    Summary

    "You think you’re dreaming.”

    Eddie hesitates, sitting back down slowly. “I am dreaming.”

    “Ah!” Buck says, blue eyes wide. “Or— or maybe you’re not. Maybe this is just a-a different life.”

    “A different life?” Eddie frowns. “What?”

    “You know,” Buck insists, “like, you went to sleep and you woke up somewhere else, in a different version of your life. And— and to get back, you probably have to do something.”

    “Like a— a parallel universe?”

    in which Eddie goes to sleep and wakes up somewhere else, Buck helps him get back home, and along the way Eddie learns what it means to choose juice.

    Summary

    Eddie would never claim to be knowledgeable when it comes to flowers, but he knows what a rose or a lily looks like. These are smaller—a deep color, almost dark brown, warm red undertones. The center is lighter, almost gleaming like little specks of gold. 

    “They, uh—chocolate cosmos, I think they said? A-apparently they represent deep and everlasting love, but when I saw them, all I could think was how they looked like your eyes.” 

    Oh.

    Summary

    “I got this thing,” Eddie says, catching him in his tracks.

    “Thing?”
    Buck turns fully toward Eddie, because if Eddie’s gonna drop something on him, he’s going to look directly at it. No mercy.

    Eddie blinks – once, twice – the only crack in his cool.

    “A while back, an army buddy invited me to his wedding. Figured by the time it rolled around, I’d… have someone.” He breathes out through his nose. “So I put down a plus one.”

    Buck loses it a little, falling victim to this bright grin that won’t quit.

    “The wedding’s Saturday. If you don’t have plans… you wanna come with me?”

    Buck’s smile falters. His chest does this weird, traitorous flutter he absolutely did not authorize.

    “Yeah,” he blurts, fast enough to shut down whatever escape hatch Eddie’s about to offer him. “Yes. Sure. I mean – yeah.”


    or, Eddie invites Buck as his plus one to his buddy’s wedding; it all goes exactly like one would expect.

    Summary

    Buck steps closer, takes the knife from Eddie’s hand, the movement careful and gentle, and sets it aside. “Hey,” he tilts his head into Eddie’s line of sight. “What’s going on?”

    “You know that thing that’s been going around, about the sun?”

    “The dimming thing? Eddie, that’s–”

    “It’s not,” he cuts him off right away. “The sun is losing output, we have data. And not gradually, not in a way that gives us centuries – we’re talking a decade. Two, tops.”

    Buck leans his hip against the counter beside him, crosses his arms over his chest. “…okay.”

    “There’s a team that’s been on it and they think they have a lead on a solution. They need someone to go out there and retrieve whatever the thing is and bring it back.”

    “Why are you telling me this?”

    “It’s going to be a three person crew. A scientist, an engineer, and someone to fly the ship.”

    The silence sits around Eddie’s neck, drawing tighter with every second that passes.

    He can see the moment the realization darkens Buck’s eyes.

    “And that someone is you.”

    Eddie leaves for what everyone believes is a one-way mission to save the Sun.

    Or,
    a loose project Hail Mary AU.
