Summary
He was looking for an answer, he’s pretty sure - the answer, whatever that means. He thinks he didn’t want to die without finding it, but life has given him a lot of chances already. Figures he will run out just as he begins to accept it’s time to find a life he can bear living.
He wants to drift away, but there is a weight holding his hand, and it anchors him still.
“You need to hold on,” a voice says to him, “we’re almost there, we’re so close Buck, we’re so close. You need to hold on.”
He would hold on for that voice if he could - he thinks he wants to try, if only so he never has to hear the pain laced through every syllable coming from their mouth. Distantly, he thinks the answer feels within his reach, the one he knows will let him stay, but the lines of it are blurry and he can’t really see it, can’t really figure out what it is trying to say to him.
He drifts away.

Summary
“So, Eddie,” his mother says, making Eddie’s back shoot up rigidly, “it was very nice of you to come to pick Evan up.”
Eddie’s jaw clenches and Buck is reaching out to put a hand on his thigh before he even knows it. He feels Eddie relax.
“No trouble at all, ma’am,” Eddie says in his best treating-annoying-victims-voice. “It’s not a hardship to make sure he comes home to me in one piece.”

Summary
“You found me,” Ronan said. The wind picked up a little, the tiny curls forming on Ronan’s head swaying slightly with the breeze. Adam is suddenly struck with an overwhelming feeling that he doesn’t recognise Ronan, not really. He knows him, always will know him, because every hard line of Ronan Lynch’s soul is etched into Adam’s own. Knows him, because Adam may be a cynical bastard, almost to a fault, but he thinks if souls are real, his always has belonged with Ronan.
“Did you think I wouldn’t?” Adam asks, the slight waver of his voice hinting at the unease he is feeling.
“Post tenebras lux,” Ronan whispers in reply.
Light follows darkness.

or, Adam and Ronan, in the aftermath of everything.

Summary
Buck blinks, “They’re my family.”
“Right, I know that!” Taylor laughs, “and I suspect I’ll probably have to like, go to the zoo or aquarium with him at some point, but that’s beside the point. It’s not like he’s your kid or something.”
“He is,” Buck whispers, so quietly he’s not sure whether he’s saying it to himself or Taylor.
“What?” Taylor asks, rubbing her eyes.
He turns, and for the first time since that day on a hospital bed when Eddie had turned his world upside down, he feels the smallest flicker of passion. He has spent the last few months sleepwalking through life, terrified of taking his eyes off Eddie, terrified to keep his eyes on Eddie.
“You said he’s not my son,” he clarifies, “but you’re wrong.”
~
or, Evan Buckley has spent a long time denying himself the right to even vocalise what he wants - who he wants. But he is done now.

Summary
She had left in the middle of the night, not turning to look at the cage where the wild beast slept for a second. She ran as far and as fast she could, and only when she reached the middle of nowhere somewhere around Ohio did she stop and think “where am I going? Where will I ever be safe?” And all at once, her heart had only uttered one name, the echo riveting through her body until she could do nothing but immediately run towards the sound.
Evan.

Summary
“Citizens of Los Angeles,” her voice comes again, just as Eddie picks up his cup and makes way to leave the room. “We have just been informed that a brave firefighter from station 118 has been injured in trying to stop the bomb…”
…and Eddie’s blood runs cold.
~
Eddie has just started on his new job when he finds out Buck got injured. He can't help but blame himself, thinking he broke the promise to have Buck's back.

Summary
Eddie spares a thought to what this might look like to anyone listening or watching in - to Abby, who is watching them both with a private but dim smile. They sound like lovers, like partners, like parents, like two people who go home and spend the night in each other’s arms. And, god, what Eddie wouldn’t do to make that his reality.
~
or, Eddie tries to tell Buck him getting hurt has consequences for the people he loves.

Summary
Matthew is still swaying as if drunk. His face looks confused, closed off, and for a second Adam feels he is on a dirt track on the side of the road, Opal at his heels swaying until she collapses against the car as Ronan is unmade.
Oh. Oh.
“Declan,” Adam says, feeling the panic rise in his throat, “what’s happening to Matthew?”

Summary
He blinks at the rectangle of fluorescent light, closing his eyes and willing every ounce of residual magic left in his body to do something, to make a text appear, anything to indicate that Ronan is okay. When he opens his eyes, he just sees this: alter idem, marked unread.

Summary
There is a boy in Ronan's dreams.
He looked familiar, though Ronan didn’t understand how. As he grew closer to this boy, he saw dark flashes of things he could never explain. Their booth in Nino’s. A second voice singing along to the Murder Squash Song. A tiny frame pressed next to Adam and Blue in the Pig. These were all memories, Ronan knew, and yet they couldn’t be because they were Ronan’s memories. He remembered them clear as day. He knows his memories had no room for a fifth person. In the pre-Henry days, it was just the four of them: Ronan, Adam, Gansey, Blue. The Dreamer, the Magician, the King and the Mirror.
So why does this boy feel so familiar?

Summary
Adam Parrish never does get what he wants, but he made his peace with that. People like us don’t get what we want, Robert Parrish’s fists had drummed into him, and Adam is nothing if not a quick study.
And yet. And yet.
Truth is, there is a lot that Adam wants, but nothing quite as much as Ronan Lynch.

Summary
"Did we win?" Steve asks. He knows they did; he can see the proof standing before him. Sam, Shuri, Bucky - they are all people who Steve has mourned for the past five years, the ones they risked time and space to bring back. Yet here they are now, standing before them, whole and alive.
"Yeah, Cap," Bruce says. "We won."
His smile is strained though, forced. Steve is scared to ask his next question -
"What did it cost?"

SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME
~
Tony Stark had died wrapping his world in a suit of armour to bathe in the protection he spent his love giving.
Tony Stark had died in pain and in agony, his entire right side burnt and charred. Peter still remembers it, remembers the smell of burnt flesh, remembers the taste of smoke and ash in his mouth. Remembers it, because he has seen it in his every damn night for five months.
Tony Stark died.
Which is leading Peter to believe that he has died, too, because he is pretty sure he is seeing Tony Stark in front of him right now.
~
or, in the aftermath of his encounter with Mysterio, Peter has a conversation with Tony.
