Summary
Buck's eyes are sapphire dark, flitting across Eddie's face as if searching for something buried in his expression. His pink lips part, a breath escaping to dissolve in the cool night air. Eddie’s pulse leaps, and the words that died in his throat suddenly fill his mouth, forming a single sentence. Come home with me.
-
Eddie dates Marisol, desires Buck, and lies to both of them about it.

Summary
Sometimes, Eddie feels like a shook up can of Coke. Or maybe Dr. Pepper, which has that medicinal taste beneath all that cane sugar, the bitterness of children's cough syrup. Sometimes he feels like his skin is fragile aluminum and his insides are a billion bubbles of CO2, ready to expand and explode and push everything right out of him.
OR
Buck tries to leave the 118. Eddie has something to say about it.

Summary
There wasn’t any light pollution anymore, not since the world ended. It made the night sky look different; wider, almost. As Daryl laid there, his eyes found Sagittarius, blinking at him from just above the trees. The bowman. The survivor. The archer.
How often had he stared at the sky as a kid, as a young adult, and not noticed that constellation? He didn’t need its points to navigate, so his gaze had passed over it, cast it as insignificant. Now, it was like those stars were engraved in his soul, chiseled into his bones, branded into his skin. When Carol pointed it out, when she grinned up at him like he’d hung that damn constellation himself, it became him. He was Sagittarius.

How does one cope? Six thousand years of living in his light, leeching off of it, sunning himself in it, only to be plunged back into darkness.

Summary
Kaz doesn’t move from his chair, but his mind travels miles. To the icy waters of Fjerda, to the Ice Court. To the Menagerie, when he first saw her, to the Geldrenner Hotel and all her brown skin just a hairsbreadth away.
If she lived still, he would shed his armor. He would say everything he was too afraid to before, all the saccharine endearments and lovesick pleas to keep her in place. He would touch and take what she gives, all of it, even if it makes him choke on sea water and fight to remain conscious. She could have all of him, every crooked and broken and rotted part.OR
A knock at the door in the dead of night. Word of a plundering off the coast of Fjerda—a Kerch ship against a Ravkan one—with only the latter sailing away. No survivors.
Kaz seeks revenge. Revenge finds him first.

Summary
When Darth Vader dies he has the unfortunate luck to wake up in his twenty year old body, which incidentally consists of an extra arm, two extra legs, a lack of burn scarring, functioning lungs, and hair.
For all that he'll probably come to appreciate it later, coming to in a healthy body when you haven't felt a gentle touch in twenty-odd years isn't exactly a pleasant experience.

Summary
“Buck,” he says. Quiet. He keeps leaning forward until his forehead bumps against the glass. “You gotta—you gotta listen to me, okay?”
Buck’s shaking his head before Eddie’s even finished with his sentence. “No, don’t—don’t start. Please.”
...or, Eddie’s in the lab.

Summary
“We need a safe word,” Buck says. “You know, to make things as clear as possible.”
“I feel like no works just fine,” Eddie says.
Buck lets out a breath, because, sure, it probably will, but he needs assurance here. He needs something straightforward, simple, maybe something easier than Eddie telling him no. Maybe something easier than Eddie saying it’s too much. He’s never been great at that. “Just, humor me, okay? Communication is key with stuff like this.”
Eddie’s laugh is soft, kind of incredulous, but he meets Buck’s eyes, and there’s a relenting fondness in them. “You think, what, you’re gonna be so good it’s gonna scramble my brain out of knowing how to say no?”
An answering laugh tumbles out of Buck, peppered with the exasperation at the back of his throat. “I think this is new for you, and I think you should have options.”
OR
Eddie has to use the safe word.
