too much sky, too many miles

words: 827 // angst

for @winterofbuddie week 1: celestial creativity

Summary:

Astronaut Eddie is spending his last night before lift-off with his boyfriend Evan "Buck" Buckley, RN. Space has something of Eddie Diaz' which leaves him no choice but to go in search of it. Buck attempts to cope with that.

(in which space is kind of, sort of, not really, a messy metaphor for El Paso)

T-minus 10 hours

“Buck, look at me.” Eddie gently tilts his boyfriend's face, searching for Buck’s gaze. “It's going to be ok.”

Buck is pouting. He knows he’s pouting. Whatever, he’s earned it. His boyfriend of two weeks, best friend of 8 years is headed up into the dark, bottomless pit.

“Don’t call it that” Eddie would say. But even Eddie has mentioned it. Talked about how he would never go back there. Not after what happened last time. Eddie barely made it back down to Earth, barely escaped. The last mission up there was dangerous. The last mission up there was sobering. Eddie had never been that close to the point of no return, and it scared him. He’s used to the dark, the quiet, the unique, oppressive quality the vast expanse of space offers. But that was the first time it felt suffocating.

Space could be a black and sticky thing. Something that tightens its grip the harder you struggle.

But part of Eddie's heart is up there. Always has been. Says he felt the pull since he was a kid. Something of his is up there, and if he ever found a way to bring a piece of it with him, back to earth, it might quench this wanderlust.

So he’s going back. He has to. He doesn’t have a choice.

“I know.” Buck relents, when Eddie says as much.

They’re squished together in Buck's cramped double bed. NASA budget doesn’t leave much room for on-call bunk room luxury, but Buck is thankful for the private space.

T-minus 9 hours

“Is it me? Is it because I’m working too much? Because I can take off. Marcia owes me a favor. I could take a two week vacation. We could get out of here. Go skiing.”

“You hate skiing” Eddie chuckles.

“You know what I mean. We could even stay here in the city. Lay in bed all day..” he’s rambling. Filtering through a rolodex of options until maybe he lands on the trigger word to get Eddie to stay.

“Buck, sweetheart. Stop.” Eddies hand achingly light as he brushes Buck's lips. “It’s not you.”

“It’s not you it’s me.”

“You make it sound like we’re breaking up” Eddie smiles something soft and comforting. “You’ve been through this with me, Buck. Many times.”

“Not like this though. Not when we- not when we’ve just started to-. I thought- I guess I just thought- that i would be enough.” he mumbles that last part. Only half committing to saying it. He knows it's not fair. He knows he can’t ask Eddie to choose. Doesn’t want to ask him. Partly because, he knows, if he really did ask, in all sincerity..Eddie would stay. He’d stay for him. But that would lead to resentment, that would lead to an Eddie that feigns contentment. And Buck doesn’t want that. Never wants to be what tears Eddie from what he loves.

So he doesn’t ask.

But he allows himself to pout

“Buck,” Eddie sounds guilty. And Buck kicks himself. As if Eddie really has anything to feel guilty over. Buck doesn't want to be another thing in Eddie's life that makes him feel like he’s missing something, missing the mark, not doing something right.

He huffs and scoots closer, burying his face in Eddie's neck. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I- I know it’s not me. I know you’re not leaving, Me. you’re just-”

“Going up there.” Eddie finishes.

And it seems like semantics. But there is a difference.

Eddie's face is pressed into Buck’s curls. He inhales deep, smells his own shampoo on him. Good, Eddie thinks. They won't be on the same planet, but anyone that gets near Buck, is gonna smell Eddie.

“You have no idea how much I'm gonna miss you.” Eddie voice is hoarse with emotion, he closes his eyes.

“I think i might have an idea.” They’re forehead to forehead now, sharing breath, sharing space. Bucks voice is earnest, pleading, “Just..Dont make a home up there Eddie. Find- find what you need. Whatever you’re searching for, find it. But bring it back here. Bring it back home. That’s not your home up there.”

“Buck,” he makes sure to meet Buck’s eyes. “The only home I have is where you are. No matter what I discover out there, it’s not complete until I'm back with you.”

Buck leans in to kiss him, desperate to ground himself in Eddie’s steady touch. Even though Eddie is the one leaving, Buck feels like it’s him who’s floating, untethered in the black abyss. It’s T-minus 8 hours now. Buck isn’t sure he believes Eddie fully. Still scared to death of the chance that Eddie decides, after gaining distance, that he doesn’t need Buck. That Buck isn’t home to him, the way he is for Buck. But for right now this is enough. Buck trusts Eddie more than he’s ever trusted anyone. Eddie isn’t leaving him. He isn’t going away forever. He loves you Buck chants to himself. HelovesyouHelovesyouHelovesyou.

Buck hopes it’s enough.

This is a post wherein I talk at great length about Anthony Rodzic, Felix's older brother! Requested by @accidental-spice 💚

This is gonna get long so....

Open-minded skeptic:

Anthony doesn't believe in magic. Not in the sense where he ignores the impossible things happening around him but rather staunchly believes there's a scientific explanation for anything "supernatural". If it looks like reality is breaking the laws of nature, that means there is more to the laws we don't know about, not that ✨magic✨ is changing things.

He's looking at the world and going "that person just grew a plant with their mind and shot laser beams out of their eyes. That is impossible, but it definitely happened. It's not because of magic, as my younger brother is insisting, but some secret law of nature that's overriding the usual order of reality and creating an anomaly." (aka, magic) So he's not entirely wrong... just, the laws they're missing are the ones everyone else are calling "magic".

Basically, he's a dude with absolutely no magical affinity trying to define the in-world magic system using the scientific method.

He continues to hold this stance even after time traveling/teleporting, meeting faeries, an alien who can hear people's thoughts, and an Ancient with enough magical energy to create a planet who says LOL YOU'RE SO CUTE

"No, no," he says to the eldritch being made of magic, "There's no such thing as magic, everything can be explained by science." -proceeds to have a several hours long q&a session with Ketsler about magic theory-

This guy literally takes a stroll through the faerie realm and starts making mental notes about how truly bizarre and otherworldly the ecosystem is while marveling that the atmosphere can sustain him at all. Meanwhile his guide just

Dude it's magic???

This ties in with his current project- finding the cause and cure of the newly discovered disease that is gaining more and more prevalence and claiming many lives. It behaves like a type of cancer, but none of the cancer treatments have any effect on it. Working alongside some other more experienced scientists/doctors, they've identified the source of the disease has a connection with what seems to the be source of the super Talents.

Anthony gets involved in the whole Dauntless shenanigans after Felix gets sick with a really serious case of the previously mentioned disease that he somehow recovers from, and then immediately runs away from home. Anthony takes time off from work (his boss is a really chill guy, also a character 😏) and goes after his idiot little bro. Anthony is the only character in the story that sets out to find Dauntless and actually succeeds without Felix's consent 😂😂 He ends up joining the gang of orphans as the voice of reason and only person who can legally drive xD

He's also Felix's older brother!

He's about seven years older then Felix, so he definitely sees him as his baby brother lol They don't have a super close "best friends" kind of relationship, but they do both care for the other a good deal. Despite them actually being so similar, Anthony just doesn't understand the insane situations Felix keeps getting himself into. He runs away from home to be a vigilante??? Invites literal aliens to live in his house??? Apparently now he's involved in some interdimensional war against some eldritch being that can't die??? Not Anthony, he lives a quiet life. 😌

Y’all know we’re probably getting an actual chapter 6/7 right? 👀

Originally we only had 5 chapter buttons and a bar on the bottom that seemingly didn’t do anything (on Firefox) but was probably meant to take you back to the prologue scene.

There was always room for another new chapter selection, but now they may have to resize something or repurpose the seemingly non-working button that used to be at the bottom.

Also we still have this yet unseen Davepetasprite^2 talk sprite from the first few chapters.

[moe-broey]

I don't think this is Moe's first offense (saying something brazen/flippant) but I do think it's the first time it's called the King a bitch. And it won't be the last! The funniest part of Anna being the one to take charge and chew Moe out is that it gives Moe the opportunity to do The Exact Same Thing to Alfonse one-on-one (you know... to test the waters... to see how he feels about it....). Which it is. Also promptly chastised for.

FAVE PANELS...
