    Summary

    “Evan.” Phillip doesn’t get up to greet Buck. He simply stares from his seat next to Margaret. “What are you doing here?”

    Buck schools his features into the most affable expression he can manage under the circumstances.

    “You literally asked Maddie for help,” Buck says, still standing awkwardly in the doorway. “Told her you needed someone to help around the house once you’re out of the hospital.”

    “Yes, but –”

    “What we meant was –”

    “You asked Maddie.” Buck isn’t surprised to see his parents exchange a knowing look at this. “Because god forbid your son come to help out, right?”

    Or, Buck has to go home to take care of his injured mother. While there, he confronts his complicated feelings about his parents, his place in his birth family, and the importance of found family.

    Summary

    And look. Maddie should know better than to get involved. But she’s at the point in her pregnancy where she’s cranky and uncomfortable all of the time. Sue's got her on reduced hours already due to the stressful nature of this pregnancy and she’s bored. There’s only so much daytime tv you can watch before your brain starts melting.

    So, just a little push.

    “You know, I always knew my brother was obsessed with you.”

    Eddie chokes on his drink.

    Okay, maybe that was more than a little push.

    ~

    Maddie finally says her piece.

    Summary

    "It’s selfish, but he loves the feeling of Eddie’s hands on him. He has beautiful hands, he’s always thought so. He thinks he’s dying maybe. No, he knows he is. And all he wants is for Eddie to stop, to just cradle him close and let the last moments be wonderful. Blissful, even. He did what he meant to, what he wanted. And all he wants is for Eddie to just--to hold him and let him go. Fulfill the last wish of peace for a dying man."

     
    Or, what happens when Buck’s wish comes true and he gets to find out if it would have been better if he was the one who got shot…

    Summary

    He left, and when he told Maddie she cried and Buck held her until she stopped shaking. He stayed for a dinner he made, and then well past Jee-Yun's bedtime and Chim had told him, seriously, when he was gathering his things and Maddie had fallen asleep on the couch, to do something that should have been simple. "Call Eddie."

    "Sure," Buck said with a half smile and a bubbling in his gut.

    He wasn't going to call Eddie. Eddie was busy, and Buck was an adult, and, in the grand scheme of things, his mother dying wasn't anything for anyone to worry about. She was dead, Eddie Diaz could stubbornly restart Buck's heart, but Margaret Buckley was well past the ressusitation point. Eddie was a lot of things (smart, capable, funny, handsome, adorable, so, so, so kind), but he wasn't a necromancer.

    Besides, what had sent him back to Texas was much more important than Buck dead mother.

    --

    Or a story about grief, and love, and all of the complicated emotions in between.
