    Just me writing out a story about What Ifs. I love Vessel Avery. I think he should get to play and torment and commit crimes.

    Has anyone else seen the ANIMATICS too? OOOOUGH

    Summary

    Derek wakes up dead and dissected in a mortuary. A living corpse without any organs or any sort of explanation for why he's still alive. Haunted by the King in Yellow, the DMS, and thoughts of Avery's well-being, he stitches himself up and goes to get to the bottom of the situation with the unwanted passenger in his mind tagging along for the ride.

    Avery keeps having recurring nightmares about something he's completely forgotten. All he wants to do is get answers without losing himself to the call of the water, promising him understanding if he would just sink into their depths and never wake up again. He doesn't understand why he's so paranoid about being seen but he has a few inklings on the connection between the gaps in his memory and the surveillance he's under. He intends to find out exactly what.

    All Hastur wants is keep the both of them in Carcosa, as they should've been in the first place, had it not been for someone's interference in its affairs. It wants to know who was at fault. It wants to do whatever it can to retaliate for stealing what it was rightfully owed.

    (tldr: Derek's a zombie, Avery doesn't remember, and Hastur already won.)

    Summary

    8:36 AM. Northern San Diego.
    A motel off the highway.
    Blood and something golden pouring out of your nose and ears.
    There's a heartbeat against your lower back, and it's not yours.

    -

    After narrowly escaping death and on the run from the DMS, Avery and Derek bolt across California in a desperate attempt to not only keep each other alive, but rid themselves of the King in Yellow for good. It's easier said than done.

    Summary

    With some quick thinking, Avery manages to save D3rlord3’s life. While they attempt to forge a real friendship and get life back on track, Derek being the new host of the King in Yellow might complicate things.

    Why is the King so interested in Avery and is it possible to stop him for good?
    Perhaps saving Derek was never destined to be and their ‘good ending’ after all.

    One thing Avery knows for sure, he won’t let Derek solve this one on his own.

    Will attempt to update weekly.

    Summary

    Derek Hutchins was not meant to wake up. He'd already accepted that. His only goal was to save Avery and he'd done that. There wasn't supposed to be an "after." So, when he does wake up, somehow able to function with both the weight of infinite knowledge and the King In Yellow screaming in his head, he's a bit surprised. But no matter. Now he has a new goal: Find Avery.

    Or: Derek survives and the first thing he does is track down his new boyfriend.
