Summary
“And so maybe you’re — you’re kind of like a penguin, you know? And I always liked penguins — they’re great, right? Who doesn’t like penguins? — but that was never me. I was something else. Like a cheetah, maybe. Do you — do you get what I’m saying?”
And Buck…
Buck absolutely does not get when Eddie’s saying.
But now Eddie’s looking at him with these imploring eyes — golden brown and gleaming — and Buck doesn’t want to do anything to disrupt this groove he’s in, not when he’s talking about what he wants, about things that make him happy.
So, “Yeah,” he says, and when Eddie smiles again, all relief, he knows it’s the right call.
Or: Eddie comes out to Buck; Buck thinks he wants to go to the zoo.

Summary
He starts by checking his Bantr profile again, taking in the new username in bold across the top of the screen. He messes around with the settings, adjusting the distance radius to just his part of LA and switching to dark mode. He rereads his bio:
he/him 32
Looking for friends and fun conversations!Short and sweet. Honest.
OR
Buck and Eddie are convinced to join Bantr-a new, anonymous chat app-by Ravi. They both meet a person who they feel an immediate connection with.
Those strangers? Eddie and Buck.
——
I watched You’ve Got Mail again and then was possessed by Buddie and Bantr. You do not need to have seen Ted Lasso OR You’ve Got Mail to understand what’s happening here. Just know that it’s a story where two people who know each other in real life meet each other again as online strangers. They fall in love both irl and online and then live happily ever after.
This is also Sitcom 911, not Procedural Drama 911. Everyone is funny and snarky and a bit out of character, and we happen to avoid all near-death experiences.

Summary
Think, Buckley, think, he scolded himself, trying to focus on figuring out what was wrong. Dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, chesty coughing, exhaustion. Someone had to know what was wrong. He glanced around but his vision was fuzzy, so he slowly grasped about for his phone until he was able to grab it from where he’d dropped it. Through blurry eyes he fumbled to unlock his phone and struggled to find his contacts. Eddie would know. Or Bobby. They’d know why Buck felt like he was drowning.
…Drowning.
Drowning.
He was drowning.-----
After the tsunami, Buck goes home alone when he shouldn't have and he starts to suffer from secondary drowning, an excess of water in the lungs. He stops breathing before Eddie finds him. Will he make it out unscathed?

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)
