    Summary

    When Avery buys a secondhand laptop for forty dollars and opens the Minecraft world already installed on it, he finds a mine he didn't build, a chest he didn't place, and a book he didn't write. The message inside warns him about the crossroads. The last line says his name.

    What follows is thirteen hours, one New Year's Eve, an impossible library, a cathedral at the end of the world, and a stranger named Derek who looked into the face of something ancient and terrible and used everything it showed him to make sure Avery walked away.

    This is the story of what it means to be known by someone you've never met. And what it costs.

    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.

    Summary

    What's in your inventory?

    The last thing D3rLord3 ever said to AveryTheMayo in that world was a question. A distraction. A way to push him somewhere safe before the door closed.

    Derek Hutchins wakes up at 3am and cannot convince himself he is real. He presses his hand to his own chest and counts his heartbeat and it doesn't help, and then Avery is there, sitting on the kitchen floor, asking him about chip flavors like it's the most natural thing in the world.
    It helps. Avery helps. Derek is slowly, reluctantly, gratefully learning to let him.

    The next morning Derek tries to make breakfast and sets off the smoke alarm. The eggs are perfect. The toast is a casualty. Everything is fine.
    (first time Avery realizes how deep it goes. first time Derek realizes he doesn't have to hold it alone.)

    Summary

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.
    The King is gone. Derek Hutchins is alive, somehow, improbably, stubbornly alive, and Avery is not going to waste that.

    Recovery is mostly boring. It involves bad hospital coffee, a couch that smells like laundry detergent, breakfast eggs, and a YouTuber who reads academic papers about forbidden knowledge at 2am because he refuses to let Derek be alone in this.

    It also, eventually, involves Skywars.
    Derek is very bad at Skywars. He is working on it.
