Summary
Buck is currently having the best month of his life.
The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. The weather is right in that golden zone where he can go out without a jacket and feel the sun warm his skin without being too warm. And Eddie Diaz is his boyfriend. The love of his life, if he's honest, but he's playing it cool. So completely cool.
The one problem, however, is that Eddie has only recently discovered his homosexuality. And is only out to Buck and Christopher. Which means no one else in their lives knows. Both about Eddie's sexuality and about their recently updated relationship status. Buck feels a bit like he's going insane trying to hide it from everyone. All he wants is to sing Eddie's praises from every rooftop in LA. He wants to jump up and down and tell every person who looks his way that he's in love with Eddie Diaz. He's dating the love of his life! He has a perfect boyfriend!
or
5 times Buck tried to hide his and Eddie's relationship, and 1 time he failed to do so.

Summary
Eddie grew up around shit like this. He recognizes it, the subtle insinuation, the thing the sheriff is not-so-subtly dancing around. It's the idea that the spouse is always the first suspect, and he knows what he means when he talks about his wife's nickname for him in response to Eddie correcting him on Buck's name. He hears the invisible quotation marks around the word friend. He lived in Texas and spent enough time in the Army not to miss the comment about his wings. He just doesn't care anymore, because it doesn't matter.
Buck is hurt. He has to be, because he was in a car crash, and if Eddie is this sore and beaten up, then Buck has to be in a similar condition. And if he's not in the hospital, he's either on the side of the road alone and afraid, or someone took him.
And he's just so fucking tired of defending his heterosexuality, so he doesn't. Because who cares? Fuck that homophobic sheriff and this entire homophobic town. Eddie doesn't care what they think. All he cares about is getting out of this hospital and finding Buck. He knows he can't rest until he's got his fingers on Buck's pulse again.

Summary
When they cross paths, Cloud avoids him, making up excuses about courseloads and upcoming midterms. Sometimes, Zack simply wishes him well; other times, Zack’s eyes fall, just barely, and Cloud feels what he thinks could be heartbreak.
After the first week, he accepts that he’s gay. He had a crush on Kaison, that’s it. He starts to hang out with Zack again. His heart grows when Zack makes them breakfast, it stutters when Zack puts coffee in a tumbler for Cloud to take with him to his morning classes, mentioning Cloud’s stress over midterms last week.
A month after Cloud accepts he’s gay, he’s forced to admit he has a crush on Zack.
A week after that, he realizes he’s in love with him, and everything seems to fall apart.

Summary
Prince Cloud of Nibelheim has always been alone. His father died when he was young, and his mother cares for the kingdom more than anything else, leaving him by himself.
Ever since Cloud came of age, his mother has been trying to set him up with ladies from other kingdoms, wanting to find a future queen for Nibelheim. Cloud finds that he doesn’t want to find a queen, and so the prince makes a game of rejecting suitors, being harsh and bratty to every woman who approaches him. Though, Cloud knows one day he will have to quit his game and find a lady to rule at his side.
What's best for the kingdom that will one day be his own may not be what's best for him, and the handsome Prince of Gongaga forces Cloud to reconcile with that fact much sooner than he had intended to, but love and duty hardly ever agree, and Cloud must make a difficult decision between what his heart and his kingdom want. -

Summary
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.

Summary
"If Buck had stumbled upon Some Like it Hot a year ago, he would probably have either been arrested for loitering without buying anything or in massive credit card debt by now. As it stands, he’s been in enough in the last three months to get a double eyebrow raise from his accountant.
When Kevin had asked why Buck had spent the equivalent of a small country’s GDP at a random coffee shop at least five miles out of the way of the studio, his gym, or the homes of anyone he knows, Buck had said the coffee was just that good. Which wasn’t strictly a lie, if you only count the first time he’d gone in."

Summary
It’s almost like — like Buck’s holding a possible thing in his hands, fragile and fledgling, born too early. It’s not the first time he’s felt this way, with Eddie. It’s happened before, mostly in kitchens.
“Did that guy tell you the name of the suite he put us in?”
The corner of Eddie’s mouth lifts. There, Buck supposes, is his answer.
“Yeah. Honeymooners, huh? Should we tell him about our disaster of a trip?”
His stomach lurches. God. Eddie’s taking this in stride; Buck should be thankful for it. Instead, he’s afraid he’ll be sick all over their shoes.
or: a pining buck has to navigate the Emotional Saw Trap that is the road trip back from new mexico. eddie, quite literally, comes along for the ride.

Summary
Buck is confronted with the undeniable truth: Eddie Diaz, as it turns out, is beautiful both as a man and as a woman.
Fuck my life, Buck thinks faintly.
Unfortunately, his mild panic does not go unnoticed.
“You—you like me?” Eddie asks quietly, voice disbelieving. “Other me? Me as a woman?”
Buck turns wide, panicked eyes to Eddie. “No!”
“I know what your face looks like when you’re into someone, Buck,” Eddie says under his breath. “You’re—looking at her.”
“Politely. I’m polite,” Buck stresses. He bumps into the counter and comes to an abrupt stop. He realises only then, of course, that both Lady Eddie and Lady Buck are staring at him.
OR: Buck and Eddie crash the car. The universe, finally sick of their shit, kidnaps them.
OR: a totally, super-serious spec fic featuring inter-dimensional travel.
