    Summary

    Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.

    The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'

    And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.

    She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.

    Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

    Summary

    “Ali, hey, what’s up?” He hasn’t heard from her since she left LA right after breaking-up with him. He had known it was coming from the day he’d been released from the hospital, he supposes if he’s thankful for anything it’s that she at least waited until he could work out how to mostly cope on his own before she split.

    “Can you come to Cedars Sinai?” There’s nothing else in the call, Ali sounding tired but not scared or hurt.

    “Are you okay?” He’s already turning towards the stairs to jog down them, ignoring the mild twinge in his leg as he picks up speed. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

    ---
    Following the arbitration meeting, Ali drops a bombshell in Buck's lap. Now he has to navigate the future with no job, no support and a newborn baby.

    It's just as well he's got more friends and family than he realised.

    Buddie Bingo 'Family' fill.

    Summary

    Something about the new guy irked Eddie. Something familiar about him that Eddie couldn’t place. He was an enigma, secrets hidden in that blank stare. Who was this mysterious man, and where did he learn to do those things? Where had Eddie seen him before?

    “You can have my back any day,” Eddie offered, silently willing Buck to read between the lines and hear Eddie really saying that he knew. That Eddie wanted to trust him.

    Bobby returned before Buck could reply. “Nice work, fellas. Glad you both made it out of there.”
     
    “Guy’s a professional, sir. Was never really worried,” Buck smiled.
     
    He could see Bobby about to nag Buck about the honorifics when the grenade detonated, still in the ambulance. Bobby startled and whirled around to face the explosion. Eddie had barely flinched, but Buck hadn’t so much as twitched - just watched the wreckage burn with a far off look in his eyes.

     
    In which Buck joined the 118 after transferring to the Navy Reserves and struggled with becoming a civilian. Eddie showed him how to feel worthy again.

    Summary

    “You were just telling us about your dog, Pumpkin. Three years old. You’re taking her to the park this weekend?”

    And, oh. Buck wanted to laugh. Hen thought Pumpkin was a dog. He did laugh; loud and wheezing.

    “Buck?”

    “Right, you’re right. Pumpkin. How could I forget?” Buck wiped a tear from his eye. He didn’t know why it was so funny, maybe he had bumped his head a little, but for some reason, Hen mistaking his three-year-old daughter for a dog was just about the funniest thing he’d ever heard.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra raised her hand and shook her head, "It is the truth, my love, my capability will not change the laws, a person who is not of age requires a regent.

    Daemon sighed. The three of them were backed into a corner. They would need to fight Cunt Hightower for their own blood to rule because he was sure Otto would have a few tricks up his sleeve. What had become of their dynasty?

    "However, if the woman is married, she does not need one," Rhaenyra slipped in quietly.

    "Because her husband will act in her stead," Rhaenys offered.

    Rhaenyra smiled in agreement and had her focus on him, "Will you marry me, Uncle?"

    Or

    Daemon leaves home with a girl he adored and returns to a woman who loves him. Oddly, Rhaenyra's love is the least concerning thing which has happened to her.
