    Summary

    Buck’s hair is gray at the temples, buzzed neatly on the sides and a bit longer and curlier on top than Chris remembers him wearing it, and there’s a new scar through one of his eyebrows. He looks good, like he’s living a happy life, and the only possible reason Chris can imagine for Buck to be here at Helena Diaz’s funeral in El Paso is that Chris’s father brought him.

    “Why would you come?” Chris snaps at him.

    Buck blinks. “Why wouldn’t I come?”

    “She didn’t mean anything to you.”

    “I’m not here for her,” Buck scoffs. “She is dead. I’m here for him.”

    or

    Chris is forced to grapple with the choice he made eleven years ago when his father comes back for Helena’s funeral.

    Summary

    Eddie feels his chest tightening. He inhales for four, holds for two, exhales for six, and starts again.

    He shifts his gaze to Maddie, who’s watching him intently, her big eyes mirroring his in color and worry. They look at each other for a while, the silence interrupted by faint breathing and loud beeps.

    “How am I supposed to let him go?”

    (Or, Eddie talks to Maddie while Buck is comatose)

    Summary

    Hen stares at Buck for a long moment, then turns on her heel to walk upstairs. “Chim! Did you know that Peanut is a human child and not a small animal?”
    “Buck’s Peanut?” Chim calls back, leaning over the railing. “No? Is she not a dog?”
    “No!” Buck replies. “She’s a preschooler!”

     

    OR: At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?

    Summary

    “I wanted to wait and see how it played out,” Eddie explains. “But I found the perfect secret Santa gift for Josh.”

    At this, Buck looks a little concerned. “You did?”

    Eddie nods. “I found him a husband,” he says smugly.

    Summary

    Then the earth quakes, and Eddie feels his foot shift where it rests on the ground. He's standing too close to the edge, and Buck is standing too close to him. If the last thing he does in this life is protect Buck, he would be fine. He plants his hands on Buck's chest and shoves him back.

    ---

    No, Tommy will never measure up, because Buck's bar is so high it's out in space. Eddie climbed right on up and put it there himself. And it's not fair to anyone to treat Tommy like some consolation prize.
