#it's set on an alien planet within homestuck and there are therefore ample references to alien culture relationships and religion

Curious minds are wondering if they can read bota without having read much of homestuck...
i'm giggling. i THINK that you can, because it's nearly original fiction -- it's set THOUSANDS of years before the homestuck canon and concerns characters who only exist in a few pages of exposition. however understanding of the time loops and timeline dynamics IS easier with a homestuck background.... but those things were integral enough to the plotting that they're also explained thru exposition early on.
the plot is about a chronically ill telekinetic little freak of a man psychically discovering that his traitor-to-the-state moirail (platonic soulmate) is going to be burnt at the stake. and his attempts to stop it by splitting off from the canon homestuck timeline. and the question of whether those attempts to stop it will just hasten the moirail's demise instead. and the HORRIBLE fights that he and his moirail and their shared wife all get into along the way.
you can read it here and if you DO read it without reading much homestuck, let me know if it's comprehensible, bc i'm Really curious.
