    Summary

    Evan 'Buck' Buckley doesn't think of himself as a violent person.

    He forgets to remind himself of this fact as he draws his fist back and then hooks it around to strike his opponent.

    The returning blows come as a flurry of movement. First comes the impact, then a tingling sensation, and finally a throbbing pain radiating from Buck's jaw up to his temple and through his entire skull. He stumbles back; vision hazy, the faint metallic taste of blood in his mouth. Another hit lands before he has a chance to re-orientate himself, sending him falling backwards- hard.

    Or
    Eddie has left for El Paso, so Buck needs a new hobby to keep distracted.
    Baking won't cut it. So, the obvious solution is beginner MMA.
    To make things interesting, Buck's trainer shares a striking resemblance to his best friend.

    Buck promised his loved ones that he wouldn't go getting into trouble, but he shouldn't make promises he can't keep...

    Summary

    After a while, he whispers it, barely louder than the rustle of his sheets.

    A wish, a prayer, maybe it’s a plea.

    I want to know everything.

    It spills out of him in the stillness that follows, not loud, not dramatic, just the quiet truth of it.

    “I wish you’d let me know you. I wish you trusted me with the parts you never show. The fears you don’t name. The secrets you keep buried so deep even you don’t look at them for long.

    I wish I’d known you before life made you flinch. Before war and heartbreak, before your smile got quieter. I wish I’d seen the kid you were, so I could understand how you became the man I’m—

    Buck pauses, the words catching in his throat.

    —the man I’ve fallen in love with, without a shred of logic or timing or self-preservation.

    I wish you’d let me know you.”

    Or; Buck makes a wish and it comes true. So he spends the following twenty four hours with Eddie aging up three years every time he falls asleep.

    Summary

    Buck’s vision was starting to blur at the edges, a dark vignette creeping in like smoke. His hand fumbled for Eddie’s sleeve but didn’t quite make contact. He slumped further down, back pressing against the base of the table, trying to stay quiet. Trying not to make this worse.

    His fingers came away from his chest, soaked in red.

    No one had seen it yet.

    And Buck couldn’t find the air to call out.

    OR

    The 118 only meant to attend a gala—but by the end of the night, Buck was shot, and nothing was ever the same again.

    Summary

    A year ago, Buck kissed a stranger in a hotel bar and woke up thinking maybe it could be more.
    A year ago, Eddie left before sunrise with a note that said nothing at all.
    Now they’re professors on the same campus, expected to co-teach like their bodies don’t remember.
    Footnotes don’t start revolutions. But maybe a kiss did.

    OR the college professors AU nobody asked for!

    Summary

    “You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”

    Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

    “Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”

    Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”

    ----

    Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.
