died, his own katana driven through his chest and out his back like he was made out of paper. You remember wondering why he couldn’t just be hurt but breathing instead (because it just wasn’t right, seeing him lying there like that like something broken), while your mind tried to make sense of it all and think up a viable explanation for how the hell the whole thing even happened, because until then Bro had always been immortal. Him being dead will never stop being wrong, will never stop burning as if LOHAC is living underneath your skin

The memories filter in slowly in the beginning-remembering things at first feels like moving a limb that has atrophied from years of disuse, the muscles stiff and reluctant and painful-but it does not take long for them to spiral into a cascading deluge, threatening to overload your whole system as you begin to remember everything. There are times you can hardly function because of the memories, all of them a welcome migraine against your skull that threatens to block out everything else, until you sometimes can’t tell the present from your forgotten past. It’s not like watching a movie, staring at old black and white photographs, or reading a journal in a familiar hand-there is no disconnect, no divide between you and your apparent doppelgänger. You feel every memory. It’s never Dave Strider. It’s you.It takes you years to remember it all-three long years in which you live out thirteen condensed years of one life (time as it turns out is every bit as relative as Einstein postulated it to be) while drifting through the other
