    Summary

    The first video they film together goes like this:
    Avery forgets his intro four times because Derek keeps looking at him like that. Derek is completely, infuriatingly, unflappably calm in the way of someone who has stared into the face of eldritch horror and found a Minecraft camera comparatively manageable. They argue about biscuits on camera. Derek says this is nice in a tone of mild surprise and four seconds of footage gets clipped forty thousand times.

    Avery wakes up the next morning to a subscriber count that has done something vertical. Derek is already reading the comments. He is being smug about this. He is calling it pleased. These are the same thing.

    (a fic about filming, the mark on the wall, grain direction, and the particular joy of introducing someone you love to forty-seven thousand strangers who were always going to love them too.)

    Summary

    Avery's pothos is dying. Derek knows this because Derek has retained, from eleven days of cosmic knowledge, a detailed and apparently permanent understanding of botany.

    He repots the pothos. He audits the windowsill. He acquires perlite. He talks to the plants, all of them, individually, with the same calm focused attention he gives everything, and Avery watches from the doorway and decides he is completely normal about this.

    He is not normal about this.

    Also Derek and Hastur have an ongoing disagreement that has been running for several weeks and shows no signs of resolution, and Avery buys sunflower seeds, and they talk about balconies in the careful sideways way they talk about most things, and a seedling comes up one day late and Derek crouches down to be level with it and says hi, you're late, but you're here, and Avery is so fine he has never been less fine in his life.

    Summary

    The list had nine things on it. They come home with twenty-six.

    Derek's first grocery run since the hospital goes like this: the lights are too bright and the store is too loud and there are twelve varieties of bread and his brain quietly goes offline in front of all of them. Avery notices in approximately four seconds and steers them to the crisp aisle without making it a thing.

    They spend forty minutes in the supermarket. Derek's shoulders come down from his ears somewhere around the hobnob debate. They name a succulent after the King in Yellow.

    On the bus home, Derek asks if they are friends. Avery has several feelings about this.

    (or: the one where they finally, finally sort out what they are. it takes a classification, a label, and one very specific data point. also a plant.)

    Summary

    Taking advantage of relative safety, John and Arthur have a nice meal and a bottle of wine. It takes some time before they realize that certain god fragments are not immune to the effects of alcohol, and certain mortal men have recently lost a significant amount of blood. Confessions are made, plans are established, and a good rest is had by all.

    Summary

    “I didn’t mean to say that one out loud.”

    “That’s somehow worse.”

    “I KNOW.” Avery dragged both hands down his face dramatically. “Please forget I exist.”

    “Unfortunately,” D3r said carefully, climbing off the motorcycle, “I flew across the country specifically because you exist.”

    Avery froze.

    D3r had not meant for that to sound as devastatingly sincere as it did but judging by Avery’s expression, it absolutely had.
