the wvonder an vwariety a life

Summary:

UFUTverse pale fluff, take two. Cronus is bored. Dave is also bored. CC takes the opportunity to explain a headcanon.

Notes:

This is set in the UFUTverse, a petstuck AU featuring the Strider brothers and their young adopted trolls Karkat and Sollux as well as a recently arrived teenage Cronus. It's set at some time post UFUT chapter 27, and will likely not make sense unless you have read the original story. It contains Dave and Cronus in a pale relationship. If this wigs you the fuck out, I don't blame you one tiny little bit, and I also suggest you don't read further.
