ohohoho i am so glad you asked. buckle up this might get a little long. i’ll provide links to each fic here too! first off. if you HAVENT read detective pony yet go and do it right now. here’s the link. go. https://archiveofourown.org/works/2427119/chapters/5371283
ok now that your the trajectory of your life has been irreparably altered let’s get to the good stuff. these recs are listed in no particular order, and keep in mind that it reflects my personal preference against explicit/smut fics. there’s plenty of that but you won’t find it here.

starting off with a few that make me feel shrimp emotions. i guess some of these could be considered “sadstuck” in old HS fandom parlance. “my only daughter, a smoking gun” centers on the life of jade english, and her relationship with “Betty Crocker”/HIC. https://archiveofourown.org/works/610106/chapters/1099272

on a similar, but darker note, is “a mother will always do what is best for her children” which is written from the condesce’s perspective as she recounts raising jake, jane, jade, and june in the beta and alpha universes. this one veers into pretty grimdark (lol) territory, please heed the tag warnings! https://archiveofourown.org/works/690868

since apparently i have an obsession with the alpha universe guardians my next rec is “saltwater”, which is about the post scratch versions of rose and dave as they prepare to raise children they’ll never meet while planning to take down )(IC. shockingly, this has less than 100 hits and i don’t know how. SO GOOD https://archiveofourown.org/works/39748776

since we’re in lalonde territory now here’s another fic about alpha rose and roxy that makes me lose my shit: “just say the magic word” https://archiveofourown.org/works/525784

are you starting to notice a theme/pattern or something here? i may have unresolved mommy issues.
which brings me to probably my most highly recommended fic on this list: WZRDFIC.NET, or an exercise in tragedy as played by rose and roxy lalonde. https://archiveofourown.org/works/25319689/chapters/61388422
okay now for something completely different that is one of my favorite hs fic tropes… godstuck/earth c mythology!!! “The Collected Tales of Our Glorious Originators and Their Journeys Through Time Immemorial” is presented as an in-universe collection of myths and fables about some crazy kids who became gods. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21714505/chapters/51796225 i love the earth c worldbuilding in this fic so much, and the best part is that the author continues to write in this universe through their incredible MSPFA kittyquest, whose protagonist, kitty harley-leider, is a mortal daughter of a dysfunctional immortal family! https://mspfa.com/?s=32792&p=1 (side note: i’ll recommend a few more mspfas later.)

my final recommendation is kind of indescribable? it really speaks for itself. its called house of dirk. it was never completed. have fun. https://archiveofourown.org/works/19156126/chapters/45530146

okay now for the promised mspfas: KARKAT GOES TO A CONVENTION
PLEASE RESD KGTAC! behind the silly premise is a sincere love letter to the imagination and creativity of homestuck fans. the first act is just about to wrap up, but it’s on hiatus while the author cole works on the final flash (if you see this hi cole <3) https://mspfa.com/?s=27317&p=1
next up is the ineffable nepetaquest 2022. god goes by one name and so does nepeta leijon. https://mspfa.com/?s=48025&p=1 next is another one with really fun/creative worldbuilding and great characterization!!! HSETAU!!! https://mspfa.com/?s=32611&p=1 finally, if you were around hs tumblr in the old days, you might recognize the name “ke$hastuck”. what you might not know is that keshastuck is still up and running 10 years later!! and it’s really good. like, REALLY good https://mspfa.com/?s=1646&p=1
OK that’s it ill add more if i think of any i forgot
