    Summary

    The shattering sound of plates erupted in the air like a crack of thunder and Eddie’s gaze shot up from his phone. Something was wrong. It was a hair thin trigger that had been switched the moment he caught sight of his boyfriend and the whole world could’ve stopped for all Eddie knew. Buck was staring down at his hands, breathing way too fast, and drowning in some kind of panic that only he could see.

    “Eddie?” Carla called. “Is everything all right?”

    Something must have shown on his face if she took the phone away from Christopher.

    “My hands won’t work,” Buck said so quietly.

    Summary

    This can’t be happening.

    The ring didn’t fit him less than a minute ago, and now it’s stuck. It’s stuck and Tommy’s wearing a big ‘I stole something and I'm a fucking idiot’ sign on his hand. Forget the guards, it’s expensive enough that if someone sees him wearing it he’s dead. He doubts many people would stop at just trying to pull it off of him.

    He pinches himself. It hurts. This is not a nightmare. Not in the literal sense at least- it’s definitely a metaphorical nightmare. Tommy’s worst nightmare, specifically.

    This is the worst day.

    In which Tommy is a street kid, SBI are the royal family. And there's magic.

    Summary

    Things are almost good for a little while. There is something like safety, like healing settling over the little cabin in the snow.

    It feels a little bit like coming home, Tommy thinks, but he doesn’t say it out loud. It scares him sometimes, this vulnerability, this stability that could be torn out from under his feet at any moment. Trust is something he has felt like a knife in his back over and over. Trust is falling again and again even though there’s never anyone there to catch him before he hits the ground. Trust is broken bones and split lips, trust is spitting out blood and using his tongue to check for loose teeth.

    And yet, and yet, when the same hands that curled into fists once before extend as open palmed offerings, he still takes them. Dream called him stupid, helpless, naive. Dream was right, Tommy knows, but Dream smelled like gunpowder and a bitter kind of smoke.

    The smoke here is sweet and Tommy has never been one to learn from his mistakes.

    Tommy had been Theseus for a little while. Tommy had been Icarus, Atlas, Prometheus.

    But before all of that, he had been Tommy. Maybe there was a place for him to be again, now, in the after.
