Why this must be read:
This will be my last rec, and I'd like to thank the mods & the community for letting me rec this month! I had some surprise out-of-town visits happen, so I didn't rec as much as I'd have liked - I hope to rec again in the future, and get a chance to rec all those stories I love but missed. Now on to the fic...
One of the most popular fics and series in the Homestuck fandom, I actually hesitated a bit before deciding to rec this, under the assumption just about everyone has read this already. But in the end, I decided that if I was just getting into the fandom, I'd really want to know about this fantastic AU.
Hemostuck, the series The Fisher-Prince starts off, takes the canon troll blood caste system and flips it around - redbloods on top, seadwellers on the bottom. There are currently two fics in this series, and sadly, it's now on hiatus, so no clue if there will ever be more.
This fic focuses on Eridan in his position near the very bottom of the caste system and how his personality from canon would change - and stay the same - within that world. For a character that often comes across as annoying or pretentious in canon, it's fascinating to see how seeing him as an underdog changes your feelings for him.
Includes a healthy dose of danger, romance, and zombies.
Afterwards, go on to read the longer fic Lost Teeth Like White Jewels, the second of the series, which includes fewer zombies but more romance.
Excerpt
You’ve told her over and over: it’s worse surprising someone with the fact you’re one of the fisherfolk, and if you’re gonna expose your fins to the bright midnight light then you sure as shell will give a show. So you’re sea offal. You like the shamelessness of pointing a big glittery finger at yourself: daring the world to come at you.
You wish you weren’t a little fucking surprised when the world, time and time again, comes at you.
