    Summary

    From behind his back, Chris reveals his old, ratty Superman logo shirt. It’s way too small for him now, but, for some reason, he’s never thrown it away.

    “This shirt has superpowers,” he whispers to Theo. "It keeps all the bad dreams away. It doesn’t fit me anymore, but I don’t want all the superpowers to go to waste. Do you think maybe you could look after it for me?” 

    Theo nods emphatically. “Yes,” he whispers. He looks up at him, his tiny face sure and determined. “I can do it, Chris.” 

     

    Or, Theo has nightmares. Chris works a hand-me-down shirt-shaped miracle.

    Summary

    “...What I’m trying to say is, we’re best friends, you know? There’s nothing romantic about it. Just best friends.”

    “Best friends who live together and raise two kids,” Eddie adds, perplexed.

    “Yes!” Buck agrees, nodding, “Exactly.”

    “Okay,” Eddie says, but it’s not, not at all. He’ll be demanding answers soon.

    (Or, Eddie wakes up without remembering most of his life. He doesn’t freak out, really, he just needs someone to explain why is he not married to Buck.)

    Summary

    For a moment, Eddie is quiet.

    He stares. Blinks. Stares some more, his mouth opening and closing around nothing.

    And then all at once, he zeroes in on the photo collage across the room, and his body goes completely still.

    They’re all couples. Happy, blissful, newly married couples, still in their suits and long white dresses, holding each other close beneath the familiar branches of a willow tree. The same branches billowing in the wind outside Eddie’s bedroom window.

    A wedding venue. He woke up in a wedding venue.

    His wedding venue.

    Eddie wakes up on the morning of his and Buck’s wedding. Everything has been meticulously planned—the suit, the flowers, the venue. There’s just one problem: Eddie is straight, and he and Buck are just friends.

    Summary

    "Please tell me you aren't seriously apologizing to me for crying right now."

    Buck swallows and ducks his head, suddenly sheepish. Half a moment later, a warm, solid weight materializes on his shoulder. Eddie's palm radiates heat through the thick fabric of Buck's sweater. It's instantly grounding.

    "You're allowed to cry, Buck," Eddie says quietly. "We've been through a lot today."

    "It's not fair when we're arguing," Buck mumbles, refusing to look up.

    Eddie sighs, his grip on Buck's shoulder tightens, his thumb pressing in against Buck's collarbone. "We're best friends. You never have to pretend with me."

    ~

    or, after the intervention and going to the hospital with Hen, Buck and Eddie return home to have a long overdue conversation.

    Summary

    “I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”

    His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”

    Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)
