Summary
“Papa, what’s your job?”
Ilya opens his mouth. Closes it. He looks at Shane, who is suddenly very interested in his coffee.
“My job,” Ilya says slowly, “is to take care of you.”
“That’s not a job,” Wyatt says matter-of-factly. “That’s just being a papa.”
“Yes,” Ilya agrees. “It is.”
In September 2030, Ilya Rozanov is newly retired, newly restless, and learning the hard way that staying home with their three-year-old son is more exhausting than any playoff run. Shane Hollander is back on the ice, chasing another season while missing things he can’t get back.
After more than a decade together, Ilya and Shane must relearn the hows of their relationship—what comes after happily ever after.

Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

Summary
After the tsunami, Buck moves in with Eddie, determined to help Christopher through the nightmares that follow. Somewhere between midnight talks and quiet mornings, they cross the line from friendship to something else—but Buck learns too late that they’re not on the same page.
One heated argument about what they are, combined with Buck’s discrimination complaint against the LAFD, shatters the fragile thing they’d built. Now they’re not speaking, and Buck’s left wondering if he’s lost Eddie for good.
But when life-altering news drops into his lap, Buck is forced to decide—will he reach for Eddie, or let the distance between them become permanent?

Summary
“I’ll do whatever you want, just, please.” Buck sobs out the last word, eyes burning with unshed tears.
“A vow.” The man leans uncomfortably close to Buck. The knife brushes against his neck, lightly scratching across the top layer of Buck’s skin. The man’s cold blue eyes hold Buck’s full attention. “That’s what I require. Sell me your allegiance.”
Buck stares back at the killer, unable to fully process what is being asked of him. He sees a flash of anger dance in the stranger’s gaze. He's impatient. Unpredictable. Fear pours into Buck's chest as he realizes he might not get a second chance at this. He has to make this count. “I vow to give you complete control over the remainder of my life. My body is yours to destroy—so long as you let my sister live and return safely to her family.”
__
Or, After Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck goes to seek comfort from his sister and walks in on her kidnapping. In order to save Maddie's life, Buck offers up his instead. Unintentionally agreeing to something worse than death.
