Summary
"Buck," Eddie grinds out.
"Yeah?" Buck says after a moment, clearly contemplating if he should ignore him or not.
Eddie drops down on the couch next to him, kicking his feet up on the coffee table.
"My boyfriend's being an asshole."
"Oh, that's funny, my boyfriend's also being an asshole."
or, sometimes your boyfriend is your best friend before he's your boyfriend.

Summary
Eddie should have said no. Eddie should have said, I’m fine, I can handle rain, I’ve handled worse, because that was what he always did. He didn’t make choices that felt selfish, especially not for something soft like… this.
This new thing between them that still felt like a secret he carried under his skin, warm and bright. Instead, Eddie heard himself say, “Hen’s not going.”
Buck’s eyes went wide with triumph.
“See?” he whispered dramatically, like they were in on a conspiracy. “Hen said cuddle day.”
“That’s not what she—”
OR Buck just wants to cuddle with his new boyfriend.

Summary
"Eddie doesn’t really remember the ride back to the station.
He’s vaguely aware of the three sets of eyes very deliberately not staring at him. He’s hyper-aware of one particular set that's been glued to him since before they left the scene. Since the moment he started to float away. Since before that, probably. Since they both walked in for their shift hours before."
or: a quiet evolution in touch and trust

Summary
"Buck wakes up on the couch in Eddie’s living room, lungs refusing to expand properly, drenched in sweat like the aftermath of some battle fought in his own body. His heart hammers in his chest so hard that for a moment he thinks that it will simply beat out of his body, cracking his ribs and ripping through the skin just so it can get out and away from the pain that Buck consistently puts it through."
Or, Buck navigates grief and loss through taking Christopher to a Springsteen concert and along the way, discovers some truths about himself and the relationships in his life.

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.
