    Summary

    For wishbabies, there’s a difference between want and love. Buck knows being wanted. He doesn’t know being loved. Maybe, between the two of them, they can reach a middle ground. Buck can love her, and Eddie can want her, and that will be enough.

    Buck and Eddie end up with a wishbaby. It strikes a nerve, but Buck’s always been good at pretending.

    Summary

    It’s tucked into the back corner, like it doesn’t want to be found. A dollhouse. Big. Wide. Victorian-style. The front is swung open like a book, revealing nine narrow rooms in various stages of disrepair.

    Buck crouches, slow and careful, his fingers brushing the floorboards. The wood is smooth, worn in a way that doesn’t make sense. Like they have been walked on over and over again by feet too small to leave a mark.

    He’s still looking when a voice breaks in behind him.

    “She comes with a box of blanks.”

    -

    Or: It was just supposed to be a gift for Jee’s birthday. But then the dollhouse came to life, and one small, fragile version of Eddie chose him, in all the ways the real one never did. (This is part of a collection of standalone stories where the houses are never just houses.)

    Summary

    He turns around. Eddie is watching him, his eyes glittering, an odd set to his jaw.

    "Unless you do want me to walk you through it," Buck says, and there's something in it, some dangerous impulse he can't define that makes it come out not at all like the joke he meant it to be. Standing here in the entryway of the house that's Eddie's house again, in the spot where he dragged Tommy through the door, clumsily attached at the mouth, kicking it carelessly shut behind him. Keys rattling, and the simple animal comfort of someone's eager hands on him. The empty house, barely unpacked, briefly less empty.

    Summary

    He knew, somehow, that it’s been Eddie this entire time. Buck would only trust one person to touch him like that, and it’s Eddie. His body is frozen, but he wouldn’t move anyway. Eddie holds the scalpel, the blade hovering over Buck’s skin, and he pauses. The knife stills, waiting, as he asks, “Are you ready?”

    Buck prefers when he had normal nightmares, about being trapped under a truck or drowning or losing the people he loved, rather than undergoing surgery in his dreams.

    Summary

    "Look who's talking. Come on, it's just me," Buck says, like that's an argument or something, and it must work, because when he leans across to push play, Eddie doesn't stop him.

    Or: Buck walks in on Eddie watching porn. It escalates from there.
