    Summary

    “What’s this?” asks Buck, picking up a pamphlet from the loft’s kitchen counter.

    “I’m pretty sure you can read, Buck,” answers Chim, popping his gum. Usually, Buck wouldn’t be irritated by that, but Chim’s the interim captain due to Bobby’s cruise, and everything gets on his nerves.

    “I can read,” Buck huffs. “I’m just confused. How does this work?”

    He looks down at the pamphlet again. The deep red letters that say, are you a first responder looking for a buddy who understands your woes? — Fireapp’s got you covered!

    _____

    OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

    — NOW WITH AN ADDED EPILOGUE —

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”

    “She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.

    Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.

    or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    Here’s the thing about Kaeya: he’s a liar. He obscures and deceives, and he does it to himself nearly as much as he does to other people. He got really good at it while Diluc was away on his cross-country tour of rage.

    He’s worried he’s not as good with Diluc back in town.

    Summary

    “Did I do that…?”
    Kaeya couldn’t remember ever hearing Diluc sound so small. Not since the night Master Crepus had died. Not since that very wound had been branded onto him. The memory of it made the scar ache, along with another deeper hurt that he felt in his bones.
