    Summary

    Derek ascended, somehow. Stole Hastur's throne in the process of killing him, and now he was the one with infinite knowledge. The one who could bring an end to all of humanity if he wished. The one who could change things for everyone with a wave of his hand.

    But still, one person kept coming to mind. Avery. Avery Avery Avery….

    Why was he so caught up on him? He didn’t stand a chance before, what would have changed now?

    Derek knew Avery. Knew everything. Knew what his hands felt like. Yet, he never actually met him. Couldn’t exactly if he wanted to now, anyway. Avery himself only knew Derek's name.

    And yet…

    Stupidly, insanely.

    Derek missed him. Missed what he knows could have been a part of his lonely life.

    If only they met sooner, in better circumstances.

     

     

    Derek is alive TRUST

    Summary

    AveryTheMayo, or just Avery, traced the lines of the map with a trembling finger. Feeling an almost physical pull toward it. A magnetic tug that pressed against the inside of his chest. He imagined the floors, the corridors stretching into darkness. He couldn’t help but imagine the sterile fluorescent lights humming above.

    “How am I going to do this…?” He said outloud.

    . . .

    The ritual didn’t fail. It just didn’t end.

    D3rLrd3, or Derek survives, but not in any way that makes sense. Taken by the U.S Department of Metaphysical Sciences, he becomes something they cannot explain. Only contain.

    Avery is the only one who notices, the evidence that Derek is still out there. Now he is on the run with someone who knows too much. Remembers things that haven’t happened yet, and isn’t entirely human anymore.
    Retrieving him is the easy part.

    Understanding what came back isn’t. Derek knows how all of this ends.
    And he stayed anyway.

    Summary

    An undeniable ache pulsed through his head as he woke what felt like a deep–deep sleep. He weakly pushed himself up, his body shuddering weakly. Taking a glance at his hands, he was beginning to remember who he was– what had happened.

    His name was Derek Hutchins.

    And he was supposed to be dead.

    or

    Derek Hutchins becomes a vessel of Hastur-confining the entity to his own body.
    (essentially like a Yuji-Sukuna type relationship)

    Summary

    At the crossroads, Avery turns left.

    The golden doors loom over his character, tall and identical, their surfaces catching the light in a way that feels just a little too deliberate. Even from behind the screen, a chill prickles along Avery’s arms.

    Still, he swallows it down. Keeps going. It’s fine. It’s just a game.

    He approaches the doors, takes one final breath, and then—

    “A block of gold?”

    Well, what had he expected, anyway?

    Something grander?

    Something scarier?

    Something less boring?

    “Well… that’s that, I guess.” Avery mutters, wrist twitching as he moves to turn his character around and head back, when—for better or worse—something interesting does happen.

    His head suddenly feels… heavy. Too heavy. His vision starts to blur, the screen warps.

    The room tilts—

    And the last thing he registers is the dull thud of his head hitting the keyboard.

    Summary

    "In your letter," Avery said, "you said you saw the beauty of the universe. Can you tell me about that? If you remember any of it."

    Derek went still.

    The silence stretched out. His gaze remained fixed on Avery, tracing the lines of his face.

    Finally, he spoke, his voice a low, melodic vibration in the dark.

    "I don’t think I can do it justice."

    ---------
    Or, a post-canon fix-it where Derek shows up at Avery's door at 2 AM.
    (just some fluff because my heart aches from all the heavy angst)
