    Summary

    “It’s yours,” Eddie had finally said, looking down at it for a moment before handing the phone to him. “I… There’s a lot of stuff you might want to go through on there.”

    Buck frowned, confused, but when he looked down at the screen, he saw it.

     

    [250 missed calls]
    [635 unread messages]

     

    “Wha–”

    “A lot of people used it as a… A way to communicate with you while you were gone.”

    Eddie’s voice was tense. Buck couldn’t stop staring, reading the top message from Eddie over and over again, the only one that he could see. It didn’t make sense.

    “You don’t have to go through it all but… We missed you, ba– Buck.” Buck slowly looked up from his phone, and there was that look again. Eddie had reached out, the same way he had when Buck came back, fingers brushing across his face gently. Buck wanted to melt into it. He did, later, but in that moment, he had to keep himself together.

    “I want to.”

    “Okay,” Eddie’s hand had dropped. Buck’s skin felt cold. “Come get me when you’re done.”

    OR

    Buck gets blipped. Eddie's left behind. A love story told through what Eddie did in his absence.

    Summary

    “My mom died,” Buck says flatly, like reciting a fact he read somewhere. He adds a small shrug, as if that explains it. It doesn’t feel real. The words sit in the air, weightless and strange.

    Eddie frowns. Bobby shifts closer.

    “Are you okay?” Bobby asks gently.

    Buck blinks at him, then gives a quick nod, too fast to be convincing. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is thin, brittle. “Did you want me to start lunch? I was thinking maybe that cheesy broccoli bake.”

    Eddie’s brows knit together. “Buck…” he says carefully, voice low and steady.

    “Or chili,” Buck continues, his hands smoothing out a crease in his jacket like that’s the thing that matters. “I think we’ve got enough ground beef.”

    “Buck,” Eddie says again, firmer this time.

    Buck’s hands still. He finally looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.

    Oh.

    His mom died.

    or

    Margaret Buckley dies, and Buck tries to navigate grief, develops a complex relationship with apple pie, while Eddie, as always, is there.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    It's been several days since Hawke arrived in Skyhold. Cullen would prefer he hadn't come at all.
