*cracks knuckles* Okay, let’s get back in this saddle, yeah?

---

When everyone had dispersed to their rooms in the compound – either returning to old rooms or finding new ones – Sam quietly snuck his way to Tony’s. The door was unlocked, and he gave the usual two quick knocks and waited a few seconds before stepping inside.

Tony was undoing his cuffs, sparing Sam only a brief glance before focusing his gaze back downwards.

Sam walked up to him, hesitating only a moment before gently brushing Tony’s hands aside and taking over the shirt buttons. Tony let him, letting out a deep and slow breath, head tilting back and eyes closing.

“This okay?” Sam asked, voice hushed, as he reached the last button.

“Yeah.”

He pushed the shirt off of Tony’s shoulders, tossing it over towards the hamper, and went to work on the belt. Tony took back over dressing after that, and Sam stripped off his own shirt and jeans. They crawled into bed together, Sam clutching Tony close. He’d missed this. Since everything fell apart, he’d missed this. The physical intimacy.

They’d been exchanging letters since a few months after Steve broke Sam out of The Raft. There’d been accusations and apologies and confessions, fear and guilt and love expressed through words.

Somehow, somehow… they’d managed to work things out between them, to save the relationship they’d had.

Hands shaking, Sam curled himself more into Tony’s chest and closed his eyes tight.

There was one thing they’d never talked about.

Sam had never asked. Tony never offered.

That probably said a lot.

“I know… I know that something went down, in Siberia. Steve won’t talk about it; Barnes was down an arm.” He waited, but Tony said nothing, fingers still stroking through Sam’s short hair in an easy, slow rhythm. “What happened, Tony?”

After what felt like several intense moments of silence, Tony said, “If I tell you, you have to promise me not to make a big deal out of it.”

Sam tensed.

“I’m… mostly over it. Enough so that I can work with them both. I don’t – if things get made a big deal out of, it’ll just make it all fresh again, make it harder for everyone to work together.” He paused. “I don’t know if I’ll ever really be able to forgive Steve, Sam. But I can enough to work with him. To be friendly. But not if we’re reliving that mess again.”

Sighing, Sam said, “Fine. I’ll not make a big deal out of it.”

“Or bother Steve?”

“Or bother Steve. Or Barnes. Not about Siberia, at least.”

“Fair enough,” Tony said, and blew out a bracing breath.

Slowly, Tony recited events from then. Pieces fell into place that Sam had been missing, Steve’s anger and odd guilt, Barnes’ quiet resignation. Sam breathed through the anger – with all three of them, honestly; with Zemo especially – and just listened.

When Tony trailed off, Sam knew he was leaving something out. He pressed a kiss to Tony’s chest, and Tony’s fingers twitched against his back.

“None of us were willing to stop,” Tony said, voice only trembling a little. “Steve… brought the shield….”

Sam realized he wasn’t breathing, that the only sound was Tony’s slightly rough and slightly too fast breathing.

“I got lucky. The suit was totaled, but the metal didn’t tear too badly through the undersuit’s material, and – I mean there was some serious muscle bruising and a few fractures but…. It could have been much worse. My arm was the worst damage, and that was from the airport.”

Eyes closed, Sam struggled to find some calm in the fear and anger burning through him. He grappled for it, because Tony didn’t need his anger, he needed Sam’s calm, Sam’s acceptance.

“I love you,” was all Sam could find it in himself to offer.

Tony squeezed him closer. “I love you, too.”

~*~*~

Sam didn’t “make a big deal out of it”, like Tony had asked of him. He barely even glared at Steve the next morning, in fact.

He spent more time around Tony. That could easily be explained as missing his boyfriend, of course, so no one questioned it. He knew if he tried to hang around Steve just yet, with his anger and frustration and fear still simmering so close in his chest, he’d break his promise to Tony.

Keeping a promise to Tony was more important to him than giving Steve a talking too, like he deserved.

His boyfriend could defend himself if he wanted to. Sam needed to step back.

For now, at least.

Until this whole new mess was taken care of.

Until he was calmer.

Then, maybe, he and Steve would have a talk about “extreme options” and “triggering past trauma” and Sam would make it clear that if Steve wasn’t one of his best friends, and Tony hadn’t made it clear that he was mostly over it (and guilty of being just as vicious in the fight), Sam would not just be talking to Steve.

Then he’d maybe have to figure out a way to hit Steve good for lying to Tony for years, whether or not he’d had good intentions.

💘💫 🪄

💘Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

Answered here!

💫 what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

'I really loved this line {xxx] because it made me feel {yyy}'

Shouting a character's name in the comments like they'll be able to hear you.

I have several commenters who (when they have time) write me stream of consciousness reviews which is SO FUN because remember, I'm not there with you when you're reading but I get all the fun of watching your face do things and feel things as you read. It's like live theatre - did that line hit the way I wanted it to? Did the audience gasp? Did someone shout "Oh my god HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" when all the things fall into place?

🪄what is your post-writing/sharing aftercare? How do you take care of yourself or celebrate yourself when you’ve finished a fic?

Weekly Recap | April 15th-21st 2024

Warning you now that there won't be a recap next week because I'm gonna be on a birthday trip! (hello don't mind me I'm turning 30 this week 🙈). ((now that I think about it I could always post the recap on saturday. oh well. we'll see 😆))

Enjoy!

Complete

i'll fit you inside my future by withmeornotatall/ @chronicowboy (S7E5, BuckTommy | <1K | General): "Why'd you choose that abomination of a coffee for me?" And Buck groans just to hear Tommy laugh. "Really? What even was that?" "Black coffee four sugars," Buck mumbles, kicking a stone across the sidewalk sheepishly. "Jesus, Evan." Tommy's laugh is something special, loud and unrestrained and the sound of sunshine maybe. "Why?"

wild again, beguiled again by Maira/ @mairaiscarrierofthepaperclips (Post-S7E4, BuckTommy | 1K | General): The kiss had taken him out at the knees, a rush of lips and heat and just the barest hint of teeth, the graze of stubble not his own thrilling him in a way like nothing had before. Which was ridiculous, because the kiss hadn’t even been that long. He’d had longer kisses, hotter kisses. Kisses where Buck had very nearly forgotten his own name by the time they’d ended. And yet, this one kiss still had him smiling like a fool. ... or, the one after the kiss.

I gotta get that feeling by elless (Post-S7E5 | 1K | General): Buck watches his mouth as he speaks and the way his adam’s apple bobs when he swallows, and reminds himself to pay attention, because all of this is important. He wants to know everything. OR: what happens at the cafe after Buck's an eager beaver and asks Tommy to be his date at the madney wedding.

The New Normal by Tizniz/ @tizniz (Buck/Tommy/Eddie | 1,7K | General): While he had had a few drinks at the bar, Eddie hadn’t even been tipsy when Buck had blurted out those words: I think I’ve been dating both of you. That statement had settled in the middle of Eddie’s chest and burrowed into its new home, feeling so incredibly right in a way he’d never experienced before. (Part 3 of Buck's Boyfriends)

a good ally by thewolvesof1998/ @thewolvesof1998 (BuckTommy, PWP | 2K | Explicit): Tommy figures out Buck's humiliation kink by accident during sex and they explore it a bit.

everything’s growing in our garden by fleetinghearts/ @shitouttabuck (Post-S7E5, Pre-Buddie | 2K | Teen): eddie’s growing a garden. buck might be the most firmly planted thing in it.

every part of you (simple as that) by withmeornotatall/ @chronicowboy (BuckTommy, Madney Wedding | 2,8K | General): OR: buck comes out to chris, talks to tommy about the future, has realisations about the past and finds a little peace at the wedding

Lactose Intolerance by Rianne/ @rianneeyre (Drunken Confessions | 4K | Teen): After last night's tequila shots at the karaoke bar, Buck had just gone home and rolled into his too-big, too-comfortable, too-empty bed in his too-quiet loft, and he’d— Texted Eddie. He thinks. The memory is kind of vague.

Tell Me Anything by AnnaNSmith/ @annansmith (Near Death Experience, Love Confession | 5K | Teen): Or, how Buck shattered Eddie's entire world one night by confessing his love to him.

we don't know where this is going now (don't be afraid of heights, let me open your heart wide) by wikiangela/ @wikiangela (Post-S7E5, Tommy POV | 5K | General): Tommy cuts their first date short, but to his surprise he gets a call from Evan just a few days later.

Despite it all, I'm Happy by InsaneJuliann/ @marvelingjules (Established Buddie, Post-S4, Secret Relationship | 6K | Teen): Something's up with Buck, but he's not telling. No one else even seems to notice all the faked smiles and laughter, not like Eddie does. But he's afraid of pushing too hard. He's happier, lately. Chris, his family, the team - and especially Buck - make him happier than he's been in a long time. Eddie doesn't want to put that all at risk. Not now, while it still feels so new. (Part 12 of The Evolution of Buddie)

Be Yours if You'd be Mine by InsaneJuliann/ @marvelingjules (Established Buddie, Post-S4 | 5K | Mature): Things with Buck are good. Sure, Eddie's pretty sure that some days Buck is still hiding something from him, and sure, their relationship is still a secret to their friends. But there are moments where Eddie can only feel how right it is, Buck in his life, with his family and with Chris. And Eddie may not be able to put a word to the feeling he's been having lately, but he knows that his relationship with Buck isn't going anywhere. At least, Eddie was sure of that until he potentially fucked things up. Now, he's not sure where they stand, precisely. He's not sure if he's what Buck really wants, or if Buck's second guessing. They need to talk. The thing is, talking and vulnerability has never been Eddie's strong suit. (Part 13 of The Evolution of Buddie)

somebody i can kiss by Rianne/ @rianneeyre (Christmas, Getting Together, Post-S5 | 7K | Explicit): Buck might be a little touch-starved. And he knew that, but he was not prepared to deal with how the knowledge would interact with his newfound awareness of his crush on—no, realistically, his undying love for Eddie. Because now, whenever he sees Eddie, Buck just wants to shuffle close, bury his face in Eddie’s neck, and hold him. Every second he spends with his best friend, he’s either picturing that, or he’s imagining Eddie’s mouth on his dick, Eddie’s hands on his skin, Eddie’s fingers in his mouth— Anyway. The point is, he should not spend Christmas on a fucking sleepover with Eddie. But he’s gonna.

A Brief Interruption by Leslie_Knope (S7E5 Spec, BuckTommy but Buddie Endgame | 8K | Teen): The restaurant door squeaks again, which Buck ignores, but it’s accompanied by a little noise, just a hitch paired with a small intake of breath, which would be completely unremarkable if not for the fact that Buck has heard that sound a thousand times and would recognize it anywhere. He turns his head, abruptly enough that Tommy’s mouth briefly mashes against his cheek. “Eddie,” Buck says, his voice squeaky and weird. His brain is just pure static, partly from the kiss and partly because Eddie is standing six feet away, eyes wide, staring like he’s never seen him before.

Take These Little Pebbles One by One by giselleslash/ @gigi-gigi (Post-S7E5, Endgame Buddie | 9K | Teen): Eddie tells Buck nothing will change between the two of them, except it does. He feels Buck quickly slipping away so he starts to steal pieces of him back. Literally. Or, the one where Eddie has a couple of come to Jesus moments courtesy of Christopher and Tommy, a bit of an emotional breakdown, and a lot of feelings about Evan Buckley’s dentist appointments and where his socks belong.

all I want (your eyes on mine) by bigfootsmom/ @bigfootsmom (Buck/Tommy/Eddie, PWP | 10K | Explicit): Buck is lying there, Eddie instantly recognizes the head of honey blond curls resting on the arm of the couch. But the head of short brown curls between Buck’s shaking thighs takes a second longer to place. But then they look up, blue eyes going comically wide as they lock onto Eddie. Tommy Kinard is on Buck’s couch. He’s on Buck’s couch between Buck’s thighs with his lips wrapped around Buck’s cock. The one where Eddie yearns, Buck pines, and Tommy just wants to have a good time.

🔥 give your heart and soul to charity by 42hrb/ @exhuastedpigeon (Post-S7E5, Sexuality Crisis | 12K | Teen): “It’s been a while since you asked for an emergency session,” Frank says, voice even as always. “Can I ask what brought this on?” “I think I just dumped god,” Eddie says and then he bursts out laughing. He can’t control it, he knows he sounds manic, like he’s somewhere between laughter and a breakdown, edging closer to the breakdown. “Holy shit I did dump god.” “I’m going to need just a little more than that,” Frank says and his face looks torn between concern and amusement. OR Eddie dumps God, gets some more therapy, accepts parts of himself he was taught to hate, loves his best friend, and loves himself.

Buck up, Buttercup by etlagiapet/ @etlagiapet (Canon Divergent, ~S5 | 14K | Mature): “God, you’d probably make a good writer for an advice column. You’re so earnest and optimistic, and you want to help people literally all the time.” Buck blinks at her, frozen with his beer halfway to his lips. His stomach does this thing, an excited little lurch that happens when he gets ahead of himself, but he can’t help it. He clears his throat and manages to ask, “Uh, really?”

Breaking news: LA firefighters in love by AnnaNSmith/ @annansmith (Taylor POV, ~S5, Getting Together | 19K | General): “In an incredible turn of events firefighter Buckley is alive and mostly unharmed. What could have ended in a devastating tragedy finds its happy ending after all. What an absolute relief that firefighter Buckley made it out alive and that we now see-” Taylor turns around, only to come to a stuttering stop at witnessing the spectacle in front of her “-my boyfriend kissing his best friend.” Or, Taylor gets a second shot at accompanying the 118 for another segment and notices that her boyfriend is a lot closer to his best friend than she remembers.

🔥 drink the river dry by Rianne/ @rianneeyre (Post Shooting, Getting Together | 32K | Explicit): It wasn’t until they were discussing his discharge paperwork and painkiller schedules that it really sunk in for Eddie that Buck would be staying with him and Christopher. That he would be around 24/7 except for his shifts at work. That he’ll sleep on the couch, where he’s been sleeping for days now to look after Christopher. The worst part is that it’s necessary—Eddie isn’t going to be able to do a damn thing for himself for the next couple of weeks. He’s lucky if he can put a shirt on by himself a month from now. Yeah, that’s going to be a problem. Or: Eddie gets shot, breaks up with his girlfriend, and pines like there’s no tomorrow.

🔥 The Heart Opening Sequence by Leslie_Knope (Post-S3, Getting Together | 34K | Mature): Eddie’s handsome, that’s obvious, Buck clocked that the second he met him. Part of him still can’t really believe that the guy he was so threatened by at first ended up as his closest friend, which is why these weird twinges are so unsettling. Buck isn’t sure if they’re real, for one, these odd flashes of what it would be like to lean over and kiss Eddie while they’re watching a movie or brush a hand over his back while they’re in the kitchen. And for two, it’s so far out of the realm of possibility that it’s barely worth thinking about.

🔥 everything (nothing) has changed by bizarrestars (Post-S4, Love Confessions | 48K | Explicit): After Eddie gets shot, Buck confesses his love. From there, things get a little out of hand.

🔥 let it pour out of your soul series by Rianne/ @rianneeyre (Magical Realism AU, Witch Eddie | 3 works | 71K | Complete):

collectively unconsciously composed (S4E6: Jinx | 46K | Explicit): Or: in which the author re-watched Buck Begins and Jinx and thought: what if this was gayer and had actual magic?

that systematic drug (PWP | 5K | Explicit): Eddie’s mouth goes dry when he opens the door and sees Buck. He’s clean-shaven and with his hair carefully styled back, smiling at Eddie sweetly and a little teasingly. Buck is wearing his dark jeans and his light blue v-neck polo shirt, the one that’s tight enough that it shows off the bulge of his biceps and the definition of his pecs and abs. Eddie knows this shirt. Buck's favourite, because he knows he looks good in it.

something binding us together (Established Buddie | 20K | Teen): Or: Eddie plans a long-avoided visit to his parents, discovers some things about his magic, and begins to build his family a home in LA's witching community.

Podfic

🔥 [podfic] tomorrow will always and forever now be today (tomorrow is our always and forever) by Matriaya // fic by @chronicowboy (Post-S6, Time Loop | 5-6h | Mature): "Think I can get a hug from my best man on my wedding day?" he asks, quietly hopeful in a way that makes Eddie want to tear off his skin. "Sure," Chris replies with a shrug, turning to throw Eddie a cheeky grin. "Dad, Buck needs a hug." (OR: eddie gets trapped in a time loop on the day buck marries natalia)

🔥 my certainty is wild, weaving [Podfic] by blackglass/ @blackestglitter for tuckergreeen/ @henwilsonmd (Post-S5A, Hurt Buck | 45-60min | Teen): “Eddie,” Carla says softly. “You could have called. We would’ve met you at the hospital.” He shakes his head. “No. I didn’t—uh. I didn’t go to the hospital.” He feels the way Carla’s hand goes still. “Eddie.” It’s not nearly as soft-spoken this time. “You didn’t go see him? Or Chim? Your team?” “They’re not my team,” Eddie says, almost without thinking. He winces as soon as the words are out. Or: Buck is hurt, Eddie is worried, and everything is broken.

[podfic] i was supposed to sweat you out (i think there's been a glitch) by half_bakedboy/@half-bakedboy // fic by @loserdiaz (Canon Divergent, Fire Academy | 45-60min | Explicit): "What's your problem, man?" "You. You're my fucking problem, Diaz." There were a lot of problems with Eddie Diaz, if you ask Buck. The guy is obnoxiously good at everything without even trying, he's too perfect, too confident. And the biggest problem of them all: Eddie's an attractive asshole that features more often than not in Buck's filthiest dreams. or; The Buck and Eddie meet at the fire academy, rivals to lovers fic.

🔥 Like Any Unloved Thing [Podfic] by ReformedTsunderePodfics/ @film-in-my-soul // fic by @hmslusitania (Urban Fantasy/Noir AU, PI Eddie, Ghost Buck | 1.5-2h | Mature): After the war, Eddie Diaz opened his own private investigation business here in LA and usually he does alright for himself. But this case, the one with the Buckley siblings, is going to crawl under his skin and stay there. It's going to change his life. He has no idea how.

[Podfic] If I Risk It All (Could You Break My Fall?) by liketherestofla, MistMarauder/@gracieryder for Princessfbi/ @princessfbi (James Bond AU | 4.5-5h | Explicit): “This is Buck,” Bobby said when Buck’s tongue refused to unstick from the top of his mouth. “Your new quartermaster.” Eddie’s eyes— brown with just a glint of green if you caught them in the right light— widened before he scanned Buck with another sweeping assessment. “You’re—” Buck had heard it all before. “Not all of us nerds are the skinny kids that used to get picked on in high school.”

🔥 Hot Ghost Problems by ebjameston [Podfic] by Rhea314 (Rhea)/ @rhea314 // fic by @ebjameston (Canon Divergent, S2, Ghost Buck, Witch Eddie | 5-6h | Teen): Eddie is the newest firefighter at the 118. Buck is the ghost haunting the 118. Unfortunately for both of them, Eddie's also a witch and needs to put Buck's spirit to rest, because that's what witches do. Turns out, Buck's spirit? Super not interested in being put to rest. Very interested, however, in flirting with Firefighter Diaz, who is just trying to survive his candidate year. (Also turns out, Buck? Super not dead.)

🔥 Cowboy With a One Track Mind by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon Divergence, Not A Firefighter Buck | 2/4 | 11K | Mature): Spin-off Sequel to Evan Buckley & the Coma-Verse of Madness - Chapter 7 (Land): Grieving and tortured, Evan Buckley has been living alone in Montana in a remote cabin for nearly a decade. After an incident that leaves him missing six months of his life, and suddenly in connection with a group of strangers from Los Angeles, Evan must decide whether to remain in his self-imposed exile, or take a chance at life again.

🔥 Any Other Way by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon Divergent, S2 | 9/18 | 49K | Mature): In a switcheroo alternate universe, Buck spends young adulthood in the military, while Eddie, who has no idea Christopher exists, spends his twenties messing around, finally enjoying freedom away from his family’s expectations. When they both end up in Los Angeles, at the 118, some things are different, and others will be the same in any universe.

At the Start of the End of the World | Teen | 45K

Author: InsaneJuliann / marvelingjules Artist: mc-i-r

Eddie survived the Demobats (if only barely), Max is in a coma, and the Upside Down is seeping slowly into Hawkins. Steve’s doing what he can, looking out for the people he cares about - but who takes care of him? Eddie, who’s cleared of murder charges but only technically, figures he’s got the time and the interest in taking that job on. And maybe, there’s more to the friendship growing between them than just Platonic feelings. But as the Upside Down grows stronger in Hawkins, becoming harder to ignore, and old enemies and allies make themselves known, Steve and Eddie’s growing feelings for each other may have to wait - indefinitely.

Happy birthday! Submitting a second ask for WIP Wednesday with "Bangfic CH14"

OKAY, so I fell asleep before getting to all the things last night, so I'm gonna run through all the same-hat asks in a single post.

These are bits from Final Pack, which I wrote on to share since I can't share bangfic (but I did write the sentences for bangfic too, obviously)

WIP Wednesday | Make me write | The Final Pack

-----

“Does she know? That he’s out here?”

“Charlie?” He shook his head. “He didn’t want to get her hopes up, in case you said no, or- or knew it wouldn’t work. Steve, he- he loves her more than I could possibly explain. You have to understand that he would never hurt her. He would do anything for her, and she’d deserve it. Charlie deserves the whole world.”

Steve’s eyes shadowed, but he nodded. “You love her, too.”

-----

“I’ll do it for you, though.”

Confused, Osker turned back. “I said I won’t want it.”

The quirk of Steve’s brow told Osker he definitely heard that lie. “I mean that I’ll bite him, because you’re the one asking.”

Osker’s heart picked up again, making him a little light headed. The way Steve looked at him, like he still wanted to bite Osker, should have been unsettling, but all it did was stoke warmth in his belly. “Why?” he asked, cautious. “What difference does it make, who asks?”

-----

“And you’ll tell him that the venom might kill him,” Steve said firmly. “It could go either way with him. You make sure he’s willing to take that risk. If he loves his mate, he should consider what it would do to her to lose him.”

“I’ll tell him again,” Osker agreed. “I’ll make sure he understands. Do you- do I need to stay again, too? Like before?”

@lizhly @veteratorianvillainy @marvelingjules @aisalynn @starryeyedjanai @aparticularbandit @six-of-snakes @whimsicalmeerkat This should cover all the sentences for these asks!

I think the funniest of these are accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss(because how), divorce of convenience(because why), and nursing home au(ghfsdfhjsdfdf)(hounds are seniors trying to break out of the nursing home to like, go to a club. or a candy shop. art theft. all of these?)

REVERSE TROPE WRITING PROMPTS

Too many beds

Accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss

Really nice guy who hates only you

Academic rivals except it’s two teachers who compete to have the best class

Divorce of convenience

Too much communication

True hate’s kiss (only kissing your enemy can break a curse)

Dating your enemy’s sibling

Lovers to enemies

Hate at first sight

Love triangle where the two love interests get together instead

Fake amnesia

Soulmates who are fated to kill each other

Strangers to enemies

Instead of fake dating, everyone is convinced that you aren’t actually dating

Too hot to cuddle

Love interest CEO is a himbo/bimbo who runs their company into the ground

Nursing home au

1, 4, 5

1)  is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?  Not holding off per se, but there are a few stories in my head (mostly  continuations of other fics) that have been kicking around there for a  while. They don’t feel finished yet, or ready to write, and so I’m not  yet buckling down to get on that. 

4) favorite character you’ve written. Jiang Cheng. No questions asked. They boy is just a well of hurt/comfort tropes and I like to give him all the happy ends he deserves. 

5) character you were most surprised to end up writing. I’m still surprised about my doting Lan Qiren agenda, to be honest, so I’d have to say Lan Qiren.

Tell me about Tyson Barrie! ;) (Flower seemed too obvious.) (Snippet? Yes please...?!)

You guys aren’t tired of me talking about Tyson Barrie??

I love him, he’s wonderful. Not only is he a strong ally (read about how he supported his friend when he came out and it made waves in the NHL) but he’s just so heckin’ cute with his sparkling brown eyes and bunny teeth.

Plus he had his heart broken by his team and is now in Edmonton, which is just... mean.

Snippet below the cut:

Well, at least he had a nice view. The barista was tall, curly hair black as a crow’s wing pulled off his fine-boned face and trapped under a hairnet. There was a smear of flour on his cheek and his apron was tugged sideways, like he’d caught it on something. As Lukas watched, he yanked on it absently, but all he managed to do was make it worse. Was he going to strangle himself to death in front of all his customers, Lukas wondered. Certainly would perk up his morning, but he’d probably be late for practice and then Coach would yell at him again and threaten to bench him.

The woman behind him cleared her throat pointedly and Lukas realized he’d neglected to keep up with the line.

He took two quick steps forward and the barista greeted him absently, bending to pick up a towel that had fallen on the floor.

“You’re not gonna clean the counters with that, are you?” Lukas said before his brain caught up with his mouth. He’d been trying for teasing, but clearly that wasn’t how it had come out, as the barista straightened, towel in one hand and eyes like chips of black ice. JAVI, his name tag read.

“Of course not, sir,” he said, mouth tight. “What can I get you?”

“I was—” Lukas stopped. “Um. A, uh… bran muffin and large black Americano, extra shot of espresso.”

“Name?”

“Lukas. With a K. Not that it matters. I don’t care if you spell it with a C.” He trailed off

Javi pulled a muffin from the display case and dropped it in a small paper bag, then turned to pour the coffee as Lukas watched.

“My digestion’s fine,” Lukas said after a minute.

Javi glanced up. “What?”

“Because… of the… bran—” He could feel how hot his face was getting. “I just like the taste, is all. I don’t have a problem taking a—” Mercifully, his last brain cell kicked in and he somehow managed to snap his mouth shut without finishing the sentence. Someone behind him snickered. 

Javi just went back to making the coffee.

“You guys seem busy,” Lukas said, just for something to say.

Javi didn’t bother dignifying that with a response, but the purple-haired young woman glanced over and ran her thumb across her throat, rolling her eyes for dramatic effect. Lukas couldn’t stop the grin as Javi looked up.

Lukas sobered instantly. “Sorry, I didn’t—I wasn’t laughing at you.” Could he die, he wondered frantically. Could he just evaporate right through the floor of the building, never to be seen again? Just because he’d never been able to access superpowers before didn’t mean anything. Maybe he’d just never needed them before. Maybe he could be miles away using only his mind, if he really tried. What was the damn word for it?

“Sir?” Javi said.

“Teleportation!” Lukas blurted.

Javi’s eyebrows climbed into his hairline. “Americano. And a bran muffin.” He held them both out and Lukas took them, chastened. Invisibility was always an option, wasn’t it? 

“Thanks,” he mumbled, and turned.

“Sir?” Javi said. “Sir! That’ll be $7.85.”

He could always just drop the coffee and muffin and make a run for it. He’d have to leave the country, of course. Move to Russia and play in the KHL, maybe. One thing was certain—he could never come back here again.

The woman behind him wasn’t even trying to hide her laughter. Lukas gave her a filthy look and turned back to Javi, who was waiting with a hand outstretched.

Lukas pulled a twenty from his wallet. “Keep the change,” he said. He couldn’t lift his eyes past Javi’s (very perfect) jawline as he shoved the bill across the counter and then fled.

It wasn’t until he got to his car that he realized his cup said LUCAS on it, written out in sharp, deliberate letters.
