   Summary

   He could not die. Not because he wanted to live, but because Techno could not. To die would be to betray him. It would be to extinguish Techno’s memory, to let the vibrant, brilliant pattern of his life be forgotten.

   Someone had to remember the exact shade of his grey eyes, the sound of his laugh, the weight of his head on a shoulder. Someone had to live the years he was cheated of.

   Or: Dream discovers his soul is bound to Technoblade’s, cursed to find and befriend him in every reincarnation, only to witness him die at the age of twenty-three—over, and over, and over again.
