Summary
Derek reads the text fondly, something warm curling in his being, or whatever’s left of it. Despite how little they got to talk in person, Derek remembers everything he learned about Avery. To say he knew him better than he knew himself would be accurate. Derek isn’t sure what’s going on with him in that moment— or more accurately, some part of him knows what’s going on with him in that moment, his mind is currently just too weary to grasp the infinity of it all— but he knows Avery. Avery is familiar.
Avery makes it a little easier to not get lost in his own, untethered head.
d3rLord3: It’s me.
d3rLord3: You found me again. You’re becoming an expert at that.
(Or Avery manages to recover something, or rather someone, from the wreckage of that world. Derek becomes a ghost in the machine and finds he doesn’t mind it.)

Summary
“You said he needs a clean mind, right?” Avery says after a few moments. “So what if we corrupt mine too?”
“No.” Derek tells him firmly. The very thought of it makes him sick. “It’ll slowly kill you to take on infinite knowledge like that. It’s slowly killing me, Avery. You need to go.”
“What if,” Avery says, not budging an inch, “I take on half of yours? Would half kill me?”
Derek goes to protest but pauses mid-sentence. Thinks about it. Rolls the question around in his vault of infinite knowledge to find…
Damn, that actually might work…
(Or Avery comes up with a different solution, Derek figures out how to execute it, and both of them learn to live with the result.)

Summary
“Avery,” the urgent voice says again, a little breathless and… Pained, he thinks? “You— how long have you—” he swears profusely under his breath, trembling ever so slightly. “Avery, you need to wake up.”
Wake up? But he is awake. He blinks, not understanding, and the strange golden gladiator seems to pick up on that pretty quickly. He grips his shoulders tighter, enough where he might have bruises later but can’t really find the will to care about it.
He should be getting back to work. His work is not done. He can’t rest yet.
But he doesn’t even try to pull away, too entranced by the yellow eyes that never once look away from him. They seem… Different, somehow. Something about the body before him is… Familiar, even if he’s pretty sure he’s never met him before.
(Or Derek returns to the garden in the church to snap Avery out of his trance in person rather than leaving a sign. Their first official meeting goes a little differently.)
