Ruin on AO3
How many times can you come back from the dead and still expect to live? Whatever the number, Harold has surely surpassed it now. When he finally emerges back to the world, the world has moved on. He’s relieved. It is as it should be. Harold doesn’t want anyone to be keeping fruitless vigil.
A message finds him regardless; a photo of a blackbird, posted monthly on a darknet hacking forum. Unencrypting it reveals a set of map co-ordinates.
Harold expected the ruins of his own making, not a chance to rebuild.
He doesn’t deserve one. He takes it anyway.
