Summary
He's not an idiot — not about this stuff, anyway. Eddie knows he's petty. Remembers, with sparks of undimmed indignation, every shitty little glitterboy comment from the boy in fourth grade. Remembers, still, the sweet satisfaction of making the baseball team in his place.
Eddie always preferred dancing to ball, but, hey. Whatever it takes.
He's mostly grown out of it — petty revenge and teenage sons don't mesh, that's for sure — but there's always the odd moment.
There's always Buck.

Summary
Ravi's always positioned himself on the edge of it all, an outlier, easily discounted. The Spiders Georg of the A shift if the spiders were just — a regular shift.
He doesn't know where he's going with this metaphor, only;
Ravi hugs Hen's wife in the parking lot of hell on Earth, and the axis shifts.
[Or, Bobby dies. Eddie hates him. Ravi's confused. AKA the Ravi fic.]

Summary
Buck is moving to a one bed somewhere closer to the station, generously offered up by Ravi when the sheer logistics of three very nearly full grown men in one very small house had reared their ugly head. He's 25 minutes away in traffic. Less at night. He's not crossed state lines. He's not gone.
Eddie lets his fingers curl into his palm, one, two, three, fist, and wonders why it feels like it anyway.

Summary
“Another new guy?” Buck asks, rolling his eyes, “What nightmare have you got for us this time, hmm? They’re already late to the briefing, so it’s not exactly a great start.”
“Actually,” comes a voice from behind them, making Buck startle, “I got here yesterday morning, already been briefed.”
He’s the kind of Hollywood handsome that people generally aren’t in real life, all warm tanned skin and big brown eyes, and a perfectly coiffed sweep of dark brown hair. He’s walking down the main staircase from the floor above, and somehow it looks like a scene from a movie. It honestly makes Buck feel a little sick. Who the fuck does he think he is?
———
An Inception AU, or, the 118 are a dreamsharing team, and Buck's not convinced they need a new pointman, let alone this guy. Despite himself, they end up real close.

Summary
Buck’s not really sure what to say here, so he doesn’t say anything. For a minute they stand there in total silence, the TV muted, and looking at Eddie – the defeated slump of his shoulders, the hand over his mouth, the eyes staring blankly at nothing – it’s like those modern art installations one of Buck’s exes used to take him to: Man, with broken heart.
Man, eviscerated.
Buck’s no good with people being sad around him – it always feels like his responsibility, like if they aren’t smiling it’s his fault, and this time it really is his fault, at least partially, so he offers, “You can beat me up, if it would make you feel better.”

Summary
"Too bad we can't just date each other."
Eddie laughs. "What?"
"No, I'm serious!" Buck sets his beer down, the better to gesture with both hands, face lighting up, and Eddie just—he really loves the guy, okay. Ridiculous as he is. "It would be so much easier! You wouldn't have to introduce a new person to Chris—he already likes me anyway—and you could tell Pepa so she'll stop setting you up on dates that don't go anywhere—"
"And what would you get out of this?" Eddie asks, grinning.

Summary
Like he’s been electrocuted, the ghost jolts backwards and his hand spasms in the air, like he wanted to reach out to Evan. Evan holds his polar bear teddy bear closer to his chest, the one that Maddie got for him at their school’s book fair, and waits.
The ghost waits, too.
Evan’s never been the most patient kid, though. “Are you lost?” Evan sits back, and the ghost starts to glisten, shimmering at the edges and looks close to disappearing from sight. “Are you going to keep coming back?” When Evan doesn’t get any response, sees nothing from the ghost to show he heard him, he asks one more question.
“Will you be my friend?”
And then he’s gone.
The window is still cracked open, and he still feels the breeze twist in his hair.
***
Evan Buckley was born with a ghost quietly haunting him. A ghost was born to quietly haunt Evan Buckley. Evan Buckley's never been able to stay quiet for too long, though.

Summary
Buck dreams of an invisible boy.
It’s a dream he’s had all his life, always the same. A well lit room, pale whites and blues, a window open with a fresh breeze, and a boy in a bed with a smile on his face and sunlight streaming right through him. His hand is in the air like he’s reaching towards something, and Buck can see through it to the leaves on the tree outside. He realizes that the something he’s reaching towards is Buck himself, and he tries to reach back, but their hands never touch before he wakes.
Buck opens his eyes in the dark of the bunk room, station alarm going off overhead, and rolls out of bed.
