And then suddenly: Homestuck. It's a bit of a shift from the consistent Durarara fics. However, once the show ended (before x2 came out) I got really deep into Homestuck. So, the next collection of one-shots I am posting here for reference as I clean out my computer are Homestuck related. Multiple pairings, multiple genres, multiple ratings. Hope you enjoy!

Prompt/Theme: Black and White

"Happy Motherfucking Wriggling Day!"

Tavros jumped and yelped as the raspy voice of his best friend woke him from his dreamless slumber. The low blood troll rubbed his eyes, blinking up at the taller trolls that was hovering over his Recuperacoon.

"Oh..g-good morning Gamzee!" he smiled, pulling himself part way out, leaning over the edge. Gamzee grinned and dipped his finger into the sopor slime filled cacoon, and licked the green substance from his finger.

"Not nearly as miraculous as sopor pies, but still motherfucking delicious." He slurred, chuckling a bit as he set down the large purple polka-dotted package on the floor. "Need a lift?"

The brown blood troll rubbed the back of his neck and nodded, "Y-yeah. Thanks." Gamzee waved his hand in the air, "It's no biggie bro, always here to help a motherfucker out."

The high blood reached into the Recuperacoon, grabbing the smaller troll under his arms, lifting him up. "Up you go, haha." He held Tavros up in the air, dripping with slime over his bed, staring at him.

"Uh…Gamz? You letting me down?" Tavros asked quietly. Gamzee tilted his head and stared at Tavros for a bit longer before he grinned widely.

"Well God damn, your horns are so motherfuckin large. I'm totally jealous of that shit."

"Gamzee!"

Gamzee laughed at Tavros' flustered expression, and set him down in his wheelchair. He grabbed a nearby towel and started to rub Tavros' clean from the green slime, stomach grumbling a bit.

"Ahh man bro, you've got so much slime here. I'm totally running out over at my hive."

"Running out? H-have you been eating it all?!"

"Eh, almost all of it. It's so fucking delicious, I can hardly stop myself." Gamzee chuckled as he ruffled Tavros' Mohawk. "Alright bro, time for your wriggling day gift."

Gamzee plopped onto the floor and pulled the box into his lap, "In this box is the most magical thing I have ever laid my eyes on. And no bro, it's not faygo. Although, you're totally allowed to come over to my hive and drink all that shit up. So motherfucking full of miracles that shit is."

Laughing, Tavros rolled his chair forward a bit and reached over, "I promise I will. I just wanna see what this it!" Gamzee handed Tavros the crudely wrapped gift. It was a small box, not much bigger than a shoe box. It was wrapped with purple paper that shimmered and sparkled, with brown polka dots painted over it. A big purple box was placed on top, with a note that said "To My MoThErFuCkInG bEsT fRiEnD. HoNk! :o)"

Tavros shook the box a bit, holding it up close to his ear. Tinkerbull floated next to him, also hearing in the slight rattling inside. He gripped the ribbon with his teeth and pulled, snapping it in half, before he ripped off the paper in a rush. He opened the box, and saw inside a sleek black Polaroid camera sitting inside.

"Oh cool! This is one of those things the kids talk about, right?!" He exclaimed with a big smile on his face. He lifted it out of the box and held it in front of his face, looking through the viewfinder. "How do you work it?"

Gamzee stood up, his lanky body swaying slightly before he sauntered over, standing behind Tavros. "Let me show you bro."

He leaned over Tavros' shoulder, resting his chin on one of Tavros' horns, and held the camera out in front of them.

"Smile for the motherfuckin camera, Tav."

Tavros smiled widely, and jumped a bit when the flash went off, and a small piece of paper came out of the slot in the front. He reached forward, looking at the blank film.

"What's it gonna do?"

"Shake it up bro. Watch the miracles happen."

Tavros shook the picture, and soon saw something appearing on the film. He gasped as he soon saw the black and white photograph appear on the Polaroid.

He saw himself sitting in his chair, a bit of sopor slime still clinging to his hair. Tinkerbull was floating beside him, glowing lightly in the frame. And Gamzee was behind him, leaning forward and smiling widely, holding up his hands above his head. His two fingers were pointed out on each hand, the fingertips touching each other to created a sideways diamond over his head.

"It's awesome Gamzee! Thank you!"

"No problem bro, anything for a great motherfucker like you."

Gamzee reached into his pocket and pulled out a black marker and grabbed the photo, writing "HaPpY wRiGgLiNg DaY bEsT fRiEnD! :o)" With the marker. He handed back to Tavros and ruffled his hair, smiling as the low blood grinned back up at him.
