If you could only see the beast you've made of me.

A 5+1, with 5 times Tommy left (after the first kiss, after the first failed date, after the breakup, after the hookup, and after bringing Buck home from the lab and making sure he was ok) and the one time he stayed (immediately after crashing his helicopter into a cliff).

Opening with Buck doing CPR and begging Tommy not to leave him again, because he's always leaving him. Then cut to all the times he did, because we never got to see those immediate moments after and that would be a fic goldmine...

Tommy, who learns exactly who it is after some of the guys from Harbor help fill in the empty spots.

And so, he figures he should probably get Evan a present, right? For the kid? It's just the proper thing to do, and not at all weird or awkward. And that's how he finds himself standing in the toy aisle after shift, exhausted, running on fumes, and wondering if a Lego Star Wars set is appropriate for a kid that's...shit, he doesn't actually know how old.

They've aired the first two of the remaining six episodes. They're airing them on Wednesday at 8pm.

I thought the first two since they came back where really good, and I've always watched live, but I can understand wanting to wait and see what happens first.
