    A series of vignettes centered on Buck and Tommy getting to know each other and falling in love.

    These can all be read as standalone pieces but they do form a coherent arc with callbacks as well.

    Summary

    This is a story about two men meeting on a beach in 1985, at a hotel in 2002, in a firehouse in 2021, and in the hospital in 2023 and 2024. Here's how it starts:

    The man smiles, and it's like a hit to the gut. He's beautiful. “I think jumping into the ocean might be a bit harder than getting a cat from a tree.”

    “You've never seen the trees in Minnesota,” Bobby jokes, tapping the book lightly against his thigh. “You from around here?”

    “Pennsylvania. I'm just on vacation, needed a weekend away. I haven't surfed in a while, and I was missing it,” he says, glancing down at the surfboard with something like longing. “It's a hell of a thing, you know.”

    “Looks like it,” Bobby agrees, hooking the handle of the mug on one of the fingers on his other hand. “I'm Bobby.”

    “Phillip,” he says, shaking Bobby's hand.

    Summary

    A tenth of what keeps California running hails from the hearth of this modern relic. It’s legitimately riveting. The scale of it is nearly unfathomable.

    How is it possible that Tommy's the same age as this monolith of the nuclear age? It jars him, it humbles him. Both of them have spent forty years going and going, not stopping for breath.

    Tommy and Evan find each other again. All it takes is a power plant, a corrupt fire chief, and a couple of exes.

    Summary

    "Look who's talking. Come on, it's just me," Buck says, like that's an argument or something, and it must work, because when he leans across to push play, Eddie doesn't stop him.

    Or: Buck walks in on Eddie watching porn. It escalates from there.

    Summary

    “You a cop?” he asks, and the guy shakes his head.

    Tommy's met his fair share of bunker bunnies, but they tend to be smaller and less his type. Mostly because they're almost always women, in his experience.

    “Just a fan, then?” he teases, and the flush deepens. He wants to see how far down it goes, what it looks like under one of his hands.

    “Guess you could say that.” He scratches the back of his neck before holding out his hand. “I'm Evan.”

    “Tommy,” he replies, shaking his hand.

    --

    Tommy meets a bunker bunny in a bar - or does he?
