    Summary

    “Hey man,” Eddie says, sliding into the seat next to Buck and pulling him out of his thoughts. “You good? You’ve been staring at that wall for a while now.”

    Buck blinks as he raises his head, caught off guard by Eddie’s concern. Part of him wants to snap at Eddie—tell him to go ask Hen, since they’re so close now. Buck’s jealousy has always had teeth; a beast he doesn’t always know how to control, or how to keep from snapping its jaws at people.

    But right now, it’s overshadowed by the excitement of Eddie looking at him; seeing him. There’s a warmth spreading through his chest, one he hasn’t felt in a little while, and all he can think is more, more, more and look at me, look at me, look at me.

    Keep looking at me. Look at me forever, because when no one looks at me, I feel like a ghost.

    Or: Buck doesn't know how to handle the way everything is changing and it makes him fall back into old habits.

    Summary

    “LA Dispatch to Engine 118, be advised–”

    Eddie’s head snaps up.

    Maddie. Dispatch cadence – clean, clipped, controlled.

    Chimney’s eyes flick to the radio, then to Eddie, before he answers.

    “118, go ahead.”

    Maddie continues, steady as a metronome.

    “We have a reported MVC on the Fletcher Drive Bridge, repeat: multiple-vehicle collision. Units en route have visual confirmation of two cars at the scene.”

    Eddie’s pulse stutters. He leans forward without meaning to, the seatbelt tugging tight across his chest.

    Maddie keeps going, all professionalism, no tremor, until she hits the words that break.

    “One of the vehicles is… a Jeep that went over the railing into the water.”


    or

    The Jeep nde you didn’t know you needed.

    Summary

    It’s not ideal, being dead. He can’t bake, he can’t take a shower, he can’t go to work. And he can’t tell Eddie he loves him.

    It occurred to him in the too-fast flash of a second it took to fall 48 feet into the fiery subfloor full of rubble, glass, and rebar.

    Oh, Eddie.

    Not ideal at all.

    or: Buck is haunting Eddie's house. That's not the end of the story.

    Summary

    There is something about watching Moreau tear himself apart that makes him afraid. Andrew is both the child version of himself that prays that for a night, just for one night, his bedroom door will stay closed, and the adult left alone on the pavement staring at the pitiful abandoned remnants of Neil Josten’s life. Both are too vulnerable for California streets and so Andrew shoves them down with revulsion, threading his fingers through Moreau’s hair to force his head up and examine the gouges of his throat with a clinical disinterest. History sounds too close to misunderstanding for him to find any true detachment. “Did Johnson ever touch Neil?”

    Or: When Andrew asks Jean if Grayson ever touched Neil, he has a different answer.
