    Summary

    A wager, then. A challenge.

    You found your way in here, didn’t you? Now walk out. Your little knight will follow. Find your way back out of the last set of doors, vessel, and you can keep him. But look back, falter, fail… and both of you are mine.

    “Deal,” Avery says, without hesitation. He’s come this far. He can’t fail Derek now.

    (Avery finds his way back to the platform, and the eyes, and his knight. Like he told Derek; he won’t leave.)

    Summary

    Saps knows that, in hindsight, all this will be pretty funny. But right now, he's slumped in his white SUV at the back of a Burger King parking lot, gnawing on lukewarm fries to distract himself from the fact that there’s literal shit raining into his new apartment.

    When Saps transfers to his dream university for his junior year, a string of characteristic bad luck lands him on Flux's doorstep.

    Problem: he hasn't spoken to Flux since that catastrophic fight at his high school graduation party, and, as his former best friend, he knows very well that Flux can hold a grudge.

    Summary

    “What if we made a deal?” 

    Flux stilled. “What kind of deal?” 

    “If you sing for me,” Saps said, sounding deadly serious, “Then I’ll get you out of here.” 

    or: Flux is a siren trapped in a dubiously-ethical laboratory, Saps is a scientist who may or may not have good intentions, and there is one very, very small tank.

    Summary

    It’s really not every day you sit in an overflowing bathtub threaded with your own blood. In fact, it’s, more often than not, a once-in-a-lifetime thing — you slit your wrists and then you’re in there for, what, five minutes? And then you’re dead. Gone. Banished, betrothed to whatever afterlife there is out there.

    For whatever reason, however, it’s been an hour, and Flux is still sitting in a bath of his own blood.

    -

    In other words, Flux doesn't die after an attempt; instead, he meets his guardian angel and lives a life he never knew of.

    Summary

    Derek doesn’t die after his brain melts. Avery doesn’t get left alone. They find each other, and now they’re stuck figuring out how to keep going alongside each other after it all.

    OR

    A collection of stories about Avery and Derek which are probably able to be read as standalones but do follow a loose narrative.
