    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

    “Just— uh, maybe it’s stupid, but I just thought maybe I could… I dunno, like, help you wash your hair or something. ‘Cause you said you feel gross. If that’s not awkward.”

    Derek had been lying flat on his back with his face to the ceiling, but now he rolled onto his side, curled like a comma, to face Avery. He usually wore glasses, but those were conspicuously absent, and even on the reg they did nothing to soften the terse angles of Derek’s face, the truncated line from his nose to his top lip, the shadows so deep they bruised his eyes. Like this, in real life, Avery could see Derek looking at him, and see himself being seen in a way that transcended human knowledge.

    “Only awkward if we make it awkward,” he said.

    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.
