Summary
With a cold on the way, Eddie drinks the tea a shop owner on a call swears will cure what ails him and dreams of six other lives with one thing in common.
Buck.
Well, Buck may have been right about that tea. He probably shouldn’t have trusted it. Cure for a cold, Eddie’s ass. Because now he’s here, caught in a dream with his full consciousness. Eddie blinks a few times, trying to wake up, but that doesn’t work.
He can control his dream but he can’t leave it, apparently. Not by his choice.
Fuck.
Or …?
Actually, now that Eddie thinks about it, this could be fun. Living another life, one that his dad’s traditional views would have never allowed. Not that Eddie harbored secret cheerleader dreams but who hasn’t wondered about the various paths their life could have taken?

Summary
Buck and Eddie make a bet:
- Can Buck prove he’s ready to find a new partner by going one month without sex or orgasms?
- Can Eddie prove he doesn’t want to keep punishing himself by committing to having one orgasm a day?As Buck’s prize if he lasts, Eddie wagers a secret, one he’s only starting to accept: that Buck’s already the half he’s trying to become, to Eddie.
As for Eddie, despite the prize he requests, the real reward might be learning to let go of the protective shell he’s built over a lifetime, a rather terrifying prospect.
Good thing he’s got Buck to help.

Summary
Buck starts coming on everything Eddie owns.
It starts with Eddie’s pillow.
Objectively, it’s not even a good pillow. Eddie bought it when he moved to LA, eight years old now, and yellowing from the sweat he sometimes forgets to wash out of his hair post-shift. It’s too flat in the middle and too high on the sides. The worst of both worlds and yet Buck can’t stop himself from sniffing it, deeply, during his turn in the bed, because it smells like Eddie.
They’ve just come off a forty-hour shift. Low coverage meets overtime to put Buck in the buzz-exhaustion of an adrenaline comedown, where his body’s worn out but his mind is still wired.
Who could blame him from indulging in this minor form of self-soothing?

Summary
When Eddie’s young seatmate on a flight to El Paso tells the story of how a stranger saved his life from a car crash, Eddie promises to help find the guy and give closure to the kid’s near-death experience. Meanwhile, Eddie deals with his Abuela’s estate while trying to reach Buck, who’s gone off the grid during a spur-of-the-moment trip out of town.
These things may be related.
AKA How do you hold onto the things you want when all you’ve ever known is the feeling of them slipping out of your hands?

Summary
He was just a kid, just like Sidney, and far away from home. When Sidney didn’t look away, Evgeni mimed swinging a baseball bat, and Gonch was right; it was clear he had no idea what he was doing.
That was the first time Sidney thought they could maybe be friends.

“Not anymore,” Jen said. “Congratulations, you’re in love.”

Summary
Sid’s heart jumped and stayed high, quivering behind his ribs. He had slept on the flight from Toronto to Warsaw, and studied his phrasebook between Warsaw and Moscow, and hadn’t been nervous at all until this moment. It was only Geno, after all.
Geno, who he hadn’t seen in a year and a half. Who had hesitated on the phone for many long, painful seconds when Sid first proposed this visit.

Summary
Sid came over for dinner a few nights later with an unanticipated bouquet of pink roses and hovered by the kitchen island while Zhenya put the flowers in water. Zhenya’s heart pounded in his chest. Flowers were a clutching gift; pink flowers—
“Geno, uh,” Sid said, and Zhenya’s hands trembled slightly as he fussed with the blossoms. “I know it’s way too soon, but. Do you want to?”
