"I love you, Eddie."
"And I love you too, man."
"No." Buck’s voice trembled slightly. "You don’t get it. I’m in love with you."
Eddie blinked, as if Buck had just spoken a foreign language. "You… what?"
"I love you," Buck repeated, quieter this time.
"That… but. What the… Why are you telling me this?"or: Buck confesses, Eddie panics, and everything hurts until it doesn’t.

Summary
It hadn’t made the right sound.
Buck had always thought it’d be a SHINK, or maybe a SQUELCH. Either cutting and sharp, or imprecise and sloppy. But no. He’d been wrong. Very, very wrong.
It had been quick. Abrupt. Something muffled and blunt that no amount of movies or video games or his own imagination could ever prepare him for. Not for that. Not for the real thing.
THWACK.
It hadn’t made the right sound.
---
Buck kills someone to save Eddie on a call. He’s fine until he’s not.

Summary
The sight of a small figure gently stroking Harry’s hair had him freezing in his tracks. His wand was out at once.
“Stop!” He barked, fear making his voice tight; enormous, watery blue eyes turned to peer at him, and he lowered his wand a little. A shuddering breath escaped him. He swallowed, “Hello, Dobby.”
“Hello, Draco Malfoy,” Dobby said mournfully, turning to look back at Harry and stroke his hair, “We is needing to get Harry Potter into a proper bed.”—
It had been a mistake, but it was easily the worst one of Draco’s life. He might never be able to atone for it, but trying to started with this: keeping an unconscious Harry safe and protected from the outside world at Spinners End. Snape had warned him that after what had happened, Harry might never wake, and that if he did, he wouldn’t be the same. It didn’t matter to Draco though. He would stay till the end, no matter what that end might be.

Summary
As the guys started heading back onto the field, Eddie lagged behind. Part of him wanted to head back out. Throw a few more. Work on his accuracy. But, Coach had said to ice his shoulder, and he followed rules to the letter…at least on the field.
When he rounded the corner toward the small athletic training room, the cool air from inside hit him like a wave…and there he was.
Evan Buckley, officially part of the athletic training staff, unofficially Eddie Diaz’s favorite member of the training staff.
Buck was a Sophomore, one of the student trainers assigned to baseball. He’d said something once about studying sports medicine, wanting to work with pro athletes someday. He didn’t act intimidated by the players like some of the other trainers did…didn’t treat Eddie like some kind of celebrity. It was…refreshing. Eddie hadn’t meant to notice him every time he came in…honestly, he tried not to…but something about the way Buck moved, calm and confident, made it hard to look away.
Or, Eddie Díaz has the perfect life laid out for him: star pitcher, bright future, endless expectations. Off the field, though, it starts to crack when he’s drawn to Buck…the one person who refuses to play along.

Summary
Harry Potter collapsed at the end of the war. He was living in a rundown house with no running water, surrounded by rubbish. That was, until Hermione came and dragged him out by the ear and reminded him he was still alive. That there was life after Voldemort. And he couldn’t live in a house without a working toilet. If he wasn’t going to hire someone, he’d have to sort it out himself. So he stepped into the world of magical plumbing and remembered a school trip to a water treatment plant when he was nine. He fell in love with the intricacies of pipes and water systems. And really, how much could go wrong sticking your wand in places it really ought not to be?
Or a story in which Kreacher eats crisps, Harry blows up toilets, Hermione takes an unplanned trip, and a whole lot of things become Draco’s problem.

Summary
“I need you-“ Chris made a face as his shoulders twitched. “I want you too say something that makes it sound like I’m in, like, danger. Nothing too crazy! But, enough that it’ll spook him. Them.”
Chris had been seeing Dr. Azeez for a few years now. The man was used to Chris coming in, dropping some awful lore on him, and dipping. Chris liked to think it made their relationship stronger.
“And why,” Dr. Azeez pushed his glasses up his nose. “ in the world would I do that?”
“Because I’m a really good patient.”
“No.”
“Because you believe in the power of love and friendship.”
“No.”
“Because my dad is gay and his best friend is half-ly and they're both in love with each other and I have a mom whose dead and I recently learned that blood doesn’t matter?”
Dr.Azeez jolted. “Oh my.”
___
Or
From Texas to California, all Christopher Diaz ever wanted was all his parents under the same roof.
Maybe if he told his doctor his life story, the man would help Chris make his wish come true.

Summary
Buck, 27
FirefighterWhat made me apply for Love is Blind? Uh, well, it's been a couple of months since my last serious relationship ended. Which was also my first serious relationship. But I feel like I'm ready for a real commitment. That, and one of my coworkers made me apply, so if this all goes wrong, blame Chimney.
Eddie, 28
FirefighterMy sisters actually applied for me. They said it wouldn't be like other dating shows, that's its meant to be like a science experiment. My wife- sorry, my ex-wife, still getting used to it, divorced me fairly recently. I want to get back in the dating pool, but it's hard when you're a single dad. I'd like to find a real connection, and somehow this seems preferable to having my tía set me up on dates with her friends’ daughters.

Buck and Eddie meet on Love is Blind, and find themselves more drawn to each other than the women they're supposed to be falling in love with.Bookmarked by PrettyAwkwardRandom
