    Summary

    When he gets back from his brief getaway in another universe, Peter feels different. Hopeful and motivated, his brain is racing with plans even before he’s pulled himself out of his universe’s giant, fallen shield-free version of New York Harbor. By the time he’s back to his undecorated, barely furnished studio apartment, he’s composed a to-do list in his head. It’s not specific enough to be called a plan—just goals, small and large, mostly vague, probably all of them too ambitious—but Peter feels good today, high off a fight that ended well and a comradery he hasn’t had in years. He’s sad it was all over so quickly, but he’s home now, feeling alive. Feeling ready.  

    Peter knows, with a certainty he’s never felt before, that his life could be different.

    Peter 3 attempts to get his life back on track, and falls in love in the process.

    Summary

    “You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”

    “And how do I...we— How does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”

    “I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”

    Summary

    “My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”

    Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.

    “She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.

    ----

    Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

    You spend enough time with someone, spend enough time talking to them, fighting with them, fighting next to them, saving and being saved by them -- you stop an apocalypse with someone and you get to thinking you know them.
