“You all need to listen to this tape.” He declared, setting it on a desk in front of them. Sasha noticed the tape’s label was scratched out in pen. “It’s, a— an interesting statement, that I don’t remember recording.”
Tim laughed, teasing, “Oh, this is over a statement? Have you finally reached your spooky limit?”
“It’s hardly—“ They defensively sputtered, “You’ll understand when you listen!”

Digging up an apparently-not-dead Vast avatar is a good form of bonding. Being dug up is also a good form of bonding.

Don't Let Me Down by AGoodBean117
Fandoms: Searching For A World That Doesn't Exist - Wifies (Web Series)

Summary
All it takes is one miscalculation from those who know everything.
Derek, stuck between a rock and a hard place, fails to prevent Avery's possession by the King In Yellow. Only, something isn't quite right. Something hasn't gone to plan.
Avery, angry at being lied to, being pushed away, finds himself unprepared and trapped in the form of his minecraft avatar, traversing a world that threatens to swallow him whole.
Derek must combat both his failing body and time, racing to get to the last known location of Avery's physical form and, with it, the King In Yellow. Who, for reasons unknown, cannot access his powers.
All it takes is one miscalculation from those who can see everything:
What if, after everything, Avery was never the perfect vessel he was proclaimed to be?

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.

Summary
He is playing Minecraft. It’s Avery’s avatar that nearly drowned a thousand times, repeating the dangerous cycle. Avery never drowned.
Yet every bubble that popped on his screen, his lungs tightened. Every heart depleted, he felt his own skip a beat. His body was numb, but the pressure persisted. In the water, it was a reminder of what the game could take from him.
~
A semi-canon rewrite focusing on Avery as he plays through the events of DAWTDE. A rewrite where something more powerful than knowledge triumphs, in the end.

Summary
When a part of the cerebral cortex dies, it’s inevitable that the function that correlates one part to another loses its purpose.
But all you need is a reconnection.
~+~
A part of him was scared. Is scared. He could live a life beyond this. Could live a life forgetting Derek, a stranger he’s searched for longer than he’d even come to know. It would be easy, to forget. It would be simpler.
But simple is New Year’s Eve spent alone at home playing Minecraft off a laptop he’d picked up in a locker he was never meant to pry open. Simple is watching hours worth of video content, of the gameplay of a man solving puzzles in a seemingly impossible situation on that sandbox game. Simple is being alone.
Derek was always meant to reach Avery, and Avery was meant to be reached.
This time, Avery means to do the opposite.
OR: Post-DAWTDE Fix-It featuring the rehabilitation of mind, body, and soul.

Click!
He’s back in the world. The new mouse is foreign to Avery, so his movements feel stiff and awkward as he swivels it around. Then, something nearly makes him fling the piece of hardware across his room—
Happy birthday
— the chat window lights up.
Or: Avery is having a hard time grieving Derek's death.
Until, he gets a strange message in his single player world.
