It’s a stupid decision, but with Chris and Eddie in his head, on his mind at all times he makes the appointment without hesitation.
But when it’s done, when his skin feels raw, his thigh almost shaking with it he finally gets to look at it and it’s everything he wanted. Without shame he tears up right there in front of the mirror and his artist pats his arm and asks what he thinks.
“It’s perfect.” Buck rasps

Summary
Eddie’s eyes snap open, his vision blurry and disoriented as he registers the unmistakable form of a toddler sitting on his sternum. His cheeks are round, blonde curls a mess and a pacifier is dangling half out of his mouth.
The kid is also patting his face like a bongo drum.
“Hi,” the child says, grinning wildly, just before the pacifier drops directly onto Eddie’s cheek.
He sits up with a jolt, instinct taking over and the kid topples sideways with a giggle, landing in the space beside him on the bed.
“What the fuck?” Eddie mutters, fully awake and adrenaline rising as he looks up and sees Buck… who is lying casually on the other side of the bed cradling another child.
“Don’t swear,” Buck says absently, like he’s not currently holding an unknown child.
“Don’t… did you just say don’t swear? Who the hell—” Eddie stammers, his eyes darting between the two kids and Buck.
“It’s us,” Buck says, like that explains anything, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Or; Eddie makes a wish by accident and it comes true. So he and Buck spends the day with their younger selves aging up three years every time they falls asleep.
Orr; Take two, times two… in threes?

Summary
Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.~~
or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.
