    Summary

    Being fourteen and not ten, Christopher decides that it is his god-given right (they never said that in any of the services his grandparents took him to, but Chris is an excellent extrapolator) to be exactly 28.5% more dramatic than he was at ten years old. A percentage he wouldn’t have needed his calculator for if his dad had already taken him back to LA, because then he could’ve just asked Buck for the answer.

    All of this to say, he decides to go for a greyhound.

    Christopher Diaz decides to run away from home (again). He runs directly, somehow, into a nineteen year old Evan Buckley. They both run less directly into a nineteen year old Eddie Diaz. All three of them, in some way, are trying to run home.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe this.” A voice Eddie recognizes all too well. He turns around and there he sees her, still in that yellow floral dress. “I carried that child in me for 9 months, only to have him grow up looking like your seven year situationship?!”

    Eddie blanks. He doesn’t know what she means by “seven year situationship”, but he does know that she’s talking about Chris, with his curls that could rival Buck’s and…oh. That’s what she means.

    Summary

    Buck tilts his head, eyebrows scrunching as he takes in the array of flowers, “What’s all this, superman?”

    Chris rolls his eyes, “Flowers, duh.”

    “Fair enough, that was kind of a stupid question, but why?”

    “So, we can press them!” Chris picks up a daisy, twirling it. “And next week, if they’re dry we can make bookmarks, or stickers!”

    “You actually want to come back next week?”

    If he rolls his eyes any harder, Chris thinks his eyes might get stuck, “That’s another dumb question, you’re my best friend.”

    ✽⊱ ⚘ ⊰✽

    After the tsunami, Chris thinks Buck needs to know something really important.

    Summary

    One time last year, Julie at school asked him why he looked so tired, and Chris was too tired to think about it, so he just told the truth, just said “I had a dream about my mom last night.”

    And Julie sort of ducked her head, a little awkward and then hopeful, like maybe it was something they had in common, “I dream about my cousin who died a few years ago sometimes. It’s like we’re still hanging out, like she’s not dead for a minute. It’s kind of nice, right?”

    “Right,” said Chris, but it was a lie. In Chris’s dreams, Mom is always dying.

    Or, Chris does the Kim plot instead of Eddie.

    Summary

    For as long as he can remember, Buck has always been able to communicate with the dead. Not by choice. But because they were always there. Always lingering.

    The first time he'd ever spoken directly to one was on his sixth birthday. It was a boy, a few years older than he was, wearing a baseball cap. He introduced himself as Daniel.


    A story about acceptance, reasons to stay, love and longing, and finding yourself amongst other things.

    Summary

    “Eddie, don’t go into the light. You can’t, okay?”

    Eddie looks around him. “What light?”

    “You— Okay, that’s— that’s a good sign. I think.”

    “Shannon, what’s— what’s going on?” And then Eddie realizes. “Am I dead?” She grimaces. “I am, aren’t I?”

    “I don’t— I don’t know, Eddie.”

    --

    Eddie wakes up in a strange reality, chats with an old friend, and figures out what he wants in life.

    Summary

    Instead, Buck had turned, finally looking at him and announced that Eddie had ‘scored a 12,’ which meant that he was ‘fine,’ and left the room. Eddie had stared at the final spot where Buck disappeared, not understanding what had happened, but realising that he had failed a test that no one told him that he had to study for.

    And it seems that Eddie just keeps failing.

    Or, in the aftermath of their fight, Eddie tries to figure out what he needs.

    Summary

    Christopher wants his mom back.

    He doesn’t mean to do it. It’s just that he keeps forgetting pieces of her.

    Chris likes Marisol, but when she hugs him she smells wrong. He doesn’t remember what smelling right would be; he stops at the CVS after school one day and goes down the whole row of conditioners smelling each of them like some kind of creep, and none of them smell like Mom.

    ***

    Or: Christopher Diaz brings a frog back from the dead, and then he brings a woman in a tsunami back from the dead. He doesn’t mean to bring back his mother.

    Summary

    He’s big, is the first thing Eddie notices about him. Not just his body - though his shoulders are broad and his biceps are thick - but his presence, too. He’s so commanding that he’s impossible to miss; he draws all of Eddie’s attention even as he sits silent and motionless, like he’s trying to disappear. He has a halo of curls on his head and a shock of pink above his left eye.

    Angel, Eddie thinks, and something twists uncomfortably inside his chest.

     

    Or: Eddie is a priest, and Buck is a firefighter, and once their worlds collide nothing will ever be the same again.

    Summary

    Chris stumbles across Eddie's teenage journal, forcing him to re-evaluate everything he ever thought he knew about his parents.

    -or-

    The second Chris saw the beat-up leather journal with “Property of Eddie Diaz” emblazoned on the front in a somewhat childish version of his dad’s familiar scrawl, he knew that he should put it back beneath the loose floorboard where it had stayed hidden away for probably a decade and a half. No doubt placed there as a way of keeping it hidden from the prying hands of two nosy younger sisters and parents that Chris was increasingly learning could be unbearably overbearing.

    But he didn’t want to.

    Summary

     

    “Well, I hate to tell you this, then, but apparently that's repression.”

     

    He tries for a laugh. It comes out more like a croak.

     

    “You wouldn't be the first to accuse me of that.”

     

    “Yeah?”

     

    This is a mistake. This is— he should leave. He should put his stupid shirt back on, wish Vanessa good luck with whatever it is she’s dealing with, get in an uber and go home. And whatever the door is that’s slowly creaking open in his mind, he needs to shut it.

     

    He clears his throat. Tries to make his voice sound normal.

     

    “So… do you still need a date for that wedding?”

    Or: Eddie dates a lesbian, Buck spirals, and everyone loses at trivia.

    Summary

    So, truly, Eddie Diaz has loved Evan Buckley for longer than he has loved himself. Loved him the way he could never love Ana or Marisol, loved him more than Shannon even. Because while he could love the idea of Shannon, he loved the entirety of Buck, the good, the bad, the real.
    Evan Buckley was the Sun, and Eddie Diaz was not the Moon, nor a Star but he would gladly love the Sun anyway.

    or: all eddie diaz has ever wanted was to be held

    Summary

    The first time Eddie met the devil, she bore a leather jacket and a mischievous glint in her eyes and she taught him the meaning of joy and friendship and recklessness. Then, she taught him that actions have consequences.
    The second time Eddie met the devil, he bore a smile like sunshine and a heart that was bigger than any Eddie had ever seen before and he taught him that family was a thing that was forged with fire and blood. Then, he taught him the meaning of loss.
    The third time Eddie met the devil, he bore the ease of self-confidence and self-acceptance and he taught him that happiness was a thing that was possible. Then, he taught him that happiness was a thing that only happened to other people.

    ***

    Eddie learns that there is holiness in sin.
