Summary
Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”
It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.
The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.
Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

Summary
“I’m coming,” Derek calls, shrugging on a sweater. The first few days of March had been warm, but the weather has turned in the last week - winter's last ‘fuck you’ - and Derek is expecting the icy blast as the warm air rushes out the front door. “What—” His breath freezes in his throat.
“Hey there, Sourwolf.”
Stiles is standing on the front porch— Derek’s front porch— his right hand waved in a half wave.
“Stiles?” Derek almost takes a step back. “What are you— how?”
~
Two years after Derek runs from Beacon Hills, Stiles turns up at his front door looking for his own escape. What follows is a story of adventure, healing and finding a place to call home.

Summary
“I want you to be in complete control. Things happen or don’t happen on your say. I don’t ever want to feel like I’m coercing you. I started things this time and I kept pushing. I couldn’t let myself keep going. Consent. Control. I want you to have those things.”
That’s not how things work and they both know it. Derek can’t renounce all of his responsibility and expect that to solve his trauma, all of their insecurities, and the strange, teetering imbalance between them. It’s just avoidance and denial. But Stiles will take it because he can’t think of anything else to do. To him it has always been this simple: Derek wants him, he wants Derek, and they’ll make it work however they can.
(Derek and Stiles break down their defenses. The Nemeton comes to life with blood on its rings. And an avenging angel pays a visit.)
