    Summary

    But you had to go
    I know, I know, I know
    Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore

    Summary

    “You’re not a very hard guy to catch, you know.”

    Golden armor. Crimson accents.

    “Avery.”

    And it’s different this time. It isn’t it’s you. It isn’t I found you. No, it’s—

    “You’re alive,” Avery says, a little breathless.

    Or, Avery finds himself reliving New Year’s Eve over and over, but he’ll try as many times as he has to if it means he can save Derek.

    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

    “You’re sure the pain is manageable?” He asked, dark eyes tracking Derek’s movements as he changed and dropped the gown on the hospital bed.

    “Yes, mom,” Derek rolled his eyes, shrugging on a black t-shirt with only a little struggle. “I told you, I’m fine.” Cotton. Stop. This was Avery’s shirt. Derek fought the urge to bring the collar to his nose and smell it.

    “I just want to make sure!”

    OR

    Avery and Derek go home. Time to try out pain management techniques. (And fail at not being emotionally pent up weirdos.)

    Summary

    In some softer future, where Derek is weak but alive, he and Avery have some quality alone time. His body, still fragile and easily tired, protests the slightest exertion, to his unending frustration. He just wants Avery to feel good.

    They figure things out and enjoy themselves very, very much.
