    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.

    Summary

    Derek did not expect to wake up after dying. Least of all did he expect to wake up as what he can only assume is a newborn god.

    Unable to withstand his new existence on his own, he goes to Avery.

    Summary

    !!!BIG SPOILERS FOR DAWTDE!!!

    "Have you heard about that guy?"

    "The one that went missing a few months ago?"

    "He was at the hospital, and now he's out."

    "Do you know why he was there?"

    "He broke down, in front of his PC.",

    "You mean like…"

    Avery looked up, and it was just in time, to see all of them look at him, something in their eyes he couldn't explain. 

    "What?"

    "There was this guy, who stopped coming to all of his classes all of a sudden a few months ago. He kind of fainted in front of his computer, while playing Minecraft, just like you did."

    Or:
    Derek doesn't die and he and Avery are at the same college.

    Summary

    When a part of the cerebral cortex dies, it’s inevitable that the function that correlates one part to another loses its purpose.

    But all you need is a reconnection.

    ~+~

    A part of him was scared. Is scared. He could live a life beyond this. Could live a life forgetting Derek, a stranger he’s searched for longer than he’d even come to know. It would be easy, to forget. It would be simpler.

    But simple is New Year’s Eve spent alone at home playing Minecraft off a laptop he’d picked up in a locker he was never meant to pry open. Simple is watching hours worth of video content, of the gameplay of a man solving puzzles in a seemingly impossible situation on that sandbox game. Simple is being alone.

    Derek was always meant to reach Avery, and Avery was meant to be reached.

    This time, Avery means to do the opposite.

    OR: Post-DAWTDE Fix-It featuring the rehabilitation of mind, body, and soul.
