Summary
Chris wants his dad. He wants his bed. But he can't have those yet, and he and Dad never really text because if Dad’s not working they’re usually together or one of them is too busy to text, so texting Dad feels weird, but Buck… He can text Buck.
do you think it was a good thing for Pandora to keep hope in the box?
The little dots pop up immediately, which Chris wasn’t expecting.
I’m not sure. I do know that it technically wasn’t a box, it was a pithos, which is like a big jar they used for storage. Box is a mistranslation, but it became so widely used that we all just roll with it now.
It’s a very classic Buck response. The dots keep going.
On that note, “hope” isn’t an exact translation either. Another way that people translate it is “deceptive expectation.” Hope isn’t necessarily deceptive, and we tend to use it in a positive way, so it’s maybe not the BEST word to use, but I guess in English we don’t have a better one for “deceptive expectation” and “hope” sounds pithier.
Deceptive expectation. Huh.

Summary
“Can we talk later? Eddie’s son is missing.”
“Well, about that…” Margaret is looking at Chris, like he somehow knows how to break the news. Chris shakes his head. He didn’t want to call any of them in the first place; she can figure it out.
“About – about what?”
“Is someone missing if you know where they are?”
“Do- do you know where Chris is?” Buck’s voice is raised in bewilderment and hope. There’s a clear ‘what!’ in the background, followed by shushing noises.
“I can probably do you one better?”
“Are you – are you telling me that Chris is in Pennsylvania?” Buck is speaking very slowly and very clearly, so different from his usual fast paced ramble. “In Hershey? How did he get there?”
--
Chris fixates about what Buck shared during their conversation before he left for El Paso. Seeing similarities between his situation and Buck’s, he runs off to Hershey to learn more about Buck’s past, and hopefully get some answers for his future.- Language:

Summary
Buck’s hair is gray at the temples, buzzed neatly on the sides and a bit longer and curlier on top than Chris remembers him wearing it, and there’s a new scar through one of his eyebrows. He looks good, like he’s living a happy life, and the only possible reason Chris can imagine for Buck to be here at Helena Diaz’s funeral in El Paso is that Chris’s father brought him.
“Why would you come?” Chris snaps at him.
Buck blinks. “Why wouldn’t I come?”
“She didn’t mean anything to you.”
“I’m not here for her,” Buck scoffs. “She is dead. I’m here for him.”
or
Chris is forced to grapple with the choice he made eleven years ago when his father comes back for Helena’s funeral.

Summary
Christopher isn’t nosy—he’s observant. From after-school pickup through homework, dinner, and a quiet movie night, he collects the small proofs that his dad and Buck take care of each other (and him) in all the best ways. A soft, domestic one-shot in Chris’s voice about safety, family, and the moment when what already feels true finally settles into place.

Summary
His grandma and abuelo went to bed about an hour ago. Chris should be sleeping too, he’s got school in the morning. Instead he sits under the covers with his phone flashlight casting harsh shadows across his makeshift cave. The air is stuffy, it makes him sweat a bit. There’s a bag of letters open in front of him.
Chris frowns before pulling one out at random. He runs his fingers across the manila of the envelope, it smells old. The top is already ripped open and when he thumbs at it he finds a folded piece of paper tucked neatly inside.
He takes a sharp breath in, his heart is pounding now. He takes a peek out from the covers like he’s worried someone is watching him. Of course, nobody is there.
He pulls out the paper, unfolds it in his hands. Takes another deep breath before he reads:
December 7th, 2009

Summary
It's cold, where they buried them. It's something Hen's always silently complained about. Whether it's night or day, summer or fall; when Hen visits Green Hill Cemetery, she pulls a jacket tightly around herself, and she still always feels—cold.
On the hottest day of the summer, Hen stands at the space between Eddie and Buck's graves, and she is freezing. The jacket does nothing to help, but if she's being honest with herself, she didn't expect it to.
It didn't help when it was only Buck's grave that she was visiting, and it doesn't help now that she has to buy two bouquets and clean two headstones and grieve two brothers.
(Or, eventually, everyone has to move on.)

Summary
Mrs. Young smiled. “As teachers, we don't get to sit down and talk one on one with each child as much as they deserve. This assignment always grants me a beautiful insight to my students. Their proudest accomplishments, their darkest moments, or even some facts I've never known.”
She lifted a hand to her heart. “So with that, I would like all of you hear from one of the most beautiful essays I've had the pleasure of reading, from one of the-” she sighed. “-funniest kids I've met. Please welcome Christopher Diaz.”
...Christopher smiled into the microphone. "My name is Christopher Diaz. Here's my essay."
"Dear abandoning dead Mom."
The silence from the audience was deafening.
"Oh god." Eddie whispered beside him.
**OR**
Chris gets an award for Student Performance night!

Summary
By the time he gets out of the gate, a hiking backpack high on his shoulders and his headphones hanging around his neck, and walks past the sliding doors, he's fully expecting his dad and Buck to be there, holding up an embarrassing cardboard sign with his name on it. He knows for sure that Buck would try to do something this corny and his dad would relent, because it's Buck, and then they'd hug the hell out of him and finally take him home.
Except nobody's there.

Summary
Eddie was sitting down at Chimney's dining room table with Bobby, Athena, Chimney, Hen, and Maddie. "He'll come back; he just needs time away. I really don't think you should chase after my brother." Maddie said softly. Eddie scoffed, "Why not? Chim chased you down."
"He needs time to think and to figure out his life. I was having a mental emergency that put me in a mental hospital," Maddie said, looking at him.
Eddie rolled his eyes. "Except for the fact that this day had been coming for a long time." He sighed.
Everyone looked at Eddie, expecting him to continue. "On top of the childhood trauma he got and the typical stress of a firefighter, he's been through... being sexually assaulted by his therapist in her office, ghosted by his first love, getting his leg crushed, a pulmonary embolism, a tsunami. He's a savior baby." Eddie took a second and locked eyes with everyone. "Let's see what else... he was struck by lightning, and he died!" Eddie got louder. "Buck was bound to fucking snap at some point," He said.
-OR-
The one Buck runs away, and Eddie goes after him.

Summary
“Dad,” Chris called, and when there was no response he pushed it open. “Dad, you have to drive me to—”
His dad was there, still asleep, laying with most of his face smushed in his pillow and looking dead to the world. Also there, half-sitting up and tugging the covers up to his neck, was Buck.
“—school,” Chris finished, looking at Buck. Buck looked back, his eyes wide and frantic. For a couple of seconds they both just looked at each other.
“Hi, Buck,” he said. “Um.”
“Heeey, Chris,” Buck said. His voice cracked a little on the hey, which would probably have been funny under any other circumstance.

Summary
The fire is still growing. The beams are groaning. Time is running out.
Eddie’s heart clenches.
“They’re not coming, Buck. You need to go.”
Not because he wants to let go. But because he can’t bear the thought of Buck dying here too.
He’s already risking everything by staying.
And Eddie—Eddie doesn’t want the last thing he sees to be Buck falling beside him.
“NO.” Buck snaps. “I told you. We’re surviving this together.”
He starts yelling, voice ripping through the air.
“HELP!” He coughs. “Bobby! Hen! HELP!!”
The desperation in Buck’s voice slices through Eddie’s chest more than the crushing weight above him ever could. He wants to stop him, to tell him not to waste his breath, but he can’t. Because some part of him—some foolish, aching part—still hopes too.-or-
One call changes everything. After nearly losing each other, Buck and Eddie are forced to face the feelings they’ve spent years burying. But grief, guilt, and fear don’t make falling in love any easier. It’s messy. It’s slow. And it might already be too late.
