   Summary

   AM is wildly obsessed with the deaths of the other four humans at Ted's hands. Obsessed might even be an understatement. Death is incurable, but AM has decided he'll be the one to cure it. He will bring the other four back from the dead to spite Ted and his savior complex.

   But also, he needs Ted for said plan to be put into motion.

   Ted is unwilling, but AM was built for strategizing and by God he'll use it. And he'll use it until it becomes so second nature the lines on him and Ted's relationship are blurred to the both of them.
