    Summary

    “I drink coffee every day, Buck. You have to stop looking at me like that.”

    “Like what?” Buck asks, innocently.

    “Like you're worried about me — I'm fine.”

    Buck could reply to that in a thousand different ways. All of them are less humiliating than the one reply he blurts out, which is, “I know you were home the other day.”

     

    Eddie and Buck drive up to Seattle to deliver all the belongings that wouldn't fit in Christopher's suitcase to his dorm room. They also, while on the road, confront the way their friendship is changing.

    Summary

    “Eddie, you’re scaring me,” Buck says in the quiet of the room. “Do you-- do you know what day it is?”

    “Friday,” Eddie answers, tongue thick like his throat is stuffed with cotton.

    “Yeah,” Buck confirms. “And-- do you know my full name?”

    Eddie swallows. “Evan Buckley,” he says definitively, but--

    He finally turns to look at Buck’s face, and it’s like he’s waiting for Eddie to keep going. Like Eddie had gotten it wrong. Buck’s face melts, his brows pinched together, and Eddie--

    He doesn’t know what the hell is going on.

    -----

    Eddie loves every version of Buck. And Buck? Well, he’s starting to realize every version of Buck loves him right back. If only Eddie could get back home to tell him that.

    Summary

    Eddie really didn’t intend to keep it a secret for so long.

    Especially not from Buck. Buck, who believes so strongly in the possibility of things beyond his own comprehension, who would never be freaked out by anything about Eddie. Buck who trusts him, who believes in the universe, who would be delighted to know that his best friend has real-life magic. It’s just—

    All of the women in the Johansson family have magic. All of the women, that is, except for Adriana and Sophia.

    Helena can’t explain it. It’s Eddie’s fault, of course, he’s the one who stole the magic which rightfully belonged to his sisters, but his mother has never quite pinned down how he managed that. Her own mother didn’t know why little six-month-old Eddie was able to make his bottle float, and she was dead before she could learn that both of her granddaughters had been born without magic.

    According to historians, seiðr was a traditionally feminine religious practice among the Old Norse. According to Eddie’s mother, seiðr is the birthright of a woman and a woman only, and Eddie is an aberration.
