Summary
“Mr. Buckley?” A crisp voice, professional and bright. “This is Sara from Hormel Foods. We’d like to discuss licensing your resealable bacon packaging patent.”
Buck blinked. He was halfway between the sink and the counter, holding an only-mostly-clean dish towel in one hand like a flag of truce. His brain did a little stutter-step, then fell directly through a trapdoor.
“My what?”
“Your patent,” Sara said smoothly, as if this conversation happened every day (maybe it did, in her world). “Approved three weeks ago.”
“Approved,” he repeated, like a child testing a new word. The towel slipped out of his fingers and landed on the floor with a soft thud. “My patent is… approved?”
“Yes,” she said, still crisp. “Mr. Buckley, do you have a few minutes? Our legal team is prepared to make an offer for licensing rights in select categories. We—”
OR
Buck becomes a multimillionaire overnight thanks to ADHD and spite because he really really really hates not resealable bacon packaging

Summary
Eight years after the war, Harry is an auror, and he is a drunk. An ordinary stop at Malfoy Manor, to dismiss Draco from his probation, reveals a disturbing secret: Draco has obliviated himself, and he has no memory of who he is.
Harry becomes determined to fix him, and together they help untangle each other from the years of trauma and grief.
“It was his birthday yesterday. I got him a pair of Gouldian finches—he was so excited. You know, he used to hate birds? The peacocks terrified him when he was small.” Narcissa sniffled and turned back to Harry. “Twenty-six years old … and he can’t be left alone for ten minutes.”“What happened to him?”
Narcissa took a sip of her tea; she pursed her lips and blew on the cup’s steaming surface.
“Draco tried to obliviate himself, Harry—last year on Christmas.”

Summary
After he's satisfied with the videos on his phone he looks at Eddie, "So, besides you being bad at tiktok and having the cutest kid on the planet—who is absolutely welcome in the studio any time, by the way—is there anything else I should know before we become dance partners?"
Maybe it's the cocky grin on Buck's face or the way Eddie can feel the start of something in his gut when he looks at Buck, but either way he says, "I don't do showmances. We're going to win this season, but I'm not getting votes by making doe eyes at you and leaking rumors to the press."
"What if they're not rumors?" Buck waggles his eyebrows.

Summary
In an effort to make Buck stay, Eddie has him blacklisted by every landlord in Los Angeles.
---
The first time it happens, Eddie doesn’t know what comes over him. It’s like he’s possessed.
His phone rings while he’s folding laundry, pairing together two of Buck’s dog-themed socks when he answers and hears, “Hi, is this Eddie Diaz?”
“Yes,” he responds.
“Hi, this is Claire Thornton with Thornton & Duncan Realty, I’m calling for a reference for Mr. Evan Buckley? He’s applied to one of our properties recently, so we’re reaching out before approval,” the woman on the other end of the line says.
Eddie’s stomach drops. Then the possession happens. “Oh, uh. Evan Buckley. Right.”
Claire chuckles. “That doesn’t sound like a great start.”
“I- listen. He’s a good guy, but an awful tenant,” Eddie feels like he’s watching himself from outside his body as the words leave his mouth. What is he doing?

There was a knock on the front door. Dean groaned, but went to answer it.
Castiel stood on his porch, holding out a store-bought pie. “I don’t cook.”
“Okay?”
“Everybody coordinated to bring you something, since we weren’t sure if you were going to be able to feed yourself when you got home. I don’t know if you saw that there were a few dishes in your fridge.”
“Everybody?”
“Well, everybody except me because I don’t cook.”

“Hello,” he said. “Why is no one dancing?” He asked it pleasantly, because Genevieve said it was good to ask things pleasantly.
The girl whose name might have been Mimi furrowed her eyebrows at him. “What?” she asked.
Tobias felt a flare of irritation in his chest, and reluctantly removed his headphones because her voice was much too quiet to hear over the muffle in his ears— in a studio, no less.

Summary
Little glimpses. That’s what dating Tobias was like. You would get little glimpses of fact, of background, little hints into what made him tick, what made him work. In the beginning it was a glimpse of French, but not enough to hold a conversation for more than a minute. Once during a rather explosive rehearsal, he learned Tobias didn’t like the rain, but loved thunderstorms. Another time when they ordered takeout for a night in, he learned Tobias became a vegetarian at age eleven because he didn’t want to eat the meatloaf that his grandmother made. When discussing the no-named goldfish at his apartment, he learned that Tobias always wanted a cat, he had some growing up, but he traveled too often now to keep one. A different, awful time he found a wedding invitation open on Tobias’s laptop and he learned that Tobias had an ex named Kevin who was getting married at the end of June.
