Summary
After the kidnapping, Buck comes home alive, but not whole, because somewhere in that basement, the line between him and Derek dissolved, and now Buck can’t quite tell where he ends and where Derek begins anymore. Eddie is there to help him figure it out.
***
[How fucking crazy and pathetic is it? To be jealous of Derek? Derek who’s in a coma and likely won’t ever wake up.
(Evan’s mother never cut his sandwiches diagonally, she never put cold compresses on his forehead when he was sick, she never cradled his face between her hands when he was upset, she never-
She’d never kidnap someone else to impersonate her kid.
(No, God no, his mother would just make another kid to use as a donor for the kid she did want.)
(Spare parts, defective parts, love me anyway, an endless list of broken bones and the same bike that killed Derek.)
Christ.
His mother would never do what Bonnie did.
(Not for Evan, anyway.)] -

Summary
[“You’d fuck any stranger, if they only looked your way, wouldn’t you?” Eddie says.
(It’s how the game goes.)
“Don’t know, Eds.” He exhales, looking Eddie dead in the eyes. “She was pretty fucking good.”
Eddie scoffs, his fingers squeeze on Buck’s knee, and then higher, on his thigh.
“Maybe.” Eddie concedes. “Maybe she fucked you and made you come, but you didn’t like it, did you?”
“Eddie.”
“No one’s as good as me, is it, Buck? No one knows you like I do.”
“But you’re not jealous?”]
***
After Bobby’s death, Buck falls back into old habits he swore he’d outgrown. Eddie notices, and pretends he's not burning with a feeling he refuses to name.
But grief has a way of pulling at the cracks, and love has a way of making it worse. -
Tags
Summary
[He knows it doesn’t mean anything, and he knows there are rules, and he knows it’ll break his heart when Eddie finally gets tired of it, of him, and finds a nice girl to marry and settle down with. He knows all that and it’s fine.
It has to be fine.]
***
OR, after Eddie comes back from Texas, he and Buck begin a friends with benefits kind of relationship, and get a lot more in the process -
Tags
Summary
When Bobby dies, Buck doesn't quite know how to make sense of it. Eddie doesn't either. They try to survive by clinging to each other.
***
[He feels untethered, feverish, Eddie’s fingers a burning point on his skin, third degree burns. He doesn’t pull back, leaning in closer instead. Just a bit, the smallest of the movements, he craves the contact, always has, since he was four and begging his parents to look at him, it’s his oldest memory.
“Stay?” Eddie asks, and Buck feels it on his lips. “Just for tonight.”
“Yeah.” He breathes out in return. “Anything.” ] -

Summary
[When Eddie leaves it’s not grandiose or dramatic. Eddie hugs him and Buck hugs him back, of course.
He hides his face in the curve of Eddie’s neck and breathes in the scent of him, of pinewood and soap.
Eddie’s fingers dig in his back, and he prays they might leave marks behind, scratch Eddie’s signature right into his skin, prays they might leave bruises on his very bones, let him keep Eddie right here, in his arms, forever.
But eventually, gone as all good things do, Eddie pulls back. He smiles, and his eyes are a storm, warm honey clouded with lightning and thunder, and the only thing Buck can do is smile back. He’s never been good at goodbyes, he should be used to them. He isn’t.
And then, just like that, Eddie’s gone, taking with him half of Buck’s heart and all the oxygen in his lungs.]OR Eddie leaves, and Buck sinks and sinks and then, eventually, he remembers how to swim

Summary
Patrick's life, told through multiple scenes, from when he's a kid to when he ends up in New Rochelle, 2019.
***
[He misses them, all the time.
He misses Art when he has to sleep alone in shitty motel rooms, trying to pretend like the silence isn’t bothering him. He misses Tashi whenever he’s on the court, which is all the fucking time. He misses Art when something funny happens and he automatically turns to look at him, only to find the space consistently empty. He misses Tashi whenever he jerks off in his room, coming all over his hand and thinking of her.
He misses them both whenever he sees a couple kissing. He misses them both whenever he first steps in a hotel room that looks a bit too much like the hotel back in Flushing last summer.] -
Tags
Summary
Tennis’ a relationship, Tashi had said, all those years ago. He thinks that maybe he gets it now.
There’s no need for words, not now. Years of hurt and frustration poured on the field between them, each swing of their racket an insult and a confession, I miss you, I love you, I hate you, I wish you were dead, I wish we could go back, don’t leave, come back, stay.
***
Or, what happens after Patrick loses the match. -
