    Summary

    If Buck thought the aftermath of the lawsuit was bad, it had nothing – absolutely nothing – on the Winchesters barreling into his life, finding out the apocalypse was imminent, that his own death was a seal, and a demon hitting on him.

    He really should have realized that when an angel shows up to stop you from throwing yourself off a bridge, that it isn’t always a good thing.
    ----
    After the lawsuit, Buck is back at work, hoping to reconcile. Only...it doesn't go as planned. His family hates him and after a lifetime of rejection it's one hit too many. Buck plans his goodbye…only a certain angel stops him, 'borrows' him, hands him the Winchester-patented starter's guide to hunting manual, and gives him purpose again. Too bad that angel was so busy saving Buck, they forgot about the goodbye letters left in the loft.
    ---
    Buck rubbed at the bridge of his nose tiredly. "I'm pretty sure this is kidnapping."

    Dean scoffed. Sam shot him a look. "Think of it as adult babysitting."

    Gabriel waggled a bottle of top shelf bourbon from his perch on the TV stand. "With booze!"

    Right. Buck eyed his new...friend, warily. "Okay, kidnapping adjacent."

    Summary

    Christopher left with barely a word. Bobby retired without telling the team, without even telling Buck. It aches, but Buck is better equipped to handle the situation than most. He’s lived with this pain for so long it feels like a part of him, tucked away in a corner of his heart. People leave him all the time, he’s had a lot of opportunities to get good at what comes after. It hurts, sure, but Buck knows he’ll survive it, knows how to cope with it, knows how to go on living.

    Eddie doesn’t.

    -----------------

    Christopher's gone, Bobby's in forced retirement, Gerrard is a terror, and Buck is trying to keep his family together, at any cost.

    Eddie needs to learn who he is and what he wants outside of being a father, of being a firefighter.

    As they work to rescue the people of Los Angeles from perilous disasters, they just might find a way to save each other.

    Summary

    Sequel to "With a Friend in the Dark.”

    It's been weeks since Buck's cancer diagnosis, and in most ways, things are looking up. The idea of resuming chemo still frightens him, but not nearly as much as it did last time. This time, he has people on his side. But Buck is about to learn that treatment is just the first challenge. Money troubles, identity crises, learning what real love means for the first time at twenty-seven... who knew cancer would be so complicated?

    Eddie, meanwhile, is still wrestling with his guilt and anger over how he handled things the first time. Being there for Buck? That's a given. Figuring out what it means to be Buck's friend through his cancer treatments, in the wake of all that's happened between them? That seems a lot trickier. Even more so when Eddie starts to realize that anger and guilt might not be the only feelings he's having.

    Summary

    He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.

    He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”

    Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’
    ***
    In the midst of the lawsuit, Buck is diagnosed with cancer. Dropping the lawsuit is easy. Finding forgiveness, less so.

    Summary

    After Eddie goes through an entire box of Frank’s tissues in a week and finally manages to read through those reddit stories without flinching, he tells Frank, “I think I want to have sex. Like with a man. Gay sex.”

    Frank tilts his head, pressing the tip of his middle finger against the space between his eyebrows, and sighs. He makes a note — Eddie wonders, half-hysterical, if he’s writing down the words gay sex — and then taps the end of his pen against his knee as he meets Eddie’s eyes.

    “Do I have to tell you that you don’t have to?” Frank asks, mild.

    Summary

    When the 118 jokingly launches a Cowboy Competition to learn who is more Cowboy. Buck and Eddie find themselves in the middle of a playful showdown—Montana ranch hand versus Texas native.
    ____
    Buck wasn’t oblivious to it—the way Eddie’s gaze lingered just a little too long, the way his jaw flexed like he was trying not to react. It made something flutter in Buck’s chest. Something warm. Hopeful. Maybe even dangerous.

    And then the music shifted into something fast and easy, and Buck reached out his hand.
    “Come on. I promise not to lasso anyone.”

    Eddie huffed a laugh, but he took the offered hand anyway.

    Buck led him toward the edge of the dance floor, feet already tapping in time with the beat, and as they fell into the simple steps, Buck let himself watch—really watch—Eddie find it.

    That rhythm. That spark. That joy.

    Eddie’s smile started small, hesitant. But with each beat, each movement, it grew. Buck watched Eddie dance with joy. Buck couldn’t look away.

    God, he was so gone.

    And when Eddie turned mid-step, grinning, hat-lighted Buck standing just inches away, all Buck could think was:

    I want to dance with him like this forever.

    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.”

    Summary

    Evan “Buck” Buckley was not an honest person as much as he would like to be or even was trying to be in his own way. His dishonesty wasn’t malicious in the slightest though. He had his reasons, of course, but his entire identity was built on a shaky Jenga tower of lies. As much as he built it up, one by one the blocks were still removed over the years making the tower less and less stable.

    Buck joined the 118 fresh out of the Navy and braced himself for all the questions that were about to come his way which he did not want to answer. Then, like a gift from above, somehow and shockingly, no one had read his resume, and he found he could start all over again, be a new person, someone completely different or maybe who he was supposed to be all along.

    Summary

    Chuck was gone, the world was safe, and Jack was the new God of this joint.

    Dean Winchester decided to use his new found freedom of responsibilities to pack up and move to Los Angeles to stick his feet in the sand, get some sun, enjoy the movie magic in motion, and decide how he wants to spend the rest of his life. He was definitely not running away from the personal consequences and feelings of the past few months.

    At least, that is what he had thought at first.

    He did not expect to be peer pressured into attending Alcoholics Anonymous by Sam, Jody, and by extension the wayward sisters and Eileen, when they decided that Dean needed to stop with the liquor and spirits, and instead deal with the ghosts of grief weighing down his shoulders.

    He also didn't expect to be taken under the wing of a firefighting captain with the same name as one of the ghosts he was running from.

    Summary

    Will Byers is fifteen years old, and there is a monster living in his chest.

    It's been there for awhile, over two years now. It was quiet for a lot of that, sleeping maybe, save for an occasional low, throaty growl rumbling beneath Will's heartbeat, or a provoked stretch in which the edge of its nails grazed lightly across Will's ribcage. But for the past few months, something has shaken the beast into emergence from its lengthy hibernation.

    He's getting to know the monster well. If Will drew it, it would be a dark, bristled creature, clawed and fanged with green, green eyes.

    part i. is a general Will coming out, coming to terms, etc. fic taking place in high school. It can be read on its own.
    part ii. is college era, and gets into the ship pairing.

    Summary

    Will tried to swallow down the last of his fear, but his throat felt like sandpaper.
    “Take me.”
    Those milky eyes fixed on him, and a warped brow lifted, as if asking him to repeat himself.
    Even though the cold seeped into him, like he was drifting backwards into a freezer, Will didn’t take the way out.
    “Take me,” he repeated, his voice still shaky, but he held Vecna’s gaze. “Take me instead of Holly. I’ll come to you. I won’t fight. Just finish it already.”
    Vecna was silent for a long, agonizing moment, but then, a smile curled across his twisted face.
    “Deal.”

    ---

    Will offers himself to Vecna in exchange for Holly’s safety.
    Mike takes this about as well as can be expected.

    Summary

    The lights go out. Steve keeps his eyes fixed just left of the thing, can just barely make out a shoulder and sort-of head in the light of the moon, and tries to swallow back the sickening feeling of being hunted. He wants to run for his house but he can’t. He can’t, because if he takes his eyes off the thing for even a second, he won’t know where it is, and that’s scarier than seeing it.

    But then- then Steve’s vision blurs for just a moment too long, and when he blinks away the tears and looks, it’s gone.

    Steve lunges for the house doors. When the patio lights flicker back on, the poolside is empty, and Steve Harrington is missing. No one notices.
     
    Or: Steve Harrington gets dragged into the Upside Down instead of Barb Holland. Someone else comes out.
