    Summary

    Eddie had seen Buck devastated before, more times than he'd like to count. But nothing compared to watching Buck realise that his son might be dead. And it was all his fault.

    Or: After Theo disappears during a mall takeover, Eddie tears the building apart trying to bring Buck’s son home. A terrifying day that finally forces Buck and Eddie to confront the fact that they’ve already built a family together, with Christopher and Theo at the centre of it.

    Summary

    Eddie always thought his soulmark felt less like a promise and more like a countdown.

    Two lines, dark against his skin.

    He learns to hide them. Learns not to hope. Learns not to imagine the person those words might belong to.

    Then Buck says the first line in the middle of a storm, casual and smiling and impossibly alive, and Eddie’s whole world narrows to one terrible truth.

    Buck is his soulmate.

    or

    What if Eddie realized Buck is his soulmate when he got struck by lightning and is the one to bring him back.

    Summary

    The doctor tilts her head to the only source of warmth in the cold, hospital room. “And who’s he?”

    Buck’s eyes drift to Eddie, hungry for the sight of him. They fall upon the tense line of Eddie’s shoulders, the firm press of otherwise plump lips, watching like the very air in his lungs depend on Buck’s answer.

    “That’s Eddie,” Buck answers, and the smile sneaks up on him. “Eddie Diaz. My partner.”

    There. Relief washes through Eddie in a visible wave: his shoulders drop, features relaxing with the soft push of an exhale. Buck warms at the sight. Right answer.


    A polysemy is a word with multiple, related meanings. The word partner, for example, can mean close friendship, a teammate, a co-parent. To someone else, it can also mean a lover.

    Summary

    Buck closes his eyes and leans helplessly into the touch.

    He needs this. Needs Eddie close enough to quiet the noise in his head.

    If he could, he thinks, he would climb right inside Eddie’s ribcage and stay there awhile, somewhere warm and safe where nothing could touch him.

    ----

    After a bad call, Buck comes home to Eddie.

    Summary

    Chris remembers, suddenly, the days after his mom died, the feeling of dread that lingered under his skin. The way it slowly bubbled up, over the years, until he couldn’t be this kid anymore, this kid who could look at the world and not see danger in every corner. He wishes that Theo will never be like that. He knows, living with a first responder, that the odds of him turning out any other way are against him.

    “Hey, Theo,” he says suddenly, the words spilling from his lips without permission. “Do you think Buck is your dad?”

    Christopher isn't sure how he feels about Theo, or what he means for him and Buck. When they're caught up in a disaster alone, he has plenty of time to figure it out.
