    Summary

    Does Avid really know why he’s in Oakhurst? No. Not really.
    All he knows are three things, and they hang around his neck like silver shackles.

    1. Elle is dead. And it’s all his fault. Well, he hadn’t really had a choice. But Elle is still dead and it’s how he’s found himself in Oakhurst. Her body was still warm when he left, footsteps painting a trail through the forest until exhaustion trapped him in this backwater town.
    2. He’s a vampire now. It doesn’t surprise him – the change feels as inevitable as winter. He’d hoped for a few more days of heartbeat and breath, but Owen sped up the timeline with that scratch, reopening the wound.
    3. Avid doesn’t… entirely hate being a vampire. He thought he’d hate it and he had at first. But then… What life is there for him back home? Elle’s still lying on the laboratory floor, dead. He’s got no one else waiting for him. And for the first time in years he hasn’t been called absolutely crazy – slightly unhinged, sure. But people are believing his theories.

    -

    Or an AU in which there's a slight shift to the timeline and Scott had his conversation with Shelby in the mines earlier...

    Summary

    What if Avid didn't die? What if Scott stepped in just in time? And what if Scott gave himself the space to reflect on his feelings before Avid was gone?

    Summary

    "Oh, good" Avid mumbled, looking down at him with a new tiredness in his gaze "I was worried I kept you waiting".

    Scott would have still stayed, he doesn't say, he would wait for eternity. He had done it before.

    "It's alright" he says instead "I'm just glad you're back with me". I love you I love I love you.

    Summary

    The crypt yawns open in front of him, wide and gaping. A maw into the depths of the earth that threatens to swallow him whole, if he would only let it. Avid stares at it, down the throat to hell, and it stares right back at him, mocking with its gap-toothed smile, leering at him from the ragged hillside.

    Only yesterday he'd bounded into that place with a reckless abandon he can no longer summon, lost laughter bubbling in his chest. A high that had buoyed him along and kept him firmly on the top of the world.

    He sits at the bottom of the world now, shoes scraping through the gravedirt underfoot as he scuffs his way along, firmly grounded and left to rot as others take to the skies on skin-thin wings.

    Summary

    It had been 80 years since the events in Oakhurst. The grief of losing Avid had softened, but would never leave entirely. That's apparently just how grief worked, according to Shelby and Drift. Every year, they still took the time to visit his grave, no matter what else was going on in their lives. This year shouldn't have been any different. But when they arrived, there was already someone there.

    Why was grieving him easier than facing him again?
