Summary
You can’t hear anything. Your ears are definitely ringing. It’s harder to shake off the daze when it blends with the kind of pain that makes you want to lie down and never get back up.
But you can’t.
This is something you have to do.
This is something only you can do.
This is how you get back home.
This is how you stay there.
*
You're not even fifteen when, nearly a year after slipping out of your adoptive father's grasp and becoming a vigilante, you attract the very unwanted attention of the Pro-Hero Eraserhead.
Little do you know it will be the greatest gift you ever receive.

Summary
Evan Buckley is not as okay as he'd like to be. He's definitely not as okay as he pretends to be. And he's lapsed back into old habits—one, in particular—that he thought he'd left behind him.
Eddie Diaz is definitely not running from his wife. And he's not repressing anything at all, thank you very much. He's just here for a fresh start with his son, and he's not looking for anything complicated.
Except, somewhere between you're my problem and just trust me, they ended up in bed. Together. With no clothes on.
And that's not going to get complicated at all.
(Or: A rewrite of seasons 1-5 as told through (mostly) vignettes. Except Buck is a walking bisexual disaster barely treading water under the weight of a decade's long self-harm habit, and Eddie is definitely
nota repressed gay man with a reservoir of Catholic guilt just waiting to be activated.) -

Summary
Maybe you’re crazy. You have to be some kind of crazy. Upending your entire life to move to another state on a hunch from a newspaper cutout is definitely not sane behaviour. Hell, the internet exists, and phone books are probably still a thing somewhere. It’s not that hard to find somebody’s phone number these days.
But even if you had found his number, and you managed to work up the courage to actually cold call him, what would you have said? Hi, is this Robert Nash? I’m the adult kid you never knew you had. Want to get coffee sometime?

Summary
It’s the strangest thing, you realise. You don’t seem to remember your name. Actually, you don’t remember... anything. You think you’re supposed to have memories. You’re actually quite sure of it. But when you try to reach for something of history, your mind finds nothing.
For some reason, that doesn’t cause you the dread you think it maybe should.
But you don’t know anything else, and so you grip the one thing you do know like a lifeline. You need to find Jonathan Sims.

Summary
Brandon Saint John will never admit it, but he knows the kids inside out and back to front. He knows their favourite foods, he knows what makes them tick, he knows how to motivate them and how to demotivate them, and he knows what they mean to each other. And, so, he knows when one of them is upset, and he knows it immediately.
(or: Max confides in Brand, and comfort ensues, and everything is going to be okay)

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
“$100 says he’s not taking a girl home tonight,” Eddie wagers.
All four of them look at him with stunned looks on their faces, as if they can’t possibly believe Eddie is being so stupid. Eddie shrugs, holds his arms out in a take it or leave it kind of gesture. Of course, they all think he’s insane, so -
“Deal,” Athena says.
