Summary
Buck moves in on a Saturday. It’s a small house, but that’s okay. With each successive move Buck had gotten rid of more and more belongings. He doesn’t have much left at this point.
Eddie helps him move boxes and furniture from storage to his truck and from his truck into his new house. With a lunch break, the entire process only takes three hours. It’s all a bit anticlimactic. Eddie offers to help him unpack, since they have so much time, but the idea settles too heavy in Buck’s stomach. Moving boxes is one thing. Moving in is something else entirely.
This is the first place that Buck has ever lived in that he picked out for himself. He’s feeling a little precious about that. He doesn’t want someone else to decide which drawer his utensils should be in. He’s had enough of other people telling him where to put things.
Or:
Buck buys a fixer-upper, grieves Bobby, and works through his loneliness. Tommy helps.- Language:

Summary
Evan dances with… someone, then another someone, then gets passed a shot from a stranger that he feigns taking before dumping it on the ground because he wants to be drunk, not dead.
Then a hand touches his elbow, far gentler than anyone touched him all night, and Evan turns to see the person standing behind him and–
Person is an understatement.
The man looks like a Greek god. The ones cut from marble and decorated in bronze and–
And if he thought Blue was attractive, they’ve got nothing on this man. Not with his pretty tousled hair and strong nose and cheekbones Evan suddenly wants to do a shot off of.

Summary
A 10 + 1 about Tommy and Buck being friends. Until they aren't.
“You gave us a hashtag?”
He looks over to see. Oh. Oh no. She gave them two hashtags, #(not)burningdownthehouse and #lightmyfire and he’s never going to be able to look Athena in the eyes again. “Oh my god,” he says faintly.

Summary
Tara Kaplan, a new nurse, searches for the identity of the John Doe she's taking care of so that she can contact his loved ones.
EXCERPT:
“It’s a miracle he’s still alive.”
The man had been in that room for a week and a half.
John Doe.
He was a bigger man.
Tall.
And muscular.
He was tanned. Not too tanned, but he definitely tanned more than burned in the sun. He had an aquiline nose, distinct cheekbones, and a cleft. He had curly hair; curly, chestnut brown hair. He was banged up from the hit and run. Cuts and bruises, though, the swelling was going down and the fresh red-purple was seeping into a yellow. Had three casts and almost lost his spleen. Dry lips from a week and a half asleep.
He was breathing, though.
Breathing steadily.
He was Tara Kaplan’s first John Doe.
And no one was sure if they would ever figure out who he was before he woke up.

Summary
Evan "Buck" Buckley finds a four-inch-tall man in the hibiscus flower his sister recently gifted to him. He may or may not have almost instantly fallen in love with that four-inch-tall man.
EXCERPT:
The man tried to speak, but all that came out was a coughing storm of pollen. Which made Buck worried. Made Buck scramble through his medicine cabinet to grab the little measuring cup for his Dayquil before rushing to the sink to get water and running back to give it to the man.
And it was so big in the man’s hands.
Like a man drinking from a bobbing for apples basin.
But it seemed to suffice as the man took a moment to drink the water.
Buck.
Just.
Watched.
Marveled as this man the size of a soda can drank an entire thirty milliliters of water.
Just.
Chugged it.
And, maybe it was a blessing that the measuring cup was two inches because it did at least obfuscate the man’s nakedness. He gazed up at Buck with those gripping blue eyes as he said, his voice rough, “Wow. Usually, I don’t wake up to someone in front of me.”
And.
That was when Buck might have screamed.
Might have panicked and ran into his bathroom.

Summary
Buck wakes up to a ray of sunshine hitting his face, and the first thing he realizes is that he's not laying on his very comfortable and expensive bed but on the couch instead. The second thing he notices, after he forces his eyes open and sits up, is the naked man sleeping face-down on the rug.

Summary
“Sometimes you just want to be the one people will stick around for,” he mumbles.
Tommy bumps their shoulders together gently as they walk. “I’m not going anywhere.”
Buck smiles and bumps his shoulder back. “You say that now.”
“I can’t imagine wanting to leave you behind if I could help it, Evan.”

Summary
Buck finds Tommy at his loft when he gets home from a shift.
EXCERPT:
Key.
There was a key.
On the counter.
Tommy did that.
When.
When he came over.
He would drop things wherever and just forget where he would put them and Buck couldn’t let his heart race like this.
He couldn’t.
He couldn’t immediately start scanning his loft, his dark fucking loft, and spot –
Fuck.
Tommy.
Curled up.
On the couch.
“Tommy?” Buck called out.
Tentative.
And quiet.
And barely able to believe this.
Was Buck seeing things? Had Buck’s grief gotten so bad that he was seeing things?
Buck hesitantly inched his way toward the figure lying on his couch as if Tommy might be a mirage; might disappear if Buck got too close.
But he didn’t.
Tommy didn’t.
The moonlight fell on the room in a way where it seemed to only highlight Tommy’s eyes; empty and tired and abyssally devastated.
“I meant to leave the key and go and I just…” Tommy mumbled to the ground, “I’m sorry.”

Summary
Buck knows he's bi. He knows what he wants. And what he wants, right now, is Tommy. Maybe his hand in marriage, because he's getting desperate. Because, despite all of his attempts, and all of the positive responses from Tommy, for some reason, Tommy just ... doesn't act on anything.
Tommy knows Evan is straight. He asked both Howie and Hen about it, and he trusts their word on it. It doesn't stop Evan from pulling him in, and making him fall head over heels for him anyway. Tommy knows better than to fall for a straight guy, he does, but ... he can't change it.
Everything would be easier if they just talked to each other, but where's the fun in that?
- (canon divergent 7x04 and onwards, Buck already knows he's bi and Tommy thinks he's straight.)

Summary
“What do you mean I-” The man's eyes widened. “Are you… have you lived through this day before?”
“Have you ?” Buck retorted.
The man raised an eyebrow. “I asked you first.”
“And I asked you second,” Buck countered.
He chuckled softly. “Okay, yeah. Eighteen times and counting.”
Buck couldn't tear his eyes away from him. It seemed like the feeling was mutual. Here they stood, in the middle of a street that was bustling with people, and it was like everyone else had disappeared, leaving them both in a world of their own.
“Me too,” Buck breathed out, a small smile pulling at the corner of his lips. “What's your name?”
“Tommy Kinard,” the man said, extending his hand.

or: Buck and Tommy get stuck in a time loop together.

Summary
Tommy Kinard is just your regular incubus, who chose Evan "Buck" Buckley as his next assignment, a man who's in a bit of a rut at the moment. Will Tommy be able to help Evan find that spark again? God, Tommy hopes so. He'd suck at his job if he can't.
EXCERPT:
“What’s… happening?” yawned Evan.
“Well, they didn’t feel like sending the paralysis demons anymore. Waste of a horny guy.”
Evan snorted.
“What?”
“Sorry, I’m – I’m your incubus. Recently assigned to you,” said Tommy as he gracefully sat down on the corner of that bed crisscross, unsure if he should really approach Evan, “I apologize if this isn’t the clearest of introductions. I’m new. I’m a little nervous myself.”
