    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    Percy Jackson was excited—genuinely excited—for the first time in what felt like years. A new city. A new name. A new face, even. The golden hair, the pale blue eyes, the tattoos that traced his skin like constellations—none of it screamed “Percy Jackson” anymore. He was Evan Buckley now, or just Buck, depending on who asked. He’d keep busy—physically exhausted, mentally occupied, emotionally detached. That was the key. No attachments. No friendships. No relationships. No vulnerability. He’d learned the hard way that getting close to people only ended in pain. Either they died, betrayed him, or saw the legend behind the name and stopped seeing him altogether.

    Unfortunately, he hadn’t planned on the 118.

    Summary

    And all of that was why, on their seventeenth day on Mars, Buck had shoved Eddie out of the way during the emergency evacuation, knowing it meant his own death instead of Eddie’s. Buck trusted Eddie to help get everyone else home, and Eddie had someone to go home for. Someone who needed him and loved him. Someone who Buck loved, even without ever meeting. He wasn’t going to let Chris grow up without a father. So in the split second he had to think after seeing the communications dish flying at them through the storm that was chasing them off the planet fourteen days early, he’d pushed Eddie out of the way, hoping like hell it would be enough and knowing he wouldn’t live long enough to find out.

    --

    Or, when their mission to Mars goes wrong, Buck gets stranded and the rest of the crew does everything they can to save him. | Fic is complete at ~120k words and posting 2-3x a week as I edit.

    Summary

    "What if I never get better? What if I always feel like this?"

    Buck finally looks back up at him, vulnerability and compassion clear on his too-expressive face.

    "I don't know," he says honestly. "I don't…" he shudders, gives a tiny shrug of his shoulders and tries again. "I don't have an answer for that, man. It's been seven months for me and I still feel…like this."

    "Like what?"

    Buck just shrugs again, then mumbles, "Not myself."

    And Eddie doesn't know what to say to that either, because this is the only version of Buck he's ever known.

    Or: Buck and Eddie meet at grief group.

    Summary

    "But here's the problem—it's not like I know that many people who I think would be okay with donating sperm," he says. "How do you even start the conversation. Hi! I'm Buck Buckley, can I have your baby?"

    Eddie snorts. "Yeah," he says. "That's pretty much it isn't it?" He asks, laughing. "Most awkward conversation ever." He sighs. "But it makes sense why you'd go to someone you know, plus then, you kinda know what to expect."

    Buck laughs as well, leaning back forward and looking up at Eddie. "Why, you volunteering?" He teases, keeping his eyes fixated on Eddie.

    Eddie looks back at him, and Buck's sure he's going to call his bluff when he says. "Yeah. Maybe I am," he says.

    or

    Buck decides it's time for him to take a huge step in his life.

    Eddie helps (kind of).
