    Summary

    There was something about this moment - just before the storm, when everything went still - that felt almost holy. Like the world holding its breath.

    Then he heard it.

    Faint, but sharp. A thin, warbling sound carried on the wind.

    He froze.

    Whistle.

    Not birdsong. Not wind. Not anything natural. That was a whistle - one of those emergency ones, the kind you bought in a hiking store and hoped you’d never need to use. Three quick bursts. A pause. Then three long ones. Then three quick ones again. Someone was out there.

    or

    For three years, the silence of his remote mountain cabin was everything Daryl wanted. He had a life built of solitude and self-reliance, a world where the only person he had to answer to was himself, but that silence is shattered by the arrival of Rick Grimes - a city man with a busted ankle and no business being in the wilderness - just as the first big snow of the season hits. Trapped together in the suffocating closeness of the cabin, Daryl tells himself it’s temporary. He tells himself it doesn't mean anything. He tells himself it's just until the snow melts.

    Summary

    “Gentlemen. Ma'am,” he greets. Eddie looks over the man's shoulder to see Buck unfold the letter, his face falling deeper into despair the further down the page he gets. “I am Lieutenant James Francis of the United States Navy SEALs. I have already spoken to your Chief, but I wanted to come here personally to explain the situation. As of this morning, Evan Buckley has been officially reinstated for active duty.”

    OR

    Things after the lawsuit haven't been easy. What happens when Buck gets called away for deployment before anyone has a chance to say goodbye? What happens when they realize they're the ones who owe Buck an apology? Now, they may never get the chance.

    Summary

    “I want another tattoo.” Eddie shatters the silence delicately, careful not to disturb the peace that cocoons them.

    Pressing his hand further on Eddie’s shoulder, because he knows Eddie like no one has ever known him before, like no one will ever know him again, Buck asks, “Here?”

    Eddie nods, tightening his fingers around Buck’s forearm.

    “It’s kind of…” Eddie pauses to find the perfect words, until he realizes he doesn’t need them. “It’s kind of for you. And for me. For us. You could… I’d like you to get it too.”

    The corners of Buck’s lips curl in a soft smile as his fingers curl around Eddie’s shoulder. “I’d like to get it too.”

    (or, Buck and Eddie keep getting matching tattoos, and then discover that maybe everyone is right when they think it means something more.)

    Summary

    Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.

    “Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.

    Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”

    “Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

    Evan Buckley can’t look his best friend in the eye and tell him he failed, so he doesn’t. He stumbles around a drowning wasteland looking for the brightest little boy he’s ever known, and when he can’t find him, he just… keeps on walking.
