    Summary

    "I told you already, I can’t do this."
    There was a tug of war between staying or leaving inside of Derek.
    "I can’t."
    But he wanted.
    How much longer would he be able to resist temptation?
    He was the one thing in life he could control.
    But why did it feel like he was losing even that?
    Control was such a fickle thing after all.
    When would he cross the line of no return?

    What if he coudn’t?
    What if he wouldn’t?
    What if he managed to pull off a miracle?
    Why did he act like he could?

    -

    In which Avery searches for answers while Derek searches for meaning. Somehow they meet each other in the middle.

    (This is going to be a rewrite of the entire story with a few additions.)

    Summary

    "I love you," has Derek in complete immobility trying to wrap his head around it, suddenly pausing as he washes the dishes. The source of his confusion and sudden paralyzed state of mind has his chin on his shoulder and arms looped around his waist, but the cause of his sudden apraxia remains to be those words.

    "I love you," has Avery humming, continuing with his attempts in cooking an omelet with a smile. The words slip through his ears like water through his fingers. Derek is sat on the kitchen table with a convincing look on his face. Somehow Avery finds it hard to swallow those words when they seem so easily said, so he grins.

    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.

    Summary

    Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:

    On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.

    The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”
