Summary
What happens next isn't Buck's proudest moment, and he's not even entirely sure why he does it at all. Maybe it's because he's still shaking with adrenaline, aching and freshly bruised, smoke still heavy in his lungs. Maybe it’s because Chim's been back a week and still hasn't said a word to him.
But then, it could be that Buck's genuinely struck dumb by Eddie's audacity - that Eddie feels owed anything at all from him, that he thinks he can talk to Buck like that after leaving him the way everyone else has and does and will - it makes venom bubble up into his throat, hot and acrid.
"Firefighter Buckley to Dispatcher Diaz," he starts, his knuckles white on the radio, something mean and furious trying to burst its way out of his chest, "You don't get to say shit like that to me anymore."

Or, the story of how Buck and Eddie finally get together after Eddie leaves the LAFD and becomes a Dispatcher.

Summary
This is a date, Marisol realises with sudden, dawning clarity.
Does Eddie know this is a date?
“Well, it’s about time,” Eddie tells Buck and Tommy. “Working out how to hang out with you both was getting exhausting. Hey, why don’t we pull another table over?”
Oh god, Eddie doesn’t know this is a date.

AKA, the one where Eddie (unknowingly) wants Buck so bad that it makes him act stupid in a restaurant. -

“Shit,” Stiles mutters. “Play it cool, Derek. I’m gonna try to gaslight these EMTs.”
Because really, what else can he do, when he’s got a giant black wolf walking beside him?
-
Or, Stiles and Derek, against their wishes, meet the 118.

Summary
Bobby, meanwhile, changes tact. “What’s your name?”
“Stiles,” The kid – Stiles – answers, before gesturing to the wolf beside him. “This is Sourwolf.”
‘Stiles’ has to be a nickname or alias, and the “dogs” name isn’t exactly reassuring either, but Bobby will work with it. “Okay Stiles, would you like to explain how and why you’re walking the streets of Los Angeles with a wolf?”

Or, the pack meet the wee-woo fam.

Summary
“Hey, talk to me. What’s wrong?” Eddie perches on the arm of the chair and strokes a hand through Buck’s hair. “Feel’s like you might have a fever.”
“I’m okay,” Buck mumbles, wrapping his arms around his middle to protect his stomach. “It’s just a stomach ache. Just need to sleep it off.”-
Or, the one where it’s not just a stomach ache...

Summary
Shane watches Ilya shove a hand through his hair, waits for him to meet his eyes. “You pretend to want things, pretend I can have things that we both know you won’t let me have,” he says, his newfound self-esteem carrying him past the point of no return. He wishes he’d never discovered it, because it’s making Ilya’s face do something awful.
“Oh, you mean I hurt your feelings?”
Close enough, Shane supposes, his chest aching again. He goes to lift his hand again, sees Ilya zero in on the movement, doesn’t. “I guess so.”
Ilya scoffs, mean and sharp. “So sorry, Hollander, I didn’t mean to make you get so emotional about a casual fuck.”
Asshole. So many times he has lobbed the word at Ilya in exasperation, reluctant affection and disbelief, but now he thinks it with vitriolic anger. “I think you should go.”Shane finally decides that Ilya's ability to weaponise sex isn't enough for him anymore. Ilya doesn't take it well, but Shane holds firm. Then they start to text about it. Sort of.

Summary
“We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”
It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.
He can’t breathe.
(Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

Summary
“So,” Ilya starts, drumming his fingers on his knees. “You want tuna melt when we get home?”
“What?” Shane says, distracted. “We just had dinner.”
“Yes,” Ilya says. “But you had children’s portion.”
Shane sends him an incredulous look. “I had two servings.”
“Of baby food.”
“Ilya.”
“Shane.”
Shane sighs. “Can we not do this? Please.”
Unfortunately for Shane, they must do this.
Or: Shane's restrictive eating versus Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov.
