Summary
Eddie watches the two of them, and it hits him that of everyone in their orbit, Buck is maybe the only one who could meet Harry exactly where he is. Not with answers, not with neat, grown-up comfort—but with the kind of understanding that comes from surviving the echo of someone else’s grief.
Eddie is watching Buck do what Buck always does: find someone’s hurt, name it gently, hand them back a little light. He’s good at it.
Or, Eddie remembers love means staying. Hen inspires Buck to update his will before she leaves for space.

Summary
Buck's brain is a tornado of confusion and muddled thoughts. "What? Wait, hold on, you're upset that I helped Harry?" He spins, tries to catch Eddie's arm, and only manages a brief touch to his wrist before Eddie yanks it away, eyes blazing fire, and scoffs.
"No, I'm not upset that you helped Harry. Christ." Eddie drags a hand over his face. "It's just rich that somehow you know exactly just what everyone needs and how to help them." He sighs. "Everyone but me."
(Or, why things might be off between BuckandEddie, post 9x02.)

Summary
“It was almost you,” He finds himself saying, eyes still closed, mind caught on a frozen image. A still frame of Eddie’s eyes on him, a line of blood running between his eyes.
He hears Eddie’s surprised inhale and turns his head lazily, blinking at him. Watching the weight of the words sink into him.
Eddie frowns, shuffling to turn towards him fully. “What?”
The corners of Buck’s mouth rise, wry and bittersweet and trembling. “You were standing next to him,” he offers, voice cracking. “It was almost you.” He pauses, turns his gaze back to the ceiling and exhales slowly. “Again.”
Eddie goes still, body tensed and frozen, and Buck closes his eyes again.

Or, the call with the space debris triggers the memory of Eddie getting shot.

Summary
It was really the perfect house.
And it was beautiful on the outside too! Buck had planted a few flowers, it was really taking shape.
But the fridge? Empty. No zoo or observatory magnets. No nothing.
So what if Christopher hated the idea of Buck living alone?
It was fine.
So fine.
Maybe it was karma for moving to Texas in the first place.
Chris visits Buck in his new home, he doesn't like what he finds, or who he finds. -

Summary
Buck took a step forward to comfort, to soothe, to do anything to wipe that look off of Eddie’s face when he felt it; a sharp, stabbing pain that the adrenaline hadn’t allowed him to notice before. Buck looked down then and saw it; the thing that had drained the color from Eddie’s face. A scalpel was penetrating deep into Buck’s chest, the twin to the one buried in the clipboard he still held.

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck turns to him, urgency dripping out of every bit of him. Eddie turns to him, eyes wary as he regards him. “It’s the same. Do you get it?”
“What’s the same, Buck?” Eddie asks, turning Buck around as he talks to him and gently pushing him down onto the bed.
“Us.”
Eddie tilts his head in question at Buck. His eyes drag all over Buck’s body, clearly in search of an answer. He wants to know, Buck can tell. He needs to understand him. His eyes land on Buck’s injured shoulder and he can almost see the second all the dots connect. Eddie’s eyes widen, his hand coming up to hover over his own shoulder.
He understands.
or
Buck gets stabbed by the robot. He and Eddie are super normal about it.

Summary
After 9x02 “Spiraling”, Parker, Athena, Trish, Hen, and Lewis are on their way back to earth…but Parker’s commotio cordis leads to some injuries when they hit the ground. (Featuring Albert/Parker as a couple because Parker is my favorite of the new characters and Albert deserves happiness.)

Summary
The memory repeats again. Some kind of twisted brainworm that has wiggled in and taken over. It doesn’t deter him from jerking off. No, if anything it spurs him on. Repeating until the scene morphs a bit.
Suddenly, Buck is in nothing but his turnout pants, no jacket or shirt. Well, really it’s his turnout pants, suspenders, and helmet—like some kind of firefighter fantasy. The ripple of his muscles is easily visible now. This time Eddie’s in the room with him, backed into a corner while Buck wields the sledgehammer like a cartoon superhero. He’s some kind of damsel in distress, totally helpless as the robot heads straight towards him. Luckily, Buck steps between him and the rogue medical equipment at the last second, arms raised in a way that makes his back flex before he swings, sending chunks of robot spewing around the room.
or,
Eddie gets himself off thinking about Buck defeating the killer robot.

Summary
After weeks of distance, Eddie finally corners Buck in the parking lot to ask why he’s been pulling away. What begins as a fight turns into a confession, a kiss, and the kind of honesty they’ve both been avoiding since everything fell apart.
