Summary
Good things happen on Tuesdays. Any residual hangovers from the weekend (though there haven’t been many of those since he moved out of the Haus) are completely gone, everyone’s a little bit cheerier simply because it’s no longer Monday, he opens the cafe, usually with Bitty, and gets to go back to his apartment for almost a full 24 hours before returning to work for his regular Wednesday shift. The majority of his current favorite shows have new episodes on Tuesdays, and if it’s the midseason there’s usually a hockey game or two to watch instead.
Anyway, Adam loves Tuesdays. And Adam thinks he could very easily love this man.

Summary
Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.
She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.
“Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.
It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.
“Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”
—
Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.

Summary
“You think we should have sex?” Eddie clarified — still in that slow, deliberate tone, like any sudden movement would cause the ceiling to cave in around them.
Buck rolled his eyes. “I mean…not for real.”
“Okay. So you think we should have fake sex."
“Yeah, like reading Our Bodies, Ourselves isn’t the same as watching porn, right? It’d be educational sex.”
“Well if it’s educational sex...”
Or: Buck learns that Eddie's never had a prostate orgasm. Clipboard sex ensues.

Summary
He knows that Maddie basically raised the man Eddie’s fallen in love with. He knows that every little way Buck shows up in his life, every display of love he gives to Eddie and Chris, he learned from Maddie.
He remembers what he said to Buck that day on the loft balcony, a bag of ice blocking blue eyes from his sight. That Buck had always known Maddie as his strong big sister, but she might need to be the one taken care of for once. Maybe he'd been speaking slightly from experience.
So, yeah. It doesn't matter that they've never really talked or hung out like this before. Maddie is Buck's family, which makes her Eddie's family. If what she needs is a wine night, Eddie's gonna make it the best damn wine night of her life.
"I'm in."
-
OR: Months after the shooting, Eddie and Buck dance closer and closer to confessing their feelings for each other — until Eddie agrees to wine nights with Maddie and Karen, and Buck thinks he's dating someone new.

Summary
“Maddie, I’m so glad you’re okay,” Buck says, stepping closer so he can put one hand on the side of her head, press his mouth against her hair. She smells like fire. “But you need —”
“Eddie.”
Buck blinks. There’s a sudden tightness in his chest he can’t quite breath around. “What?” he says, but he thinks he knows.
“Eddie’s in there,” Maddie says, and her eyes are filling with tears. Chimney curses under his breath.

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.
