    Summary

    “This isn’t my life!” Buck exclaims. “This is not how it’s supposed to be. Abby is supposed to be gone. She’s supposed to have left. As in, left Los Angeles, not left me to marry Bobby. Bobby’s supposed to marry Athena.”

    “Cap and Athena? But she’s—”

    “Married. Yeah,” Buck huffs. “Like I said, that doesn’t work out.”

    “Because Real Michael is gay?” Eddie asks skeptically.

    “Real Michael is gay,” Buck confirms.

    OR: After his break up with Tommy, Buck falls asleep on Eddie’s couch and wakes up in a world where Bobby is married to Abby, Hen and Karen are divorced, Athena and Michael are faking a happy marriage, Chim has a daughter that is not Buck's niece, and—just to really, personally fuck with him—Eddie and Maddie are engaged to be married.

    Summary

    This summer has had some subversive effects on his very definition of what it means to want.

    He’s always been good at not wanting too much or too recklessly. But these days, it seems like he’s insatiable, wrought with hunger and pillaging to consume.

    Maybe it's because this kind of wanting feels offensive—something he thought he’d snuffed out decades ago, made benign.

    He’s always been so good at beating it down, down, down into submission whenever it reared its ugly head; he had a handle on it.

    Now, it’s all gone to shit.

    or; Buck and Eddie have sex, Eddie freaks out. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    Summary

    “Would you date me if I was a girl?”

    Eddie's question surprises them both, air between them full of breath-held tension before Buck scoffs, eyebrows furrowing but mouth curling into a toothy smile. 

    “Dude, I would date you right now,” he answers easily, not really stopping to consider the other options. Then, he volleys back, “Would you date me if I was a girl?

    Eddie raises his eyes to Buck’s high, dark ceiling and does actually think about it for a lengthy moment, turning the concept over in his hands like a Rubik's cube. He tries to imagine Buck as a woman, dirty blond curls framing his face, muscular build, same baby blue eyes and the pink birthmark. Not much would change in the end and Eddie already likes all the parts of Buck he knows now. 

    “Yeah, Buck, I would.”

    Buck smiles wider at that, clearly pleased, and buries a yawn in his pillow. His fingers go a little slack as their interconnected hands rest between them, clearly inching further towards sleep. “Maybe you should,” he mumbles.

     

    or: Buck and Eddie sleep together platonically through the years of their friendship, unaware they're falling in love.

    Summary

    In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker.

    Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.

    -

    Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

    Summary

    She shakes her head. “I don’t want to play princesses anymore,” she says.

    Eddie feels his stomach churn. Why does that bother him? He should be happy. He’s terrible at this game. He’s always been bad at playing pretend. It’s never been fun for him.

    So why, he wonders, does the idea of going back to Normal Eddie feel like such a task?

    He swallows. “What if I want to keep being Princess Eddie?” he whispers.

    Eddie plays princesses with Jee. It breaks him.
