    Summary

    Now that he's looking for it, Yuuji can feel it: the words are etched into him, woven into his muscles and carved into his bones. Start by saving me, Itadori. Yuuji promised he would, so now he must.

    The burning pain is starting to come back again. It begins in his chest this time, slightly to the right. Yuuji swallows, reaching up to press his hand against it.

    So, he thinks dazedly, as the universe begins to take him apart. This is what happens when you break a Binding Vow.

    -

    Megumi dies in Shinjuku. Yuuji is thrown back in time to save him. Again, and again, and again.

    (Or: Yuuji says “I’ll save you, Fushiguro” and the universe says “bet.”)

    Summary

    They had a couple of months together, that's all. It's less time than Buck spent seeing some of his friends with benefits, far less time than Eddie had with Ana, nothing compared to the years of history Shannon brought with her when she came back into Eddie's life and stamped Buck out of it.

    A couple of months. Probably not enough time to fall in love.

    in which there is a breakup, a doorway, and four years of building a life.

    Summary

    The traffic moves. Buck contemplates pulling over on the side of the road and running off into the distance.

    This is none of his fucking business, and he doesn't understand why the memory of Eddie looking up at this man makes him feel like there's a ball of snakes writhing in his stomach, why his face is burning.

    “I,” Eddie says, and in his periphery, Buck catches him stretching his legs out in the footwell, “wasn't interested.”

    Buck swallows his first response, which is didn't look like it, because he's an asshole on a good day, but he's not that bad.

    It's okay for Eddie to be interested. It's okay for him to date, and Buck wants that for him, except—

    or: christopher is becoming his own person, eddie doesn't want to date until he suddenly does, buck is just trying to get his best friend out of the house, and the whole shivering, chest-aching-knees-knocking thing that keeps happening to him whenever eddie smiles real wide is nothing to worry about.

    Summary

    He wakes up with Eddie's arm thrown over his waist.

    There's a pit in his stomach as soon as he opens his eyes, because the alarm is on again, the same radio station, the same song. The sunlight streaming into the room is buttery-soft, brand new because it's early. The alarm is ringing so they can take Chris to school. And—

    He reaches out for the bedside table on his side of the bed they share, clumsily unplugs his phone one-handed. The screen lights up to a familiar wallpaper, and it's right there, just above the top of Buck's head: Wednesday.

    or: buck breaks up with eddie, even if it means losing a part of himself, because it's the right thing to do. the universe decides to test that conviction.

    Summary

    “Look,” Buck says, “Anyone can say that they’re bi.” He narrows his eyes. “I’d have to date a guy to prove it.”

    “You’ve dated guys, Buck,” Karen points out, backing up her wife. “Even if you hadn’t, you’re still bisexual. I don’t see why you’re so insistent that no one will believe you.”

    “You should get a nose piercing,” May says helpfully, while texting one-handed. “All bisexuals have nose piercings.”
