Summary
At the time, Cody hadn’t thought much of it. He had to get to the Jedi Temple as soon as possible for a briefing in the war room and couldn’t afford to be delayed. The Fastpass Fuel system asked for his contact information in order to process the payment, and the only viable option was to enter it because Marshal Commander Cody couldn’t be late.
—
Now, Fastpass won't leave him alone. Their mascot, Speederhood, calls Cody day in and day out, and nothing's working to stop the incoming transmissions. On the brink of losing his mind, Cody can only warn his brothers of this scamming company and hope it's not too late for them...

Summary
“You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.”
Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go.
There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted.
“Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.”
It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there.
He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking.
Buck never asks for anything.
Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.”
Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.

Summary
It’s such a small thing, and yet Buck feels almost like he’s intruding by catching the moment, seeing it in its quiet intimacy.
He glances away, down at his own hands, and thinks rather wistfully, heart clenching something fierce in his chest: I’m never going to get that.
And it’s not the first time Buck’s had that thought; probably not even the tenth, or the hundredth. His brain tends to work a mile a minute, which means he’s used to things flitting through, sometimes with impact, sometimes without.
Now, though, it catches.
Sticks sharp and tacky in his mind.
I’m never going to get that, I’m never going to get that, I’m never going to get that.
Or: Buck thinks he’s unlovable. (Or or: Buck goes through it.)

Summary
a 5+1 fic of five times Eddie goes to his spot outside of town to escape his life in El Paso, and the one time he brings someone there with him.
Eddie’s sixteen and pulling into the driveway of his family home, thinking about six years ago when Adriana was born and he tried to drive his dad’s truck. A couple months before, Ramon had pulled Eddie aside and told him it was time for him to ‘be the man of the house’. Eddie, at ten years old, didn’t think to call someone to come help or drive Helena to the hospital when her water broke because that’s not what the man of the house would do. Eddie, at ten years old, didn’t know how to drive the truck, so he ended up scraping the paint off one side and a punishment that was less about teaching and more about making sure he remembered.

Summary
He’d shoved the envelope into his pocket, fingers tightening around it like holding it too carefully might make it more real. Around him, everyone else slipped out quietly, one by one, each of them clearly ready or at least willing to face whatever Bobby had left behind for them.
But Eddie stayed seated, and he was the last to leave.
Not because he needed more time, but because he already knew he didn’t want to read it.
He couldn’t read it.
Or; After Bobby’s death, everyone at the 118 receives a letter he wrote before he passed. Eddie gets his and overwhelmed by guilt and grief, he doesn’t open it right away. Instead, he spirals, goes out, drinks too much, hooks up with a guy, and loses the letter.

Summary
The voice had always been around, Eddie remembers it, like a stream of consciousness that babbled incoherently to the point where Eddie just tuned it out.
But then the voice started speaking directly to him. Conversing like he was a whole person standing right in front of him. Like he could see what was happening around Eddie.
Eddie shook his head. No one was talking to him, and Eddie most certainly was not talking back.
He wouldn’t talk to the boy in his head ever again. There was no boy in his head.
