    Summary

    Buck makes Eddie feel hopeful. He makes him forget himself. He makes him think that there’s a slither of possibility in which Eddie can give everything, can hand over every part of himself in exchange for every part of Buck. It’s a dizzying experience, to doubt yourself so completely and then with a flash of Buck’s smile, want to try, try to throw caution to the wind because Buck would make it so good, easier than anything has ever been before.

    or; eddie diaz moves into buck's house post stabbing. eddie drinks various fun, juice-adjacent drinks. eddie wants, wants, wants.

    Summary

    “Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.

    The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—

    An olive hits him square in the forehead.

    “There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”

    Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

    Summary

    “Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”

    Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”

    “I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”

    Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

    Summary

    "Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”

    “I’m not leaving you.”

    “What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”

    For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.

    Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.

    Thinking of all the things she would lose.

    OR

    Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.

    Summary

    He wakes up with Eddie's arm thrown over his waist.

    There's a pit in his stomach as soon as he opens his eyes, because the alarm is on again, the same radio station, the same song. The sunlight streaming into the room is buttery-soft, brand new because it's early. The alarm is ringing so they can take Chris to school. And—

    He reaches out for the bedside table on his side of the bed they share, clumsily unplugs his phone one-handed. The screen lights up to a familiar wallpaper, and it's right there, just above the top of Buck's head: Wednesday.

    or: buck breaks up with eddie, even if it means losing a part of himself, because it's the right thing to do. the universe decides to test that conviction.
