    Summary

    Buck probably thinks Eddie’s freezing up because he’s remembering the time before Buck, except he isn’t, because he can’t. Buck came along and redefined what it means to touch, to be touched.

    And Eddie doesn’t know to explain that. He doesn’t know how to split the whole thing into parts.

    How to say: I want you more than I have ever wanted anything. I want you close, and here, and always.

    I don’t know how to let you take what I want you to have.

    in which eddie can almost, almost let himself have everything with buck. it takes one google invite, one therapist, and a never-ending series of stops and starts to figure out why the almosts keep happening.

    (a coda to tell me about despair.)

    Summary

    "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."

    Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"

    "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."

    And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

    ***
    After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

    Summary

    “This is so unfair,” Alex says, still eyeing Henry.

    “What?” June asks.

    “That Henry Fox is talented, successful, and also mind-numbingly good-looking?” says Nora.

    Alex nods. “Exactly. Like my perfect nemesis. He’s coming for my brand.”

    ***

    Alex has read Henry Fox's debut approximately three times in the past three months. The novel, featuring a wary protagonist coming to terms with his sexuality, is garnering Fox critical acclaim. And maybe Alex is a little jealous — his own novel generated a surprising amount of success last year after going viral online, but it just wasn't cut out for the type of buzz Fox was receiving. So Alex jumps at the chance to meet Henry at a book signing, despite knowing very little about the man himself.

    What starts as a bad first impression quickly leads to fast friendship, many Instagram DMs, and a whole lot of mutual pining.

    Summary

    Alex wakes up in the 12th city in his 120-show world tour to find that overnight, a podcast clip has gone viral where the tight end of the New York Giants is pretty fucking openly hitting on him. It’s flattering and confident and, most of all, hot.

    Alex isn’t even into football, but competency has always been a bit of a thing for him. And Henry Fox seems pretty goddamn impressive.

    He texts Nora: thoughts on me sliding into his dms?

    Or: an AU inspired by Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift
