Karkat/John, time travel, jealousy, voyeurism

Six sweeps old Karkat is frustrated with just being palhonchos with John, but can't seem to find a way to move beyond that relationship.
Through wacky space-time hijinks, he ends up in a future with 30 y.o John and similarly aged himself, and they are matesprits. And little Karkat cannot believe that John grows up into this rather sensible seeming stupidly handsome guy, or that his future self is so calm seeming too. Also tall. And grown up. Karkat may actually hate this future Karkat more then any others. And how dare they be so perfect together, when all he and his John do is argue over romcoms.
So, for science, and totally not because the idea gets him hot, why would you suggest that, present Karkat sneakily observes his future self and future John mating. So he can figure out what he is doing wrong with his John!

He's glad that he didn't say anything before, because he would never, ever want to lose Karkat completely. And now that they're going to be friends, he's not going to rock the boat. Not when Karkat's trying so hard.
Looking at the troll, John grins brightly. This is okay. It will be okay.
~~~~~~~
At John's smile, Karkat feels his blood pusher flutter with hope, of all things. Those blue eyes aren't completely happy, and Karkat doesn't know exactly what he's done wrong this time, but surely he's going in the right direction to fix it.
Because this is how John's romcoms go, isn't it? Friends first, more-than-friends later.
No matter how long it takes, he's going to figure out how these human romances work. He's going to do this right.
He's going to make John his.
Thank you all for so much awesome feedback!
If this feels incomplete still, that's because it is. I think this is going to be a prequel of sorts to a longer collegestuck thing I'm working on, so it ain't over 'till it's over! ♥

They will just stumble their way through this, won't they? Even if it takes their silly selves years, they just deserve to be that happy! Just... awwww, boys. EVERYONE HAS A COLLEGESTUCK IDEA THESE DAYS, but I have to say the idea of you doing one excites me more than any of the others! And sexy, hahaha. Your writing is just fab, darling. Hot and steamy but there's that real undercurrent of feeling there too, and it's strong, and that's what really cinches it for me. I will definitely be looking forward to anything else of yours! Is it going to be on here or AO3?

Please pardon me while I blush~ ^///^ Thank you for your awesome comment! I'm always glad to hear that there's more to my writing than the sex. (Not that I don't love writing that, too, though. XD)
And I didn't really mean to jump on the bandwagon, so to speak, but it's been taking over my brain (and my notebook) for the past while, so I don't think I'm going to be able to help myself...
It would be on LJ (and maybe Tumblr), since I'm still waiting on AO3 to send me my invitation~ I'll be sure to post links here!

One of the best things about their new universe, she's decided, is the way that Karkat blinks around at everything in absolute wonder, like he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry but would not be particularly happy doing either. He shields his face with one hand, and it could be because of the sun. Jade thinks he'd prefer for her to assume so

SPAM THE MEME.
It is hereby prompted. I am prompting it. Your collegestuck: give it to me.
Jade's POV is a delightful intermission here - love it, love it. I want to know more about this new/restored universe and how the trolls are going to fit into it!

WE WANT THIS THING. MAKE IT HAPPEN. Spam us darling. Also, aws is aws and totally worth being late to class to comment on! You are a master of the warm fuzzies, please never stop. <3 I especially love the bit with Bec, even! We never got to see much of his feelings before he prototype'd, and I love dogs so.
