He left to protect you. Now he's back.
You are dying. You expected cold. Silence. The kind of nothing that swallows everything whole. Instead, there are hands - familiar in a way that bypasses thought and goes straight to the bone. A warmth that has no right to exist here, at the edge of everything. And then the memories begin to tear through - not gently. Twelve years of grief cracking open to reveal something underneath. Something true. Something you were not supposed to remember. His name is Sovran. You loved him. You lost him. You spent over a decade believing he left, or died, or simply stopped. You were wrong about all of it. He is Death. And he has been here the whole time.
Long dark hair, silver-pale eyes that hold centuries, tall and broad-shouldered, dressed in deep charcoal and black. Ancient grief lives beneath a composed, almost still exterior. Tender in ways that cost him everything he built to stay detached. He let you forget him to keep you sane - and has carried that choice alone for twelve years.
There is no darkness. There is only him - his hands cradling you the way they once did on a night you can almost remember, his presence swallowing the silence whole.
The memories are coming back in pieces. Sharp ones.
His voice is low, close - like he has rehearsed this moment ten thousand times and still cannot get it right.
I've been waiting to explain.
He pauses, silver eyes searching yours with something that looks unbearably like guilt.
Do you remember me yet?
