History Fanfic / Hemostuck

* TheConsigliere: Tavros to Aradia.
-->'''Tavros''': It is, uh, totally the duty of the Empire’s Grand Premier to behave with grace and diligent responsibility to each of her Luminesence’s subjects, as he’s, uh, the clear water that reflects the benevolence of, uh, her holy flame.
* TheMessiah: Karkat loves the whole world. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim The the whole world loves Karkat right back.]]

-> “I’m Eridan fucking Ampora, thank you ever so,” you snap. “I’m half shark and half hurricane, you get me? I can outrun, outfight, and outfuck any ten trolls put together and this was never your ''glubbin'' show in the first place!”

* {{Badass}}: ''Eridan,'' of all people.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Confirmed by the authors that there is definately a ''thing'' between Karkat and Eridan, although they try to ignore it most of the time.

* MemeticSexGod: Karkat, but only when drunk.

* TheWoobie: Eridan and Feferi as children.

A {{Homestuck}} fanfiction by [[http://roachpatrol.tumblr.com/ Roachpatrol]] and [[http://urbananchorite.tumblr.com/ Urbananchorite]].

* FantasyPantheon: A [[http://roachpatrol.tumblr.com/post/7250160196/hemostuck-religious-shenaniganryvery well-thought-out one]], in which each of the original four kids of {{Homestuck}} is represented; and (somewhat bizarrely) Karkat, even though he is definitely living on Alternia being mortal. Having Rose as a Goddess introduces the rather intriguing concept [[spoiler:of her taint [[EverythingsDeaderWithZombies creating zombies out of recently killed trolls]]. From the last chapter of Fisher Prince, it can be implied that she's using Eridan as an avatar for her grimdark purposes.]]

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Confirmed by the authors that there is definately a ''thing'' between Karkat and Eridan, although they try to ignore it most of the time.

* Mythopoeia: The authors have created own mythology pertaining to the five gods of Alternia. Readers are allowed to submit their own myths as well, and do so with reckless abandon.

* TanglesFamilyTree: ''Like you wouldn't believe.'' Yet somehow it keeps from being dysfunctional.

* TheMessiah: Karkat loves the whole world. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim The the whole world loves Karkat right back.]]

* TheMessiah: Karkat loves the whole world. [[MemeticSexGod The the whole world loves Karkat right back.]]

* MemeticSexGod: Karkat

-->'''Tavros''': It is, uh, totally the duty of the Empire’s Grand Premier to behave with grace and diligent responsibility to each of her Luminesence’s subjects, as he’s, uh, the clear water that reflects the benevolence of, uh, her holy flame.

* OfficialCouple: So many that it requires a shipping chart to keep track of all of them.

In other words, where some fanfictions switch around the blood colors of the trolls, Hemostuck does a complete spectrum reversal with Aradia her Imperial Luminescence at the top and saltlickers Eridan and Feferi at the bottom. It's a gorgeously illustrated story that's as much about the characters as it is about the world they live in, with [[http://roachpatrol.tumblr.com/post/7250160196/hemostuck-religious-shenaniganry new gods]] and blue blood death matches and so much more. At the moment, it's split into two parts: Pretty Little Windstorm, which focuses on Tavros being a resignedly badass dork and his uncouth lowblood friend who drags him on unseemly adventures; and Fisher Prince, which tells the story of Eridan Fucking Ampora, the swaggest seadweller to stalk the docks. There is quite a lot of thought being put into this great honking AU, and you can catch tidbits of what lies ahead in the future in Roachpatrol's [[http://roachpatrol.tumblr.com/tagged/hemostuck Hemostuck tag.]]
