    Summary

    Chris showed up knowing he was meant to be in class. Knowing that’s where everyone assumed he was. But he needed to talk to a counselor and his grandparents weren’t doing anything to get him in anywhere. They just said to talk to them. Yeah, hard pass. He already had to deal with hearing them talk shit about his dad and dead mom, he was not talking to them only for them to say he needed to forget it all and just enjoy where he was. Or pray. Because they believed prayer and religion fixed everything. So he’d gone online and scheduled his own appointment, it was actually pretty easy, and was now in the waiting room. He’d had to watch Buck make appointments enough times that he knew how to do it. Plus Denny, Harry, AND May all said to go for it.

    Or.

    Chris is tired of his grandparents trying to gaslight him into staying with them. He's also tired of his dad sticking to his word to let Chris decide what happens next. He wants his dad to be his dad. So he goes to therapy, loudly and repeatedly threatens to run away, calls Buck, and somehow manages to get through it all with his family more complete than it ever had been before.

    Summary

    “He’s not,” Christopher interrupted after he swallowed, his eyebrows furrowed, “that’s not- no. Bucks not my uncle.”

    His abuela waved a dismissive hand, “Oh, of course not, I know that. Isn’t that a thing you young ones do? Refer to your parents' close friends as aunts or uncles?”

    And here’s the thing, yes. He refers to Hen and Karen as his aunties. He’s never blinked at that. He routinely tells people that he and Denny are basically cousins.

    Sure, he even calls Maddie and Chim his aunt and uncle without a second thought, but that’s because - well, that’s because..

    “He’s not my uncle,” Christopher repeated, “He’s my other dad.”

    ••

    OR Five times Christopher Diaz sets the record straight on who Buck is to him and the one time he makes sure Buck knows it too.

    (and a buddie confession just for funsies)

    Summary

    Look, it’s just- of course, rationally he knew, right? He knew that his grandparents were his dad’s parents, that’s literally how it works.

    He just never really- realized what that meant.

    But there are tears in his father’s eyes. And Chris remembers something he saw on TikTok a while ago: It’s his dad’s first time living too.

    And maybe…maybe he really has been a little hard on him. Shutting him out like that.

    “What, Eddie, of course we want you to be hap-” Abuela tries, but Chris’s dad doesn’t let her.

    “No,” he interrupts. “No, that’s not true. If you wanted me to be happy, you would’ve helped me. You would’ve let Christopher stay with you for…a month, maybe, to cool down, to get some distance, to get the space he needs. But then you…you would’ve tried, at least. To get us talking. To fix this. To mend what I broke.”

    He sounds devastated. So incredibly devastated. And Chris can’t help but think that…his dad kinda has a point there.

    Or: Eddie goes to Texas, Chris overhears something he shouldn’t have, Helena Diaz starts feeling as guilty as she fucking should, and somehow, somewhere in between it all turns out okay.

    Summary

    “You said Rozanov is a great captain,” one of the reporters says, deviating from the usual script. “What makes him one? Do you think he’s better than you?”

    If Ilya was here, Shane would immediately answer with a negative. He would also let Ilya be the one to brag about his many, many accomplishments, and maybe banter with him about who’s got more.

    But Ilya’s not here.

    And Shane is bored.

    Or.
    Shane spends a post game interview explaining that his husband is the best captain in the league and accidentally starts a hashtag.
