_{So guys.

On the Homestuck Kink Meme ([link]) I requested something. The prompt was more or less, "John and Karkat have an epic slumber party/movie night, and realise that they both adore each others' movies - sleeping bags, popcorn, the works. By the end of the night they are goddamn blubbering emotional wrecks and are bawling with tears."

Today, it got filled.
And it is the most glorious, sweetest, heartwarming, fucking hilarious thing ever and you have to go read it right now because it is one of the best fucking fics ever produced from the Homestuck fandom.

DO IT NOW.

The moment Karkat sees the sleeping bags, John sees him change his mind. Any normal person would appreciate what he’s done to make this the sweetest sleepover set-up of all time, but Karkat is Karkat and allergic to nice things. He turns tail to go.

“No way,” says John, and bursts from the blanket nest to rout the escape. “I stole, like, every pillow in this place. I raided the fridge. I had to get a Captcha code for margarine because butter gives you skitters. I’ve popped an assload of popcorn, Karkat! We are having this movie night and we are having it right now.”

They shadow-dance each other as the troll boy attempts to duck under John and doggedly make a break for the corridor, but they both know he can’t back out. He is wearing his jammies, for instance, which meant just getting here to John’s cabin must have been one heck of a walk of shame. His arms are full of stuff; he is suitably prepared. “This is not a fancy funtime fuck party, Egbert!” Karkat barks. “Cinema is serious goddamned business - “

“Hey, nobody knows that better than me - “

“ - not to be taken lightly, isn’t a bullshit wriggler brightlight display - “

“ - cool, you brought Twizzlers,” says John. “The weird alien kind! Are those the ones that taste exactly like Cool Ranch?”

“ - this shit is so high-minded I fully expect you to start leaking blood from both noseholes as your thinkpan tries to process, you feeblebrained fuck,” says Karkat. “And yes. Yes, I brought the Twizzlers.”

There are even two pillows tucked untidily under each armpit. John could not be prouder. Here they are, united as men and buds: men slash buds with a uniform and a purpose, even if that uniform is sweatpants and teeshirts and the purpose is to watch as many movies as they can stomach in one sitting. Karkat’s shirt was Dave’s so unfortunately that means it reads World’s Best Grandma across its white worn-out front, but as far as protective clothing goes they are set and ready. John knows movie-watching is a marathon exercise, and comfort is paramount! The World’s Best Grandma is already laying his pillows on the bed to mark out his territory, making a kind of Great Wall of Twizzlers in the middle as a demilitarized zone, and for the umpteenth time John shuffles through his movies.

“Are we watching mine first, or yours?”
