    Summary

    Naively, he thinks he might be safe. But right there, smack bang in the middle of the classroom display, is Christopher’s story. Proudly titled: When My Dads Got Married.

    Summary

    And it’s probably the wrong thing to say, but Christopher is just— he’s so angry, he’s so angry and he wants to lash out at someone.

    “I wish you and Dad had never even met!” With that, Christopher actually goes into his room, and Buck doesn’t stop him, or say anything.

    He lays down on his bed, burying his face in his pillow, and finally lets out the rest of the tears he’d been holding back.

    or, Christopher makes a wish and the universe grants it

    Summary

    Buck has always longed for the happily ever after- the love and joy of finally having the one person meant for you. A soulmate.

    He always imagined how it’d go: love confessions, a kiss, a moment they’d write movies about.

    So what does it mean that he gets his soulmark when he’s 1. single and 2. going through the worst time of his life?

    Summary

    Maybe he just needs to meet the right person. That’ll help with the giant best friend-shaped hole in his chest. He clicks the end of his pen and writes:

    I’ll meet the love of my life tomorrow.

     

    Or, Buck's journal grants wishes. It's not his fault that the only things he wants are the things he can't have.

    Summary

    “My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”

    Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.

    “She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.

    ----

    Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.
