    Summary

    The first two weeks of having an official, honest-to-God boyfriend were, for Eddie, a masterclass in controlled panic. It wasn't that having Buck in his life was bad. It was the opposite. It was so ridiculously, suspiciously good that Eddie was convinced he was the unwitting star of some cosmic prank show. His life had a track record, and that track record suggested that any period of calm was simply the universe taking a long, deep breath before drop-kicking him into a new disaster. He was just waiting for the other shoe to drop, except in his case, it was less a shoe and more a shipping container full of anvils.

    Or:
    Human Disaster!Eddie challenges the universe and makes some questionable life decisions. Again.

    Summary

    Please, Buck, come home to us.

    "Eds," Buck sobs, raking a hand through his hair, pulling on the strands, "fuck, I'm so sorry."

    He's talking to an empty room, like a lunatic, the voice in his head a recording of Eddie's that plays on a loop inside his skull. After all, he knows his voice, his inflection, his cadence, could pick it out anywhere, so it's no feat to imagine the sound of it shaping that plea, the hollowness and ache and heartbreak edging each syllable he reads on the paper.

    I don't have a backup plan. You are my backup plan, Buck.

    The guilt is like barbed wire now, wrapping itself around his lungs, spikes embedding themselves in the flesh. It hurts, it fucking hurts, but it's nothing compared to what Eddie must have felt.

    I don’t know how to do this, Buck. I don’t know how to keep going if you’re not here.

    Or, Buck finds a letter in Eddie’s closet, written during his coma. Everything spirals from there.
