    Summary

    In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker.

    Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.

    -

    Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

    Summary

    Look. 

    Buck would like to state for the record that it was not his fault. 

    He would very much like to make that abundantly clear.

    Summary

    He broke Buck’s heart.

    He knows it. Knows it like he knows the weight of his own turnout gear, like he knows the precise way to steady himself when the ground gives way beneath him. It’s a fact, a simple and devastating truth that follows him everywhere, no matter how much distance he puts between them.

    What happened in that bathroom, Buck pushing him against the door, kissing him like it was the only way to make sure it had been real, that wasn’t some desperate attempt to get Eddie to come back. It wasn’t even about convincing Eddie to be with him, not really. It was Buck needing to know, to feel it, to confirm that Eddie had been there, that Eddie had wanted it, that it hadn’t all been some fever dream conjured up by his hopelessly romantic, self destructive heart.

    And, maybe, just a little, it was about hurting Eddie because Eddie hurt him first. Which, God, isn’t that just heartbreaking?

    Or; Eddie and Buck have sex the night before he moves back to El Paso for good.

    Each chapter follows a year in Eddie’s life as he makes his way back to Buck.

    Summary

    “They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”

    “So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”

    “A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”

    “And I am—”

    “The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

    ----

    Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.
