Reader's Recs!
We've come to the close of our Alternative Media week here at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
epic_recsThings to keep in mind:
- Recced media can be any length, any fandom, and any pairing, as long as they fit the theme.
- You don't need to write a review (unless you want to). All that you need to include are title, author, and link to the story (all parts if there are more than one).
- Media as a single file are preferred, if available.
- If you'd like to use our reccing template, you can find it under the cut.

Author's Summary:
In which Karkat Vantas is a surly ex-Marine who is absolutely for sure NOT a gray space alien, nor has he ever been a gray space alien at any point in his life ever, regardless of what this weirdo Sollux Captor claims when they meet in a bar one miserable Friday night.
Review:
Marvel at the beauty of the "universe-spanning bro-ship" that is Space Bro! After the game, the trolls are human on Earth, and only Sollux remembers their previous lives. He's been searching for Karkat for thirteen years, but the hard part is telling him the truth without scaring him off.
JumpingJackFlash is terrific at making you care so much about the characters that you find yourself leaning forward in your seat. The dialog's great, and the narrative voice is so very Karkat. He's blustering and funny and vulnerable at once. Sollux is hopeful but aware that he sounds like a fruit loop and that his years of searching may lead to a sad sack of nothing. I especially love the memory of their last moments before the universe ended and the way Karkat handles the realization that Sollux is more than a friend.
After you enjoy this one, if you're ready for more, there's an Eridan/Equius story set in the same amnesiac universe: California Dreaming
