Summary
Eddie is made of shattered glass. Not like a mosaic - not something broken made beautiful. No, Eddie is all sharp points and jagged edges; he’s hurt everyone that’s ever tried to hold him.
But Buck…Buck holds him like it’s easy. Like there’s nothing else in the world he would rather be doing. He holds Eddie like he’s precious, cradling him between gentle hands with a kind of reverence that is usually reserved for something holy. Something god-like. And then Eddie catches a glimpse of him and Buck in the mirror next to Buck’s bed, and he thinks oh. He thinks maybe this is as close to heaven as a man like him will ever get.
So no one can blame him for wanting to enjoy it while it lasts.

Summary
Mrs. Young smiled. “As teachers, we don't get to sit down and talk one on one with each child as much as they deserve. This assignment always grants me a beautiful insight to my students. Their proudest accomplishments, their darkest moments, or even some facts I've never known.”
She lifted a hand to her heart. “So with that, I would like all of you hear from one of the most beautiful essays I've had the pleasure of reading, from one of the-” she sighed. “-funniest kids I've met. Please welcome Christopher Diaz.”
...Christopher smiled into the microphone. "My name is Christopher Diaz. Here's my essay."
"Dear abandoning dead Mom."
The silence from the audience was deafening.
"Oh god." Eddie whispered beside him.
**OR**
Chris gets an award for Student Performance night!

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?)

They Bless Daniel, and they Curse Evan.
Twenty-two years later, Maddie and Daniel Buckley learn that their parents lied when they claimed that their baby brother died in a car accident. After two years of fruitless searching, they decide to make a podcast to see if anyone else can help them find him.
That same year, Evan Doe joins Firehouse 118.

Evan Doe is not made to be loved.He knows this. Everyone who meets him learns pretty quick, too. The Curse makes damn sure he doesn't have any wiggle room.
"You will lose everyone who loves you." He was always doomed to be alone.

Summary
At the end of their first date Shannon had kissed his cheek, her mouth soft and cold and smelling like strawberry-kiwi lipgloss, and she’d said, you’re not like any of the other boys, are you, but she'd said it like it was a compliment.
He doesn’t know why he’s remembering that now. He hasn’t thought about it in years and years.-
Eddie processes. It doesn't go all that well.
