    Summary

    Summary

    No-Game AU, The Beta kids are now about twenty-four years old and feeling the first real trappings of adulthood... And the trolls are...?

    John finds himself listless and depressed, muddling through adulthood, far disconnected from his previous friends, who he has not heard from in eight years. He's twenty-four now, living in the California Bay Area, working at Skaianet, and has never been more repressed in his entire life.
    He's dragged back into the fray that was averted eight years ago when Doc Scratch, indignant, kicks his ass into narrative deployment by pulling a few strings. Doc Scratch isn't in control of everything though, and it seems that he didn't account for one Rose Lalonde meeting John simply by chance.
    This catastrophic hookup will change June's life forever, she just doesn't know it yet... Oh, and probably end the world, but that's for later.

    Thank you to my lovely beta reader, judderkash!

    Summary

    Dave Strider and John Egbert have a bet going on - who can get the most YouTube views on a single video in a week? John decides to go for something simple, a video essay on one of his favorite movies. Dave, on the other hand, decides to commit to the totally ironic bit of becoming a YouTube idol, complete with glittery makeup and cutesy dances. He adopts the moniker of "Dame Dawn, Knight of Time-themed idol" for the bit. He's really gotta sell it if he wants to win his bet, you know?

    Unfortunately for him, his career takes off in record time and he has to contend with all the trials that comes with. Conventions, concerts, interviews, the whole nine yards.

    Double unfortunately for him, he has to confront how ironic it actually is that he's a full time idol — and, more importantly, full time girl — now.


    Now Playing: Dame Dawn Knight of Time is a half-comedy half-heartfelt take on gender through the lens of performing both masculinity and femininity. Dave -- as the newfound idol, Dawn -- navigates both the unfamiliar world of idols and his (or her) own gender. Will he discover something new about himself, or crumble under the pressure of his idol job?
