    Summary

    It starts as a mistake. A joke. Something that doesn’t mean anything.

    Eddie’s birthday ends.
    A midnight kiss.
    Buck’s birthday begins.

    They do it every year.
    Over.
    And over.
    And over.

    For nine years.
    Every year.
    The same person.

    Some years are easy.
    Some are messy.
    And some… shouldn’t have happened.

    Summary

    Buck's not sure what he expected: silence, most definitely, perhaps some localized pain from the burns and the force of the blast.

    Not this.

    He can't hear the beeping of the machines or the raised voices of the nurses and doctors. He can't hear Eddie or Maddie or anyone he knows trying to find out what's happening over the chaos. He can't hear anything at all except the ringing, the ringing, the ringing.

    ...

    After an incident at work leaves Buck near-completely deaf, Buck and Eddie have to navigate a new version of life while also ignoring the giant elephant in the room.

    Summary

    Eddie was standing in the middle of the dorm with wild eyes, looking panic-stricken, clutching a crying, swaddled baby to his chest.

    For a long moment, Buck just blinked at him, trying to process what he was seeing.

    “You’re holding a baby,” he eventually blurted out.

    or

    Step one: Become enemies with your college roommate. Step two: Start raising a baby together. Step three: ... Good luck.

    Summary

    Between viewings, Buck finds himself lingering in the quiet moments, the spaces between rushing from one open house to another. Sitting in the Jeep, engine idling, he watches Eddie frowning at the radio as he struggles to connect to the aux, catching Chris’s reflection as he fills Buck and Eddie in on the ever-changing social dynamics of his DnD group. His chest tightens with the thought about what he’s leaving behind.

    He thinks of mornings in the South Bedford house, Eddie making coffee in his kitchen with the old, outdated machine he still insists on using despite its tendency to burn the grounds, Chris half-asleep at the table as he blearily spoons cereal into his mouth, glasses askew and hair mussed, and Buck feeling like he belongs. Like he’s stitched into the fabric of their lives.

    or

    Eddie sabotages apartment viewings, Buck becomes a dad, and Chris is a teenager.

    Summary

    A winter jacket wasn't something Eddie Diaz had ever needed to own, the heat of El Paso never having dropped low enough in all of his 18 years of living there to necessitate such a thing, but that was the thing; he wasn't in El Paso anymore.

    He was in London, England.

    or

    The one where I send Eddie to study in London and he meets a very interesting photography student.
