Author's Summary:Derek loses Kyle.
This fic gets Derek. I mean really, really gets him. It takes a man who was nothing more than a boy and shows how he was forged by apocalyptic fires. And through him, we see Kyle - the man who changed time.
It's beautiful and powerful and so good it gave me chills.
I want to quote it all. But, I won't, so here's a snippet to tide you over until you can hit the link and go see how good it is for yourself.
When Derek loses Kyle the panic that engulfs him is so huge that his body threatens to stop, just stop. But he can't afford that, he can't, because he has to get Kyle back, he has to, he has to save him--he has to save Kyle because Kyle's not dead, not one of those corpses littering the landscape of post-apocalyptic L.A. Kyle's not dead.
But then Derek doesn't find him, doesn't find a trace of his baby brother anywhere and he knows inside, where the panic claws and tears out vicious chunks of his insides that the machines have Kyle, his too small, fragile, human skin and bones--all that he has left that he cares about in this God forsaken world--little brother and panic wins. He loses days to it. Days he doesn't even remember and looking back he has no fucking clue how he survives the blind nothingness of those first post-Kyle days in a world where a single moment's inattention can end your existence. And then one day the panic switches off like a light switch to be replaced by rage.
