Ships that I Ship: Day 62: Karkat/Sollux

[coprime]

Canon: Homestuck
Pairing: Sollux Captor/Karkat Vantas
Canon Level: Friends

Karkat and Sollux are fun because, despite how they actually are pretty good friends, they spend most of their conversations arguing and insulting each other and themselves. Karkat mostly converse in arguments anyways, and Sollux (generally) enjoys egging him on. It makes for enjoyable fic to read and makes the moments where they put aside the bull even sweeter. Because Karkat does care greatly for Sollux underneath everything, and I think Sollux would help keep Karkat from burying himself in self-hate. They'd probably do it by having an argument about whose life is shittier, but if they're vehemently arguing then no one's wallowing. And if they ever manage to be emotionally honest at the same time, they can bond over their horrible futures waiting for them as adults.
