Seam By Seam, by sunbreaksdown, (M)
Fandom: HOMESTUCK
Pairing: Rose/Kanaya, Kanaya/Vriska.
Length: 51k
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: On AO3 / On tumblr.
Why this must be read: Slavefic AUs are pretty trendy in nearly every fandom, and a lot of the time they’re pretty much just thinly veiled excuses for master-slave porn. Porn is great, but this story actually takes the time-- a year or two in-universe, and eight long chapters-- to examine the dynamics and the psychological ramifications of institutional slavery, and how some wounds just don’t heal, and how buying a slave to save her isn’t such an easy proposition. Even if you’re not a fan of femslash, give it a try.
The war with Earth has been over for sweeps, and as part of the numerous peace treaties, the trolls have returned many of the captured humans to their home world. But there are those who remain upon Alternia's surface, those who had nobody to ask for them by name, who are sold into slavery and worse still.
At the age of eighteen, Rose is finally given a placement: at the hive of one Kanaya Maryam.
