    Summary

    Despite your impudent tone, I have decided to spare you.”

    Derlord blinked.

    I shall not take your life.

    Sorry, what?

    You have my word.

    The King flicked his hand, gesturing towards the gate behind the knight. A sincere promise, and yet, the mirthful tone of his voice implied it was anything but one.

    And close the gate as you leave. There is a draft.

    Or
    Local ancient eldritch entity curses a man with the horrors of infinite knowledge, and learns the hard way that a petty mortal’s idea of revenge is rage bait.

    Summary

    Hastur felt disgustingly human. He hadn’t felt this way in eons. His being, every magnificent facet of His universal form was squished and shoved into a tiny, weak, mortal body. He wanted to tug His own skin off just to properly stretch out.

    It took much longer than He would ever admit, but He finally managed to peel open His eyes.

    He was greeted with the dim glow of a laptop screen.

    or,
    hastur deals with becoming mortal. derek deals with making his body habitable again.

    Summary

    Derek's hair is a disaster. He has known this for a while and has been filing it under things to address later because there have been other things, the smoothies, the plants, the eleven days and the long after of them. There have been other things.

    He looks at it on a Thursday morning and thinks: I'll just buzz it. Clean start. Efficient. He tells Avery this.

    Avery says: sit down.

    Forty-five minutes later Derek is on a kitchen chair with detangling spray in his hair and Avery's hands working through it section by section, from the ends up, slowly and correctly. Every time the comb catches something, every time, without exception, for forty-five minutes, Avery says sorry. Even when Derek says it doesn't hurt. Even when Derek says Avery, you don't have to apologize. Even when Derek says he genuinely cannot feel it.

    Sorry. Sorry. Is that okay. Sorry.

    Somewhere in the middle of it Derek realizes he has, at some point he cannot identify, stopped bracing. He doesn't know when it happened. He realizes it only by its absence.

    He has to close his eyes.

    Summary

    “Flowers for Algernon” was referenced in the first book Avery found in the library. Avery finds D3rlor— no, Derek, a few weeks later in the middle of a busy street. How is Avery sure that’s Derek? Because he’s rasping Avery’s full name, student ID, and telling strangers how “Left” is a horrible direction.

    A.K.A: He’s alive, but not well. The boys learn what proper communication is as they journey through the stages of brain damage recovery (and the first step of that is acceptance, contrarily).

    (Smut in Ch.8, Ch.10 only)

    Summary

    AveryTheMayo, or just Avery, traced the lines of the map with a trembling finger. Feeling an almost physical pull toward it. A magnetic tug that pressed against the inside of his chest. He imagined the floors, the corridors stretching into darkness. He couldn’t help but imagine the sterile fluorescent lights humming above.

    “How am I going to do this…?” He said outloud.

    . . .

    The ritual didn’t fail. It just didn’t end.

    D3rLrd3, or Derek survives, but not in any way that makes sense. Taken by the U.S Department of Metaphysical Sciences, he becomes something they cannot explain. Only contain.

    Avery is the only one who notices, the evidence that Derek is still out there. Now he is on the run with someone who knows too much. Remembers things that haven’t happened yet, and isn’t entirely human anymore.
    Retrieving him is the easy part.

    Understanding what came back isn’t. Derek knows how all of this ends.
    And he stayed anyway.
