    Summary


    "Do you know what I find fascinating about humans?"

    The King's claws scratched gently at the nape of Derek's neck.

    The gesture was undeniably possessive. It should have made him pull away. It would have only a few weeks ago.

    Instead, Derek found himself leaning into the touch.

    "You spend your entire lives so desperate to be understood," The King murmured. "Then recoil the moment something finally does."

     




    After the failed ritual leaves him bound to the King in Yellow, Derek becomes the center of a hidden war between cults, government agencies, and eldritch powers far beyond human comprehension. While the world grows steadily stranger, Derek finds himself growing closer to the being responsible for most of his suffering.

    Apparently, that feeling is mutual.

    Or

    A story about possession (both literal and figurative), what it means to be human, and the terrible realization that being wanted by an eldritch horror is at least still want.
