    Summary

    “Avery,” Derek breathed, his voice a ragged, sandpaper scrape. He leaned heavily against the doorframe, as if he’d used the last of his strength just to get there. “You… you’re not a very hard guy to find, you know?” A ghost of a tired smile touched his lips.

    For a long, breathless moment, Avery couldn't speak. He could only stare, drinking in every detail of the man who was supposed to be dead. The man whose face he’d only ever imagined. The man he’d mourned for weeks. The man who was now, impossibly, standing on his doorstep.

    “Derek?” Avery’s voice was a choked whisper, his own name for the other man feeling strange and sacred on his tongue.

    “The one and only,” Derek tried to joke, but it came out as a pained grimace. “Mostly.”

    OR

    After sending his final letter and dying, Derek overcomes the King and is revived. Avery is more than happy to see him back.
