    Summary

    Eddie thinks, as he munches on a fry, that he’s angry. He’s angry that Buck was ever wronged, that Buck even felt he had to give him that look. He’s angry that he can’t just fix it, that he’s not good at fixing things but he’s really good at messing things up. He’s angry because he’s afraid of failing when Buck needs him.

    He’s angry at Buck because he’s not here, and he’s angry because it’s easier than grief, because Eddie thinks this might be a type of grief. Because he misses Buck when he’s right there, because Eddie thinks this might be another thing like all the other things he needs to deal with, the things he pushes down so deep because just letting them sit around is enough to hurt.

    -

    or Buck gets turned into a kid. Eddie misses him like crazy.

    Summary

    “He baby-trapped you,” the man said with a misplaced confidence that was almost impressive, “that’s fucked up, man.”

    Buck blinked. Then blinked again. Then, “Uh... no. No, that’s not—”

    “Shut it, Benji, that’s not what happened,” the other robber scowled, no longer trying to pretend he wasn’t eavesdropping. “They’re both dudes. A dude can’t baby-trap another dude.”

    “Of course they can. Equal rights and shit! That’s what the parades are for.”

    ---

    There's a hostage situation at the bank and Buck is forced to reevaluate his relationship with Eddie (and vice versa).

    Summary

    “It was a career-ending injury!” Wylan snaps. “What else is there to say? Are you trying to make fun of me?”

    Jesper recoils. “No! Saints, no, Wylan. That’s awful, I would never!”

    “You made fun of me for just about everything else.”

    “Well, that’s because I didn’t like you very much. I still don’t,” Jesper says bluntly. Wylan’s glare intensifies and Jesper hastens to add on, “But I don’t hate you!”

    -

    Seven years ago, Jesper Fahey was the up-and-coming rising star of the tennis world. The only person really in his way seemed to be the rich and haughty (and maybe, handsome) darling of Kerch tennis, Wylan Van Eck. But that was seven years ago, and after their match in Ravka—everything changed. Now, for the first time, they meet each other again.

    Summary

    The night is screaming at him.

    Buck's always been good at being loud enough to distract, bright enough to deflect, and if they notice the tired smile or the stiffness in his voice, they chalk it up to recovery. But they don't know about the dream.

    About that other life.

    They don’t know that every time Buck closes his eyes, he’s back in a world where Bobby was gone and Eddie never even existed in his life, and the 118 isn’t home, or family, or real.

    Or,

    After the lightning strike, the night is screaming at him, and Buck doesn't know in which reality to believe — the one where he was love, but wasn't himself, or the one where he loves, but isn't sure of who he is. Lightning never strikes twice, but Eddie will do everything to save Buck as many times as it takes.
