Summary
eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.
except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.
it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.
meanwhile, the world goes on.
(or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

"Maddie," says Chim, pulling back with a very serious look. Handsome features drawn sharply, amusement contained in the twitch of his mouth. "Now that I've won the big game—will you go to prom with me?"

Summary
No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
Once he’s safely in the Jeep Buck lets his head fall back against the seat. He’s not having a panic attack, he’s not going to be sick, and he’s certainly not going to cry. Buck just feels lost. Suddenly he’s as much the kid the others think him to be. How is he supposed to cope with this.
“Why are you still fucking dead?” Buck asks the imaginary Bobby in the passenger seat. “You were supposed to be here for me for this sort of shit. You were supposed to tell me what to do.”
In the wake of Bobby's death and the birth of his nephew, Buck receives a diagnosis and makes some well meaning, but ultimately ill considered life choices. Will the path he's set himself on break him? Or will it be the making of the next new iteration of Buck?
