    Summary

    Three weeks into their shared Minecraft world, Derek builds Avery a library.
    It has a pitched roof and reading nooks and lanterns placed at exactly the right height and a sign above the fireplace that says for Avery, so we have somewhere to put things we want to keep.

    Avery tries to tell Derek it's beautiful. Derek says it's just a Minecraft building. Avery says it's beautiful again. Derek says the farm was already finished so he had time. Avery says it's beautiful a third time and waits.
    Derek says thank you. It comes out right this time.

    Later Avery falls asleep against Derek's chest on the couch and Derek pulls the redistributed blanket over both of them and thinks about the sign and decides that this, the lamp, the apartment, the ordinary Thursday night weight of someone he loves asleep against him, is also something he wants to keep.

    (a fic about grain direction, reading nooks, and learning to let good things be said about you.)

    Summary

    What's in your inventory?

    The last thing D3rLord3 ever said to AveryTheMayo in that world was a question. A distraction. A way to push him somewhere safe before the door closed.

    Derek Hutchins wakes up at 3am and cannot convince himself he is real. He presses his hand to his own chest and counts his heartbeat and it doesn't help, and then Avery is there, sitting on the kitchen floor, asking him about chip flavors like it's the most natural thing in the world.
    It helps. Avery helps. Derek is slowly, reluctantly, gratefully learning to let him.

    The next morning Derek tries to make breakfast and sets off the smoke alarm. The eggs are perfect. The toast is a casualty. Everything is fine.
    (first time Avery realizes how deep it goes. first time Derek realizes he doesn't have to hold it alone.)

    Summary

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.
    The King is gone. Derek Hutchins is alive, somehow, improbably, stubbornly alive, and Avery is not going to waste that.

    Recovery is mostly boring. It involves bad hospital coffee, a couch that smells like laundry detergent, breakfast eggs, and a YouTuber who reads academic papers about forbidden knowledge at 2am because he refuses to let Derek be alone in this.

    It also, eventually, involves Skywars.
    Derek is very bad at Skywars. He is working on it.

    Summary

    The thing about time is that it's relative. If something happens in one moment it also happens in every moment throughout all of its existence.

    That is to say that when a fraction of a fraction of the King slips into Avery's mind on New Year's Eve, Avery also wakes up a year prior with omnipotence, a world's worth of grief, and his best friend's real-life address burning in his head.

    Along the way he picks up a baseball bat. It's a necessary provision for smashing Derek's laptop into a thousand pieces before he can so much as launch Minecraft.
