    Summary

    “Are you family?”

    “I’m–” he isn’t. Derek is just someone he once met. Just someone Avery barely knows. Derek is just someone who saved his life and someone who decided Avery was worth more than his own life. But Avery can’t come up with something good to lie to the paramedic’s piercing gaze. “I’m–”

    “His boyfriend?” The paramedic asks, a glint in his eye telling Avery that he understands the situation and that he’ll cover for the lie. Avery nods, swallowing hard, and enters the ambulance.

    After the events of DAWTDE, Avery finally finds Derek alive. The King is gone, and for the first time, Avery can let himself exhale. When Derek wakes, they have to piece together what happened, but between quiet laughter and fragile smiles, they start to realize that maybe this time, they’ve found each other for good. Even if Derek knows there’s more to it than it seems.

    Summary

    Well, now what? If anything, he felt out of place here. He didn’t pray as much these days, not much when he was a kid, even less now. What would he pray for anyways? For guidance? For safety? Maybe…

    Awkwardly, he pressed his hands together.

    “I uh— don’t know how I’m supposed to start these but… Can you send me a sign that Derek is okay? I don’t know where he is— I don’t even know if he’s still alive… What if he’s in pain? I-I wouldn’t forgive myself if he was…”

    “Please… it hurts to think that he’s out there suffering while I’m here sitting just fine. I can’t even sleep anymore! I… I can’t…” Tears started rolling down Avery’s cheeks. Here he was, begging for something almost impossible. “Please, I…” He couldn’t even speak anymore, he was too caught up sobbing about this man he’d never met. His head in his hands as he broke down for the first time since what happened.

    Summary

    D3rlord3--no Derek had done it. He'd defeated The King In Yellow, and the world would live on. At least that's what he had believed, up until he woke up... here. This wasn't supposed to happen!

     

    Or: Derek, with The King In Yellow alive in his head, is captured by the DMS; the Department of Metaphysical Sciences.

    Summary

    d3rlor3 knows he’s going to die along The King in yellow, he knows AveryTheMayo will mourn him for a bit and forget about it. He knows it's statistically impossible for them to meet again

    He can’t have a possible explanation of why he wakes up, alive and with Avery in his own house.
    Can an all knowing individual just… be wrong??

    Or: Avery by pure luck finds where Derek lives
