Summary
“A week,” Eddie sighed. “We can do this, right?”
Eddie’s gaze was pleading, needing assurance and comfort. His eyebrows were pinched in the middle of his forehead and Buck wanted to reach out and smooth it out with his thumb. Instead, he said, “’Course we can. We’ve faced tsunamis, beenados, earthquakes, broken dams… hey, where do we think the Diaz Parents Staying For A Week ranks?”
“Most likely to end in death,” Eddie muttered.
Buck clicked his tongue as he pulled the bowls from the cabinet for the salad, “That’s the lightning strike, actually.”
or
The Diaz parents showing up unexpectedly to the shared Buckley-Diaz household leads to some unexpected confrontations, late night conversations, and over due confessions.

Summary
Buck taps the base of his glass with one finger. “Okay, ground rule addendum.”
“This is a dangerous amount of structure for two people ordering potatoes,” Eddie says.
“Shut up,” Buck says, affectionate. “Addendum: if we hit a grief pocket, we don’t pretend it’s not there, but we also don’t drown in it. Say ‘grief pocket’ out loud and we change the angle.”
Eddie stares at him and then laughs, the kind that sneaks up and shakes something he didn’t know was a fist. “Grief pocket?”
“Like hot pockets,” Buck says, too fast, the joke covering something fragile. “But sad.”
“Do you hear yourself?”
“Constantly,” Buck says. “It’s a nightmare.”
OR Three years after Bobby's funeral, Eddie and Buck finally talk.

Summary
Maybe he just needs to meet the right person. That’ll help with the giant best friend-shaped hole in his chest. He clicks the end of his pen and writes:
I’ll meet the love of my life tomorrow.
Or, Buck's journal grants wishes. It's not his fault that the only things he wants are the things he can't have.

“Don’t steal him from us. We were talking!” Maddie says to Buck.
Buck sticks his tongue out. “I call dibs.”
“You can’t call dibs on a person, Evan. Do we need to have the ‘people aren’t objects’ talk?”
Buck’s hold on Eddie’s hand tightens, like Maddie was about to pull Eddie back down. He has never been more happy to be in the middle of a sibling war. Or… to be called dibs on? Eddie doesn’t know, but his heart is fluttering, and that traitorous warmth is rising in his cheeks.
Buck is a great roommate. And then he starts kissing Eddie.

"I don’t like oranges.”
“Since when?” Eddie frowns. “You used to love oranges.”
Christopher shrugs. “I don’t like them anymore.”

Summary
Okay, so Eddie isn’t a hundred percent sure Buck feels the same. But sometimes when Buck looks at him Eddie feels loved, like Buck is capable of making his love a solid thing with weight and density, that he places around Eddie’s shoulders like a cloak of Evan Buckley’s devotion.
The first problem with being in love with your best friend (who may love you back), who doesn’t know that you’re even an option—is that it means you have to make yourself an option, and the only way Eddie can be an option, is by telling Buck he is an option.
And the Buckley-Han New Year’s party, probably isn’t the time for The Big Gay Reveal™; queue jazz hands and confetti.
Or; It’s New Year’s Eve, and Eddie accidentally comes out to all of his friends throughout the night.

Summary
Looking at Eddie right now is equal parts a flood of relief and nearly unbearable. Buck tries to grapple with the opposing emotions as Eddie stands before him looking a little worse for wear.
This time it was not helplessly digging through mud or a desperate crawl; it was a routine save. They’d done this countless times before. Buck just wishes it hadn’t been Eddie that needed saving.
or Eddie doesn't get hurt at all and Buck manages to be totally and completely normal

Summary
The credits had just begun to roll when Eddie noticed Buck playing with the hem of his dress, fingers grazing his thigh every couple of seconds, sending sparks through his skin. Eddie turned to face him, finding Buck staring down to where he was fiddling with the fabric.
A shiver went through Eddie as Buck’s fingers grazed his thigh again and Eddie nervously blurted, “What are you doing?”
Buck’s eyes flicked up to meet Eddie’s, looking slightly surprised, like he hadn’t been fully aware of his own actions.
“Nothing, you just– you look really pretty,” his fingers continued toying with the material as he spoke and Eddie felt his cheeks burn.
or
Eddie realizes he really likes to feel pretty, and Buck helps him through the complicated feelings that come along with that.

Summary
When Bobby had arranged the camping trip, it was with a particular goal in mind, one which he had expressed to his wife early on in the planning.
“And how are you going to make that happen? They’ll get a whiff of you interfering and it’ll be game over,” Athena had commented, but despite sharing her namesake’s wit, she didn’t understand the 118 quite as well as he did.
“I don’t have to do any interfering. All I need to do is get them there, and the rest will work itself out.”
And he was right. A little too right.
Secrets are spilled and truths brought to light when the 118 and their partners go on a camping trip.
Oh, and there’s malaphors. Lots of malaphors.

Summary
On the screen, the camera pans down as they introduce the contestants. Mary, on her 3rd day winning streak, is a dowdy teacher type. Center stage is occupied by a graying man with loopy handwriting named Auggie. And all the way to the right is…
Evan.
Damn.
---
One night when Eddie can't sleep, he discovers the hottest Jeopardy contestant of all time (objectively). With the "help" of his team and his fairly good working knowledge of Twitter, they devise a plan to get Evan (from Jeopardy) to slide into Eddie's DMs. It works surprisingly well.

Summary
“Someone referred to me as your wife the other day.” Buck started.
Eddie choked on air. His cheeks were so pink. Why did he blush like that? Buck was paler than him, and yet somehow he didn’t blush anywhere near as hard as Eddie himself did.
“Do you think of me as your old ball and chain?” Eddie asked, going along with the joke despite the frankly upsetting colour of his cheeks. How was this Buck looking in love with him? Obviously they were comfortable with each other, but still.
Buck gasped, his eyes big, his back straightening out as he got ready to fight with God himself on this topic. Eddie knew immediately the rant he had started, Buck’s mockingly serious voice raising as he stared Eddie down intently.
“I would never refer to my wife as the old ball and chain. You don’t hold me down, you pick me up, you dirty little bitch. You’re the wind beneath my wings. God.”

Summary
“You weren’t supposed to see that.”
“Eddie, this is…” Buck murmurs, his voice fading out when he still can’t find the words he’s looking for.
He glances back over the drawing again, desperate to take more of it in - to greedily gulp down all of the beauty that the artwork holds. And Buck’s breath catches in the back of his throat when he notices something else: there’s a pink splotch above Buck’s left eyebrow, but - but it’s drawn in the shape of a loveheart.

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
‘I always wanted to be a Jedi as a kid. A long con for Halloween costumes would’ve just meant you secretly read my mind or something.’
‘I am pretty good at that sometimes.’
Buck smiles at him, fond, and Eddie aches, he aches so much to tell Buck all the things about his big stupid gay awakening that he couldn’t tell his best friend when he came out to him during a quiet night sometime after Chris first texted him back in the summer. All the things that are so intimately tied to Buck.
‘You are,’ Buck says, quiet, eyes sparkling and Eddie’s a stronger man than he thought because he doesn't get on one knee in the middle of the kitchen and propose to another man's boyfriend. ‘Really good. At that.’-----
It's Halloween, Chris is heading back to Texas for a few days and Frank gives Eddie therapy homework to do something for himself, to let himself want things. Eddie enlists Buck's help and something shifts between them in the following week.

Summary
Some men would call Henry a fool.
He’s standing at a bar an hour to midnight in a packed nightclub on New Years Eve hoping to catch sight of a man he’s met all of once. Perhaps fool is too lighthearted a word for what he is. Foolishly optimistic—though, he’s never been deemed the optimistic sort before, he supposes there’s a first for everything.
Some people, people like Pez, who are standing watch—or, rather, dancing watch from a respectable distance away—call Henry a reformed fool. Because the fool part came a year ago when he let the world’s most perfect match disappear into a crowd and out of Henry’s life with the promise of returning in a year.

Summary
Henry can’t bring himself to feel shameful about staring when Alex heaves himself up off of the ground, muscles taut and chest heaving as the crowd goes wild around him, chanting Alex’s name and cheering. He shrinks against the noise and the movement but it does him no use to try to hide, every inch of his body prickling with anticipation.
And Alex looks obscene, a filthy grin stretching his lips with his chin jutted into the air and his fist held high in the middle of the ring above his motionless opponent, the blood from his nose staining his flushed skin and a bit of his teeth, his half-lidded eyes locked in on Henry like a fixation: the predator and his prey.
+
Henry finds unexpected solace in the thrill of an underground haven, where status—and who he shares a bed with—doesn't really seem to matter. But the deeper he goes, the harder it is to pull away, and Henry's shocked to discover so much of himself where he'd least expected to find it.
He's not the one inside the ring, but he's only just finding out what it truly means to fight.
