    Summary

    They both know this is it. That beyond this barren landscape, whatever they found here will cease to exist.

    It was born here and it’ll die here, and Eddie will spend the rest of his life missing it, but he’s not allowed to take it with him. They have to bury it - dig six feet down and submerge it in the sun-scorched earth so she can remember it for them. So she can cradle it and keep it safe, where no one can ever touch it. Where no one can ever taint it.

     

    (Buck and Eddie meet in Afghanistan. It changes everything.)

    Summary

    There's an itch between his shoulder blades when Buck talks about Tommy, when Buck asks Eddie if he wants to join the two of them for a drink after work, when Buck smiles at a text message and Eddie knows it's from Tommy. His stomach had been twisted in knots for half of Maddie and Chim's wedding, watching the two of them.

    There's only one awful, inevitable conclusion: Eddie isn't actually as comfortable with Buck's coming out as he thought he was. Which is, frankly, unacceptable.

    Summary

    “The good news is, none of the substances any of you were exposed to were particularly dangerous. They were mostly trying to make psychedelic drugs in that little kitchen lab of theirs. That’s why they were growing mushrooms,” said Athena.

    “Mostly?” asked Eddie.

    “That’s the bad news. They were also trying to formulate an…aphrodisiac.”

    When Eddie gets exposed to an experimental aphrodisiac on a call, he realizes there’s only one person he trusts to help him get through it: Buck.
