Summary
“Why the fuck are you even in this loop? This day isn’t about you.”
“Well, I die,” Eddie comments idly, not sounding as offended as he maybe should be. “Haven’t you heard? I’m always dying.”
“That’s not funny.”
Eddie shrugs, not really agreeing or disagreeing. It’s a few seconds before he says, eyes still closed, “Maybe I’m here so you’re not alone.”

Summary
eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.
except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.
it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.
meanwhile, the world goes on.
(or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

Summary
“You know why, Mads,” Buck says. “I can’t—I can’t just come back and pretend that nothing happened. That I didn’t betray everyone’s trust.”
“But they forgive you,” Maddie says, and she frowns into the camera, lips pinching together. “You know they forgive you, right?”
And Buck—he does know, knows that they forgave him the moment he apologized, but the thing is—
The thing is, Buck isn’t quite sure he forgives himself yet.
or, after the lawsuit, buck returns to los angeles to see maddie. seeing eddie too—well, that’s just inevitable.
