    Summary

    The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.

    “God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”

    Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

    Summary

    There’s mud on his hands. There’s mud on his hands and he has to dig deeper, quicker, because Eddie is forty feet beneath him and surely he can’t breathe because the well is gone and Eddie is gone and Buck can’t follow him.

    “Eddie,” his throat feels raw, the words wrong to his ears, “Eddie.”

    “Yeah,” Eddie says, holding onto him, “I'm right here, Buck, I’m right here.”

    “I can’t—” Buck breaks off, his trembling, dirty hand in the air and Eddie must understand because he takes Buck's hand without question and pulls it to his chest, right over his heart.

    {or five times Buck needs to feel Eddie's heartbeat and the one time Eddie needs to feel his}

    Summary

    “I want to start a garden.”

    “Oh.” That is pretty much the last thing he was expecting.

    “A vegetable garden. We can grow our own food.”

    “Okay,” Eddie says, apprehensively, as he thinks back to every plant he’s ever killed in his life. “You know I have a black thumb right? I don’t know how much I’d be able to help with this.”

    Christopher rolls his eyes. Eddie still can’t get used to that, and has absolutely no idea where he gets that from, no matter what his family says. “You’re not allowed to do any of it. Buck’s going to help.”
    -
    Buck and Christopher start a garden. Eddie is in love.

    Summary


    Eddie running his fingers along Buck’s split skin and muscle should be painful to him, but Buck's mouth falls open like he’s never felt a greater pleasure. He falls forward into Eddie, forehead resting on his collarbone, and Eddie lets his fingers explore. Buck is burrowing his face in closer to Eddie, gathering Eddie’s shirt in his fists, doing everything to press himself closer and pull Eddie in closer in return.

     

    He traces the outlines of the wounds. As he does so, they disappear under his fingertips. Eddie closes his eyes and imagines himself extinguishing a fire, advancing to the core of it as he knocks it down. He presses his fingers into the center of each strip of Buck’s pain, listens to Buck gasp, and then there’s skin. He runs his hands everywhere just to double check. There’s just skin and raised scar tissue.

     

    Buck breathes.

     

    Buck is breathing.

    Eddie has never believed in God, but if there is one person on this Earth who has reached divinity, it would be Buck.

    A wing fic.
