A Series of Unfortunate Events

Chapter 1

Author’s Note:
No, this isn’t a crossover, the title of that book series (Which is very good, in my opinion.) is just used as the fanfic’s title, nothing less, nothing more. I’ll pull a Kankri though and tag any triggers this fanfic might have. #tw angst #tw depression #tw imsosorryinadvanceforwritingthispleaseforgiveme #tw angel’s mood swings and sadstuck thoughts shouldn’t mix ever.  Now that that is over, on to the chapter.

Karkat entered the apartment hive that he shared with a human that he may or may have not be flushed for, John Egbert, closing the door behind him.

“Karkat!” John greeted, waving.

Looking up, the troll saw that he was sitting on the couch, the television on; Karkat assumed that he had just finished watching a movie. The Cancer sat down in front of the closed door to take off his shoes, and noticed a new, mismatched pair of shoes next to the human’s. He recognized those as John’s moirail, Sollux.

“John, why do you have Captor over?” He asked, untying his shoes, slipping them off, placed them next to the mismatched pair.

“He’s having one of his mood swings again.” John replied.

Karkat’s facial expression turned into a grimace, he knew how intense and horrible the Gemini’s mood swings can get.

“Why is he here instead of his hivestem?”, The troll asked as he stood up from sitting in the doorway and walked over to the living room, sitting across from John.

“I didn’t want him to be alone in his hivestem.”

“Why not?”

“He might hurt something or do something much worse.”

“Oh, so where is he now?”

“When I dragged him in here, he first took off his shoes and then went to one of the bedrooms, locking himself in.”

“Has he come out at all?”

“Not that I have noticed and he won’t let me in.” John responded, frowning.

“When was the last time you tried?”

“Around an hour ago?”

“Try again?”

“Okay, I’ll try, you want to wait here?”

“I’m going food shopping, we’re running low, and to try to find something to get Sollux out of his stupor, maybe something honey-flavored or some shit.”

“Oh okay, see you later!”

The pair went their separate ways, but little did Karkat know , as he slipped on his shoes once more, that when he returned, things won’t be the same.

What a cliffhanger, if I don’t say so myself.  Until next time my friends~
