Summary
“If I had,” Chris lingers on the words, watching Eddie intently through the screen, “If I had conditions?”
Eddie feels his stomach knot up. It’s the first time Chris has ever alluded to a willingness to come home. Usually he just shoots Eddie down with a flat “I know” before hurrying off the call. Eddie Diaz will be damned before he lets this chance slip through his hands.
“Anything,” his voice rings with desperation in his own ears, “Whatever you need to feel ready to come home. If I can make it happen, I will.”
Chris eyes him, young face serious as a judge presiding over trial. An apt comparison because only Chris could condemn or parole Eddie. His fate is in his son’s hands so completely that if he was going to therapy, Frank would probably be concerned. Finally, Chris opens his mouth and says something so earth shattering as to crack the foundations of his father’s mind.
“Marry Buck,” Chris says firmly.

to have and to hold (platonically and heterosexually) by teenytinytomlinson

Summary
So in the middle of Eddie’s dining room, with his brain to mouth filter non-existent (as per usual), Buck blurts out, “Marry me.”
Eddie sits straight up, looking at him with eyes wide as saucers.
“Excuse me?”
“W-well, just think about it. If we get married I can add you and Chris to my insurance policy and that solves your problem.”
Eddie’s mouth forms a perfect little ‘o’. Buck waits patiently for the floor to open up and swallow him whole.
When the ground doesn’t do as he’d hoped he realizes he has to say something else. “Obviously, w-we don’t have to,” he’s quick to assure. “But if we did it would be platonic, of course, because you’re straight and–” he pauses, praying for another rogue stroke of lightning. Anything to put him out of his misery right now. “-and like I know that I’m bi now, but this wouldn’t be like that y’know? It would just be two friends helping each other out.” He’s rambling, the words won’t stop tumbling out. “Like a friends with benefits type situation! E-except you know not those kinds of benefits! Like actual benefits! Health and dental.”
or,
Eddie is moving to Texas, losing his insurance, and marrying Buck all very heterosexually and platonically.

[Podfic] Stuck on Fast Forward (Throw Away the Blueprint) by Mistchievous for extasiswings

Summary
“Sounds like the problem is you think casual sex with a stranger or finding someone new to date are your only options.”
Eddie’s brow furrows. “Aren’t they?”
“I mean, there’s always…someone you already know. Who you’re already comfortable with.”
“Because my pool of male friends who are single and who would be interested in having sex with me has so many options?”
“Well, I don’t know about many, but you only need one,” Buck points out.
“And who would that be?”
“Me, of course.”
[Or: Frank gives Eddie therapy homework, Eddie misunderstands the assignment, and Buck is just a really supportive friend...right?]

Summary
See! All of that was normal. Expected. Unremarkable in the day in the life of two best friends whose favorite kid in the whole wide world was coming back!
Except Eddie was still smiling at his phone dazedly like the Cheshire Cat, so lost in joy, Joy, JOY, that the next thing Buck knew, Eddie was leaning in to kiss him briskly on the lips with an, "Alright, baby. Just lock up."
Buck froze. Dumbstruck as he stared after Eddie, who was distractedly rushing out the door.
"I'm sure Frank will set me straight. I'll be sure to let you know if I have any big revelations."
Or, Eddie has no idea he's shown his cards and Buck makes it his mission to get Eddie to allow himself to be happy.
