    Summary

    Buck didn't think he'd end up back at Eddie's after everything. All the things that drove him here haven't changed and neither have the things that made him leave again. Thirty four years old and able to drop everything in his life because he had no dependents, no responsibilities, no ties. Chris was gone and Eddie was following him and Buck was only at South Bedford because he was being left behind.

    Buck has reckoned with his feelings by now, this past year after Bobby, after everything that went on in the desert, the lengths Eddie went to, bringing things into sharper focus. He's in love with Eddie, has been in love with Eddie for so long it just became part of the fabric of the universe, the baseline from which Buck operates. He's made his peace with it too, aware that Eddie doesn't feel the same.

    He'd do anything for Eddie and Chris but he felt more like a guest than he ever had when they came back to LA, sleeping on their couch, waiting to be asked to leave. Better to go than be pushed, he figured, and yet the path always seems to lead back to here.

    So, South Bedford it is, only there are four of them now, not three because Buck is responsible for more than himself these days.

    Summary

    Daniel thought he may have just won the award for the worst possible time to lose his passport: immediately post-bomb-drop with the trial script, and alone in the penthouse with a very angry vampire.

    Louis had told Armand not to touch him before he left, but would that have any sort of meaning now? The whole Maitre thing was definitely over. There was nothing stopping Armand from coming in here to kill Daniel, because he couldn’t leave. Rest in peace, Daniel Molloy. Died because he provoked an ancient vampire and then couldn’t keep track of his stuff when it actually mattered.

    Couldn’t Armand just stay in the hole he’d made in the wall? It would be so much easier for Daniel if he just stayed in the hole in the wall.

    “Daniel,” Armand said, very much not in the hole in the wall.

    Summary

    "You left," Daniel says and it's his turn to gain emotion in his voice. He looks away briefly before looking at Armand again. "I don't want your stupid fucking letter bullshit, okay? You want to apologize, I want to hear it right now."

    "Daniel—"

    "Are you fucking sorry or not?"

    Summary

    It's gym period and M.J.'s bench-pressing The Second Sex while deep in speculative thought. So, the way Peter's shirt stretches over his biceps and shoulder blades is not a joke. On the other hand, his eyebrows are always in the middle of an identity crisis, and his lips are kinda thin. His smile, though--really, really nice. First class, one might say. A solid, toothpaste advertisement smile.

    Yeah, M.J's not doing great service to Simone de Beauvoir right now.

    Summary

    He leaves the news channel on long enough for her to comment, "Must be fun, swinging from buildings like that. Well, either fun or completely terrifying."

    "Yeah," Peter says. And then, because he's an idiot, adds, "He's cool."

    Michelle shifts, kicks her feet up onto the coffee table. "Hm. I'm more into The Winter Soldier type. Dark, mysterious, dangerous. That's cool"

    Peter is about to reply through a steadily deepening frown - The Winter Soldier??? Cooler than Spider-Man??? Really??? - but when Michelle had shifted on the couch, she had somehow ended up with her shoulder bumping his, their arms almost pressed together, and for some reason the warmth of her body so close is really distracting. So he doesn't say anything.

     

    (Peter is a dumb teenage boy who just wants Michelle to think he's cool).
