  Summary

  Death the Kid spent his whole life wishing somebody would try to understand how he views the world.

  One boy actually tries to.

  An insanely lore-heavy DeathStar fic that follows Kid's long search for his missing brother and a developing romance in the mix. All wrapped up into a silly little college AU.
