    Summary

    For a moment, Eddie is quiet.

    He stares. Blinks. Stares some more, his mouth opening and closing around nothing.

    And then all at once, he zeroes in on the photo collage across the room, and his body goes completely still.

    They’re all couples. Happy, blissful, newly married couples, still in their suits and long white dresses, holding each other close beneath the familiar branches of a willow tree. The same branches billowing in the wind outside Eddie’s bedroom window.

    A wedding venue. He woke up in a wedding venue.

    His wedding venue.

    or: Eddie wakes up on the morning of his and Buck’s wedding. Everything has been meticulously planned—the suit, the flowers, the venue. There’s just one problem: Eddie is straight, and he and Buck are just friends.

    Summary

    Buck’s phone starts ringing in his pocket. He sighs and checks the caller ID, staring in confusion at the unfamiliar number.

    “Uh, hello?”

    “Hello there, is this Evan Buckley?” A woman’s voice is heard through the phone.

    “May I ask who’s calling?”

    “My name is Hope Williams, from Child Protective Services. I was wondering if you had a moment to schedule a meeting on behalf of Charlotte Davis?”

    “I-I’m sorry, I think you must have called the wrong Evan Buckley. Who is Charlotte Davis?”

     

    Or

    Buck finds out he has a 7-year-old daughter. Buck finds out a lot of stuff, actually.

    Title based on the Sabrina Carpenter song

    Summary

    After the lawsuit, Buck keeps his head down—“man down,” money tight, appetite tighter—as the 118 feels colder than it should. A handful of small choices and one steady partner start turning surviving into staying in this quiet hurt/comfort rebuild made of breakfasts, daylight, and the word said on purpose.

    Summary

    He left, and when he told Maddie she cried and Buck held her until she stopped shaking. He stayed for a dinner he made, and then well past Jee-Yun's bedtime and Chim had told him, seriously, when he was gathering his things and Maddie had fallen asleep on the couch, to do something that should have been simple. "Call Eddie."

    "Sure," Buck said with a half smile and a bubbling in his gut.

    He wasn't going to call Eddie. Eddie was busy, and Buck was an adult, and, in the grand scheme of things, his mother dying wasn't anything for anyone to worry about. She was dead, Eddie Diaz could stubbornly restart Buck's heart, but Margaret Buckley was well past the ressusitation point. Eddie was a lot of things (smart, capable, funny, handsome, adorable, so, so, so kind), but he wasn't a necromancer.

    Besides, what had sent him back to Texas was much more important than Buck dead mother.

    --

    Or a story about grief, and love, and all of the complicated emotions in between.
