Summary
“Wait, what?”
Hen gives him a funny look. “He’s fine, Buck.”
“No, I— his name,” Buck explains, breathless.
“Edmundo?” She questions, a strange tilt to her voice. “You do know Eddie’s full name, right?”
“Um.” Buck is able to break out of his shocked haze enough to see the multiple pairs of eyes staring at him. “Apparently, I did not.”
Or, everyone carries their soulmate's name on their chest, and Buck finally learns Eddie's full name.

Summary
Buck has never been a fan of pet names.
He's been called them before. More times than he can count, really, but it's always sounded the same. Cheap. Transactional. Someone wanting something from him.
Babe. Baby. Sweetheart. They all blurred together into the same empty noise, the same hollow affection that never lasted past that one night.
The first time Eddie calls him one, he thinks it must be an accident.
-----------
or: Buck learns that maybe pet names can come from a place of love rather than someone just wanting him for what he can give them in one night.

Summary
A flashlight beam cut through the dark and landed on him. Athena’s silhouette filled the bridge as she moved closer, uniform neat against the night. She didn’t shout or hurry; she simply walked with the steady confidence of someone who’d learned how to hold a space when everything else was falling apart.
“Sir,” she said, voice low and even. “Step away from the ledge.”
Buck barely turned his head. The motion was small, almost apologetic — enough to take the wind from her and make the beam of light tremble across his face. He looked small there, thinner than she remembered, like something had hollowed him out.
“Athena.” His voice was a scrape. It held no fight, only the tiredness of someone who’d been carrying too much for too long.
or
Buck is tired of believing the thoughts running through his head, so he takes matters into his own hands.

Summary
Instead of hiding the truth about Daniel from their children, Margaret and Philip memorialize their lost son in every one of their remaining children's accomplishments. Growing up, neither Maddie nor Buck felt like they could escape the shadow of their brother.
When Buck finds the 118, he gets a chance to be his own person, although the looming attention from his parents and weight of expectations threatens to jeopardize what he's built in Los Angeles.
