Summary
He felt wildly out of practice being around this many people in a casual setting. He was used to meetings, galas, ceremonies – all places where he was paraded around like a prized doll or the kings show-pony, to be used to boast about the defeat of the Calamity. To be seen and not heard; visual proof that the King had brought peace to the kingdom.
Cal was…out of his depth, here.

Or, the Hero of the Calamity meets the Chain.

Summary
Twilight growled and bared his teeth. These idiots had no clue about his secret, and all he needed – all he needed – was for his hands to be free for ten seconds, and they’d find out the hard way.
***
Or, Time and Twilight find themselves in a situation. Time takes the brunt of it.

Summary
It had been four weeks of non-stop travel now since their last stay in a town. That meant four weeks of camping in small clusters in the woods or sleeping on top of each other in small caves. Four weeks of no privacy, of constant unavoidable involvement in each other’s business.
Legend didn’t hate people. He knew this for a fact. He just didn’t appreciate undiluted, 24/7 exposure.
***
Or, Legend struggles with the constant togetherness of the Chain.

Summary
What could he actually do to help his situation?
He was trapped.
A couple of tears dripped down his face at the thought, trailing into his hair and leaving an icy path in their wake.
He was trapped here. He couldn’t do anything to help himself, couldn’t even send up some kind of signal to let the others know where he was.
Not for the first time in his life, Four cursed his small stature. Sometimes it was a blessing when he needed to be stealthy, or fast, or fit through a small gap that other people would be too big for. Oftentimes, however, it disadvantaged him massively in fights - or in situations like this, where he would be fine if he was Twilight’s size.

Or, Four doesn't do well in the snow.

Summary
Legend had an item for everything. Everything. And this served him well 99% of the time.
The other 1% was right fucking now - in a situation where his hands were tied, he couldn’t move, and some assholes were rifling through his bag and pulling items out at random like toys from a toybox.
Legend protested loudly, and the effect was absolutely ruined by the gag in his mouth.
***
Or, Legend's precious items are used against him.

Summary
“How did you get home from the hospital?”
“Took an uber.”
“Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”
---
The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

Summary
Buck knows it’s not sustainable by the fourth night, when he wakes up sweating and unable to breathe, one hand clutching his ribs where she’d stuck him the first time with the cattle prod and the other reaching to turn on the lamp at his bedside.
It’s been one week since he got back, so four sleepless nights puts him firmly in the "more bad than good" territory. What the hell is he supposed to do about all this shit? He alluded to therapy when he talked with Eddie at work the other day, but he’s not going to do that. Therapy is totally hit or miss for him. He’s been to two therapists, one was a miss, one a hit, which means he’s due for another miss.
He’s sure as hell not going to talk to Maddie about it, because that’d be, like, super triggering or something. She just got over her own kidnapping a few years ago. And who else, Eddie? Eddie had a traumatic experience in New Mexico as well; he doesn’t need to be responsible for Buck’s too.
But the fact of the matter is, something’s got to change. So, Buck decides to start self-medicating.

Summary
He could fall asleep like this, maybe, leaning on Eddie. He's comfortable, slowly warming where they do touch, and he can even ignore the way his neck is going to get a cramp as long as neither of them move a muscle and nobody turns the big light on and the nausea doesn't surge up again and his head doesn't start splitting in two. Maybe he could get a half-hour's sleep in, even. A cat basking in the sun, Buck could shut his eyes and stay right here forever.
or: Buck's withdrawal leaves him freezing. Eddie keeps him warm.

Summary
About a week after starting back at the 118, and about three weeks before he was supposed to start getting a steady check again, Buck quietly moved out of his loft—
—and into his jeep.
