Summary
When Evan had left the ranch in Montana, wind in his hair and a familiar sort of heartbreak in his bones, the head rancher had given him a little paper bag as a parting gift.
“For safe travels,” he’d said, with a lopsided smile on his face that made Evan really, really want to stay. He still leaves, though, because there’s nothing left for him here, and there is still a world out there where things can be better, he’s sure of it.
In the Jeep, he opens the paper package, letting the thin chain slip into his hands. Hanging from it is a small medallion, flat and circular, inlaid with the image of a man holding a staff, a child on his back.
Saint Christopher, the note slipped alongside it says. To protect your travels.
Buck gets a Saint Christopher medallion on his travels. It changes nothing and everything.

Summary
Remi thinks for a second, her head cocking like a new puppy. "You ever heard of a cracking egg?"
Eddie stares at her like an explanation will start wrapping around her head like lines from a teleprompter. "Is that a puberty thing?"
Her mouth drops open, but she works through a silent thought before nodding so very slowly. "You know what? Yeah, I think it could be. Now, I'm not saying that your kid's egg is cracking, I'm just—," she waves her hands, wiggling her fingers, "y'know, putting it out there."
"Am I supposed to know what that means?"
Or, teenagers are complicated. Chris Diaz is absolutely no exception to that rule.

Summary
“It is,” Buck breathes, relieved. “It’s so normal. We just don’t talk about it! But it’s fine, we all do it.”
Eddie nods along enthusiastically, smile plastered on his face. “Exactly. We all do it. And—” Eddie pauses, smile growing even bigger. “And why don’t you just use mine.”

Or, Buck’s pent up. Eddie offers him a solution. It unravels from there.

Summary
Hen sighs. “Something had to be said before you idiots put us in mortal peril.”
“I’d never do anything to jeopardize our safety on a job! You know that Hen.”
“Maybe not on purpose,” Chim chimes in, “but, see, the thing is, when you flirt with our Buck, his brain turns off. He just bluescreens.”
“You’re flustering the poor boy, Eddie,” Hen adds. “And it’s making him dumb.”
“-er,” Chim adds.
“Wha- Buck isn’t flustered.”
Eddie is flustered. His face feels hot. He takes another sip of his coffee to give his hands something do to, but that only makes him feel warmer. Shit.
Hen levels him with the most deadpan look. “Last week he walked into a stop sign after you called him ‘big boy’ on a call.”
Eddie nearly spits out his coffee.
Or: the one where Eddie subconsciously flirts with Buck without realizing and Buck is actively trying not to have a heart attack at work about it
