Summary
“Didn’t think I needed calvary from you for that one, princess. I was just trying to help you before, my sincerest apologies.”
Taylor is not someone who gets needled easily. She does the needling. It’s part of her skillset. But for some reason this – Lucy, that was it Lucy fucking Donato – is getting under her skin. “Well, thank you for the sisterhood,” she says, sarcastically. “But you’re hardly innocent, you kissed someone in a relationship.”
*
Taylor meets Lucy again in a bar, and hooks up with her mostly out of curiosity and spite, and insists it will never happen again. But it does. And does again...

buck's hiding a new relationship from everyone, for totally normal reasons that don't have to do with any other romantic feelings he's ignoring or any other trauma he's not processing. it's not about death or people moving away or anything, ok? People would just be a little judgemental. And Ravi has a birthday at Barcade with his friends and family. There's no way anything can go wrong here...

Just seemingly determined to find a place on his own. He says it's because he never really has - every other place he's moved into someone else's house or room or Abby’s apartment.

Summary
“I just needed -” he starts, haltingly.
“A minute?” she finishes. “Yeah. Me too.”
She doesn’t mean to sniff at this, but she does. Can’t quite keep it in. Buck’s wet eyes get bigger and sadder. There’s something strangely different about how he looks at her because of it though. She appreciates everyone’s kind words, their genuine grief and their comforting hugs. But they all look at her like they know what they’ve lost is not equal to what she’s lost.
He doesn’t. She supposes that makes sense.

Summary
Dan grins, takes a sip of his beer. “I have a lot more space here.”
“There’s space in New York.”
Dan snorts. “Yeah, if you’re a Rockefeller.”
Casey takes a sip of his beer. “What are you, eighty years old? You have the most old-man references.”
“Oh, I think that’s the pot calling the kettle old and out of touch. I haven’t forgotten the Starlight Vocal Band.”
*
2007: while living on separate coasts, Casey gets publicly outed. Dan invites him to LA to get away from New York for a while. Conversations, late nights and Chinese food on Dan's couch.

Summary
“How are we gonna practice dating if we can't even take the first step?”
Three hours later, when he was lying in bed staring up at the ceiling, Eddie would not be able to pinpoint with any certainty what possessed him to say what he said next. All he knew was that at the time, it seemed like the perfect answer, the obvious solution.
“We practice on each other.”

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. )

Summary
The conversation moves on. Buck orders another shot and laughs on cue and remains silent. He might as well be invisible. Nobody has asked him a question in forty-five minutes—
“So, what do you do?” The Hot Priest turns to Buck, gentle brown eyes filled with curiosity. The table falls silent.
“Uh–” Buck stammers, disarmed, “I run a store. Or, well–a coffee shop. A cafe.”
“Cool,” he says like he means it, and Buck kind of believes he does.

Or, the Fleabag au.
