    Summary

    Really, Alex had more of a life left than Nigel. He could go home, fabricate some story, condemn Nigel with his own delusions and get off scot-free. Of course he could – he was in the position to, wasn’t he, smart and white and with a future, free of bias from the system. But this control over Nigel – he didn’t want to relinquish that. And Nigel had nowhere to go.
       And, although he would never say it out loud, the rush of the gun under his chin and Nigel at his feet was something that he would quite like to replicate. The risk. The reward. 

    ♠︎

    The gun misfires. Alex realises he can hold himself hostage to keep Nigel alive. They flee to London and begin to dance around faux-normality, but it won't last long.

    Summary

    He could’ve handled it, really, if it'd just been him, alone, white-knuckling his way through a month of celibacy. Sure, it might've been hard, but it wasn't impossible. It wasn't like he'd never gone a while without getting off before.

    But then there was Eddie.

    Buck hadn't come in nearly four weeks, and Eddie was certainly no fucking help.

    Summary

    “Eddie,” a familiar voice cuts through, and the sound alone almost makes him sob. He thought he’d forgotten her voice. Kim had a lot of elements of her, but not this, never this. Not her voice, not her laugh, not her.

    Eddie squeezes his eyes shut, shoving the shirt harder against his side, grunting as another pulse of pain radiates through him.

    “Not now, Shannon,” Eddie grits out, teeth clenched. “I can’t do this. I can’t—”

    “You got something better to do?” Shannon asks.

    OR: Trapped in an elevator, Eddie finally gets some closure.

    Summary

    The darkness of his room feels suffocating, and he glances around, half-expecting to see the mysterious figure from his dream lurking in the corners.

    “Just a dream,” he sighs, running a hand through his hair. The adrenaline still courses through him, and he can’t help but feel a sense of unease.

    He reaches for his phone, still feeling the urgency of the dream. “Buck. I need Buck.”

    Summary

    “It’s true,” Eddie mutters, wrapping his arms around himself, “It’s not like anyone would miss me. Christopher will be taken care of -”

    “Eddie, stop,” Buck snaps, his voice firm but laced with concern. “I will not let you go down that path. You matter, and so does your son. You’re not just a dad; you’re Christopher’s dad. He needs you, and I need you!”

    Eddie shakes his head, tears brimming in his eyes. “Buck -”
