    Summary

    Derlod stared at the window.

    His wings twitched, scuffed and dirtied. The once shimmering black feathers were dull and messy, their golden shine nowhere to be seen. Some part of him was glad for that.

    He stared harder.

    They itched. The bigger part of him was annoyed about that fact.

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Derlord doesn't know how to ask for help. He learns.

    Summary

    A wager, then. A challenge.

    You found your way in here, didn’t you? Now walk out. Your little knight will follow. Find your way back out of the last set of doors, vessel, and you can keep him. But look back, falter, fail… and both of you are mine.

    “Deal,” Avery says, without hesitation. He’s come this far. He can’t fail Derek now.

    (Avery finds his way back to the platform, and the eyes, and his knight. Like he told Derek; he won’t leave.)

    Summary

    Derek slumps in his chair. After so long, he closes his eyes. A smile reaches his lips. Tears well and pour. His pulse stops in a rhythm. His life is slipping, and the universe floods his eyes. The stars, the earth, all of history, all that will ever be, aliens and starships, occultism and symbols, every language across the known realm; It's too fast to comprehend, but the beauty brings him to breathlessness. The king's screams echo through the chaos.

    Somewhere, out there, right there, right here, Avery cries. Derek knows he's mourning. The hope, the hopelessness, the love, the betrayal, the grief, he willingly feels it all. He looks through the house. Avery's mother is watching the ball drop, His sister and brother bicker over alcohol. Fireworks thunder outside. Derek revels in the celebrations. He won't get another. Avery's sobs are drowned out by the noise below. He extends his oblivion-touched hands, but cannot reach him.

    Summary

    Avery wakes up inside his own body—unable to move, unable to speak, and very much not alone.

    The King in Yellow has what it wants.

    Unfortunately, Avery is still in there.

    And worse, something about him refuses to disappear.

    Summary

    Derek Hutchins survived the impossible. Now he has to survive something harder: being taken care of.

    Avery is very good at this. Derek is very bad at accepting it. They are both, slowly, figuring it out.

    A collection of soft moments set after the end of everything, grocery runs and bad Skywars games and 2am conversations and learning, little by little, what it means to just exist without the weight of the universe pressing down.

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.

    They did. This is what comes next.

    what if, after the horrors, we continued living life and slowly healing?
