    Summary

    “Yeah. Craziest thing. My kid comes home a few weeks ago with a birthmark on his eyebrow. Looks suspiciously like a smudge of paint, but he assures me it’s a birthmark.”

    “Ah,” Buck cringes. "Mr Diaz - -"

    "Eddie."

     

    Or, if you ask Christopher, that smudge on his eyebrow is a birthmark. If you ask Eddie, his kid won't stop painting on his face and he has no idea why.

    Summary

    May realised a very long time ago that Buck was basically her stepbrother. So, when the lightning strike finally provided the impetus for Bobby to admit that he also brought a kid into their family, she had every intention of seizing the opportunity to properly integrate Buck into the Grant-Nash family.

    And, look, if in the process she also gains a brother-in-law… clearly the universe was just waiting for the opportunity to make that happen.

    -

    Or, the one where May ensures Buck is enfolded properly into the Grant-Nash clan, which means Bobby (and by extension the firefam, because gossip) suddenly gets significantly more insight into the inner workings of the Buckley-Diaz family, and all roads lead to Buddie…

    Summary

    "The F18 soared across the open water, a few thousand feet above the hard deck. Buck pushed the plane past Mach 1 and was rounding on Mach 1.5, enjoying the roar of the engine and the steady vibration of the plane under him. He loved the feeling of flying; the strange part of him felt grounded the higher he went, more connected to himself the more altitude he gained.

    The F18 responded beautifully to his every touch, going faster or slower with barely more effort than a thought.

    Buck had brought an old polaroid with him in the plane, the one his dad had given him when he went off to basic flight training. He’d taken a few pictures during his time in the Navy, mostly of Bradley or the sky. He loved being able to send polaroids home to his dads."

    in which Evan "Buck" Buckley is an aviator, Eddie Diaz is jealous, and the Dagger Squad is badass

    Summary

    It's November sixth. Seven years ago, Mike’s world went to shit in the woods outside Hawkins Laboratory. For three years, his life was a bloody, twisted wreck with a hell of a lot of casualties. Somehow, this just feels like another extension of that, like the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be a train, and it’s bearing down on him at full speed while he’s just standing there and letting it.

    Seven years ago today, Mike Wheeler lost his best friend, and then he lost himself.

    November 6, 1990, in the corner of a crowded room with another boy’s hands in his hair, he feels like maybe, just maybe, he’s finally got a little bit of himself back. He doesn’t know if it’s a part that’s worth keeping, is all.

    (or, mike wheeler on kissing boys, growing up, losing your best friend, and finding him again.)
