Eddie says, desperately, “We weren’t doing anything.”
Christopher looks at Buck. “Were you about to kiss him?”
Buck’s face goes bright red in a way Eddie didn’t know Buck’s face could go. “No!”

Eddie’s whole body heats. “No.”

Summary
On a quiet weekend, Eddie surprises Buck with a drive up the coast to see elephant seals. The road is long, the air is salty, and the space between them feels different when there’s nowhere else to be.

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
“Wanna dance?” Eddie asks, leaning only slightly away to look at Buck. He’s smirking now, eyes traveling all over Buck’s face, taking in his expression and the color blooming on his cheeks.
There’s a look in Eddie’s eyes now, one that Buck hadn’t quite seen before this trip. Or had he? Did it just not mean to him then what he realizes, or thinks, it means now? Regardless, it confirms a thought that has been niggling at the back of his mind all night.
Flirting. Eddie was flirting with him.
or, Buck visits Eddie in Texas a few months after he leaves LA. They road trip to Austin with Adriana to stay with Sophia, who has planned a night out on the town that none of them will soon forget - especially Buck and Eddie.

Summary
Hen scoffed. “I never said I wanted to be part of your hair-brained scheme.”
“Please, Hen. I can’t try and explain to another one of my children that Uncle Buck and Uncle Eddie aren’t actually married, they’re just like That.” When Hen remained unmoved, Chimney added, “I need you. I can’t do this without your help.”
Hen just stared at Chim; her arms crossed. Buck couldn’t see her face, but he had a pretty good idea of what expression she was making, dark brows drawn together, eyes narrowed, lips pursed.
“Ugh,” she groaned at last, “fine, I’ll help you.” Chim almost started to whoop in delight, when Hen cut him off. “On one condition,” she said. “You’re not allowed to tell one of them that the other is dead. They already have enough trauma around that.”
Chim pouted. “You’re no fun.”

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.”

The Diaz parents showing up unexpectedly to the shared Buckley-Diaz household leads to some unexpected confrontations, late night conversations, and over due confessions.

He plops down on the couch again, sets his elbows on his knees, and looks Eddie in the eye. “Okay. Soooo,” he says. “You’re asking me to marry you.”
“Yes,” Eddie says.
“On a Wednesday,” Buck says.
“Yep.”
“As a friend.”
Eddie’s nose scrunches. “Ye-ep. Just about covers it.”
“Why?”

Summary
Eddie flipped the postcard one last time, reading over the words he’d inked into the paper. His thumb brushed along the corner as he slipped the card into the slot.
Hey Buck,
I’m drunk in Texas and this is still the only address I know by heart. I miss you.
Yours,
E.D.

Summary
Eddie finally lets himself want.
-----
“I think I might ask him out.”
Eddie breathes in.
“He gave me his number, after all.”
Eddie breathes out.
Buck smiles. “But you don’t care about that. You’d rather just box it all up. Pretend it’s not there, and not even bother to say what you’re really thinking. You know, you get after me for not asking, and you’re right, I need to do that more, and I’m going to work on it. I am. But Eddie, you—you’re just as bad with not talking.”
“Buck,” Eddie says, the name out of his mouth before he knows it’s there. He doesn’t know what he’s saying with it. Do you want me? I want you. Please want me, too. All of the above and more.

All he could do was watch and hope.
Of course, hope is a terrible thing. He should’ve learned that lesson by now.
Eddie could only watch in horror, in helplessness, as one final boom released into the air.
The line snapped.
Buck’s eyes widened in horror at Eddie, before quickly changing to sadness. To acceptance.
Buck disappeared under the concrete that came raining down.

"It's not what it looks like," Buck blurts.
Bobby's eyebrows reach for his hairline. "So you weren't violating the one-firefighter-per-shower regulation?"
"We," Buck sputters. "I mean, okay, yeah. We were, but we—"
"We were figuring out breakfast," Eddie cuts in.
"Well, next time, figure it out in different stalls."

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
07 Dec 2025
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Outsidethefox: Ah, is this your first time here? Welcome to Grindr, where the dick pictures are plentiful and unwanted, and the spelling and grammar are generally atrocious.
AC/DC: it’s true, i’m a grindr virgin, i’ve mostly dated girls before and y'all are… wild here.
Outsidethefox: It is certainly an experience. I have only signed in once before myself, but so far the second time seems to be much of the same.
Outsidethefox: With the exception of this conversion of course.

Revealeth to me your deepest secrets! In addition to yours being my most irritating open ticket, it’s also my most interesting. Funny how those qualities so often go hand-in-hand.

Summary
“That’s when Alex sees him.
He’s seated at the edge of the pool, legs dangling in the warm water of the shallow end. There’s another man standing in the pool, with his face pressed to the spot where long limbs meet tiny waist. Honestly though, that’s not what gets Alex’s attention—he’s far from the only person in Alex’s line of sight having his cock sucked.
But he’s certainly the prettiest.”
Or, Alex meets Henry on Fire Island.

Summary
He can’t stop thinking about the fucking ankle. About what it represents. The sensuality of the muscles and tendons underneath the flesh, begging for the press of his fingerprints, the indention of his teeth, those same ankles crossed and pressed into Alex’s lower back, the sweet symphony of two bodies finding solace and pleasure in one another even if only until morning light breaks through the curtains.
He wants to get fucked, basically.

newly out as bi, alex decides the best way to commemorate the occasion is to sleep with the most well-endowed guy on campus. henry thinks he might be insane, and isn't quite sure what that says about him for being the one to catch feelings when this whole thing was just supposed to be practice in the first place. it all works out. eventually.

Henry Fox was going to marry Alex Claremont-Diaz.
This is one truly objective fact. It is not something that Henry believes, but something that he knows in his heart.

Summary
“One more thing you should know,” Pez adds as Henry takes the invitation from him. “June Claremont-Diaz is coming.”
Henry freezes.
June Claremont-Diaz isn’t the problem. She’s a lovely girl, and her articles about their shelter openings have always been kind. Pez has invited her to each fundraiser since the Los Angeles shelters’ opening, and she’s attended every single one, happy to participate in the theme if she can get a good article out of it.
No, the problem isn’t June Claremont-Diaz. The problem is her brother.
Or, Henry and Pez’s new shelter is opening in Brooklyn, and Henry is determined to spend the entire night avoiding Alex, while Alex is determined to do the exact opposite of that.
