It starts as a pretty typical shift, which, honestly, should’ve been his first warning.

They’re responding to a fire at an upscale health and fertility clinic. The sprinkler system’s already taken care of any flames but that hadn’t stopped the people inside from trampling over each other in their hurry to evacuate; he doesn’t envy Chim, Hen, or Eddie at all, watching the three of them struggle to wrangle a crowd of hysterical pregnant people and their partners into some semblance of order.

Which leaves Buck to do a final sweep of the building for any stragglers.

He’s checking the storage area tucked in the back when he opens a door and is hit with a face full of some kind of… mist?

It's sticky and cloying—almost like a perfume, maybe, but with a bitter edge—and his eyes start tearing up immediately, sinuses stinging. He wipes his face with the sleeve of his uniform, and that seems to help some, but he’s definitely gonna need a shower and a change of clothes when they get back to the station.

“Buckley to Cap,” he calls over the radio. “We’re all clear inside.”

“Copy that,” Bobby responds. “Meet back outside, we’ll regroup.”

He’s outside chatting with Munroe from Squad 4 when things suddenly shift.

Buck staggers on the spot, hot and hazy with it, something sharp tingling behind his teeth. His vision is swirling, his mouth painfully dry.

He blinks once, then twice, then swallows hard.

“—okay? Your whole face has gone red, man.”

“I’m—“ Buck tries. When the fuck did it so hot? “It’s—“

“Do you need to sit down?” Munroe asks, reaching out to steady him. “I can help you over to the curb—“

Buck bats the hand away, bristling at the contact. “No, no, I’m good, I just got dizzy for a second—“

A growl cuts through the air behind him, fierce and furious. Monroe startles, his eyes wide, but it’s like Buck’s entire spine softens, tension seeping away as if it was never there.

He’s certain before he even turns. “Eddie.”

“What’s wrong?” Eddie demands, and his hands land on Buck’s shoulders, then shift up to cup his jaw, his eyes darting over every inch of his face. Buck relaxes into his hold, something about Eddie’s touch soothing a part of him that he didn’t know needed soothing. “Why do you— What happened?”

“What happened with what?” Buck mumbles, ducking down until he can rest his forehead against Eddie’s shoulder.

This quickly proves to be the best idea ever because Jesus Christ, since when did Eddie smell so fucking good? His scent washes over him—rich, decadent even, like the darkest of dark chocolate with just a hint of something spicy underneath—and it’s mouthwatering, it’s addicting, and Buck leans closer, desperate for more.

“You smell really good,” Buck informs him—just in case Eddie didn’t know, because he’s helpful like that. He rubs his cheek against Eddie’s neck, then nuzzles against his jaw, the rough edge of his stubble prickling deliciously against his skin. “Like, so fucking good.”

Eddie makes a noise that’s halfway between a laugh and a groan and his arms curl around his waist, strong and steady.

“I smell good?” he asks, incredulous. “I smell— Buck, I can smell you clear from the other side of the building.”

“No, you can’t,” Buck disagrees. “‘M on suppressants. My scent’s all…” He drags the tip of his nose along Eddie’s hairline, then presses his mouth to his temple, breathing him in. “Subtle. Muted. Though, there was a study back in 2017 that found that excessive suppressant use can sometimes lead to this weird condition that makes everything smell and taste like coconut, but to be honest, their sample size left a lot to be desired—“

“No, Buck,” Eddie interrupts, in a voice like sandpaper. “I can definitely smell you.”

“Oh.” Buck considers this for a moment. “What do I smell like?”

Eddie makes another one of those noises—low and throaty and a little pained—and his hands splay wide over his lower back.

“Chim!” he calls over his shoulder. “Chim, I need you over here!”

“Eddie,” Buck whines. “You didn’t answer me.” A horrible thought occurs to him, and his voice wobbles when he asks, “Do I smell bad?”

“Trágame, tierra,” Eddie mutters under his breath. Louder, he says, “No, querido, you don’t smell bad. You smell…”

Eddie pauses a second too long. Buck pulls back to look at him, a little afraid of what he’ll find, but Eddie’s eyes are dark and hooded, those brown eyes smoldering like embers. His nostril flare as he takes in another deep inhale, and his gaze turns heated, turns hungry.

Buck’s breath hitches in his throat.

“Good,” Eddie finishes hoarsely. “Really good.”

"So, you're saying it's still alive in there?"

"That's the theory, anyway. I believe the purpose of the patron firearm system is to provide reinforcement of the Law. But I feel that there is no point in seeking it out at this stage, at least not for me."

"Ezell..."

"There's only one way to be sure." Gesturing across the table, the Sankta gestures at the disassembled shotgun, kindly smiling towards the Doctor. "Now, which part of the firearm contains the fragment of God?"

_ _ _

The empty laboratory clicks open with barely a hiss, thanks to the clever use of a magnet at the top and bottom. It's stupid, you know? All of this technology for monitoring these top secret projects defeated with something a child has decent odds of keeping around as a curiosity. W chuckles to herself as she quickly shuts the door behind her, slipping in. A handheld light clicks on as she surveys the room. Her eyes widen.

*Well, well*, she thinks. *Guess I'll be adding this to my collection next.*

Reaching across the table, she starts to reassemble the firearm beginning with its smallest pieces. But as she moves to affix the firing pin, a curious thought strikes her as though from afar-

*YOU'LL DO.*

There's an explosion like the report of a firearm, and then nothing.

- - -

She comes to some time later, the mist of the fire suppression system making her vision hazy. Of course it's that damn Doctor in their stupid idiot mask. Must've been some kind of intruder countermeasure. She squints against the light, eyes trying to adjust. "Ugh... could you shut that damn thing off? It's getting in my eyes."

The Doctor gives a look of concern, brow furrowing detectable even through the darkness of their mask. "...no," they say, carefully and diplomatically.

"I get it, okay? I'm in the damn doghouse. Just shut that thing off or at LEAST turn it down."

The Doctor pulls out a compact mirror, flipping it open with one hand, and shows W her own reflection. She squints against the glare a moment before her eyes widen.

The lights are not on in this room. The only source of illumination is coming from just above W's brow, with more behind her splaying out. She flexes her shoulder back as she grabs the compact in wonderment and shock, and she sees the wing behind flex also, it's fragmentary components splaying out like fingers widening from a fist.

"Uh oh."

Red Birthright - Chapter 4

Miorine shuffled back. Even over the alarms and chaos and fire, her boots sounded loud, too loud. Her heart too, hammered in her ears. Her short hair was plastered to the back of her neck with sweat. The armor was smothering but it was holding back the worst of the noxious fumes as the station burned. And then Suletta looked up from where she knelt in front of the black figure of her mother. She looked into Miorine’s eyes and Miorine looked into hers and Miorine saw chaos and fire in there, too. She saw the subtle shift in Suletta’s balance. Then, she charged, igniting her saber as she rushed Miorine down. Miorine activated her shield projector as Suletta closed the distance, her blue shield met the red saber and amid the shower of sparks from their collision, Miorine was pushed back. She saw a brief flash of Suletta’s face lit in a harsh light. She saw grief transformed into rage. Pointing her pistol upward , Miorine fired at an exposed pipe overhead that was feeding into the fire suppression system. It burst over her and Suletta, spilling out a fine gray mist that glowed with the alarm lights. Suletta staggered back, Miorine leaned back and activated her jet pack, letting it hold her up as it pushed away, putting space between them. Suletta deactivated her lightsaber, but before Miorine could entertain ideas of the fight having ended she watched Suletta rear back, raising both her hands, fingers outstretched like claws. She swung them downward and the mist curled before her as if caught in a great vortex. A vortex bearing down on Miorine. As it stormed towards her, debris and bodies in its path were drawn into it and flung away. The deck trembled and broke beneath it. She dodged to the side, using her jets again, so narrowly that she felt something grasp at the edge of one boot like it could draw her into the maelstrom of destructive energy. It impacted against the bulkhead and the elevator door behind her with such power that the metal peeled away like the skin of a fruit. Sparks showered as the battered elevator car crumpled and then hurtled down the shaft. A possible escape, but before Miorine could use it Suletta was on her again. She raised one hand and the Force took Miorine, her arms and legs lashed tightly together. Then Suletta whipped her hand down and Miorine was flung to the deck with jarring strength.

Almighty Alchemy, The Power of Potion Magic

Introduced early in the series, the coven system of the Boiling Isles divides magic into nine broad categories or “tracks,” one of which a witch or demon must choose by law to specialize in while giving up the others. Each branch has its own unique facets and places where it overlaps with some of the others, but they are all fascinating. 

One of the very first to be hinted at is Potion magic.

Represented by the color yellow and a sigil of a flask filled with bubbling fluid, Potion magic involves - as the name suggests - brewing potions that have their own magical effects independent of spell circles. While this may seem underwhelming at first glance, a closer look shows its fortitude. 

Potion magic is first hinted at in “Witches Before Wizards” by Eda, when she explains her various small businesses, one of which is selling “elixirs and potions.” (Incidentally, this business is never mentioned again after the episode, with the loss of the portal and Eda’s human junk stand making it seem as if she’s out of work entirely.) The process of brewing potions is given its first glimpse in “The First Day,” when Luz and other students are given the assignment to create a fog brew, a potion that generates thick mist when smashed onto the ground like a smoke bomb. 

The first major potion to have plot relevance is Eda’s elixir, introduced in “The Intruder.” This golden brew acts to suppress her curse and is implied to be both expensive and very hard to come by. Eda - who is later revealed to have been in the Potions track while attending Hexside - seems unable to create the elixir herself, adding credence to its difficulty. 

Aside from the elixir, potions take something of a background role in the series. However, a very interesting facet is their sheer breadth of effect. In many ways, they are tied to almost all other forms of magic. Potions like Eda’s elixir are clearly medicinal, and Lilith brews a scrying potion early in season 2 that has clear ties to Oracle magic. After her magic is crippled, Eda begins using explosive potions like grenades, not only recalling her expertise in the art, but acting as a possible tie to Construction magic. Finally, the subplot of the episode “Reaching Out” is about Eda, King and Edric collecting ingredients for a “blabber serum” - or truth serum - that reveals that having well-rounded magic is crucial to collecting potion reagents, which are all apparently plants and animals of the Isles, hence needing a strong foundation in Plant and Beastkeeping magics. Lilith’s quest to find the reagents for her scrying potion only reinforce this point, as she bemoans her own crippled magic that makes the collection so much more difficult. 

It is also hinted by the coven leader Vitimir that exceptionally talented or learned witches can produce potions from their own bodies. During the brief battle during the Day of Unity, he lowers his ever-present mask and breathes what is implied to be a corrosive mist at Darius to attack. While this may be a power of his demon species, it seems more likely to be tied to his expertise. 

Finally, Potion magic - or at least the coven governing it - seems to have a tie to a certain elemental magic. Three of the major characters that have been in Hexside’s Potions track seem to favor fire as a weapon. Eda and Lilith show this several times, particularly in their first duel in “Covention,” and Boscha demonstrates this affinity with her trademark grudgby move of setting the ball on fire and throwing it at other players. This link actually makes a lot of sense when you consider that control over fire would be very handy for heating potion reagents for the brewing process. 

Though it seems boring on the surface, the series gives strong, continual hints that Potion magic is a force to be reckoned with in its own way. It just takes know-how and creativity. 

Thanks for reading! More to come …!

This article delves into the revolutionary changes shaping the fire protection landscape, ensuring that our homes, workplaces, and public spaces are safer than ever.

Enhanced Fire Detection Systems

One of the most significant advancements in fire protection is the development of enhanced fire detection systems. Traditional smoke detectors, while effective, often suffer from issues like false alarms and limited detection capabilities. The latest systems incorporate multi-sensor technology, combining smoke, heat, and gas detection to provide more accurate and reliable alerts.

These multi-sensor detectors can differentiate between actual fire conditions and non-threatening situations, such as cooking smoke or steam. By reducing false alarms, they minimize unnecessary disruptions and ensure that occupants respond only to genuine emergencies. Additionally, modern detectors are increasingly interconnected with smart home systems, allowing real-time alerts to be sent to smartphones and other devices, ensuring timely evacuation and response.

Smart Fire Suppression Systems

Fire suppression technology has also seen transformative changes. While effective, traditional sprinkler systems can sometimes cause significant water damage, especially in areas where fires are minor. New innovative suppression systems use targeted suppression techniques, such as water mist, foam, or clean agents, which are more effective in controlling fires while minimizing collateral damage.

Water mist systems, for example, release fine droplets that absorb heat more efficiently and reduce oxygen levels around the fire, effectively extinguishing it with minimal water use. Clean agent systems deploy gases that interrupt a fire's chemical reactions, providing rapid suppression without water damage, making them ideal for use in data centers and museums.

Advanced Fire-Resistant Materials

Another critical area of innovation is the development of advanced fire-resistant materials. These materials are designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire, providing critical time for evacuation and firefighting efforts. Modern fire-resistant materials are used in building construction, furniture, and even personal protective equipment (PPE).

For instance, intumescent coatings applied to structural steel expand when exposed to heat, forming an insulating barrier that protects the steel from high temperatures and maintains its structural integrity during a fire. Similarly, fire-resistant fabrics used in furniture and clothing help prevent the rapid spread of flames, providing an added layer of safety.

Integrated Fire Protection Systems

Integration is a buzzword in modern fire protection. The latest systems are designed to work cohesively, providing comprehensive protection through interconnected devices and centralized control. Building management systems now often include fire protection as a core component, integrating fire detection, suppression, and evacuation systems into a single, unified platform.

These integrated systems allow for coordinated responses to fire emergencies. For example, upon detecting a fire, the system can automatically activate suppression devices, shut down HVAC systems to prevent smoke spread, unlock emergency exits, and guide occupants to safety through illuminated signage and public address systems. This level of integration enhances overall safety and ensures a swift and effective response to emergencies.

Innovations in Firefighter Equipment

Technological advancements have also benefited firefighters' equipment. Modern PPE, such as helmets, gloves, and turnout gear, is made from high-tech materials that offer better protection and comfort. Advanced communication devices and thermal imaging cameras are now standard tools, allowing firefighters to navigate through smoke-filled environments and locate victims more efficiently.

Drones are another innovative tool being utilized in firefighting. Equipped with thermal imaging cameras, drones can provide aerial views of fire scenes, helping to identify hotspots and assess structural damage. This information is invaluable for strategizing firefighting efforts and ensuring the safety of personnel on the ground.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in fire protection. AI-powered systems can analyze data from various sensors to predict potential fire hazards and optimize fire prevention measures. For example, AI algorithms can monitor electrical systems for signs of overheating or detect hazardous gas leaks, providing early warnings before a fire even starts.

AI is also used in firefighting robots, which can navigate hazardous environments and extinguish fires autonomously. These robots are particularly useful in situations where human firefighters cannot enter, such as chemical fires or structurally compromised buildings.

Future Trends in Fire Protection

Looking ahead, the future of fire protection promises even more advanced technologies. Developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) will lead to further integration and automation of fire protection systems. Intelligent buildings will feature sensors embedded in every corner, constantly monitoring for fire hazards and responding instantly to any signs of danger.

Moreover, research into new materials and suppression techniques continues to push the boundaries of fire safety. For example, researchers are exploring the use of nanotechnology to create even more effective fire-resistant coatings and suppression agents.

The revolutionary advances in fire protection technology are transforming the way we safeguard our homes, workplaces, and public spaces. From enhanced detection and suppression systems to advanced materials and AI integration, these innovations are making our world safer and more resilient against the threat of fire. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect even more significant strides in fire protection, ensuring that safety remains a top priority in our increasingly complex and interconnected world.

this pounding in my heart just won’t die - ch. 1

Rated E. Also on ao3. Companion fic here

It starts as a pretty typical shift, which, honestly, should’ve been his first warning.

They’re responding to a fire at an upscale health and fertility clinic. The sprinkler system’s already taken care of any flames but that hadn’t stopped the people inside from trampling over each other in their hurry to evacuate; he doesn’t envy Chim, Hen, or Eddie at all, watching the three of them struggle to wrangle a crowd of hysterical pregnant people and their partners into some semblance of order.

Which leaves Buck to do a final sweep of the building for any stragglers. 

He’s checking the storage area tucked in the back when he opens a door and is hit with a face full of some kind of… mist?

It's sticky and cloying—almost like a perfume, maybe, but with a bitter edge—and his eyes start tearing up immediately, sinuses stinging. He wipes his face with the sleeve of his uniform, and that seems to help some, but he’s definitely gonna need a shower and a change of clothes when they get back to the station.

“Buckley to Cap,” he calls over the radio. “We’re all clear inside.”

“Copy that,” Bobby responds. “Meet back out front, we’ll regroup.”

He’s chatting with Munroe from Squad 4 when things suddenly shift.

Buck staggers on the spot, hot and hazy with it, something sharp tingling behind his teeth. His vision is swirling, his mouth painfully dry.

He blinks once, then twice, then swallows hard.

“—okay? Your whole face has gone red, man.”

“I’m—“ Buck tries. When the fuck did it so hot? “It’s—“

“Do you need to sit down?” Munroe asks, reaching out to steady him. “I can help you over to the curb—“

Buck bats the hand away, bristling at the contact. “No, no, I’m good—“

A growl cuts through the air behind him, fierce and furious. Munroe startles, his eyes wide, but it’s like Buck’s entire spine softens, tension seeping away as if it was never there.

He’s certain before he even turns. “Eddie.”

“What’s wrong?” Eddie demands, and his hands land on Buck’s shoulders, then shift up to cradle his jaw, his eyes darting over every inch of his face. “Why do you— What happened?”

“I’m fine,” Buck says, relaxing into his hold. There’s something about Eddie’s touch that soothes a part of him that he didn’t know needed soothing. “I got dizzy for, like, two seconds but—“

He stops to take a breath, and that’s when Eddie’s scent washes over him—and by washes over him, he really means that it nearly takes him out at the fucking knees.  

It’s warm and rich, decadent even, like the darkest of dark chocolate with just a hint of something spicy underneath. It’s mouthwatering, it’s addicting, and Buck leans closer, desperate for more.

“You smell really good,” Buck informs him—just in case Eddie didn’t know, because he’s helpful like that. He rubs his cheek against Eddie’s neck, then nuzzles against his jaw, the rough edge of his stubble prickling deliciously against his skin. “Like, really fucking good.”

Eddie makes a noise that’s halfway between a laugh and a groan and his arms curl around Buck’s waist, strong and secure. 

“I smell good?” he asks, incredulous. “I smell— Buck, I can smell you from clear across the lot.”

“No, you can’t,” Buck disagrees, looping his own arms over Eddie’s shoulders to hold himself up. His body feels like taffy: soft and pliable, sticky and sweet. “‘M on suppressants. My scent’s all…” 

He drags the tip of his nose along Eddie’s hairline, then presses his mouth to his temple, breathing him in. 

“Subtle. Muted. Though, there was a study a few years back that found that prolonged suppressant use can sometimes lead to this weird phenomenon where the user starts to spontaneously smell like coconut, but to be honest, their sample size and diversity left a lot to be desired—“

“No, Buck,” Eddie interrupts in a sandpaper-rough voice.  “I can definitely smell you”

“Oh.” Buck considers this for a moment. There’s a thought—an explanation—tickling right at the edge of his consciousness, but it slips through his fingers like dust on the wind. “Do I smell good?”

Eddie makes another one of those noises—low and throaty and a little pained. 

“Chim!” he calls over his shoulder, his arms tightening ever so slightly around Buck’s waist. “Chim, I need you over here!”

“Eddie,” Buck wheedles, curling closer. “You didn’t answer me.” A horrible thought occurs to him, and his voice wobbles just a bit when he asks, “I don’t smell bad, do I?”

“Trágame, tierra,” Eddie mutters under his breath. Louder, he says, “No, querido, you don’t smell bad. You smell like…”

Eddie pauses a second too long. Buck pulls back to look at him, a little afraid of what he’ll find.

But Eddie’s eyes are dark and hooded, those beautiful brown eyes smoldering like embers. His nostrils flare as he takes in another deep inhale, and his gaze turns heated, turns hungry.

Buck’s breath hitches in his throat.

“What’s going on?” Chim interrupts before Buck gets his answer, Hen just a few steps behind. “Who’s… Oh, shit.”

“Hey, Buckaroo,” Hen says, her ‘calming a patient’ voice. “How’re you feeling?”

“I’m fine,” Buck insists, a little annoyed. “It’s nothing—“

“He’s going into heat,” Eddie interjects, his voice tight.

“What?” Buck rears back, confused. “No, I’m not.”

Hen and Chimney exchange a loaded glance. 

“Yes, Buck,” Eddie says, and there’s a fresh tension around his eyes, in the clench of his jaw, that Buck doesn’t know what to make of. “You are.”

Buck scoffs. “I think I’d know if I were going into heat.”

“Yeah,” Eddie rumbles, still watching him with those dark, intense eyes. The corner of his mouth pulls up into something that could be a smile, except it’s just a little too sharp around the edges. “You’d think so, wouldn’t you?”

“But—“ Buck wets his lips, brow furrowed. It’s a struggle to focus on anything besides the sound of his own heart pounding in his ears. “But, I’m on suppressants.”

Eddie arches an eyebrow. Then he slides his hand up Buck’s spine, cups it around the nape of his neck, and squeezes gently.

Heat sears through him like a solar flare, overwhelming and inescapable. A wrecked little whimper forces its way past his teeth and he sags like a puppet whose strings have been cut, his legs refusing to support his weight.

Eddie’s the only thing keeping him upright, pulling him in until he’s flush against him, cradling him tight and keeping him anchored inside his body. Buck clings to him desperately—presses in as close as he can and then presses closer—flames licking at every inch of his skin. 

He wants to curl up against Eddie’s chest and settle there for the next infinity, wants to tuck his head under his chin and press his mouth to his throat and drown in the spiced-chocolate-warmth of him. Maybe Eddie would let him, maybe he’d understand if Buck can explain how badly he needs it, how much he wants it—

He wants—

“Oh,” Buck hears himself say. His voice feels distant, distorted—like it’s coming from the other end of a long tunnel. “I’m going into heat.”

“Whoa, hey, hey,” Eddie says firmly, shifting his grip around until they can meet each other’s eyes. “Stay with me, Buck. Slow, deep breaths.”

“I’m trying,” Buck gasps, his fingers tight in the fabric of Eddie’s uniform. “It’s so hot.”

“I know, cariño, I’ve got you,” Eddie assures him. “You’re doing great. Let’s find somewhere to sit down, okay?”

“O-okay.”

With Eddie’s help, Buck manages to stagger over to the firetruck and collapse against the gripped steps. Chimney gives him maybe half a second to recover, then he’s pressing two fingers to his neck and shining a flashlight in his eyes, his expression pinched with concern.

“Onset is too rapid to be anything natural,” he says, peering down at him. “He was fine at the top of shift—even a stress heat would take a few days to ramp up.”

“It’s a fertility clinic,” Hen points out grimly. “What are the odds they had inducers on-site?”

“Oh, is that what that was?” Buck mutters to himself, dazed.

There’s a moment of silence, then they both start talking at once.

“—aerosolized during the fire—“

“—inhaled them while clearing the building—“

“—no telling how much he was dosed with—“

“We need to get him somewhere safe,” Bobby says, arriving out of nowhere to take charge of the scene. “Get him home—“

But Hen shakes her head. “The inducers are burning through him too quickly,” she says. “He can’t just hunker down at home by himself, his heart could give out. We should take him to the hospital, they can sedate him and flush his system.”

“That shit’s gonna knock him on his ass,” Chim disagrees. “His hormones will be out of whack for months afterwards. It’d be better in the long run if he could work through things with a partner. An alpha, ideally,” Chim clarifies.

Alpha, Buck’s hindbrain whispers, and he’s reaching for Eddie again before he realizes what he’s doing. He pulls him in until he’s standing right between Buck’s knees, curling his fingers through Eddie’s belt loops and pressing his face to his stomach, keening softly.

Eddie lets out a low, rumbling noise, that cocoa-rich scent spiking sharply. Buck nuzzles closer with a sigh, his head swimming with need. 

Around them, the others are still talking, crowded in a makeshift half-circle around them. 

“—know, but I can call Maddie?” Chim’s offering. “She might have a better idea.”

Buck groans. “Oh my god, please do not call Maddie.”

“We won’t call her unless we have to,” Bobby assures him. “But we need to make a decision before this gets out of hand. Now, I know you don’t want to go to the ER, but unless you’ve got an alpha you trust to see you through this, we don’t have much of a choice—“

“Then it's a good thing he does,” Eddie calmly interrupts.

And everything stops. 

 “…What?” Buck croaks.

“I said, it’s a good thing you have an alpha to see you through this,” Eddie reiterates, not that it makes any more sense the second time.

Buck’s lungs seize in his chest, his stomach swooping uncertainly.

“…I do?” 

“Yeah, Buck. You do,” Eddie says, his voice soft and impossibly fond. His fingers sweep across Buck’s forehead, then begin to card gently through his hair. “You’ve always got me. But, only if you’re okay with letting me help you.”

The words fall out of his mouth before he can even think about stopping them. 

“Of course I am,” he blurts, because of course he fucking is. “But…”

“But…?” Eddie prompts patiently.

Buck flounders for a way to point out the obvious. 

“I just— I mean— You don’t have to,” he eventually manages to piece together. “Just because you’re my best friend and an alpha— “My alpha, his instincts purr. “—doesn’t mean you’re, like, obligated to volunteer or—“

“I’m gonna stop you right there,” Eddie says, holding a finger to Buck’s lips to quiet him. 

Buck’s mouth shuts with a soft click. 

“I’m not feeling obligated, Buck,” he continues, emphasizing the word like it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard, “I’m offering because I want to.”

“Yeah, but not because you’re actually interested,” Buck insists, though he’s growing more unsure by the second. “Or, well, no, I guess I probably smell good or whatever, so I know you’re like, biologically interested, but you don’t really want to. You’re just being nice… right?” 

Eddie goes very still. Then he reaches out and—calmly, deliberately—takes Buck’s chin between his thumb and forefinger, tipping his head up until their eyes catch and lock, pulled together like some kind of inevitability.

It’s so incredibly, unexpectedly sexy that Buck feels himself flush, feels his cock twitch and his thighs slick, pinned like a bird beneath Eddie’s gaze.

He doesn’t dare look away. He couldn’t if he tried.

“Listen to me very carefully,” Eddie says, in a quiet, husky voice that’s meant for Buck’s ears alone. “Nothing about you and I has ever been an obligation, Buck. And there’s nothing just nice about the things I want to do to you. Not now, and probably not ever, if we’re being honest. So, if I’m offering to help you through your heat, it’s because I want to. Because I want you. Do you understand me?”

Buck can only nod, utterly speechless.

Eddie studies his expression for a long moment, then continues: “Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’m gonna ask you again. Will you let me take care of you?”

“Please,” Buck breathes. “Eds, please.”

Eddie’s thumb grazes gently over his cheek, then slips lower to rest against the swell of his lower lip. “Will you let me take you home?”

He wants to ask one more time, wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake him, wants to whisper, Are you sure? Please tell me you’re sure, that you’re absolutely certain you won’t regret this.

That you won’t regret me.

But Buck’s only human. And he wants. so. badly.

“Yes,” he says.

Eddie soothes a hand down his spine, then tugs him close, brushing a kiss against the center of his forehead. Buck shivers and surrenders.

“Hey, guys?” Eddie says louder, and there’s a strength in his voice that feels like a promise. “I think we’re gonna need a ride.”

The Comprehensive Guide to Water Mist Systems

water mist systems represent a modern solution in the realm of fire suppression technologies. Unlike traditional sprinkler systems, which douse areas with significant amounts of water, water mist systems use fine, high-velocity droplets to extinguish fires. This not only minimizes water usage but also reduces damage to property and environmental impact. How Water Mist Systems Work Mechanism of Action Water mist systems suppress fires by dispersing ultra-fine water droplets that absorb heat and reduce oxygen levels around the fire. The droplets' size allows them to evaporate quickly, creating a cooling effect that helps to extinguish the flames more efficiently than traditional methods. System Types and Pressures The technology can be categorized into single-fluid and twin-fluid systems, with the former using only water and the latter combining water with another extinguishing agent like nitrogen. Depending on the application, these systems operate under low, intermediate, or high pressures, each suited to different types of fire hazards. Benefits of Water Mist Systems Environmental and Water Usage Water mist systems use up to 90% less water than traditional fire sprinklers, making them an eco-friendlier option that significantly reduces the potential for water damage and wastage. Safety and Versatility These systems are not only safer for people and property due to their minimal environmental impact and reduced water usage but are also versatile enough to be used in diverse environments, including sensitive areas like archives, art galleries, and data centers. Applications of Water Mist Systems Industrial and Commercial Use Water mist systems are ideal for protecting environments like data centers, where electronic equipment could be damaged by traditional sprinkling systems, or industrial settings where quick fire suppression is crucial. Residential and Specialized Settings In residential settings, these systems offer a safe and efficient fire protection solution that can be easily installed and maintained. They are also beneficial in places like museums or hospitals, where water damage from traditional systems could have disastrous consequences on valuable or critical items. Types of Water Mist Systems Detailed System Comparisons This section discusses the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of low, intermediate, and high-pressure systems, helping readers understand which might be best suited to their needs. Configurations and Customizations Explains the various configurations available—local application, total compartment application, and zoned application—each designed to meet specific protection needs of a facility.
