    Summary

    “We were friends in high school,” Eddie says, and the words seem to warp in his mouth with how much he’s not saying. “We had a fight, then Shannon got pregnant and we stopped talking. It’s the first time I’ve seen him in years. Probably the last time I'll see him in my life. Okay?”

    “Eddie, I don’t know what you think ‘friends’ means, but that was not friendship I saw.”

    *

    In which Eddie keeps secrets and Buck is incredibly normal and rational and even brave about his reaction to this.

    Summary

    "You’re acting like you’re not going to have to miss me,” Buck says, pressing the bruise. “Like I’ll be able to come over whenever I want, crash at your place when I get too tired, like you’re not leaving the timezone.”

    “Yeah, well I’m trying to keep you in my life,” Eddie bites out, “and you’re acting like this is some kind of permanent goodbye.”

    “This is goodbye, Eddie,” Buck retorts, his jaw tense. “You’re leaving.”

    *

    In which Eddie is delusional, Buck is defeated, and they are both handling the move well.

    Summary

    “Yeah um,” the broadest of the three looked at his badge, “Buckley, huh?” An odd smirk settling on his face. “That’s handy.” Buck’s about to question what that means when the man holding his side drops his arm, revealing a handgun, pointing directly at Buck’s chest.

    A quiet afternoon at the firehouse goes sideways when things take a violent turn.

    Summary

    Moonlight slips through the blinds, both brightening the room in a way that creates a haze of greyish midnight blue and casts lines of shadows across the room. Buck’s side of the bed is nearest to the window, which means he’s facing Eddie’s side of the bed— an empty one at that.

    Doubt clouds Buck’s muddled brain, and his eyebrows wrinkle in confusion. There’s no reason for Eddie to be behind him— none that make sense at least— but his hope gets the better of him.

    “Eddie?” he croaks out, starting to tilt his head backward.

    “Not quite,” the deep voice of an unknown man says.


    Buck and Eddie have just started moving into their new house when trouble in the form of two cruel intruders finds its way into their home in the middle of the night.

    Summary

    It was real. It had happened. It had happened to Buck, and to Eddie, and to see it again…to be confronted with it so abruptly, without any time to steel himself against the memories of that night? Eddie had almost collapsed to his knees then and there.

    He saw someone hanging from a ladder truck, and he saw Buck. It didn’t matter that, logically, he knew better, or that the weight in his hands wasn’t his best friend. It didn’t matter that the guy was some stunt double named Reed. Because, as he’d scaled the ladder, he’d felt Buck’s name bubbling up inside of him. He’d had to swallow it back down so he didn’t scream it, like he had done back then. Back when it was Buck’s life quite literally hanging in the balance. When it had felt like Eddie’s was, too.
