My @mcytblrholidayexchange gift for @kuruasu! Happy new year and sorry it took so long!
The thing is, no matter how much I care about certain characters, I don't really need them to have happy endings. I need them to have narratively satisfying endings. Even without Avid's own lore, he has become the dead male wife haunting the narrative for several different characters and the cause of the first proper crack in the core covon. His death may be tragic, but it is so satisfyingly narratively relevant.
