    Summary

    For most of his life, Buck's watched other people meet their soulmates and fall in love. Even Maddie, now that they're in Los Angeles, has Chimney. But him? He's stuck with a blank timer and a pipe dream.

    Or: The TiMER AU no one asked for.

    Summary

    "It's always the kitchen, huh," Eddie says after taking a swig off his beer and pulls a chair out to sit.

    Buck leans against a counter facing Eddie. "What?"

    "Our serious talks," Eddie elaborates. "They always happen in one of our kitchens. mostly mine, but still."

    Buck arches a brow, his fingers tightening around the cold beer bottle in his hand.

    "Is that what we're doing? having a serious talk?" Are you going to grab my shoulder and point an accusatory finger at me again?

    Eddie's beer bottle clanks aggainst the table as he puts it down and lets out a sigh.

    "It's what I came here to do."

    Summary

    “Can I-and I apologize if this is overstepping, in any way,” Alex continues, her voice mercifully dissolving the mental image Eddie had cursed himself with. 

    “But, since we’re here, I just wanted to offer."

    She digs around in her purse for a moment, and Eddie looks at Buck. He raises his eyebrows in a question, and Buck shrugs. 

    Sure. Now he knows what Eddie is thinking.

    Alex discards her purse and looks up at Buck and Eddie. 

    “Well, I can’t find my cards, but I’d be happy to give you guys my information.” 

    Eddie narrows his eyes in genuine uncertainty. 

    Buck leans forward, elbows on his knees, and asks the question they’re both thinking. 

    “Information for what, exactly?” 

    “Right, sorry, I wasn’t super clear,” Alex says with a shake of her head. She smiles brightly. “I do couples counseling, too. First session is on me, if you guys are interested. I have plenty of experience with long-term partners. LGBT included, so you’d feel right at home!” 

    Eddie leans forward now, mouth open in shock. 

    “How–” 

    Eddie doesn’t finish the thought, because Buck is choking. Of course.

    Summary

    That would be the pattern. That would be the smart choice, statistically, intuitively. It was his pattern, after all. But once again, he just couldn’t call a spade a spade, not when his heart was saying, well, “Hearts.”

    Eddie leaned back a bit, a brief look of surprise in his eyes, before shaking it off entirely.

    “Switching it up, Buckley?” He chuckled, bending the card upward so only he could peak. A smile crept across his face, though it looked as if Eddie was biting it back. He held the card fully in his hand now, still shielded from Buck’s view, and stared at it with an unfamiliar emotion taking shape along the line of his jaw. Finally, rather than setting it on the table, he placed the card into Buck’s hand, Eddie’s fingers pressing gently against his palm.

    More weight. Buck sucked in a breath, pushing ever so slightly into Eddie’s touch. His thumb finally grabbed onto the card now in his hand, as he finally looked down.

    A king of hearts.

    OR-
    Buck follows the pattern. And despite months of Buck's distance and avoidance, he finds that it always leads back to Eddie.

    Summary

    Eddie frowns at her through the rearview mirror. “What do you need to be distracted from?” The traffic in front of them is inching forward and Eddie’s car rolls ahead slowly.

    Gwen lets out a long, slightly shaky breath. “The fact that I just spent a week with my homophobic family and now I’m going to go home and tell my best friend I’m in love with her.”

    Eddie stops a little too suddenly, enough that Gwen’s seatbelt tightens and stops her from flopping forward. “Ah.”

    (or, Gwen just needed a ride to the airport. She didn’t mean to trigger a sexuality crisis in her Uber driver. Oops. )
