    Summary

    Buck has never meant to keep it a secret from the one-eighteen. Hell, he trusts them with much more gritty, uncomfortable stuff than that. It’s more like… It hasn’t come up. There’s been no reason for it to come up.

    But then he gets struck by lightning and the mix-up with his medical records happens. A nurse he hasn’t seen yet barges into Buck’s hospital room, with his entire family in it, blood and found alike, and stares at him for one dumbfounded moment before blurting out a name he hasn’t been addressed by in well over eight years. And, really, Buck could’ve brushed it off as her having walked into the wrong room, but she makes sure to add the Buckley at the end of it. Not Maddie Buckley, not Margaret Buckley, but a Buckley name that hasn’t heard the light of day in so long that most people in this room who knew of her had by now forgotten she ever existed.

    ______

    OR everyone finds out that Buck is trans and has a conversation with him.

    Summary

    “I think I am a mistake,” Nicolò confesses.

    “I thought God didn’t make mistakes.”

    “You tell me.”

    Andromache nudges his shoulder. “I do not think you are a mistake.”

    “If there is to be a man to walk the world for thousands of suns, let it be a man like Yusuf,” Nicolò says. “A man who understands the weight of the sword, who trades in kindness, loyalty and honor. A man who can find beauty in a simple sunrise.”

    “And what of a man like you?” Andromache asks.

    “There are already too many men like me in this world,” Nicolò answers. “And we can cause more than enough damage within a mortal lifespan.”

    Andromache is silent next to him. Somehow, Nicolò knows she understands. For as old as she is, she has likely seen far too many men like him already.

    They stand in silence for a few minutes before she asks, “Do you love him?”

    Nicolò ponders for a moment. “I do not think love is enough.”


    Nicolò di Genova has lived a long life. He has much to show for it, but somehow still nothing at all.

    This is Nicky's companion piece to 'Beautiful Ghosts'. 'Beautiful Ghosts' should be read first (but likely not imperative).

    Summary

    Bucky pushed a hand through his hair. Everything felt like it was spinning. “But you want what they want. You want me to stop talking. You want to muzzle me again.”

    “Is that what they said?” Sam asked, “they want to muzzle you?”

    “They want to give me a helmet. Cover my face.”

    “Bucky,” Sam’s voice went deep, serious. “I’m not going to let that happen.”
