Summary
Maddie is fourteen when her brother dies, and two days later her parents pack their lives up into the car and tell her it’s time to go. Only, there’s something injured sitting in the back seat and nobody will tell her what it is.
Buck knows that he’s missing some years from his childhood and that the accident that took them from him is the same one that left him with patchwork scars all over his body. He just doesn’t realize that those years aren’t missing like a lost thing, but like a thing that was never there to begin with.
They’re both dealing with it.

Summary
The entire apartment has been eggshells, lately. She can’t bring up anything meaningful in conversation without Harry’s jaw clenching, his eyes going hard and blank à la Athena Grant. Can’t talk about Mom, or Bobby. At least now she knows why he’s been pissy when she’d ask about school these past few months. Harry makes sure to steer clear of any discussion about their actual lives; May walks the line, dipping a toe into the murky waters sometimes just to see if he’ll still bite. He does, every time, and she backs off like a coward.
So it’s this— sitting on the couch with popcorn. Half invested in watching The Bachelor and half invested in watching Buck repeatedly frog a single line of navy blue crochet. Glancing at Harry every time something funny happens just to catch him smile. It’s pretending things are okay.
Or, May and Buck are at a loss with Harry's anger, and Eddie is more than happy to lend a hand. And a set of boxing gloves.

Eddie has always been able to read Buck, but when the light goes out it's suddenly too dark to make out the text.
Buck is just reading Wikipedia.

Summary
Buck feels raw when he wakes up. His face hurts and he’s got a pounding headache. He’s overwarm and not alone. Something moves on his arm—
He slaps at it blindly.
“Ow, fuck! What the hell, man?” Eddie whisper-shouts, startled but still endearingly mindful of the quiet sanctity of the bunk room.
“I thought you were a bug,” Buck croaks.
Buck is just trying to do what Bobby told him to do. It might require an extended bug metaphor to get there.

Summary
Eddie has never flipped his phone over so fast. Chris looks up, eyebrows raised.
“Did Buck send you another snake picture?” he asks.
He can't say no, because Buck… Buck did. But not of a rattlesnake mid-strike this time. He sent an entirely different sort of snake. He nods, his throat too dry to speak.
Buck sends Eddie a nude. Eddie can't stop thinking about it.

Summary
The man was beautiful. Hair as gold as dawn sunlight, eyes like the endless blue depths of a midsummer afternoon. His face was a marble angel’s, the lines of brow and cheek and jaw almost too mathematically perfect. Every good sculptor always knew to put in a flaw. His was in his front teeth, just a little too large, and it made Merlin dig his fingernails into his palms. He was lithe, muscular, dressed in black. Half-dressed - his jerkin was unbuttoned, his shirt open nearly to his navel, and he was missing a sock. His hair had the raked-through look of a man in crisis. His smile was dazzling and mad.
“This,” he said, spreading his hands, “is the magnificent - nay, the opulent court of the Crown Prince of Camelot!”
And then, very pleasantly - “Gaius, what the fuck is this?”
OR - When Merlin goes to find Gaius, he's told that he's left Camelot. Tracing his would-be mentor, Merlin finds himself at a tumbledown castle on the edge of a hill. There are chickens, radishes, a knight who'd much rather focus on his squash and a strange voice calling in the night. And a secret hidden in the heart of Castle Perilous. The secret behind the most important rule: don't bleed.
