    Summary

    Evan isn't sure what his life will look like once he finally gets out of Hershey. He's daydreamed about a life; a job he loves, people he trusts, a family that might actually want him around.

    In all of his fantasies, he'd never pictured this: pregnant at 18, halfway through his first year of college.

     

    OR, the one where Buck leaves Hershey and becomes a single parent, landing in LA when his daughter is five. There, he joins the Fire Academy and meets an instructor that might just be the home he's been searching for: Eddie Diaz.

    Summary

    “Listen,” Daniel shifted, his white coat creasing at the elbows. “He's enamored... With the idea of being a firefighter, that is.” Daniel filled in as though Eddie had asked for more information.

    “Daniel.” Maddie said in a stern, curt tone. “Stop it.”

    “I just think he should know.” Daniel gestured lazily, but defended passionately. “Evan can't do it.”

    --

    Three things happen pretty quickly in Eddie’s life: he moves to Boston, he meets a bar manager, and in falling in love with him and all of his mysteries, learns how to fall in love with his life again.

    Or the story of breaking the glass to get to the other side.

    Summary

    “Have you ever been told you’re a carrier?”

    Buck blinks, the words not processing right in his brain.

    He’s not. He knows he’s not.

    “No.” He says eventually. “No, i- i can’t be. I’m not.”

    “Buck-”

    -
    Or, Buck thinks Eddie made his choice, so when he finds out he's pregnant, he says nothing.

    Summary

    Buck knew B Shift had been rough on the gear, it was mentioned during hand over, but he hadn't expected only one working harness for a cliffside rescue.

    Or anything that came after the harness snapped and he fell to the water below. But how was he to expect a Pod of man-hating Mermaids or that they couldn't just let him leave?

     

    What was that about a Moon Pool?
