    Summary

    And it’s probably the wrong thing to say, but Christopher is just— he’s so angry, he’s so angry and he wants to lash out at someone.

    “I wish you and Dad had never even met!” With that, Christopher actually goes into his room, and Buck doesn’t stop him, or say anything.

    He lays down on his bed, burying his face in his pillow, and finally lets out the rest of the tears he’d been holding back.

    --

    or, Christopher makes a wish and the universe grants it

    Summary

    On his first day, Eddie sees the ghost before he meets him.

    There is a boy, younger than Christopher but not by much, who runs around the station like it’s a playground. For a second, while Eddie is pulling a shirt over his head, he thinks the boy is real and someone ought to be watching out for him because a fire station is no place for a kid that young to play unsupervised.

    And then the boy, pale, skinny and too frail for his age, passes through an exiting member of C shift like wind through a plastic bag. A ghost.

    “Who the hell is that?”

    Eddie watches as the ghost – just a fucking kid, really – whips his head around to the voice. His face lights up and Eddie’s heart sinks because how cruel can this world be?

    He turns around and Eddie is struck. The man is strong and broad, all blue eyes and defined features. If it weren’t for the splotch of color above his eyebrow, Eddie would think that the man and the little boy standing at his side were genetic matches.

    OR Eddie Diaz can see ghosts — that’s nothing new. The little boy following around his new coworker is a different story.
