    Summary

    Geralt’s shoulders were stiff, and his grip on Jaskier’s wrist was like a vise. Between them, the bite mark on Jaskier’s forearm still oozed blood. Just a tiny little puncture. He’d gotten worse from stepping on a sharp rock in camp just last week. The dead fox lay three paces off, its head facing away. From this angle Jaskier couldn’t see whether or not he’d imagined the foam at its mouth.

    Geralt still wouldn’t look at him.

    “Don’t say it,” Jaskier begged one last time.

    “It was rabid,” said Geralt flatly.

    ---

    At long last, Jaskier's luck runs out, and he acquires a mortal wound. It's lucky for him, then, that Geralt is far too selfish to let him die.

    Summary

    There's an insistent tapping on Buck's face, and Buck's eyes drift open back up towards-

    "Eddie," he says, maybe slurring through his name. It doesn't feel right, as if the words are buffering somewhere between his brain and mouth. 

    "Eyes on me," Eddie says, except it splits somewhere down the middle. 

    He has a determined look on his face, the one he wears when he's trying to make sense of a bad call, mouth set and ticked down at the corner. Buck knows that look as surely as he knows how to breathe, the same way his heart knows how to beat. Eddie is gravity, the pull at the center of Buck's world, and even now, when Buck can't find his footing, he can't help but be drawn toward him. 

    Behind Eddie's eyes, Buck sees fear. 

    -

    On the way to a routine call, the 118 engine is involved in a major lateral impact collision. It's confronting for Buck and Eddie, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    This is a story about misery. But, mostly, it’s a story about joy, and learning how to choose it.

    Or, Eddie reckons with returning to a place that makes him miserable, for a kid that makes him whole. There he finds his sisters, a blast from the past, and permission to choose his future.

    “If it were anyone else, he’d have long accepted he’d been friendzoned, but this is Buck. He’s pretty sure that if Buck had to friendzone him, he wouldn’t be this chill about it. He’d probably suggest they go to couples therapy, or offer to launch himself off to the moon to give Eddie any space he might need to get over him.”

    Summary

    “It has been exactly 44 hours since Buck was informed that he is in love with Eddie, and things are going just peachy.

    For example, he’s about to spend the following 24 hours attached at the hip with Eddie at their shared place of employment. Contractually obligated to be in the same room, same engine, same burning building as him and not be weird about it.

    You might even say he’s contractually fucked.”

     

    Or, Buck realizes he’s in love with Eddie and tries not to be weird about it. He does a terrible job.

    Summary

    “I’m not saying that he’s bitchy because he’s gay, I’m saying he’s bitchy,” Eddie retorts. “Like his soul is bitchy. He just also happens to be gay — it’s unrelated. I don’t think you should go. I don’t like him.”

     

    Or, Buck goes on a date with Josh. It's the worst day of Eddie's life.

    “Buck, you’re not allowed to date my dad.”

    Which is an insane thing for Christopher to say, because they’re trapped in this car for another two hours, and Eddie Diaz — Buck’s painfully aware — is straight.

    Eddie looks back and forth between the two of them, bewildered. “What is happening.”
    Buck pats at Eddie’s thigh. “Don’t worry about it, Chris and I have it all figured out. You just sit there and look pretty.”

    “Um. He’s.. well — he has a list. An…agenda.”

    “An agenda?”

    “Yes. Like, you know. It’s a - - it’s a gay agenda,” Buck winces.

    “Great. Okay. So, my son is queer-eyeing me?”

    “I believe that is what’s about to happen, yes.”

    “Wonderful.”

    Or, Christoper hyper-fixates on Queer Eye and takes it out on his freshly gay father. Buck's there, too.

    “Can you open your eyes?”

    “No. I can’t look at you.”

    “Because I’m gay?”

    Buck sighs dramatically.

    “Because you’re pretty. And because you’re gay. Because you’re gay and pretty.”

    “Buck,” Eddie laughs. “Open your eyes.”

     

    Or, Eddie comes out to Buck. Buck panics. Hijinks ensue.

    Summary

    "Come on, Buck. Let it out. I hate this, too. I hate leaving you. Tell me how much you hate it. Yell at me, Buck. Come on, yell at me,” he begs.

    Buck snaps. He pushes off the couch and crowds into Eddie’s space.

    “Is this what you wanted?” He spits, pushing hard enough against Eddie’s chest that he takes a step backwards. “Hmm? You want me to lose it on you?”

     

    Or, Eddie cannot handle Buck pretending to be fine about his move to Texas. He, in fact, refuses to let him.

    “So, uh, you come here often?”

    “Do I come here often?” Buck repeats slowly. He does come here often. As does Eddie. They both come here all the time, at the same time, together.

     

    Or, why ask someone out on a date when you can just take them on one without their knowledge? Sounds flawless to Eddie.

    Or, Eddie doesn't know how to make his listening history private. Buck doesn't know what to do with the words in front of his eyes. Chris cannot believe he has to deal with either of them.

    “Maybe we should bring them to the firehouse,” Buck jokes. “Like mascots.”
    “I, uh, I don’t know if I’m ready for that just yet,” Eddie blushes.
    “Oh, yeah,” he nods, going along with the bit. “You want to like… give them time to settle in?”
    “More so I don’t really want to come out to all of A Shift with a gay Build-A-Bear,” Eddie clarifies.

     

    Or, Eddie builds a very gay Build-A-Bear. Unless you ask Buck. Then it's just a very rainbow ally bear.

    “Sorry, Eddie,” Chimney shrugs. “Brother-in-law out-ranks best friend, but I’ll let you stand next to me.”

    "I don’t like oranges.”
    “Since when?” Eddie frowns. “You used to love oranges.”
    Christopher shrugs. “I don’t like them anymore.”
    And that’s fine, really. Tastes change. Christopher doesn’t have to like oranges.
    It’s just that he does. Christopher loves oranges. Christopher has loved oranges since the first time he tasted one, Eddie watching on over a shaky video call from the desert.

     

    Or, Eddie knows his kid, and his kid loves oranges. Buck knows both of them better than Eddie realized. He shows it in various citrus-based ways.
