    Summary

    Buck was curled up in the armchair, eyes closed and focused on his breathing. Ravi came up to him. “How’re you feeling?”

    “Peachy,” he said sarcastically.

    “Do you want something?” Buck shook his head. “Are you hungry? I think we have yogurt, maybe toast?”

    Buck shook his head again, this time in a smaller motion. “I think if anything touches my tongue, I’ll throw up.”

    “What?” He heard called out. The noise made his head pound slightly. He felt Ravi tap him on the shoulder, which he took to mean he should open his eyes.

    He began to sit up, Ravi attempting to support him, though he waved off the help. He planted his feet on the ground and leaned back against the chair. He took a deep breath and looked at his team— they looked at him with concern and mild fear.

    “I’m feeling really nauseous right now,” he paused, “because I just got back from chemotherapy.” Their faces contorted. “Because I have cancer.”

    Buck receives some bad news after going to the doctor at Ravi's recommendation.

    Summary

    Everyone is born with the name of their soulmate on the bottom of their foot.
    Sometimes it's confusing, sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes the universe throws a 'this has never happened before' at you.

    When Chris is born, his soulmark turns Eddie's world upside down; and then he meets Buck, who just confuses everything even more.

    Summary

    Push. Glide. Stop. Push. Stride. Stride. Stop. Breathe. Repeat. Repeat. Push. Push. Push. 
    Buck’s legs are screaming, his shin an inferno under his pads. 
    Ignore. Ignore. Push. Stride. Stride. 
    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
    His body collides with the ice. He extends his arms out in time to catch himself before going headfirst into the boards. The wind is knocked out of him as he sits up, rests, breathes in through his nose and out through his mouth. 
    Don’t over do it, Buck.
    Buck is out of time, is the problem. He’s reminded of it whenever the TV turns on, whenever he opens twitter, opens a sports app. 
    Evan Buckley, golden boy. Season jeopardizing injury. Career jeopardizing injury. Will Evan Buckley ever see the ice again? 
    Golden boy, fallen. 
    A tragedy to the sport of hockey. 

     

    Or, Evan Buckley, star forward for the Los Angeles Kings, suffers an injury in the offseason. Eddie Diaz, forward for the Dallas Stars, is traded to the Los Angeles Kings one month into the season.

    Summary

    It was his most prominent memory of his childhood. Her complaints over his untidy appearance, as if he was ruining their perfect family image. As if Maddie running as soon as she could didn’t stain that. Because Buck—Evan—being a ‘waste of potential’ and a disappointment really put their family on the map of outstanding. The wooden floors of his childhood house were thick, but never solid enough to muffle the acidic words his mother had for him.

    His clothes weren’t spotless. He was always covered in blood, scrapes or bruises. The constant ER visits, neighbours whispering over the rowdy and reckless Buckley child. But his curly hair was the cherry on the shit-pie. In his mother’s eyes that was Buck’s—Evan’s—greatest sin. At least, for twenty-nine years, he thought it was.

     

    Bobby takes Buck home after "Buck Begins" and finds out he has curly hair. They talk about it, in a roundabout way.

    Summary

    They're not bad people, just bad parents.

    At least that's what Buck let Maddie believe. What she didn't know couldn't hurt her.
    If it hurt Buck? Well, he was used to it.
