    Summary

    The first time it happened, Darry didn’t know what to do.

    It was only a few days after he’d been jumped. His body still ached, his wounds bled at the slightest pull, his ankle throbbed when he tried to walk. All his body wanted to do was lie down, rest, try to stitch itself back together in whatever way was possible.

    But his mind was a different story.
    .
    .
    .
    or: In dealing with the aftermath of getting jumped, Darry quickly learns that not all of his scars are visible.

    Summary

    Any decent roofer knows you're supposed to cut with the grain. Cutting against the grain will split the wood unevenly and cause tearout, which is when the wood fibers are lifted and ripped haphazardly instead of cleanly cut.

    Nobody understands this better than Darrel Curtis.

    Summary

    “It’ll take two seconds,” Higgins says. “I like to keep up to date with all the players, you know. I just thought, well, you moved recently. And your emergency contact.”

    He pauses here, and Jamie raises an eyebrow. His emergency contact? He’d probably filled out some joke response last time, hadn’t he. Fucking Queen of England, Boris Johnson’s wife, something good.

    “Oi, let’s see it then,” and Higgins passes over the paper like it’s a live bomb, and Jamie scans down to where he sees his own handwriting sitting over a few dotted lines, and, well. It sure ain’t the Queen.

    or: Jamie goes through a series of unfortunate events, changes his emergency contact a few times, and considers the possibility that maybe, actually, letting other people help isn’t all bad after all.

    Summary

    Bobby and Buck are in a parking garage when part of the structure collapses, trapping them both inside. The collapse itself isn't too bad. The problem is that Bobby can't find Buck, and is too concussed to remember that Buck is no longer on the blood thinners that could make even a minor injury lethal.

    Bobby struggles to communicate to the incident commander outside, a stranger, as well as to Athena, exactly why it's so important that he remain inside the collapse. But Buck's never left him behind, even when ordered to. He's not about to betray that in return.

    (for the whumptober 2020 prompt "collapsed building")
