    Summary

    “Buck, seriously.” Eddie catches his eye, staring intently, attempting to beam the anxiety straight into Buck’s brain. “I know we’re both playing it cool, but… How are you not freaking out right now? I’m freaking out right now.” 

    Buck quirks an eyebrow. “I thought you didn’t panic.” 

    “I don’t,” Eddie insists. “But I woke up in the wrong body this morning, and I had to—” He lowers his voice, ducking closer to Buck. “I touched your dick, man. Which—you know.” 

    A violation of boundaries. A line that can’t be uncrossed. Something Eddie feels deeply guilty about.

    “You touched my dick?” Buck asks, approximately one billion decibels louder than necessary. 

    The room around them stills.

    Or: Buck and Eddie switch bodies. Chaos ensues.

    Summary

    From behind his back, Chris reveals his old, ratty Superman logo shirt. It’s way too small for him now, but, for some reason, he’s never thrown it away.

    “This shirt has superpowers,” he whispers to Theo. "It keeps all the bad dreams away. It doesn’t fit me anymore, but I don’t want all the superpowers to go to waste. Do you think maybe you could look after it for me?” 

    Theo nods emphatically. “Yes,” he whispers. He looks up at him, his tiny face sure and determined. “I can do it, Chris.” 

     

    Or, Theo has nightmares. Chris works a hand-me-down shirt-shaped miracle.

    Summary

    “I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.

    Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”

    “Buck, I—”

    “She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”

    -----

    A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

    Summary

    So in the middle of Eddie’s dining room, with his brain to mouth filter non-existent (as per usual), Buck blurts out, “Marry me.”

    Eddie sits straight up, looking at him with eyes wide as saucers.

    “Excuse me?”

    “W-well, just think about it. If we get married I can add you and Chris to my insurance policy and that solves your problem.”

    Eddie’s mouth forms a perfect little ‘o’. Buck waits patiently for the floor to open up and swallow him whole.

    When the ground doesn’t do as he’d hoped he realizes he has to say something else. “Obviously, w-we don’t have to,” he’s quick to assure. “But if we did it would be platonic, of course, because you’re straight and–” he pauses, praying for another rogue stroke of lightning. Anything to put him out of his misery right now. “-and like I know that I’m bi now, but this wouldn’t be like that y’know? It would just be two friends helping each other out.” He’s rambling, the words won’t stop tumbling out. “Like a friends with benefits type situation! E-except you know not those kinds of benefits! Like actual benefits! Health and dental.”

    or,

    Eddie is moving to Texas, losing his insurance, and marrying Buck all very heterosexually and platonically.

    Summary

    “Are you homophobic?”

    “What?”

    “Will you be my boyfriend?”

    “Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.

    “Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

    About a week after starting back at the 118, and about three weeks before he was supposed to start getting a steady check again, Buck quietly moved out of his loft—

    Summary

    Buck remembers reading something once. He’s not sure where or when, and he’s not even sure who said it. But he’ll never forget the words. He’ll never forget the way they burrowed beneath his skin like an arrow aiming straight for his heart. Those words had made him ache back then, but now the memory of them is ripping him apart.

    Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.

    He’d always known it would be Eddie who would walk away first, but he hadn’t expected it to go like this. He hadn’t expected it to hurt quite so bad.

     

    (Or, five times Buck thought Eddie would leave, and the one time he knew he would stay.)

    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.)

    "Hello!" A voice calls up from below.

    Buck looks down the glass of his window. The entire fire department appears to be looking up at him. There are, notably, so many mustaches.

    “Hi!” Buck yells back, motioning at the giant ladder. “Everything okay?”

    “LAFD!” A voice calls back. “Just a practice exercise! No cause for alarm!”

     

    Or, hot firefighters keep parading past his window. What's Buck supposed to do but flirt?

    Summary

    “Chim. Weird question?”

    Chimney’s chair creaks. Buck cranes his head over the back of the couch and watches him straighten up, pop his back, close the folder.

    “You only ever ask me weird questions,” he says, and then crosses the loft to sit in one of the armchairs. He levels Buck with a look that’s way too knowing for the amount of words they’ve exchanged. “What’s up?”

    He takes a breath.

    “What does it feel like to be a dad?”

    in which buck is used to wanting things he's not allowed to have; it's just that he never thought being a father would be one of them.

    “So…” She started with a mischievous grin on her face, “Relationship?”

    He looked at her puzzled for a minute before it dawned on him and his face burned, hot and red, blood rushing to his cheeks. “W-what? No. We’re just friends, Maddie.”

    “Okayyy,” She dragged out, clearly not believing him, sending him a look that was equal parts amused and knowing.

    “Don’t do that.”

    “I’m not doing anything,” She defended, smile still pulling at the corners of her lips.

    It’s a disaster. There’s nothing for Eddie to do now but rip the Bandaid off.

    “I’vebeenlookingatyourGooglehistory,” he says, all at once.

    Buck blinks. “You’ve been what?”

    “I’ve been—” Eddie breaks off with a huff, and then forces his eyes back up to Buck’s. “I went to the Google home page,” he starts again. “To search the thing about the coupling nut. But then when I clicked on the search bar, the recent history was not mine, because—”

    A look of comprehension has begun to dawn on Buck’s face, suddenly.

    “Because I was logged in on the iPad,” he says slowly.

    - in other words: the slow-moving catastrophe of buck and eddie sharing a search history.

    Summary

    Chris wants his dad. He wants his bed. But he can't have those yet, and he and Dad never really text because if Dad’s not working they’re usually together or one of them is too busy to text, so texting Dad feels weird, but Buck… He can text Buck.

    do you think it was a good thing for Pandora to keep hope in the box?

    The little dots pop up immediately, which Chris wasn’t expecting.

    I’m not sure. I do know that it technically wasn’t a box, it was a pithos, which is like a big jar they used for storage. Box is a mistranslation, but it became so widely used that we all just roll with it now.

    It’s a very classic Buck response. The dots keep going.

    On that note, “hope” isn’t an exact translation either. Another way that people translate it is “deceptive expectation.” Hope isn’t necessarily deceptive, and we tend to use it in a positive way, so it’s maybe not the BEST word to use, but I guess in English we don’t have a better one for “deceptive expectation” and “hope” sounds pithier.

    Deceptive expectation. Huh.
