    Summary

    “Yeah, about that.” Harry interrupted, and May sighed. So much for subtlety, she supposed. “You and Eddie.”

    “Are best friends.” He answered, with the finality of a conversation finished.

    Buck might be used to being the annoying little brother, and May might be used to being the tired older sister, but Harry was ready in a way May had to find a little funny.

    “I was going to say super gay.” Harry answered casually.

    Buck sputtered. “I’m bisexual and you know I’m bisexual.”

    “Okay and what’s his excuse?”

    OR -

    Harry and May take it upon themselves to use their weekly Bachelor nights to parent trap Buck and Eddie.

    Summary

    Eddie wants him closer, as close as possible, wants him skin to skin—and that should feel significant, probably. And the fact that it doesn’t feel significant should also be setting off some kind of alarm in his brain, but it doesn’t. It doesn’t feel new, only heightened; his slated list of reasons not to cross the line he didn’t realize he’d been toeing wiped clean in his desperation.

    Summary

    Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.

    A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.

    The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.

    One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.

    Summary

    He’d tried, in the end, he really had. And it had been hard; so damn hard. Would’ve been so much easier to crawl off into the woods like a dying dog and let himself be reclaimed by the wilderness. But, getting them folks out, sending them to safety, doing his best to protect them from the Pinkertons and Dutch’s lunacy and that rat...

    For maybe the first time in his life, there was no doubt in his mind about what was right or wrong, good or evil. He just knew.

    The sunlight warms his face, and he smiles.

    But then he hears footsteps.

    -

    Meanwhile, Charles Smith can’t stop looking back at the mountains to the south, and wondering what it means to be home.

    Summary

    “Best friends,” Eddie repeats the words like they're foreign. Like he’s never heard them before.

    “Yeah, you know that,” Buck insists, he’s tempted to reach out, wants to pull Eddie into him, but he’s not sure if that would help or hurt right now. “We’re BuckandEddie,” he adds for good measure. That’s what everyone always says. It’s an easy answer when they’re acting ways that others deem bizarre.

    Eddie is silent, seemingly processing what Buck just said. He can’t be sure, but Buck feels like he just failed some test he didn’t know he was taking. That was not the right answer.

    “What exactly do you think we’re doing here, Buck?” He demands, gaze steely as he finally meets Buck’s eye. His tone is so cold it sends a shiver down Buck’s spine. Do you know how much Christopher misses you? How could you? You’re not around. All traces of golden syrupy warmth from earlier in the afternoon are gone. “Are you fucking all of your best friends bare?”

    or,

    Buck and Eddie are having platonic best friend sex. Buck's sure of it.
