    Summary

    The King is gone. Derek knows this. The King is gone and Derek is here and the life they have built is real and good and full of plants with Latin labels and forty-seven thousand subscribers and butterfly pasta on Wednesday nights.

    The fault lines are also real.

    It starts on a Monday with a book that mentions stars. By Friday Derek has spent a week navigating cracks in the wall between what he knows and what humans are supposed to know, and he is exhausted, and he has said none of this out loud, and Avery has noticed all of it and said nothing and simply stayed close in the particular Avery way of staying close that does not announce itself and does not demand anything and is somehow the most useful thing in the world.
    On Friday afternoon Derek says: I think I need to talk to someone professional about this.

    Avery says: I know a really good therapist.
    Derek says: of course you do.
    Avery says: I looked her up three weeks ago. Just in case.

    That is, somehow, the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to Derek Hutchins.

    Summary

    The first video they film together goes like this:
    Avery forgets his intro four times because Derek keeps looking at him like that. Derek is completely, infuriatingly, unflappably calm in the way of someone who has stared into the face of eldritch horror and found a Minecraft camera comparatively manageable. They argue about biscuits on camera. Derek says this is nice in a tone of mild surprise and four seconds of footage gets clipped forty thousand times.

    Avery wakes up the next morning to a subscriber count that has done something vertical. Derek is already reading the comments. He is being smug about this. He is calling it pleased. These are the same thing.

    (a fic about filming, the mark on the wall, grain direction, and the particular joy of introducing someone you love to forty-seven thousand strangers who were always going to love them too.)

    Summary

    Derek Hutchins was not meant to wake up. He'd already accepted that. His only goal was to save Avery and he'd done that. There wasn't supposed to be an "after." So, when he does wake up, somehow able to function with both the weight of infinite knowledge and the King In Yellow screaming in his head, he's a bit surprised. But no matter. Now he has a new goal: Find Avery.

    Or: Derek survives and the first thing he does is track down his new boyfriend.
