Summary
It’s nothing, he tells himself.
He didn’t hear anything weird. He’s just overtired. It’s past late and nearing early morning now. The clock above the soundboard reads 3:47 am. He would have been asleep hours ago on a night when he didn’t have a late shift.
And it’s raining outside, he reminds himself; the storm is why the signals are being weird in a totally normal way. If he heard anything, it was just a blip. An anomaly. That’s what Dustin would call it: an anomaly.
He has fully brushed it off as nothing— just an exhaustion induced auditory hallucination— and he’s preparing to cue up the next track, when it happens again, unmistakable this time:Static crackle and pitchy interference, like a walkie on a bad channel, and then--
“Wheeler? Dustin? Anyone, come in? Code Red. Please. This is Code fucking Red!”
Steve knows that voice. He'd remember it anywhere.

Summary
"You're watching Brokeback Mountain?" Stiles asks.
"Is there a problem with that? I was under the impression that you're bisexual, surely two men having a relationship isn't scandalous to you," Peter says.
"No, it's not that, dumbass," Stiles says. "I just didn't think it's your style."
Peter seems uncomfortable for a moment and Stiles is sure he's about to be told to fuck off, but then Peter sighs.
"Now that the nemeton is dealt with, the territory is finally somewhat secure. I have a chance to catch up on all that I missed," Peter says.
"Missed?"
"While I was in a coma, Stiles," Peter says exasperatedly.
Peter's looking at Stiles like he's waiting for something, maybe for Stiles to make a sarcastic comment or laugh, but Stiles doesn't find it remotely funny.
"Oh," Stiles says awkwardly. "Okay, but if you're doing this, you're doing this right."
OR
Due to his time in a coma, Peter has missed a lot and doesn't get all the cultural references people make. Stiles wants to change that.

Summary
Still off balance, Buck slams his left heel onto the roof, heaving forward to catch the collar of that yellow shirt. And there’s no conscious decision making here. It’s all instinct, and he’s grateful for it. If he’d given his overzealous mind the chance to consider another way, he would have missed his shot. Instead, his arms hurl the boy into the hands of another survivor...
And his right foot misses the edge.
OR
Buck catches Chris before he rolls off the firetruck, and it's him who falls back into the retreating waters of the tsunami. Unconscious and seriously injured, he's unaware that his team has been searching for him, never giving up as the days pass.
