Summary
He had absolutely no idea what Sokka knew or didn't know about how things were between him and Katara. He hadn't seen her in far too long, not since Sokka's twenty birthday party, and it had been even longer since they were last on speaking terms. So he had done the only sensible thing he could think of. He'd agreed, hung up the phone, and crawled into bed, calling himself an idiot all night.

Summary
"You think Tommy was into me?"
Buck can't meet Eddie's eyes. "I mean, sure... why not? You're, you know, you."
Eddie is watching him. Like watching, watching him, and Buck's so sure he's seeing something - something that Buck isn't sure if he, himself, has seen yet. "Well," he's too playful, too loose, "we could always test that theory."
Buck's entire existence sours. "Okay, friendship is fine, but I draw the line at you, what, leading on my ex?"
Eddie laughs, blistering bright, and rolls his eyes. "Not what I meant..."
"So what did you mean?" Buck says through a laugh that spikes and splints like cracks through the syllables.
Eddie's grin tilts up at the same moment his head tilts down.
-
Buck is handling his breakup poorly - funnily enough, so is Eddie.

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
Buck takes it to the grave.
He doesn’t mean to. It’s just—with all that time he spent teasing death, all the motorcycles and factory fires and blood-coated grenades—death gets impatient, in the end. Right as he’s starting to take life seriously. After he puts his name on the lease, buys life a ring, like, I’m in this for the long haul. Death gets jealous, and Buck falls through a second-story floor onto a derelict wrought-iron stair rail, and his femoral artery begins the quick but methodical work of leaking out the next fifty or sixty years of his life onto the charred tile floor.Bookmarked by aastrea

Summary
“Bless your heart, you really are new to this. Good for y’all, though. I’m glad this ship is… accepting.”

All four wince as a young man taps the microphone onstage.
“Testing, testing,” he jokes. “Welcome to the Cruisin’ Couples Trivia Tournament!”
The patrons around them cheer. Eddie digs his nails into Buck’s skin harsh enough to make him wince.
“Oh,” he breathes. “This is for couples.”
or: After getting dumped, Buck is left with two tickets to a weeklong cruise. Eddie steps in to support a friend in need, but complications arise when his friend becomes his fake husband. All's fair in love, war, and trivia.
