    Summary

    Dear Eddie,

    You probably have a lot of questions. I’ll get to answering them later. But first, let me paint you a picture.

    Imagine a little child, growing up in the depths of suburban Pennsylvania. They have no real friends, only their older sister. They have plenty of toys that were once said sister’s, including a collection of Barbies.

    Among these Barbies is a singular Ken. The child pays special attention to him. While their parents are wondering why the child isn’t obsessed with changing the Barbies into a thousand and one dresses, they take a pink marker and draw a birthmark on the side of Ken’s left eye. They keep Ken hidden from everyone else and only bring him out when no one’s around, to look at him long and hard, mesmerized.

    If you haven’t guessed yet, I am that child.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    “Good job, Mr. Buckley,” Firefighter Diaz says, once he’s standing right in front of Buck. He holds out the small toy, eyebrow quirking up. Is everything in slow motion? Buck thinks everything is in slow motion.

    It feels like it takes forever for him to reach out and take it, but time seems to speed back up when their fingers brush, just slightly, during the exchange. He breathes in a little too sharply and nods at him, like, yes, an idiot, and his mouth is moving before he can stop it. “Uh, yes, yeah, thank you.”

    ...or, Buck’s an elementary school teacher. Eddie’s the hot firefighter that visits his school for a fire safety assembly. He is so normal about it. Seriously. Just ask his coworkers.

    Summary

    When Bobby had arranged the camping trip, it was with a particular goal in mind, one which he had expressed to his wife early on in the planning.

    “And how are you going to make that happen? They’ll get a whiff of you interfering and it’ll be game over,” Athena had commented, but despite sharing her namesake’s wit, she didn’t understand the 118 quite as well as he did.

    “I don’t have to do any interfering. All I need to do is get them there, and the rest will work itself out.”

    And he was right. A little too right.

    Secrets are spilled and truths brought to light when the 118 and their partners go on a camping trip.

    Oh, and there’s malaphors. Lots of malaphors.
