    Summary

    After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.

    As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.

    A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

    Summary

    After Nora bails on their trip, Alex decides (reluctantly) to go alone.

    He was the last one on the bus, which meant most of the seats were taken. He scanned the rows until he spotted a familiar head of blond hair. His stomach dropped.

    Is that…Henry? Like Prince of England Henry? Like Mr. Perfect? Mr. Uptight-and-Unbearable? Like—Fuck now he’s staring.

    Henry looked up, equally horrified to see Alex. “Well,” he said dryly, “this is unexpected.”

    Alex groaned. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

    Summary

    “God, Dad. No.” He huffed in displeasure. “I'm not— It's Buck, Dad.”

    Eddie barely ever heard that name anymore, except for an echo in his own head, and he went still, looking down at his phone and then replacing it by his ear.

    “What— what about him?” Eddie asked, hoping he sounded less thrown off guard than he felt. Hoping he sounded less breathless through the phone than he did to his own ears.

    “I got, um, an invite. To his wedding.”

    OR -

    A story told across five years. Eddie finds out Buck is marrying someone else and reflects on what brought them to this - and what, if anything, he can do about it.

    Summary

    When the 118 responds to a charity kissing contest gone wrong at a local college, they expect minor injuries and some awkward stories—not two students stuck together by their braces and pinned to a shattered table. As Buck and Eddie handle the chaos, the crowd turns its attention to the two “hot firefighters,” proposing a kiss between them for charity.

    What starts as a playful, crowd-pleasing moment quickly shifts into something deeper. The kiss leaves Eddie flustered, Buck smug, and their team armed with endless teasing material. But as the laughter fades, Eddie finds himself grappling with feelings he hadn’t expected—about the kiss, about Buck, and about himself.

    The first in a five-part series, explores Eddie’s journey as he begins to question his sexuality, navigate his growing feelings for Buck, and face the possibility that their friendship might be something more.

    Summary

    There is a constant sound in his ears -beep, beep, beep. He can also hear distant voices, but he doesn’t recognize them.
    When he opens his eyes, he blinks rapidly to adjust his sight. The room is almost dark, just a ray of sunshine coming through the window. He is confused: this room is not familiar, this is not his bed, and the walls are white, unlike the soft blue of his bedroom’s walls.

    When he tries to move his hands, they are weird. Something is holding them back. He lifts them and sees cables and an IV line connected to his left arm.

    He panics.

    Henry wakes up after two years in a coma. This is how he reacts when he learns that everyone has moved on, even Alex.
