Summary
“Jesus Christ! Are you naked right now?”
Buck’s face rapidly appears on the screen again, looking sheepish. “Yeah, sorry about that, I forgot.”
“You forgot?” Eddie asks, bewildered. Not only can he say he’s never been unaware of his own nakedness, but more importantly, they’ve been face-timing for at least ten minutes now, before Buck’s phone had slipped and Eddie had gotten, well—an eyeful. Eddie can’t wrap his head around it, that Buck’s been talking to him like normal, all while his dick’s been out? “You—you called me.”

Summary
He hears a knock on the door just after eight. Eddie does one final check in the mirror, fixing his hair, then takes a deep breath. He opens the door and nearly stumbles when he realized it’s not just Jade on his front porch.
Zane—Buck’s Zane, Jade’s brother—is standing just behind her, making direct eye contact with Eddie, a friendly grin on his face. “Uh, Hi?” Eddie says, not bothering to hide his confusion.

Or, a 907 au where Buck does get Jade's number for Eddie. It spirals a bit from there. -

Summary
Eddie takes a deep breath, standing outside Pot Luck Studio, working up the nerve to go in. He’s just about to reach for the handle when someone beats him to it. Someone familiar.
“Uh, Maddie?”
“Eddie, oh my God!” Maddie recovers from the shock quickly, pulling him into a quick hug. “What are you doing here?” She looks past him, as if expecting to see someone else, maybe Buck, or even Hen. But of course it’s just him, that was the whole point.

Or, Maddie and Eddie take a pottery class.

Summary
Buck stumbles over, dizzy and nauseous. He doesn't know if he can even blame the hangover anymore. He picks up the paper with shaky hands. State of Nevada Marriage Certificate.
This is to certify that the undersigned Rev. Matthew Johnson did on the 11th day of the month of March of the year 2026, join in lawful wedlock Evan Buckley and Ravi Panikkar.
Buck drops the paper like it’s burned him.

Summary
Buck is restless. He’s put on a documentary about butterfly migrations, but he hasn’t taken in a single second of it. His mind is elsewhere. Across town, in some stupid hotel bar. Or maybe, by now, up in the room. He doesn’t exactly know the timeline for it. It’s the first time they’ve done this.

Or, Eddie gets fucked, then comes home to his boyfriend.

Summary
Eddie wakes up with someone’s arms wrapped around him. Which is very concerning because he went to bed alone last night, like he’s done every night for over a year now.
He scrambles out of the bed, completely ungracefully, landing flat on his ass in a room that is unmistakably not his own. His heart hammers in his chest as he tries to make sense of it all in his just woken state. He peers over the mattress, to the person that was holding him, and he’s pretty sure his heart gives out all together.
“Maddie?”
She yawns from the bed, not opening her eyes, curling further into the pillow. “It’s too early, Howie, the alarm hasn’t gone off yet.”
*
Or, Eddie and Chimney accidentally swap bodies.

Summary
“This is a stupid question, but… where exactly is Voyageurs? Jesus, I don't even know where we’re flying to.”
He’s expecting Buck to laugh. To gently tease him over how unobservant or trusting Eddie is when it comes to Buck, but instead, he pales. “Oh, um,” Buck stutters out, looking away. “Did we not talk about that?”

Summary
“It is,” Buck breathes, relieved. “It’s so normal. We just don’t talk about it! But it’s fine, we all do it.”
Eddie nods along enthusiastically, smile plastered on his face. “Exactly. We all do it. And—” Eddie pauses, smile growing even bigger. “And why don’t you just use mine.”

Summary
“Oh my God…” Buck breathes, sitting back in his seat, almost horrified. “You’re—You’re into him.”

Summary
"Buck, are you single?"
Eddie snorts, leaning back in his chair. "Pepa, don't start."
She swats him lightly on the shoulder. "Oh, Eddie, hush. I'm just curious," she says, a picture of innocence before she turns back to Buck with a raised eyebrow. "Well?"

Summary
Eddie snaps the picture, and sends it to Buck without thought.
New neighbour stopped by to welcome me
Eddie had been drinking his coffee, sitting outside on his back porch, trying not to get overwhelmed at all the shit he still had to do at his new place. The bird, a sweet little thing with a yellow face, was a nice distraction, flitting around, probably looking for food through the overgrown garden. It doesn’t take more than three minutes before his phone buzzes with Buck’s response.

Summary
“What year do you think it is?”
“I’m trying to ask you that.” Eddie is starting to get genuinely concerned. There are no visual signs of anything wrong, at least, Buck’s eyes look normal, if not very worried, patiently waiting for Eddie to answer him. “Christ. It’s 2024. September.”
“Oh, Eddie…” Buck sighs, frowning. “It’s November 2025. Fuck I… I think this is my fault.”
“What?”
“Last night I told you I thought the mustache was sexy, and now I wake up with Mustache Eddie from a year ago? That’s not a coincidence.”
Eddie blinks. Buck is saying words, but none of them make any sense. “What the hell are you talking about?”

Summary
“My best friend almost died.” Eddie says, every word feeling heavy in his mouth. “And then he confessed his love for me.”
“Is that a bad thing?”
Eddie laughs, something hysterical bubbling up in him. ”It’s—I don’t even know.”
“So, what's the problem? Oh no,” he winces, “Is he ugly?”
“I'm straight.”
That gets him a look. “Honey, you know you’re in a gay bar right?"

Summary
“Is that what you’ve been up to while I've been gone?”
There’s no judgement, just curiosity in his voice. But for some reason Buck still finds himself saying: “No. Just a movie I was watching. Had me thinking about Buck 1.0.”
He doesn't know why he lied. But he doesn’t know how to say, ‘I exchanged blowjobs with a stranger forty-five minutes ago’, and have it not matter. Have it not change the tone of the conversation. He doesn’t want to put it into words that that’s what he did and then right after he called Eddie. It feels like something he shouldn’t admit to.

Summary
Buck drops the binder onto the kitchen table with an impressive thud. The front is labeled TAX STUFF, 2011-2018 in simple block letters.
“You came over to do…secret taxes? In the middle of October?”
“Oh, no, that’s—that’s a misdirect. I keep it hidden but just in case anyone’s snooping. Eddie hates doing taxes, and Christopher would think it’s boring adult stuff.” He opens the binder and flips past the first 3 pages which are actual old tax slips to keep up the hoax. He turns it around to show Maddie the page he was looking for:

Summary
“Apparently I stole his very special mug,” Eddie says, not bothering to hide the sarcasm. “I know you guys keep saying he’s all bark, Buck’s a real sweetheart, but I'm starting to worry you all just have terrible judge of character,” Eddie half-jokes. He sighs, rubbing at his eyes. “What the hell is his problem?”
“Full moon tonight,” Chimney says with a smirk, chewing his gum like he’s proud of himself for that joke.
