    Summary

    For you, for me - he clutches the worn wood of the staff tightly to his chest, like a child seeking comfort in its favorite stuffed animal - I will not allow you to be ripped away from me.

    When it's with him, his soul feels whole.

    The massive hole is gone, the voices of doubt in his head quieted by the sensation of old wood against his palms.

    Summary

    Avery slammed his heel on his good hand. By reflex he tried to pull away, but then he pointed his blade at his throat.

    It was here, in their traditional sparring matches, that decided the winner. This had been such a wonderful fight. Anticipatory heat pooled low in his gut.

    Avery always fought well, but today especially he was in his element. He looked so good in the sun, all breathless from the exertion. Being matted in red blood was new, but it was well-fought and he decided he liked how it marred his armor and clothes underneath and dyed his bare hands.

    -

    (Or: Derek and Avery developed a habit of having sex after sparring in their private world. It was inevitable that eventually, while accompanying Avery to Hypixel for a skywars game, Derek forgets they're not alone and gets way too excited when he's left facing Avery one-on-one. Avery drags him back home and they fuck.)

    Summary

    After waking up from a coma, Derek finds Avery waiting next to him. He offers to move in together so he can help Derek out, and Derek reluctantly agrees.

    OR: There's so much I love seeing about these two: sickfics, fluff, domestic living, college AUs, etc. So I compiled all my favorite tropes into a half-coherent storyline and gave them as much serotonin as I could manage. Grab a snack and enjoy!

    Summary

    He shouldn't be doing this. He knew he shouldn't be doing this, but his mind and body weren't getting along right now. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't incredibly turned on right now, and Derek would be lying if he said he couldn't tell.

    This is wrong.

    He knew it was. But how could something that felt this right be so wrong?

    OR

    Avery and Derek are camp counselors and close friends, but after months of ignoring their feelings for one another, everything comes to a head in Avery's bed whether God thinks it's okay or not.
