    Summary

    Neil tiptoes out of the bedroom, bare feet silent on the cold, wood floor. He’s thrown a hoodie on in concession of the frost on the windows, but he still shivers slightly. The air is dry and sharp on his skin, scars aching as winter greedily wrings every last drop of moisture from it.

    He flexes his fingers gingerly. He rolls his neck until he hears it crack.

    Only in winter do his bones feel as brittle as glass.

     
    AKA: A cozy, winter day in the life of Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard in their apartment after college.

    Summary

    To be honest, Andrew is still surprised this is happening to him. After all, he’d only accepted the stupid deal so that Aaron would be brave enough to ask Katelyn out. He hadn’t expected Neil to bother speaking to him, much less say yes.

    But now, here he is. About to go on a date with Neil Josten – one of the most mysterious, popular, and drop-dead gorgeous kids in his school.

    It’s the best day of Andrew’s life – isn’t it? Because the hardest part is over. Now he gets to enjoy a date with the very boy he’s been crushing on for the past two years. A date that just happens to be the first one he’s had in his entire life.

    Nothing could go wrong – right?

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.

    Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)

    And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)

    It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
    --
    Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.

    It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.
