    Summary

    Buck is used to pain – physical, constant and familiar enough to ignore. It’s just another thing he pushes through on long shifts at the station, even when it gets worse for no clear reason.
    But ignoring pain is easy compared to ignoring Eddie.

    Between unspoken tension, stolen touches, and something neither of them has named yet, Buck finds himself unraveling in the quiet hours of a 24-hour shift. And when Eddie finally stops waiting for him to say it first, there’s no room left for pretending this is just friendship anymore.
    Or, what starts with hands on Buck’s aching leg turns into something far more dangerous than pain management.

    Summary

    Eddie answers on the third ring. “Buck?” His voice is rough with sleep, low and gravelly. “Do you know what time it is?”

    Buck tries to lift his phone to his mouth, but the motion of his shoulder curling forward shifts his wing again, the tip of one brushing against the sheets. They’re huge. Bigger than he can process. He still can’t make himself look.

    The only thing that escapes him is a soft, pained whimper.

    Eddie suddenly seems a lot less tired. His voice sharpens instantly. “What’s going on? Are you hurt?”

    Another whine tears from Buck as the pain flares, muscles along the top of the wings tensing, fluttering behind him. He can see their span now, crowding the edges of his vision—and somehow, it feels like they’re still growing.

    “E-Eddie,” he chokes out. “I-I don’t know. There’s so much blood.”

    OR Buck wakes up with wings tearing themselves out of him. Eddie soothes the pain.

    Summary

    It's been five states and two months since the diner. They've only got $68.35 left of Randy's savings, and Benson says, half-joking, “Shit, maybe we should rob a bank.”

    “We’ll just pick a bank that deserves it," Randy says. "One that’s run by shitty people.” It catches Benson off guard, because he laughs at him at first. Then he looks again, sees he’s only half-joking too.

    “Burgers Burgers Burgers was run by shitty people,” he tells Randy, like Randy can’t still taste the mold in the back of his throat sometimes. “And you worked there.”

    Randy shrugs. He never used to shrug in answer to people. It’s impolite, his mom always said. Use your words. She still calls him nearly every single day. He ignores it every time.

    “If there’s a me working at the bank, he’ll get over it,” Randy says, and he doesn’t see it at the time, but something in Benson splinters at that.
