    Summary

    Avery blinks; his mind wanders too much these days, to the golden armor and kind texts. To a house he doesn't know the location of, but wishes he did. His hands are holding a scalpel, and his team looks somewhat nervous. They, too, have noticed that Avery has not been himself lately. He gets early to work as always, leaves late, but he is not answering texts, not speaking to people, being robotic to patients, and just staring into nothing when he gets a break. He tried to keep moving forward, like the words on that letter, but it's easier said than done, and for all of Derek's knowledge, he had no idea of just how much his martyrdom would cost Avery.

    OR Avery is a surgeon, dealing with grief by pretending his patients are Derek... until one day, a boy gets admitted even with brain death. Chaos follows.

    Summary

    He wasn’t asleep yet. It kept going. His left eye was burning. His left eye had to be disintegrating. His left eye was torturing him. His migraine progressed. Something was under his skin, begging to get out. He couldn’t move his right arm.

    His left eye was burning.

    Something twitched beneath his skin, and he screamed.

    Or: Derek does the tell-tale heart as the narrator and the old man? Avery saves his ass. Mind the tags!

    Summary

    Grian wakes up with the taste of iron in his mouth and no clue why he feels so empty. His heart is beating too fast, and when he raises his hands in front of his face, he can’t understand why he expects them to be stained with crimson.

     

    The winner of Third Life forgets, and everyone else remembers.
    Or, Grian can’t remember Third Life. But something in his brain stores those memories, and he doesn’t know why he’s so afraid of everything and everyone—or why they’re all so afraid of him.

    Summary

    Collin groaned loudly, “Whatever, man. Not all of us can just go on the internet and find the perfect boyfriend.”

    “Damn straight,” Derek nodded, “Right, Aves?”

    “Yeah, totally,” Avery agreed absently, before: “Wait, what?”

    “Seriously, Avery,” Collin said, “I dunno why you acted like you didn’t have game for so long. Could’ve had our live-in maid during our first semester!” He let out a low whistle, “God knows we needed it.”

    “What? I don’t—what?”

    OR

    5 times people call Derek Avery’s boyfriend and the 1 time Avery says it himself.

    Summary

    Derek slumps in his chair. After so long, he closes his eyes. A smile reaches his lips. Tears well and pour. His pulse stops in a rhythm. His life is slipping, and the universe floods his eyes. The stars, the earth, all of history, all that will ever be, aliens and starships, occultism and symbols, every language across the known realm; It's too fast to comprehend, but the beauty brings him to breathlessness. The king's screams echo through the chaos.

    Somewhere, out there, right there, right here, Avery cries. Derek knows he's mourning. The hope, the hopelessness, the love, the betrayal, the grief, he willingly feels it all. He looks through the house. Avery's mother is watching the ball drop, His sister and brother bicker over alcohol. Fireworks thunder outside. Derek revels in the celebrations. He won't get another. Avery's sobs are drowned out by the noise below. He extends his oblivion-touched hands, but cannot reach him.
