Summary
Instead she let herself think about her life before New Ham. She was no longer in charge after all, she was allowed a moment of weakness, finally. She missed her parents and the triviality of her life before being forced to make life or death decisions, literally.
-
Takes place right after the events of season one (ps the title may change because I'm a mess and I like naming things when I'm done with them but obviously can't do that in this case)

Summary
If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.
But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.
Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.
Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.
“Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”
____
OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
“I’m on Grindr now.”
“Bullshit.”
“No, I’m serious.” Eddie pulls out his phone and opens the app for Buck to see. It’s a week from the day of Pride, and his surprise sexuality crisis, and he’s already on the apps.
“Holy shit, you are on Grindr.”
*
Buck and Eddie have vastly different nights at Pride. Then very similar summers.- Language:

Summary
Eddie considers downloading Grindr. He’s not gay, he thinks, but curiosity killed the cat after all. It would kill Eddie’s curiosity, that’s for sure, shoot it point-blank and then Eddie can go to work in two days not feeling like he’s been wrung out on a washing line.
He shoves the thought down his throat until it’s stuck in his oesophagus and swallows. He showers, changes into sweatpants and an old shirt from the academy and climbs into bed. He fiddles around on social media, and texts Buck to let him know he’s home and in bed and when Buck doesn’t reply, Eddie decides no, absolutely not, and rolls over and goes to bed.
Eddie walks in on Buck hooking up with a guy from Grindr. He's really normal about it.
