    Summary

    “I like your eye spots,” the kid says, reaching for a glue stick.

    “Thank you,” he says. “It’s a birthmark.”

    “I’ve never seen a birthmark before!” The kid gasps. “How do you get one?”

     

    Or, Buck gets crushed by a ladder truck and chooses to glass-half-full it. He volunteers to teach a kid's art class at the library. He meets a kid and his dad and his cup end ups very, very full.

    Summary

    Buck’s had many names that tie him to different moments of his life.

    He was Evan Buckley: Reckless, loved only by Maddie, his heart so empty he did anything to fill it.

    Then, he became Buck Buckley, the name he usually resides in: Carefully impulsive, heart half full.

    He had those two names to go by, one he hated and one he felt at home in. And then, the Diaz family turned the concept of names, of who he could be, on its head. And Buck, never having a family who did nicknames the way they do, Buck could only hold on and try not crumble at the sheer sight of being loved.

    (Or: 4 times the Diaz family gives Buck a ridiculous nickname + the 1 time they don't)

    Summary

    “I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.

    Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”

    “Buck, I—”

    “She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”

    -----

    A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

    Summary

    Buck was going to kill him.

    That was Eddie’s first thought when his brain processed the fact that he’d walked their kid right into the middle of a fucking bank heist.

    ------

    Or: Eddie vs. not picking a fight with three armed bank robbers; Buck vs. not intervening in an active hostage situation. Challenge level: impossible.
