Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
He laid back down, staring up at the ceiling again. When he couldn’t fall asleep, he usually tried some 4-7-8 counting method that he learned ages ago. It often did the trick in a matter of minutes, 15 at most.
This was not one of those nights.
No matter what he did, how much he tossed and turned, he couldn’t stop his brain from thinking and overanalyzing.
What did they mean by that? ‘Just made sense,’ we don’t do everything together, we’re not—
Eddie shot up mid-thought.
“Oh. Oh god,” he said to no one....
some old family book inspires eddie to make a guide for getting his man.

Summary
There was something on both their minds, as it turned out. So when Will brought up the topic of the party and their family, Mike agreed completely with his fear.
They’re going to keep their relationship a secret so they can work things out themselves, and because they can’t afford for their relationship to get out. Not now, not while they’re only thirteen and living with their parents. No one will know, not until they’re older and can handle the problems that come with having a relationship like theirs.
No one is going to find out.
or;
Mike and Will start a relationship, its not like their friends are attentive enough to every pick up on it.
Or are they?

Summary
Will steps into the woods. Birds chirp around him, and squirrels run up the trees. It's been six months since Vecna was finally defeated, and now everyone is finally beginning to settle. Everyone except for Will. He can't seem to get out of fight or flight mode, and everything's been wrong. His body feels off, heavy and achy, while his concentration is shot. No one noticed when he stopped showing up to things, stopped answering his radio. El will chatter every night about what her and Mike were up to that day.
And it seems to take all of Dustin's energy to keep moving, and to show up himself. Lucas is with Max, and no one noticed when Will started to fade into the background. He knew if he stopped trying, this is what would happen. He knew as soon as he had to beg for their attention. It's ok though, he's always known his place. And now it's fine for him to step back, and let them all breathe without him. Every morning he takes another walk like this one, trying to chase away the ache in his joints that make it hard to move. Part of him knows that he should say something, that this isn't normal pain.
That something is seriously wrong, but he can't bring himself to.

Summary
He came to understand pretty quickly what you probably never did as a kid: that sleepovers were fun because you got to go home at the end of them. The excitement lay in the contrast. If there was no contrast, no home to go to, then pretty soon you were just lying on someone else’s floor. Living in their space. Having to fit your life around theirs.

Summary
"It's fine, Jee," Eddie says. "Buck doesn't have to kiss me."
"Yes he does." Jee crosses her arms and looks sternly at Buck. "Daddy and Mommy kiss every time when they go away from each other."
"Yeah, okay." Buck sucks in a breath and steps towards Eddie. He ducks his head down and presses the most fleeting kiss to Eddie's cheek.
"Not like that," Jee scolds.
"What? Why not?" Buck squawks.
"Because," she sighs and gives him a long, disapproving look. "Mommy and Daddy always kiss on the lips."

“You really like him, don’t you?” Eddie asks, a tired smile still plastered on his face.
“Yes,” Christopher nods “I like Mr.Buck very much, and you too.” He giggles.
“Oh, you like me very much too?”
“No, you like Mr.Buck too.”
“I like Mr.Buck?” Eddie laughs, confused.
“Yes, you asked him on a date” Christopher explains as if it was obvious, silly daddy.
“I… I asked him on a date?” Eddie asks, still very confused.
“You did Dad, just now.”

Summary
Everything else fell away, just Buck’s dominating presence rooting Eddie to the floor. They locked eyes, and Buck didn’t look away.
“So, come up to the lab,” he smirked. “And see what’s on the slab.” Eddie’s legs turned to jello. “I see you shiver with antici—”
Eddie stopped breathing.
Buck’s winked, staring right into Eddie’s soul, “—pation.”

OR: What's the perfect time to have a sexuality crisis? Not when you're trying to fix your real-life marriage by playing an on-stage couple with your wife. And definitely not when your new costar is sex on legs playing a character that's temptation personified. And especially not when that costar hates your guts. Too bad for Eddie that at Theater 118, there's nothing he can do except let madness take its toll.

Summary
He feels like shit when he's hungry, and he plays better when he's empty. The cold air doesn't touch him as much. The floodlights turn silvery-soft.
And he likes eating. Keeps his hands busy, mouth busy, mind busy. Something to chew through, putty in the ears.
Go until he can't anymore. Cycle it back out. Be ready.--

Summary
“I thought you were staying with Eddie,” she says. He looks soggy. There’s really no other way to describe it. “Why do you need to live in my apartment?”
“I was,” he says, and she expects him to elaborate on what’s changed, but he doesn’t. It’s not the first time she’s wondered what’s going on there, but she always felt it was none of her business. It isn’t her business. Which is why half of said business should not be standing in her kitchen right now, looking like a gigantic lost puppy.Buck needs a place to live. Athena has a room.

Summary
Without waiting for a reaction or reply, the man bore down on the gas and peeled down the highway, leaving Buck stranded in the middle of nowhere somewhere along Interstate 10.
And as Buck watched the red brake lights of his Jeep disappear into the distance, clutching his prescription of blood thinners tightly to his chest... there was really only one thing left to do. Tilting his head back until he was staring at the stars, he took a deep breath and screamed into the night:
“Fuck!”
And much like every other one of his recent cries for help, it had gone unanswered.

Buck gets carjacked, held at gunpoint, and stranded in Arizona the day before his first shift post-lawsuit. And that's only the beginning of his troubles.

Summary
After deciding to sue the department, Buck finds out he has a daughter that he didn't know about. Getting her in his care, he needs to learn how to be the dad she deserves while fighting to get his job back, mending relationships, and navigating the realization that his best friend might mean more to him than what he's been thinking this whole time.
Basically it's girl dad Buck with slowburn Buddie
(Ps I mainly chose lawsuit era so that the kids could be closer in age 🤷🏻 if you don't like lawsuit era fics I swear that it's not super relevant past a certain point in the fic. It's very buddie heavy and cute and silly for the most part)

Summary
Eddie Diaz has a secret. Not the “in love with Buck” one (though, sure, that’s festering too). No, this one comes with fur, whiskers, and an unsettling eagerness to use his shifted form for petty psychological warfare.
Because Buck? He’s afraid of cats. Something about “the staring” and “they’re plotting to steal my soul”. Eddie, being the picture of maturity, reacts by shifting into a cat and showing up everywhere. Buck’s door. The firehouse. His balcony. In his laundry. Just…watching.
Eddie is thriving. Chris is an evil mastermind. And Buck spirals, convinced the cat is haunting him, gifting him presents, and slowly gnawing at his sanity. This is not a pet-owner dynamic. This is a hostage situation with emotional manipulation from a four-legged gremlin.
Everything’s flawless - until Eddie accidentally unleashes the nightmare that is cat-dad Buck. Then forgets he’s not supposed to be naked in Buck’s apartment. At least, not like that.
Oops.

“No!” Buck replies. “She’s a preschooler!”OR: At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?
