Summary
Since merging minds with Hastur, Derek's life is defined by the cruel and unusual pains inflicted upon him by a spiteful God who wants to punish him for foiling his plans. He hasn't left the house in four months and, though Avery is a saint who keeps trying to prompt him into managing this new life, he can't figure out how to tune out the noise enough to focus on being a person again.
But Avery is determined to bring hope back into his life.

Summary
A week following Derek's death, Avery gets a knock on his door from an old woman holding a dog on a leash. She explains that she's Derek's next-door neighbour and that he has entrusted his beloved German Shepherd to Avery. Suddenly unable to wallow in grief alone, Avery must learn about Derek through the things he has left behind, taking care of his legacy and slowly understanding why he thought the world was beautiful enough to die for.
Like ivy worming its way through bricks and foundations, impossible to cull, grief exists in the knowledge of everything. All that this world is built on will one day die. Species will go extinct, mothers will die in childbirth, dogs will be left without owners. The cycle of life is a cycle of abandonment, trudging on through the loss and the emptiness. You spend your whole life missing things until you die and, if you’re lucky, something misses you.
And Laika is the only piece of Derek that Avery can touch. She is the gravestone he must nurture.

Summary
“Just— uh, maybe it’s stupid, but I just thought maybe I could… I dunno, like, help you wash your hair or something. ‘Cause you said you feel gross. If that’s not awkward.”
Derek had been lying flat on his back with his face to the ceiling, but now he rolled onto his side, curled like a comma, to face Avery. He usually wore glasses, but those were conspicuously absent, and even on the reg they did nothing to soften the terse angles of Derek’s face, the truncated line from his nose to his top lip, the shadows so deep they bruised his eyes. Like this, in real life, Avery could see Derek looking at him, and see himself being seen in a way that transcended human knowledge.
“Only awkward if we make it awkward,” he said.

Summary
Connor was startled when he felt the car drift right without his input on the steering wheel. It must be the ice, he realized. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and gently eased into the slide, lifting his foot off of the gas, just like you’re supposed to do. Only his tires didn’t seem to be correcting themselves. He very carefully and slowly pumped the brake, but maybe not quite enough? It seemed like the car was gaining speed again, and he still had no traction -
A split second before it happened, Connor’s eyes widened as he looked up and saw the back of a car parked at the curb so close his headlights reflected off of it and nearly blinded him-
There was a heavy jolt. Connor felt his head and left arm hit the side of the car hard, as a crunching sound came from the hood. The car rocked back and forth for a few moments, then everything was still and silent.
Connor sat there, LED red and eyes unblinking. “Uh-oh.” Then he groaned and let his head fall forward onto the top of the steering wheel. “That did not just happen…!”Bookmarked by Lake_puddle
