    Summary

    Half a decade after the King’s return, Avery finds himself entirely ordinary. He’s not much of anything, but that one barista he swears he knows makes a good coffee. He lives, and that is all there is to it.

    There is a burden to knowing everything that will ever come to be. There is no surprise, there is no thrill, there is no purpose. Derek has become comfortable with the sentiment. He is alive, and that is all there ever will be to it.

    Or, Derek and Avery get a second chance to know each other, and staying alive isn’t all there is.
