    Summary

    It starts as a routine. Steve drives past all their houses, just to make sure they're home. And then it's not so easy to sleep any more without checking and rechecking.

    Eddie catches him out. 

    (a story about healing in small parts with someone who understands, about the give and take, the sharing and the listening - and maybe falling a little bit in love along the way)

    Summary

    “And, um, how long have you been in love with me?”

    “Honestly? Probably for years.”

    Years, he watches Buck mouth the word. His eyes slip past Eddie, his expression turning slightly dazed as he tries to process this new information.

    “But I only realized it now.”

    Buck’s eyes flick back to him, eyebrows shooting up in surprise. “Now?”

    “Yeah, like, right now.” He looks down at the watch on his wrist, cocking his head back and forth. “About five minutes ago, give or take.”

    “You realized you’re in love with me while watching me wipe chocolate off Theo’s face?” Buck huffs out a laugh, looking down at the now dirty wet wipe still clutched in his hands in disbelief.

    Or, Eddie realizes he's in love with Buck on a Wednesday afternoon. This is how that goes.

    Summary

    The plot to free the king is afoot and a certain ledger they need is rumoured to be in the grandest palace in all of Prague. Hans and Henry get tasked with retrieving it, disguised as two of the invited nobles.

    Hans' noble has a scandalous reputation to uphold and Henry couldn't possibly be faulted for getting terribly distracted by it.

    But something strange keeps happening when the clock strikes midnight and it's up to Henry to figure out what.

    And use it to its fullest.

    Summary

    After the noose, something changes.

    “Jesus,” Hans says, incredulity finally snapping his control in two, “what has gotten into you?”

    Henry’s head jerks back. “What?”

    “You!” Hans says, waving his hands as if to encompass all of Henry. “Why are you being so...” Hans clicks his teeth together. The words jumble and flutter in his head: subservient, obedient, coolheaded, patient, forgiving, why did you stick around even when I told you to go?

    “Kind,” Hans finally settles on, weakly.

    Summary

    “What—”

    Buck cuts his own words off with another shuddering gasp as Eddie suddenly pulls him in. He’s compelled to allow Eddie to guide him, complete putty under his control. There’s nowhere else he’d rather be.

    “Weirdo,” is all he hears Eddie mutter fondly under his breath before his lips meet Buck’s.

    It lasts a split second, way too short for Buck to even count the milliseconds, but somehow still, it’s life-changing. A short pressing of lips, breaths exchanged through mouths, and the feeling of knowing this is it. Buck’s ruined for anyone else forever now. No other lips will ever hold a crown to Eddie’s chapped and tequila-tainted ones.

    OR: Eddie drunk-kisses Buck twice, and throws up three times.
