Summary
“I’m trying not to make it about me.”
The words seem to stop Eddie in his tracks—but only for a fleeting moment. Then, “Okay, then let me.”
Buck blinks, ignoring the feeling of a single tear fighting past the edge of his lashline. Instantly, he swipes it away. “What?”
“Let me make it about you. Talk to me. I want to know what’s going on with you. I’m not gonna be able to focus on this god awful dinner if I’m worried that you’re alone, and upset, and—”
“I miss you,” Buck confesses, abruptly, because anything else he wants to say right now is too raw, too real.
Eddie exhales into the microphone of his phone. “Yeah. Yeah, I—I know. I miss you, too.”
“No, I miss you. More than I’m supposed to, I think.”
“I’m your best friend, bud,” Eddie tells him. “I think you’re supposed to miss me. We’re eight hundred miles apart.”
Miserably, Buck shakes his head. “Not like this.”
Or: Buck finally unpacks and stumbles across a box Eddie left behind, full of sketchbooks that Buck didn’t know he owned. He’s confronted, suddenly, with the fact that his best friend has been drawing him for years.

Summary
Chris wants his dad. He wants his bed. But he can't have those yet, and he and Dad never really text because if Dad’s not working they’re usually together or one of them is too busy to text, so texting Dad feels weird, but Buck… He can text Buck.
do you think it was a good thing for Pandora to keep hope in the box?
The little dots pop up immediately, which Chris wasn’t expecting.
I’m not sure. I do know that it technically wasn’t a box, it was a pithos, which is like a big jar they used for storage. Box is a mistranslation, but it became so widely used that we all just roll with it now.
It’s a very classic Buck response. The dots keep going.
On that note, “hope” isn’t an exact translation either. Another way that people translate it is “deceptive expectation.” Hope isn’t necessarily deceptive, and we tend to use it in a positive way, so it’s maybe not the BEST word to use, but I guess in English we don’t have a better one for “deceptive expectation” and “hope” sounds pithier.
Deceptive expectation. Huh.

“You’re bi?” Adriana gasps. Because, for all the things Eddie drunkenly told her about Buck last night, that little nugget of information had not been included. “Wow,” she breathes. “Wow, wow, wow. That’s - - sorry, that’s great. Isn’t that great, Eddie?”
Eddie, who had confessed his giant gay crush to her like it was a terminal diagnosis, kicks her under the table. “Sure is.”
Or, Adriana is in town for New Year's, and it's the best decision of her gossip-loving life.

Color the world with the scent of hope and growth by Klaerenn for Kympossible

Summary
Buck coming from a line of hunters has never mattered. Sure, Eddie recognized the tattoo as soon as he met the man who all but puffed at him for a shift or two. However, with a team including a witch and a dokkaebi who seemed to consider his attitude more like a little brother acting out than any kind of threat, Eddie was never overly concerned.
The same way Eddie doesn’t bring up Buck’s family’s affiliation, Buck doesn’t ask why Eddie doesn’t change to help them find a victim buried under a mudslide, or severed fingers scattered around.
Well, he doesn't until Eddie fucks up his own life and Gerrard comes back to the 118. And, granted, confronting Gerrard on scene might not have been the wisest decision. Hen looked like she wanted to smack him on the head for his stunt while Chimney sighed, an expression usually reserved for when Buck is acting out animating his face.
But it’s not like it warrants Buck following him home after their shift. One that ended up with four hours of Eddie scrubbing the sanitary facilities of the station. All he wants is a shower, a way to scrub his nostrils clean and sleep. Not to be reminded of yet another blunder to add to the ever-growing list of things he did wrong.

Summary
Buck’s not going to let Eddie just hide himself away.
He knows Eddie’s in mourning for Christopher, he knows he’s struggling with his actions and everything that happened because of them.
But Buck’s not going to let him drown in his misery and depression. There’s no way he’s going to let him go through this alone, even though Eddie will push back - Buck knows him, and he will push - but he’s going to keep pushing too. He’s not going to let Eddie isolate himself.
So, Operation: Keep Eddie Diaz Busy and Annoyed has started.
Or, the one where Buck forces Eddie to keep busy while Chris is gone, but ends up catching a bad case of The Feelings in the middle of Eddie learning to love pickling things to irritate Chim and charming old ladies through square dancing.

Summary
It’s just—he’s exhausted. It’s just that he was off all shift and no one noticed. It’s just that Eddie is barely standing, and he’s not going to collapse, he’s not, but he thinks he might stumble.
He thinks of his empty bed at home, and his chest feels tight.
It’s just that—it’s okay if it’s Buck. He can let Buck catch him.

“Youdidntlookexcitedtoseeme,” Eddie mumbles in one unhappy breath.
Buck chuckles. “What was that?”
Eddie huffs. “You,” he says pointedly, poking a finger into Buck’s chest. “Didn’t look excited,” he emphasizes. “To see me.”
Or, sometimes, Eddie likes to be a tiny bit dramatic. Just sometimes. Just as a treat. It's Buck's favorite thing.

Summary
Look, it’s just- of course, rationally he knew, right? He knew that his grandparents were his dad’s parents, that’s literally how it works.
He just never really- realized what that meant.
But there are tears in his father’s eyes. And Chris remembers something he saw on TikTok a while ago: It’s his dad’s first time living too.
And maybe…maybe he really has been a little hard on him. Shutting him out like that.
“What, Eddie, of course we want you to be hap-” Abuela tries, but Chris’s dad doesn’t let her.
“No,” he interrupts. “No, that’s not true. If you wanted me to be happy, you would’ve helped me. You would’ve let Christopher stay with you for…a month, maybe, to cool down, to get some distance, to get the space he needs. But then you…you would’ve tried, at least. To get us talking. To fix this. To mend what I broke.”
He sounds devastated. So incredibly devastated. And Chris can’t help but think that…his dad kinda has a point there.
Or: Eddie goes to Texas, Chris overhears something he shouldn’t have, Helena Diaz starts feeling as guilty as she fucking should, and somehow, somewhere in between it all turns out okay.

“Are those okay?” he asks, sweet and easy.
Eddie glances down. It’s Buck’s boxers, loose and comfortable and low on his waist. They’re light blue and nicer than the ones Eddie buys for himself. He smiles a little, looks up at Buck through his lashes.
“Better than okay,” he admits.
—five times eddie wears buck's clothes without understanding why; and the one time he does.

Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”
“That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

“It’s nearly three in the morning.” Newt whispered, “Why are you up?”
“… Why are you up?”
“One of the Occamy’s isn’t well, she requires around the clock care.” Newt rubbed the hell of his hands against his eyes with a yawn, “I think she’s getting bullied a little, so I’m thinking of moving her with the other batch. She can be like an older sister to them then.”

“Be careful,” Shane frets, one hand hovering over Ilya’s shoulder. “It’s icy, and I don’t want to be a widower.”
“Oh, we’d have to be much higher than this for the fall to kill me,” Ilya says, gaze still fixed on the cool black skyline. “At least seven stories.”
It’s not until much later, as the waitress is clearing the dishes from dinner, that Yuna finds herself wondering why Ilya knows exactly how high a fall needs to be in order to kill him.
Or: Yuna learns about Ilya's past bit by bit over the years.
