    Summary

    They saw him as the Demon King of Salvation.
    They saw him as a reader who rewrote the world.
    But before all of that—

    Kim Dokja was just a man trying to survive another day.

    Summary

    O what can ail thee, knight-at-rams,

    Alone and palely loitering?

    The sedge has withered from the lake,

    And no birds sing.

    D3rlord3 barely escapes the clutches of The King, his sanity scarcely intact. Avery finds him, determined to help him with only a fishing pole, D-grade potions and a dream.

    The only complaint he has is that the King doesn't pay rent and just takes up space in their world. And that he likes being alive and happy. And by that, he means: NOT getting haunted by a Lovecraftian entity that can't decide if it wants to be a literature play or a character, but one thing's for sure is that it's keen on corrupting him as well.

    Title: "The Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen (Note: Written before pt 2, but now updated with references to it)

    Summary

    Derek let the bickering drone on in the background, focusing his energy on trying to figure out where they had gone wrong. It was confusing to him how they had messed up so badly given the instructions weren’t that complicated. He stole the manual from Avery while the brothers were bickering, squinting at them and trying to figure out where they went wrong.

     

    “Avery?”

     

    “-such a brat- Yeah Derek?”

     

    “You were holding it upside down.”

    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?”

    Summary

    "When you have an option to do the right thing, do you take the risk?"

    There's a special type of stupidity that comes with the DeCruise family name.
    And, unfortunately for fate, Avery is a prime example of it.
    Most recently, that stupidity has surfaced, in the form of breaking into a house to save someone he barely knows- but who he's dead certain he needs.

    And there's not a single bone in his body telling him to turn back now.
    But things tend to happen.

    Or, in which a house is broken into, mirrors shatter under gazes, and the gates might not be closed just yet.

    Summary

    Derlord knew that somewhere in the future, there would be another victim of The King in Yellow. Derlord wouldn’t let The King in Yellow win after all of his efforts and struggles. After that glimpse of the future, all he could do was warn the next name written in it and hope that Avery would be smart enough not to fall for The King in Yellow’s manipulation. What Derlord didn’t see beyond the gate was that he would meet Avery some years later.

    Summary

    Avery brings Derek dinner.

    Closing his eyes, Avery makes a wish and combines the wet and dry ingredients. With each stir, as the mixture thickens, he wishes for Derek to get better. He imagines the allspice and cinnamon like winter-scented steam rising from a hot bath to draw the stiff ache from his muscles; the cumin warming his bones; the turmeric clearing the pressure out of his sinuses and lifting the weighted haze from his mind. Avery adds a dash of honey and thinks of sweetness, of taking Derek outside in the sunshine somehow, wrapping him in a blanket and turning his face to the wind and sky. It is the closest thing to magic that exists in a world of science and gods. He cooks as an act of devotion, willing Derek back to health by the spoonful.

    Summary

    Or - Derek has to adjust to how life is going to be from now on.

    The book feels strangely warm and freshly bound. The leather moves underneath his fingers like it has not yet forgotten how to be skin. It bears no title, author, or cover image.

    “All you have to do is read the first few pages,” Constance explains. “And then you can see Avery.”

    Summary

    The moment he is separated from Constance’s direct line of sight, he leans forward and allows Avery to take all his weight. It doesn’t matter that this apartment is probably bugged to hell and back, it’s close enough to privacy for him to tentatively invite vulnerability in. He buries his face in the cotton t-shirt warmth as his knees give way and Avery’s hands around his back keep him standing. He feels himself dropping down further, but instead of falling again, he is lifted off the ground and held against Avery’s chest.

    “You’re home,” Avery says. “I’ve got you.”

    Or - Derek and Avery's first night together.

    Summary

    Avery didn’t know what he was expecting from a mysterious letter showing up at his doorstep. The slime blinked at the paper letter that gently rested at the tips of his fingers. He gently smoothed over it, feeling the texture. It was some good quality paper, the things that only the richest, noblest of nobles would use.

    or

    Avery is just a simple ol' jester when he gets a letter.. from a mysterious fabled kingdom belonging to the infamous King in Yellow. Maybe he can unravel the mysteries belonging to this kingdom and create some strong bonds as well. Oh well, all he knows is that he's diving in head first!

    Summary

    (Written for Rook who lives in my inbox and inspired by the knight Avery post by sacchariferouspoet on Tumblr)
    Inherent kindness did not exist. Not as far as Derek was concerned. As the crown prince of the Empire of Quelen, people were never kind to him unless they wanted something.
    People were either sycophantic damn near to the point of insulting, or as rude as possible while leaving room for plausible deniability. They hated or loved him for the crown, he was not a living being as far as they were concerned.
    That is what he believed until Avery waltzed right into his life and sat down and refused to leave, not that he wanted him to leave.
    Why would he want the only one to make the world seem bearable leave?

    Summary

    “The world is in your hands, and I’m going make sure you don’t drop it.”

    Avery’s curiosity gets the best of him, and he goes back to that mine to really get to the bottom of that book without potentially getting into trouble. Unfortunately, he’s an idiot and did not learn the L method as a child. He meets a peculiar person, and of course, chaos ensues.

    Summary

    Derek's jaw dropped. "You're kidding. There is no way that meeting me is more interesting than literally anything else you do." Derek didn't even know how to unpack the last bit of what Avery said.

    "Nuh uh uh." Avery stuck his hand in Derek's face to wag his finger at him. Derek just scrunched his nose. "Buddy, trust me, you are the root of it all. You are why I'm here."

    "That's…" Derek took in a shaky breath, deliberately and slowly letting it out. This was a fact Avery made obvious from the beginning, yet it was one he did not understand at all. "What do you mean by that?"

    "It means," and oh, Avery is taking his hands now, grinning quite fondly, and the way the starlight glow washes over his proud expression makes it all look quite hazy, "my desire to save you broke the universe."

    or: Derek and Avery get their sleepover. Derek has questions. Avery has very confusing, rambly answers. Derek considers it debatably awful exposition.

    It's all in good fun.

    Summary

    “A problem for today-us or tomorrow-us?” Avery inquired, no real pressure present in his tone.

    D3rlord genuinely laughed at that – knowing they had more than a day to deal with his problems was still a foreign concept in their hectic life.

    “Tomorrow, please.”

    ***

    Otherwise known as D3rlord and Avery realising their perception of the world needs to shift as new problems and theories arise. Oh, they behave like domestic boyfriends while doing that too.

    “You normally take longer to get your head around,” D3rlord mused.

    He swiftly raised his crossbow, pointing it straight at Avery's heart.

    “You want to get this done quickly or…”

    Also known as: a darker take on the aftermath of fucking around and finding out. In this case, both for D3rlord and Avery.

    Summary

    Avery is going to kill himself tonight. That’s what he tells himself, at least, when he writes the letter for his family to find, when he leaves his phone and keys on the counter of his shitty apartment and walks out to the bridge that overlooks the river, when he stands motionless on the edge, right beyond the guardrail, and doesn’t jump.

    Or: months after Avery loses him, Derek comes back from the dead.
