    Summary

    Ilya barely manages to swerve in time to avoid turning the Hollander-Marleau collision into a three-man pileup. He watches as Marleau stands up and apologizes to Shane — Ilya has no idea if it was a clean hit, but from Marleau’s face, he’s pretty sure it was accidental. And then Ilya waits for Shane to get up.

    He doesn’t move.

    Marleau glances at him as Ilya skates up to Shane, putting a hand on his shoulder as he says, “Hollander?” When he gets no response, he says it again, this time louder and with a steadily rising sense of dread. “Hollander, come on, get up.”

    Summary

    See! All of that was normal. Expected. Unremarkable in the day in the life of two best friends whose favorite kid in the whole wide world was coming back!

    Except Eddie was still smiling at his phone dazedly like the Cheshire Cat, so lost in joy, Joy, JOY, that the next thing Buck knew, Eddie was leaning in to kiss him briskly on the lips with an, "Alright, baby. Just lock up."

    Buck froze. Dumbstruck as he stared after Eddie, who was distractedly rushing out the door.

    "I'm sure Frank will set me straight. I'll be sure to let you know if I have any big revelations."

    Or, Eddie has no idea he's shown his cards and Buck makes it his mission to get Eddie to allow himself to be happy.

    Summary

    “How did you get home from the hospital?”

    “Took an uber.”

    “Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”

    “I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”

    ---

    The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

    Summary

    “As I’ve said five times now, you are my best friend. In the entire universe, for the rest of time. If you could get best friend married, I’d best friend marry you, okay? Can you please chill out?”

    Buck blinks. “You’d best friend marry me?”

    Eddie groans. “Are you only hearing every second word I say?”

    “We should - - we should do that. That’s - - Eddie, we should do that.”

     

    Or, Buck is jealous. He platonically proposes about it.

    Summary

    Tim gets very, very good at hiding. He gets even better at photography. 
    The thing he gets best at? 
    Talking to the ghosts.

    ————

    Jason Todd stands tall on shaking legs, his arms full of another boy, thinner, with closed eyes and ghost-gray skin. Bloody hands, absolutely covered in dirt--so is Jason, now that Alfred thinks of it--

    ”Alfie,” Jason croaks. “Alfie, help. I think he’s dying.”

    ”Oh Good Lord in Heaven,” Alfred chokes out, flings the door wide, and pulls them both in.

    —————

    In which Tim is magic, secrets are kept, prey is stalked, and the world might just be put a bit more to rights before the end.
