Summary
Time back in Indianapolis passes normally, and Eddie finds that he kind of doesn’t mind the routine of it all. Maybe even likes it. Sometimes routine is good, he guesses, when it’s not scheduled for you by the administration of Hawkins High. He sleeps in late because he works late shifts at the bar, or he goes out and stays out late at other bars. Slowly he fills up his apartment with stuff, furniture from the side of the road, posters from shows he’s been to ripped off of telephone poles, photos from back home that the kids send sometimes.
Robin sends Eddie postcards from Hawkins, and also from random places from around the US, and Eddie has no idea where she’s gotten them all or why she has them, but it’s a fun time, especially the vintage ones. Occasionally a postcard from Robin is signed by Steve as well, and Eddie can imagine them at Family Video, something dumb on in the background on a slow day, Robin scrawling and sliding it over to Steve to sign off on. His handwriting is neater than hers, perfect, blocky printing at the bottom of her messy paragraph: “Hi from Steve.”

Summary
"Too bad we can't just date each other."
Eddie laughs. "What?"
"No, I'm serious!" Buck sets his beer down, the better to gesture with both hands, face lighting up, and Eddie just—he really loves the guy, okay. Ridiculous as he is. "It would be so much easier! You wouldn't have to introduce a new person to Chris—he already likes me anyway—and you could tell Pepa so she'll stop setting you up on dates that don't go anywhere—"
"And what would you get out of this?" Eddie asks, grinning.

Summary
"You cannot murder anyone," says Maddie. "Also, if you were going to murder your captain, it would be very stupid to write murder down as your top idea for how to deal with him."
"It's on a dry erase board!" Chim protests. So far, all he's written on the board is Ways to Deal with Capt Gerrasshole, and then 1. Murder? below it. "And I put a question mark. So even if I didn't erase it, the jury would never convict. A question mark introduces reasonable doubt."
Maddie rolls her eyes with a fond smile. "I assume there would be other evidence."
"I would never be so sloppy."
"Again, this would be more convincing if you hadn't immediately written murder right at the top of your list."

The 118 takes on their new captain.

Summary
“Am I on Cap watch because of who my aunt is?” Sharon asks Fury point-blank the second she sits in his office.
“That’s part of the reason, yeah,” Fury says. Sharon narrows her eyes at him, and opens her mouth to object. “But not all of the reason. This isn’t a demotion.”
“It sure feels like a demotion. You’re taking me out of the field and out of intel analysis to babysit Captain America.”
How Sharon Carter gets her groove back, fucks up some Nazis, and gets the girl, with unasked for assists from a super soldier couple.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
The kitchen door opened. Behind him, Buck heard Eddie’s feet on the tile, the open and shut of the refrigerator. In the dim reflection in the window above the sink, Buck could see Eddie cross the kitchen to stand at Buck’s shoulder.
Eddie set a hand in the center of Buck’s back.
This was new, too.
--
After a long summer, Buck and Eddie try to figure out if this is the right time.

Jesse groaned as he pushed himself fully out of bed and went hunting for his boxers, reasoning with himself, “It’s fine. Everything will be fine, because this is never going to happen again.”
“Right,” Charlie agreed. “Never again. Been there, tapped that.”

Summary
“So… you’ve been talking about Buck in therapy?”
Eddie wipes his hand across his face and groans. “I’ve been talking about everything in therapy. Christopher, Shannon, my parents, my childhood, my time in the army, my job. Not to even mention all the other greatest hits, like the several times I’ve almost died, the time Christopher could’ve died in the tsunami, the time Buck almost died right in front of me, Buck—just, generally, Buck and Tommy—”
“You talked about Buck and Tommy in therapy?” Karen’s eyes shoot wide open when she interrupts, and Eddie lets out an even more long-suffering sigh. He definitely did not mean to say that one out loud.
or; Eddie begins the slow process of putting his life back together. He doesn't have to spend a moment of it alone.

“Did you see me come over the back of the couch earlier?” Eddie asks.
It’s such a non-sequitur that it makes Buck laugh a little. “Yes, I did. Very cool, man.” He’s only half-teasing. Eddie could make anything look cool. He just also happens to look silly most of the time too. Like now, for example. Lounging over top of Buck on his couch in this ridiculous get up.
“I’ll go get us a snack, and—and, I’m probably going to do it again.” Eddie whispers the second part, like it's a big secret.
Buck and Eddie sit on the couch.

Summary
Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.
She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.
“Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.
It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.
“Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”
—
Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.

Summary
Eddie shrugs. “We can just order in, it's fine.” He turns to look at Buck, mirrors his position from his spot next to the sink. “You do know you don’t have to cook every night, Buck.”
“I feel bad.” Buck admits. “I’m staying over, you buy groceries, you do laundry, you drive us to work. I wanna repay you somehow.”
Eddie shakes his head. “You’re staying over because I asked you to. I do those things because you’re my best friend and I want you to be comfortable. You don’t have to do anything to repay me.” He pauses, looks right at Buck. “You do enough by just existing by my side.”
(or, buck offers his apartment to bobby and athena, and living with eddie is easy.)

Summary
Buck doesn’t know what he’s going to say next. All he hears is the awful sound of splintering wood, a beam emancipating itself from above them. Without another thought, Buck lunges forward and pushes Eddie out of its path.
When Buck falls through the unstable give of the floor, he feels a bone chilling terror. But it’s okay, because Eddie was knocked away. The beam missed him.
Then, a terrible noise like thunder, a mammoth of sound, and Eddie is falling too. Why is Eddie falling too?
Buck takes a great big tumble. Like always, Eddie is right behind him.

"Says you. My own boyfriend still won't kiss me."
Eddie snorts. "Yeah, well, I wouldn't kiss you either with those things on your face. No offense."
"Um, offense absolutely taken," Buck says, but he's smiling a little now as he moves back to the table with his coffee cup. "Besides, that doesn't count. You don't want to kiss me the rest of the time anyway."
"That's—" Eddie stops.

Summary
Eddie’s been back at work for about two weeks—his time after quitting had passed in a seemingly idyllic week of spending time with his son which got rudely interrupted by a full-scale mental breakdown that ended with tears and hugs and Buck lovingly bullying him into going to therapy again. Then therapy had brought even more tears and confusion and slowly ballooning financial concerns that culminated in Eddie undertaking the frankly painful process of reapplying to the LAFD and completing an equally painful remedial training course.
And everything was fine until—Eddie started having a problem.

"You promised! You promised Steve you wouldn’t do anything stupid and then you did the stupidest fucking thing you could possibly do!” Dustin’s voice cracks. He wipes the tears away from his cheeks with his palms.
“Dustin, don’t you think you should…” Steve starts.
“Don’t rescue me, Harrington,” Eddie interrupts. “I’ll take my admonishment.”

Summary
He thinks about the relief in Eddie’s voice when he said he had a hunch about Steve’s whereabouts, like Dustin is the chosen one for understanding what makes Steve tick. Eddie’s joked about it before; he’d called it “sibling telepathy” when Dustin had silently communicated his popcorn order at the movies, and he’d nudged Steve in the ribs when Steve’s nose wrinkled meaning Gross, dude. Then Steve had huffed a laugh, nudging Dustin back. Okay, okay. I’ll pay for it, you little shit.
But Eddie gets Steve, too, Dustin thinks; that’s why he called him. And yeah, it’s different than the way Dustin understands Steve, but it’s significant enough for Eddie to make the cut of Steve Harrington Interpreters in Dustin’s mind.
