    Summary

    Based on the preview for 7x05 : Buck goes on his first date with a man, Tommy is a gentleman, and Eddie is dumb as rocks for this one but we love him for it.

    Snippet :
    I’m pathetic… Buck took off his jacket and sat on his bed, exhaling a huff in desperation. He took his head in his hands, wondering how he did it so effortlessly before. Was it really that different, now that it was a man? Should it be?

    It certainly felt different, but different how? Going back to that night, that moment in his kitchen, Buck tried putting words to the memory. He remembered how Tommy’s eyes burned on him just moments before they kissed, how Tommy’s fingers seared him under his chin, how firm Tommy’s arm felt under the palm of his hand. He also remembered how pliant he had felt after Tommy had kissed him, how gooey it turned his insides, how out of it it made him.

    Fingers slowly drifted to his lips as Buck remembered the moment that turned his life completely upside down and sat him on his ass hard. He had a word for it now, that feeling: desired.
    He wanted to feel like that again.

    Summary

    “Why are you the way you are?” he asks and Buck freezes in his movements. Eddie sounds serious — like he’s genuinely upset. With Buck?

    “What, um,” Buck tries, clearing his throat awkwardly, a sinking feeling growing in his gut. “What do you mean?”

    “‘s fucking annoying,” Eddie slurs, rolling his eyes again and leaning back to look at the ceiling as if it’s something interesting. “”’nd exhausting.”

    Buck’s heart drops, remembering Eddie’s words in the grocery store all those years ago. Eddie just yawns and closes his eyes with a sigh.

    “D’you know how exhausting it is to be around you?”

    Or: Eddie is annoyed with Buck for being so very kissable but his drunk self isn't the best at phrasing things.

    Summary

    “Is that what the problem is?” Eddie asks, slightly too abruptly. “The shooting? Because I don’t know how many times I have to tell people that I’m fine. I don’t even think about it anymore.”

    “Eddie-”

    “Like, it makes sense that Ana doesn’t believe me, because she’s not used to me yet, but you should know better. You’re such a worrier, Buck. Don’t you think you would’ve noticed if I was horribly traumatised by the whole thing?”

    He has no idea what the fuck he’s supposed to say about it.

    How do you tell your best friend that him not being traumatised is what’s slowly killing you?

    OR

    Eddie is the one who gets shot. Buck is the one who has no idea how to live with it.

    Summary

    People don't really touch Jonathan Sims unless they want to hurt him. That's mostly fine. Jon has never been a tactile person, and he doesn't need anyone but himself.

    Except the world is falling down around him, and loneliness aches, and sometimes he'll take anything - even cruelty - just to feel human again.

    *A story set between s1 and s4, looking at Jon's relationship with touch, friendship, and his own humanity.

    Summary

    They still haven't talked about it, any of it, not even to pass the time on the long train ride to Scotland. Instead, Martin fell asleep in the seat next to him, pressed into his side from shoulder to knee, and Jon thought about love confessions and verb tense and how the two fit together when you think you're dying.

    or: Good cows, mediocre poetry, and other crucial topics of discussion.
