    Summary

    He's stuck. Pinned beneath a slab of concrete that feels like it weighs more than a truck. His radio is crushed somewhere under the wreckage—he can’t reach it, can’t even turn his head far enough to check. His chest rises in shallow, ragged gasps, each breath harder than the last. The air’s thick with dust, choking, dry. It scrapes at his throat like sandpaper, and he can feel the panic starting to creep in, tight and hot in his chest.

    ---
    Or, debris topples on top of Buck after saving Bobby. No one notices. Not for a few hours.

    Summary

    “Sorry, uh, I’m not doing this right,” she says.

    “Doing what right?” Eddie asks.

    “Actually, sorry, one sec, this is bugging me,” she says before flicking her wrist in the direction of the star. It shifts where it sits atop the tree, untouched, straightening ever so slightly.

    “Much better,” she says, turning back to Eddie with a smile.

    “H-how did you do that?” Eddie asks.

    “I’m your ghost of Christmas past,” she explains, as if it’s the simplest thing on earth. In Eddie’s—albeit, sleep deprived—mind, it certainly is not.

    “My…huh?”

    OR

    On the night before Christmas, Eddie is visited by three (or four) ghosts who show him what it means to let go, to be loved, and to love someone back.

    Summary

    “C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.

    "What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.

    "You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”

    Eddie can’t believe his ears.

    "That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."

    “Oh so you concede?"

    Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

    Summary

    “Are you upset that we came back, or something? I told you that we’d find a different place if you—”
    “Stop, Eddie. No, of course not. That’s not the—it’s fine. Really.” Buck pulled in a deep breath, shaking his head. “It’s time for me to find my own place. It’s a good thing.” He leaned forward to grab their beers from the coffee table, passing Eddie his. “Sorry for snapping at you. It’s just been a long day.”
    Eddie nodded, swallowing hard, the animal in his chest retreating a little. “Yeah. Me too.”
    “Anyway, I’ve got a promising tour tomorrow,” Buck continued, voice carefully neutral. “A friend of Maddie’s from nursing school has a brother who’s moving out, so. We’ll see. He’s about our age, elementary teacher or something, so the place can’t be that expensive.” Buck shrugged. “Got a pretty good feeling about it.”
    “That’s good,” Eddie said, though the next sip of his beer tasted bitter on his tongue.

    Summary

    When Buck overlooks a small injury to the head during one of his shifts, it turns out to be a very big problem once he starts hearing the internal voices of everyone he walks by, including his best friend, who seems to be undergoing a silent life-crisis. As Buck listens more and more to the thoughts that surround him, he becomes increasingly more confused with his own.

    OR

    Buck can hear other people's thoughts, and Eddie's are everything and nothing like he expected.
