    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.

    Summary

    “You know what?” Shang Qinghua said suddenly, throwing up his hands. “Fine. Be that way.”

    The stoat did not turn around.

    “Stay on the chair, ignore me, judge me silently from your lofty perch—I don’t care anymore. I really don’t have time to deal with this right now.” he continued, the words coming faster now that they had started. “My king is already missing, everything sucks, the entire fortress is one bad day away from deciding I’m more useful as fertilizer than administrator, and I’m already teetering right on the brink of losing what little composure I have left. So congratulations, demon stoat, you’ve officially been promoted to ‘problem I’m too tired to solve.’ Enjoy the chair.”

    or

    Shang Qinghua gains a therapy animal while trying to figure out where his king has gone.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a simple mission, a glorified supply run! Something boring, quick and in no way earth-shattering. Too bad they had entered the Cave of Truth by mistake and Liu Mingyan had ended up learning far more about her martial uncle than she ever thought possible.

    Or.

    Liu Mingyan finds out that Shang Qinghua is the Creator God of their world. She honestly cares far more about him being a fellow writer.

    Summary

    The man turned as Avery approached. The helmet regarded him with some familiarity, its owner’s shadowy eyes almost hidden behind the bright metal.

    “Avery,” he said, simply.

    “What?!” Avery sputtered. “How do you know my name?”

    He couldn’t see much of the strange man’s face, but he regarded Avery with a faint sort of bemusement. “Ah. First time, then.”

    -

    Or; Avery keeps traveling into a strange world. The man he always meets there seems to know more about him and his journey than he does 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.
