    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Summary

    "You are like that smell after the sudden summer rain. You know, when the rainstorm washes out all the hot stuffy air and rainbows appear. You know the smell?" - Buck said without skipping a bit and Eddie's breath hitched.

    "Earthy, fresh. Like everything is suddenly new and you can finally breathe?"

    "Yeah, just like that."

    ***

    Or: Eddie goes to the wrong house after shift, sleepy cuddles ensue and maybe a confession or two 💕 oh yes, and Christopher Diaz is a national treasure.

    Summary

    “Did you know that kissing is good for you?”

    Buck asks the question out of absolutely nowhere, and Eddie blinks as he tries to process the words. To be fair, it’s barely seven in the morning — on their day off, after Eddie’s night on the couch — and he’s yet to have the coffee that typically kicks his brain into action.

    Also, what?

    “Buck,” he says, rubbing at his eyes. “What?”

    Or: Eddie and Buck start platonically kissing.

    Summary

    “Hey Chris! I brought you guys some-” The words die in Buck’s throat as he takes in the scene before him. Chris and Aiden are sitting on Chris’s bed, backs up against the headboard, tangled closely together. One of Chris’s legs is draped over Aiden’s lap, as his best friend’s palm holds it in place on his thigh. If they were any closer, he’s pretty sure Chris would be completely in the other boy’s lap. But, it doesn’t seem to matter that they aren’t, because Eddie’s fourteen-year-old has his fist buried in Aiden’s light blue t-shirt, tugging him closer as they kiss. Buck would say making out, but it’s much tamer than that. No tongues, just gentle presses of lips, between giggles.

    At least, that’s what they were doing until Buck drops the entire bowl of popcorn on the floor, alerting Chris to Buck’s intrusion. His smile falls as he squeezes his eyes shut and mutters a quick, “shit,” that Buck doesn’t even have time or the brain power to punish him for, before he groans, “Hey, Buck.”

    OR

    When Buck walks in on Chris kissing his best friend, Aiden, Buck and Chris settle in for an overdue conversation about love, family, and being brave.

    Summary

    "What the fuck do you mean, they quit?" Louis asks.

    This man—demon, whatever—looks over at Louis with a withering glance before tossing the apple he's eating. It misses the trash can by about a foot, falling to the floor of Louis' kitchen and definitely leaving a sticky residue that he's going to have to clean up later.

    "You kept getting yourself into trouble and their afterlife experience became too stressful, so they quit. After the fifth guardian angel quit their post last week, there were no other volunteers, so that's where I stepped in. I was getting bored of welcoming souls into hell anyway...they're so goddamn whiney, I'm always like, bro, just shut the fuck up—"

    "So you're my guardian demon," Louis says flatly, cutting the demon/man/thing off before he can get any further.

    He smiles largely enough to show dimples, which seem like a completely inappropriate thing for a demon to have.

    "Exactly," the demon confirms.
