    Summary

    The gesture is so tender - so filled with love, and care, and devotion - that Buck can barely catch his breath. He doesn’t want this moment to end…doesn’t ever want Eddie to let go of him. They’re joined now, after all. Even more than they were before. Eddie’s breath is in Buck’s lungs; Buck’s heart is in Eddie’s chest.

    “You breathed for me,” Buck whispers.

    Evan.” Eddie says his name like it’s holy. “I’ve been breathing for you since the day we met.”

    Summary

    Eddie’s house has felt far too quiet in the months since Christopher left, without the sound of video games, or the clack of crutches, or the quiet rumble of Christopher’s voice as he talks to himself while doing his homework. It’s felt empty - every lonely sound echoing back on itself to give the illusion that it isn’t really alone. But, as the door clicks closed behind Buck, the whole place falls completely silent. It’s like the last part of its beating heart has left, and now nothing but an empty shell remains.

    A house is not a home if there is no love living there, and Eddie just sent the last of it packing.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”

    “She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.

    Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.

    or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    “It could be worse,” Buck says.

    Eddie is pacing the length of the hotel room. Buck’s hotel room. The one that they shared last night, because they got married. Drunk married. In Vegas. By fucking Elvis. Jesus fucking Christ. If Eddie wasn’t so hungover he’d worry that the splitting in his head was a brain aneurysm.

    How, Buck? How could it possibly be worse?”

    “We could have married strangers?”

     

    (Or, Eddie and Buck get married, move in together, and then fall in love. In that order. Kind of.)

    Summary

    Following a violent run-in with a witness that leaves Miles considerably injured and unable to remember far more than just the incident that caused it, he's willingly looked after by Phoenix—who's bizarrely doting and tender with him to a degree he can't recall Phoenix ever being before, and who seems to be unaware of the full extent of his injury.

    For the first time in his life, Miles doesn't really know what to do about that.

    (Amnesia fic; takes place a few short months after AA6/Spirit of Justice).
