Summary
Buck's eyes are sapphire dark, flitting across Eddie's face as if searching for something buried in his expression. His pink lips part, a breath escaping to dissolve in the cool night air. Eddie’s pulse leaps, and the words that died in his throat suddenly fill his mouth, forming a single sentence. Come home with me.
-
Eddie dates Marisol, desires Buck, and lies to both of them about it.

Summary
Sometimes, Eddie feels like a shook up can of Coke. Or maybe Dr. Pepper, which has that medicinal taste beneath all that cane sugar, the bitterness of children's cough syrup. Sometimes he feels like his skin is fragile aluminum and his insides are a billion bubbles of CO2, ready to expand and explode and push everything right out of him.
OR
Buck tries to leave the 118. Eddie has something to say about it.

Summary
There wasn’t any light pollution anymore, not since the world ended. It made the night sky look different; wider, almost. As Daryl laid there, his eyes found Sagittarius, blinking at him from just above the trees. The bowman. The survivor. The archer.
How often had he stared at the sky as a kid, as a young adult, and not noticed that constellation? He didn’t need its points to navigate, so his gaze had passed over it, cast it as insignificant. Now, it was like those stars were engraved in his soul, chiseled into his bones, branded into his skin. When Carol pointed it out, when she grinned up at him like he’d hung that damn constellation himself, it became him. He was Sagittarius.

How does one cope? Six thousand years of living in his light, leeching off of it, sunning himself in it, only to be plunged back into darkness.

Summary
Kaz doesn’t move from his chair, but his mind travels miles. To the icy waters of Fjerda, to the Ice Court. To the Menagerie, when he first saw her, to the Geldrenner Hotel and all her brown skin just a hairsbreadth away.
If she lived still, he would shed his armor. He would say everything he was too afraid to before, all the saccharine endearments and lovesick pleas to keep her in place. He would touch and take what she gives, all of it, even if it makes him choke on sea water and fight to remain conscious. She could have all of him, every crooked and broken and rotted part.OR
A knock at the door in the dead of night. Word of a plundering off the coast of Fjerda—a Kerch ship against a Ravkan one—with only the latter sailing away. No survivors.
Kaz seeks revenge. Revenge finds him first.

Summary
“Buck,” he says. Quiet. He keeps leaning forward until his forehead bumps against the glass. “You gotta—you gotta listen to me, okay?”
Buck’s shaking his head before Eddie’s even finished with his sentence. “No, don’t—don’t start. Please.”
...or, Eddie’s in the lab.

Summary
“We need a safe word,” Buck says. “You know, to make things as clear as possible.”
“I feel like no works just fine,” Eddie says.
Buck lets out a breath, because, sure, it probably will, but he needs assurance here. He needs something straightforward, simple, maybe something easier than Eddie telling him no. Maybe something easier than Eddie saying it’s too much. He’s never been great at that. “Just, humor me, okay? Communication is key with stuff like this.”
Eddie’s laugh is soft, kind of incredulous, but he meets Buck’s eyes, and there’s a relenting fondness in them. “You think, what, you’re gonna be so good it’s gonna scramble my brain out of knowing how to say no?”
An answering laugh tumbles out of Buck, peppered with the exasperation at the back of his throat. “I think this is new for you, and I think you should have options.”
OR
Eddie has to use the safe word.

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
The urge to cradle his face in his hands, and press kind words into his skin, is stronger than any ounce of annoyance he could ever muster for Buck.
He thinks it’s why he’s so miserable about it all. Buck deserves nothing but the best, and Eddie has never been the best.
He fucked up being a kid. Fucked up being an adult. Fucked up being a son, a brother, a husband, a dad. A friend.
Buck would have noticed. Eddie should have noticed.
Eddie goes through the motions.

Summary
“I get used to it, I guess. Kind of. After a while,” Eddie says. Then, very quietly, “I’m just, uh, sensitive.”
“Oh,” Buck says. Eddie's just sensitive. Eddie, his best friend, who he has now seen when he comes. Who comes in under a minute if he isn’t getting some on the regs. This is – this is – interesting.
Love and premature ejaculation.
