    Summary

    “It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”

     

    “So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”

     

    or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

    Summary

    He stares at her for a moment, the ghost of his laughter clinging to his lips. His full, rose-pink lips. And then he opens them, and out comes the sweetest honey. “May I have the next dance, Miss Sharma?” Kate’s mouth drops, and she feels a flush zip up her spine. Never mind that she really, truly does want to dance with this stranger, wants to feel those arms brush against her, his hands around her own, have him smile at her.

    “What makes you think I would accept the offer from a rake as such as yourself?”

    He tucks his chin to his chest, and the way his grin makes her heart thump is really, terribly, unfortunate.

    “I assure you, Miss Sharma, any liberties shared with my sister are not as cunning or as evil as you are imagining, and what with my mother out hunting her this very moment, I believe there are bigger issues to worry ourselves over for Eloise's sake.” He finishes, leaning slightly in, “wouldn’t you agree?”

    ***

    Anthony arrives to the season a little later than expected, and Kate finds herself charmed by a pleasing smile, what chance did they have? Anthony isn't looking for a wife, but may have accidentally found one, anyway.

    Summary

    There’s a nudge at his hand, a careful tap that finally makes him look up for the first time since they got there. Evan wipes his face hastily, trying to sniffle up the water in his eyes before anyone can see. He doesn’t want to cry, but sometimes he just can’t help it.

    Because that’s his brother. That’s his big brother, in a hospital bed, with dark smudges under his eyes and a really bad cough that keeps getting worse, but he’s smiling at Evan like it’s all going to be okay.

    All Evan heard was the machine. He counted the sounds, hoarded them, and wished he could just sit there and listen to the proof of his brother’s heart beating forever.

    Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep –

    ***

    Daniel needed more. More surgeries, more transfusions, more time. Evan couldn't give that to him, but maybe, years later, thanks to Eddie and Christopher and Bobby, he'll realize. He was always enough for Daniel.

    Summary

    He’s leaving. Eddie’s leaving and Buck is trying. He really is. But it’s hard to keep a smile on his face when it feels like half of his soul has been carved out of his body and he’s bleeding out in the kitchen they’ve spent so many nights in and trying to keep a supportive look plastered on his face while the blood spells out the words on the floor. Don’t go. Please don’t leave me too.

    -OR-

    5 times Buck puts on a brave face while Eddie gets ready to move to Texas, plus the one time he just can’t do it anymore.

    Summary

    “Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.

    “Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”

    ***

    When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.
