    Summary

    "D'you know Eddie?" Buck asks. His eyes are huge and earnest. It's not often these days that Eddie gets to see him this unguarded. Just needed to get him stoned out of his mind on painkillers, apparently. He's probably got a prescription in that stack of papers Eddie took. Maybe Eddie can run out and fill it for him while he sleeps. "He's my best—my best friend."

    Eddie's heart does something traitorously squishy that he hopes doesn't show on his face. "Feeling's mutual, bud. Come on, lie down, sleep it off for a little bit, okay?"

    -

    Or: Buck confesses something he doesn't mean to while on painkillers. Eddie spirals about it.

    Summary

    Charles Smith considered himself many things. Quiet. Intelligent. Dependable to a fault. Occasionally, unintentionally rude. One thing he had never considered himself — physically or otherwise — was weak. Life had trained him too well for that. It had taught him the practiced motions of endurance, the reflexive bracing of the spine before impact, the careful distance one learned to keep from people, places, and hope itself. Complacency was a luxury. Attachment was a liability. When you lived a life as dangerous and unsettled as his, grief was not a question of if, but when — and it was easier not to invite it in at all.

    All in all, Charles knew he was strong.

    What he did not know — what sat heavy and unanswered in his chest — was whether that strength would be enough to carry the body of a man he cared for deeply down from a mountain.

    (Post-Canon fix-it of what could have been if Arthur actually didn’t die on the mountain)

    Summary

    Charles has never intended to end up in a gang. There's a danger involved when creatures like him spend too long with a group. The wolf was lonely, though. At the end of the day, maybe Charles was too.

    (In which everything is mostly the same, but Charles is hiding a hairy secret.)

    Arthur scowls and moves to put the paper away, but a headline catches his attention: TRAIN ROBBED BY O’DRISCOLL GANG, PINKERTONS ON THE HUNT, screams a front-page article.

    *

    In the Grizzlies, the gang doesn’t run into the O’Driscolls -- and they don’t rob Leviticus Cornwall.
