    Summary

    “You’re late,” Derek informed him coldly, jaw clenched. He barely even moved his mouth to speak. This guy was seriously scary.

    And because Stiles was suicidal, he said, “No, I’m Stiles.”

    The look he got could’ve curdled milk. Stiles even noticed that Derek’s muscles were tensing, arms bulging even more and wow this guy was scary and hot but mostly scary holy shit.

    “You’re not funny,” Derek informed him coldly.

    Stiles shrugged. “I think that’s a matter of opinion.”

    Summary

    By the end of his speech, tears are falling from Buck’s chin to where his hands are still stuck, half-reaching out for Tommy’s. “I’m so sorry,” Buck whispers, with his stupid big eyes and his stupid big heart and of course he looks absolutely gutted, because he’s never felt anything but the full weight of everyone else’s emotions, “I had no idea. You never told me.”

    “I didn’t tell you a lot of things,” Tommy says, “And I regret it. I’m sorry.”

    “It’s okay,” Buck assures him, a tinge of desperation on his tongue, “I—I—I forgive you. I wasn’t there for the first bit, but I’m here now, and—and whatever you need, whatever the—the baby needs, I’ll do it.”

    “You’re gonna be such a good dad,” Tommy smiles, and this is the part he knew was going to hurt. This is the part he almost couldn’t stomach. This is the part he knows he has to do more than anything else. “That’s why I’m relinquishing parental rights. The baby’s going to be yours—just yours.”

    Summary

    Tommy has always been able to see ghosts.

    Usually, they stick around for a few days or weeks, maybe several months before they get what they need to move on. There was one ghost, however, who appeared when Tommy was young and seemed to be unable to get the closure he needed to let go and so he just… never left.

    He got used to it, after a while, and Daniel became a consistent companion throughout his life.

    Or, the one where Tommy can see ghosts and is haunted by Daniel Buckley for reasons it takes him almost thirty years to understand.

    Summary

    Tommy Kinard was not what Buck had been expecting.

    Yes, he was as big and broad shouldered as Buck had imagined him, with a handsome face that was dusted with a few days old stubble. His eyes were a deep blue that threatened to drown him the longer he looked.

    But he had a gentle thoughtfulness around him as he reached forward to take Buck’s hand.

    ---

    Buck is a storm chaser trying to make a name for himself and his team. When their driver quits and Chimney calls in a favor with an old friend his life is turned upside down like a whirlwind.

    Tommy was content with his unexciting, boring life until his old friend Howie called him for a "favor" in exchange for a summer of adventure. After meeting Evan he's not sure he can ever go back to the life he lived before.
