    Summary

    “I’m not usually this insane,” Eddie claimed, which was not Evan’s impression in this exact moment. “I’m usually—” he laughed, incredulous at himself, “I’m usually so fucking uptight. I eat and sleep and go to three god-awful jobs across town from each other and take care of my kid and argue with my parents and I never fucking do anything. Evan,” Eddie paused, cupping his face in his hands delicately, “I like you. This was fun, sure, but I…”

    Eddie kissed him again, softer and wetter, running his tongue over the seam of Evan’s lips. Evan melted. When Eddie spoke again, he melted even further, practically a puddle at his feet. “I like you. And maybe this is just all in my head and you’re thinking I’m an absolute freak and can’t wait to get out of here but—”

    “But maybe I like you, too,” Evan interjected.

    Eddie smiled. Radiant. “Yeah?”

    Alternate universe where Eddie and Shannon get divorced in the midst of his first tour. Buck is the first man Eddie picks up after realizing he's gay and he just... never puts him down again.

    Summary

    “But with Bobby, I’ve been trying to do better,” Eddie says.

    A hand rests on his shoulder, a thumb stroking. It’s a familiar gesture, but the fingers aren’t calloused enough to be her brother’s. Maddie’s fingers are slimmer, more delicate. It eases the hurt all the same.

    “I think you have been,” Maddie reassures him, “at least you’re not joining illegal fight clubs this time. Just very legal book clubs.”

    Eddie snorts. The callout was unexpected.

    “You’re not what?” Karen’s eyes bulge out of her head as she sits back down.

    Eddie chuckles and finally meets Maddie’s gaze. “I hate that Buck tells you everything.”

    OR: Eddie joins a book club with Maddie and Karen after Bobby’s death, while Buck slowly drifts away.

    Summary

    Here's the deal, though: Eddie is straight. Blatantly straight. His co-workers from the 106 know this. He's had girlfriends! Although, yes, he has to admit none of them has lasted very long. It's true. Eddie's schedule (and his life in general, and his little quirks, and more things he can’t think about) make it difficult. Sure, more than once someone has joked he might be a bit into men. But they are that. Jokes. Between straight men.

    Summary

    Bobby lives—barely—and the city exhales, but the aftermath leaves fault lines.
    Eddie is back from El Paso and finally telling the truth in therapy, Buck wearing out the seams of Eddie’s couch while “apartment hunting” becomes a way to survive wanting.
    One rooftop, one half-heard statement, and the distance between them turns into something that hurts to look at.
    Pepa pushes, Hen listens, Bobby and Athena steady the ground, and Chris—fourteen and unblinking—calls the play before anyone else will. No running, no hiding: they’ve lost enough. Group chats explode, cake is promised, and a house that has held too many almosts finally makes room for the after.

    Summary

    Three days. That's how long Eddie Diaz was supposed to handle the new SEAL detachment—routine briefing, tight discipline, zero complications.

    But Petty Officer Evan Buckley arrives with the kind of casual confidence and reckless competence that cracks Eddie’s carefully maintained control wide open.

    Now Eddie has seventy-two hours to keep things professional, even as Buck pushes every boundary Eddie swore he’d never cross.
