* A popular AU is "Stabdads", where Spades Slick raises Karkat as his own. The other troll/exile pairs are usually brought in (e.g., [[TheStoic Diamonds Droog]] for [[PerkyGoth Aradia]] and [[FemmeFatale Snowman]] for [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Vriska]] and/or [[GuileHero Terezi]]). Sometimes the AU is expanded to include the ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' cast as parents for the remaining trolls ([[TheHero Problem Sleuth]] for [[OnlySaneMan Kanaya]], [[AmbiguousDisorder Pickle Inspector]] for [[CatGirl Nepeta]], etc.).

* The few surviving trolls have to live on Earth after an assumed end of the series in which that is a thing that happens. The actual resolution of the series is generally neither shown nor described. Commonly used to set up an FromRoommatesToRomance plot. The pairing is very often John/Karkat. Karkat is often shown grudgingly enjoying watching human movies with John.

Changed line(s) 2,3 (click to see context) from:
* The popular "bloodswap", an [[AlternateUniverseFic Alternate Universe]] WhatIf fic where the trolls have different blood colors than they do in canon -- blood color being used to determine their place in the FantasticCasteSystem and what PsychicPowers they get (if any). The most well-known bloodswap fic is ''Fanfic/RedDeadVirgo''... which is actually a good example of what ''not'' to do when making a bloodswap, e.g. swapping around sign- or character-specific traits and not swapping the lusii, despite the fact that the lusii and some of the trolls' traits are connected to the ''signs'' and not the blood; these are all common pitfalls of bloodswapping. ''Fanfic/RedDeadVirgo'' is generally pretty hated around certain circles due to starting and perpetuating said pitfalls. A pretty good blog for avoiding bloodswap cliches can be found [[http://bloodswap-advice.tumblr.com/ here]] for the interested.
** A variant keeps the bloods of the characters the same, but reverses the social standing of the hemospectrum so that the former rustbloods are in charge and seadwellers are the lowest castes, ex. Webcomic/BeTheSeaDwellerLowblood.
