    Summary

    Buck has spent most of his life locked in a tower, happily, he might add. He'd given up his life as a prince, and while he will never regret it, he wishes his dear sister would write back. Desperate to feel the connection they had, he strikes a deal with a trespassing thief to see the floating lanterns up close, one last time.

    Eddie Diaz never lets himself want anything. Not when his son’s future depends on him stealing, doing whatever it takes to provide. But when he takes the crown, his last-ditch effort to finally stop running, he realises too late that he’s stolen more than he bargained for. Now, with half the kingdom at his heels, his only way out is a strange man with impossible hair and an even more impossible demand.

    Two days. One journey. And a new dream neither of them is ready for.

    Summary

    “Oh my god.” She turned towards Hen, eyes wide, before rushing towards the door, stumbling as she went.

    “Maddie, wait!” Hen called, clutching the baby to her chest. “What is it?” Maddie thrust the phone towards Hen.
    “How long can you stay? Could you… can I call Chim’s mom? I don’t know how long I’ll be, and -”

    “Maddie! Hold on…” She peered at the phone in her hand and raised an eyebrow. “Jesus. Only Buck. Okay, Maddie, wait. Eddie says he’ll take care of him, alright?”

    “I…” Maddie paused, one foot in a shoe and one hand clutching keys.

    “Maddie. Look. I know you’re worried right now, but Eddie wouldn’t lie to you. And if there’s one thing we can trust him to do, it’s take care of Buck, right?”

    The boys take different paths to process their grief, and somehow still end up at the same place.

    Featuring: Undiagnosed ADHD, sensory seeking behavior, bad coping skills, Buck 1.2, Eddie figuring some stuff out and being the one with his shit together (for once), and a scheming Maddie.

    Summary

    Evan got out of the car, breathing in the scent of water and wet humus. A barrier stood at the edge of a cliff, the lake at its foot. The urge to put himself in danger, to do something stupid and reckless gut-wrenched him as soon as he saw the opportunity. He climbed onto the fence, tiptoeing the edge.

    The boy wobbled, his heart skipping a beat. Wild with emotion, his arms flailed in the air to stabilize him as a peak of adrenaline rushed through his veins. That felt so good. Focusing his mind on the not-so-easy task of keeping his balance, he let a wide grin show on his lips for the first time in days.

    ”Evan!” Margaret shrieked, and the surprise made him fall over, on the good side of the cliff, though. The boy tumbled at his mother’s feet as she pressed at his side.

    Now, he wasn’t invisible.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley has always been able to see ghosts, to the point if it weren't for his sister he would've been medicated.
    He meets Eddie Diaz when he's 22, they fall in love at 26, Eddie Diaz dies at 30 years old when a structure collapses.

    "I can't see him Maddie, I..."
    "Christopher?" Buck shakes his head as the weight in his chest grows. "You think maybe..."
    Buck shook his head harshly.
    "No, he wouldn't without saying goodbye.... I haven't seen any of them since he died... it's like the world went quiet."
    "Buck..." Christopher whimpers as he walks into the living room. "I can't..."
    Buck nods and hugs him too, tight against his chest.
    ~
    "I'm still here..."
