    Summary

    Three weeks after Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck gets a call in the middle of the night from a trauma center in El Paso. Eddie was in a serious car accident and has been rushed into surgery for a skull fracture. Buck rushes to Texas, finding that things are even messier than he imagined, and that's before Eddie wakes up and confesses that he's not sure it was actually an accident. That he might have done it on purpose. So Buck does what his parents never did for him: he steps in, all the way, and helps put his little family back together.

    Summary

    “Your boy will be strong and fast. Steadfast in both mind and heart. He will grow to be something of pride.”
    “And…” the man’s eyes passed over the youth. It stared keenly, watching as the man flinched away when he set eyes upon it, “the other one…?”
    “Shall be left to the fates design. I will do no more.”

    Before it returned the cherub to them, it touched the child gently on the forehead, marking it with the Wild of the Water.

    The child, too small to understand the gift he had been given, looked back at it without a hint of fear or disdain. He was too young yet to feel otherness, too pure of heart. Perhaps with the Water’s help, he never would.

    It watched the man and the woman return to their mortal land with the boy, and it wondered what they would make of its trickery.

    After all, it hadn’t lied. It had promised one of their sons would grow to be strong and sure, and that another would be left to chance.

    It simply hadn’t told them which son.

    OR -

    When Buck's parents try to exchange him for Daniel's health, they're hit with unforeseen circumstances. 5 times Eddie tries to get Buck to open up and tell him the truth, and the one time Buck actually does.

    Summary

    The guy gets straight to the point, asking, "What do you need?" in a dull, bored voice.

    "My best friend is going to die. I want that to… not happen."

    "No small feat, bringing back the dead. And it comes at a cost."

    It's Eddie. Buck says, "Yes," without a second thought.

     

    (Or: what happens when you're down so bad that you have your "best friend" brought back from the dead)

    Summary

    “You’re really starting over, then,” Eddie says.

     

    “That’s what I wanted,” Buck replies. “Clean slate, you know?”

     

    “Well, you’re welcome to stay here as long as you need,” Eddie says, knocking his shoulder against Buck’s. “That should go without saying.”

     

    When Buck had hastily packed his bag and slipped out the door to his Jeep, he hadn’t really known where he was heading for the night. He thought about going to Maddie’s place, or even Albert’s new apartment, but in the end he’d driven himself here—to Eddie’s.

     

    Buck moves in. Eddie comes out. Things get a little messy.
