Summary
"So should we start blocking off time in our calendar for dance lessons with Coach Diaz?"
Eddie knows Karen means it as a joke, but the combination of the wine in his system and the joy in his gut make it feel serious, "Yes."
"Wait, really?" Hen asks.
"If she wants to dance, I'll teach her to dance. We had fun today," Eddie finishes his glass and notices he's probably at the point where he's drunk enough to talk about the Buck thing.
"You don't have to do that Eddie. I'm sure we could pay for lessons somewhere," Karen offers.
"Or we could pay you," Hen offers.
"I have an idea for that actually," alright, Eddie, be brave, "I give Mara dance lessons and you both give me gay lessons."
or
When Mara becomes obsessed with ballroom dance Eddie becomes her teacher. Along the way he realizes he's in love with Buck, starts receiving "gay lessons" from Hen and Karen, and forms a ragtag dance academy. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Buck sits up, and pushes away the shyness that creeps in, when he goes to take his socks off. Reveals his toes, and the lavender polish that’s covering each nail. His heart swells when he sees them.
He chances a glance at Eddie, and his smile is something fond, and Buck’s not exactly sure what he was hoping for, but this at least isn’t bad.
Eddie looks up at him, cradles his face, and says, “Very pretty, baby.”
Or: Buck gets his toes done, and feels something new because of it. Things go from there.

Summary
“So,” Bobby interrupts gently, “how about we all go around and say our favorite…” his gaze lingers an extra second on Rocio, and he shrugs casually— “animals?”
“She’s not seven,” Eddie tells Bobby with a frown.
Rocio scoffs. “She still likes animals.”
-OR-
There’s a new probationary firefighter. There’s Heelys. There’s even a heavy-handed religious epiphany quoting scripture from Luke. Eddie is going to get a three chapter realization/healing arc that doesn’t involve moving to El Paso or so help me God

Summary
The first time Buck had met Pepa, she’d described Eddie as a saint, and she’d been right. Buck may be fuzzy on his Art History eras, but he can conjure up plenty of images of shirtless saints, and Eddie, abs adorned with sparkles and glowy mood lighting framing his face, looks more saintly than ever before.
Eddie motions Buck over. “Come meet my friends!” He turns to the woman petting his hair. “This is my friend, Buck!”
The woman eyes Buck suspiciously, but without judgment. “You the baby daddy?” she asks, not unkindly.
Before Buck has a chance to say no, or yes, or what?— Eddie’s face crumples, and he turns to the drag queen forlornly, muttering, “I don’t have a baby anymore,” before face-planting into her breastplate with a sob.
The queen squeezes his shoulder and shushes him gently. “I know, sweetie, it’s okay. You can be our baby.”
“My baby’s all grown up.”
“It’s gonna be alright.”
