This is IT guys!
Its been a long, angst filled ride, and Ive never been happier. I love you guys, so here, for your consumption, is the last chapter of Its Only A Dream.
It wasn't dark, but it wasn't light. It simply was. He almost panicked once he realized he was dreaming again, but it wasn't a bad dream. He was floating listlessly, and his feet found ground to stand on. He walked forward, and his friends, each smiling, happy to see him, materialized around him. He smiled back, and ran forward to hug them. He closed his eyes, opened them. His friends smiled, fading away, and that man appeared once more. The Signless. He looked upon Karkat with happiness, and pride.
"My progeny, my life. Karkat, I am so, so incredibly proud of you. You have been so very strong." He walked over and hugged him tightly, though Karkat pushed him gently away.
"I WASN'T STRONG. IF IT WASNT FOR MY FRIENDS I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT." He simply grinned and spoke again.
"Don't you see Karkat? Because of you, and your strength, your friends, trolls of every color, came together and helped you get through something I couldn't face on my own either. You achieved what I could only dream of, just by being yourself. You got everyone to get along, and accept you for who you are. And for that, my boy, you are stronger than any troll I've ever known." Tears welled up in both his and Karkat's eyes as they hugged tightly again.
When this scene faded, Karkat woke, but only briefly. He looked around, seeing his friends all over. Feferi cuddling with Sollux, Kanaya with Vriska. And Gamzee, his best bro, still holding his hand. He smiled, and closed his eyes.
And thats it guys! Thank you so, so very much!
