    Summary

    “I'm gay.”

    He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.

    But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.

    He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.

    in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “Mr Buckley ? This is Miranda Moore, I’m the nurse at Christopher’s school and—”

    “Is he okay ?” Buck blurts out, his heart-rate jumping up.

    “He’s complained of lower abdominal pains paired with vomiting and a mild fever, we called 911 and he’s being transported to Cedars Sinai for suspected appendicitis.”

    Buck’s breath catches in his throat as he turns wide, panicked eyes to Hen. Every eye on the truck is on him. “Oh my god. Uh— I’m coming as soon as I can, okay ? Just— I’ll be here.”

    ***
    Buck’s taking care of Christopher while Eddie is in Texas when Chris gets sick and has to get surgery.

    Summary

    Staring at a trembling boy before him, All Might knows what he would've wanted someone to tell him if he'd asked the Number One Hero if he could've been a Quirkless hero. And if that notebook he signed was anything to go by, a little help from Nedzu and the boy might even surpass him.

    When Midoriya Izuku asks All Might if he can be a hero without a Quirk, the Symbol of Peace says 'Yes.'
