Summary
Breanna asks Eliot a question. It's... less than ideal. He keeps some things secret for a reason.
‘I mean, there were clues. Alec didn’t tell us tell us, but you should hear how he talks about you, man. It’s honestly kinda gross.’
‘What the—who the hell is “us”?’ he splutters.
‘Just me and Nana and…’ She pauses and then finishes in a rush. ‘…Okay, maybe some of our other foster siblings.’
‘“Maybe some”?’
‘Maybe a few,’ she says, which does absolutely nothing to clarify the situation. ‘My brother Mikey was the one who went hard for the triad theory. I was actually way off base for a while, ’cause Alec made it sound like he was maybe dating Catwoman and Batman at the same time, and no offense but I was kinda skeptical ’cause I’m pretty sure back in the day he posted that exact fanfic on his LiveJournal—which,’ she adds hastily, ‘if he asks, I definitely haven’t found.’

Summary
Eddie’s not a complete idiot. He knows this isn’t normal. He stands in front of a mirror in his underwear, the tightest pair he owns, and he poses for a picture at an angle he’s learned flatters his ass and the curve of his thigh, to send to his best friend.
He knows this isn’t what most best friends do. He also knows most straight guys don’t spend extensive amounts of time staring at men’s thirst trap accounts, or thinking about how their best friends look half-naked, but…
That’s not what Eddie is focusing on right now. He’s just focusing on feeling good, following the path that sparkles with joy, and refusing to overthink it. If happiness is Buck sending a meme of a guy with a nosebleed back to his shirtless selfie, then that’s what happiness is. Eddie has spent too long denying himself to let this be what stops his journey towards loving himself.
It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to be positive.
It’s not like he’s breaking any commandments, as Father Brian would say.

Summary
"And now, in as much as you, Evan Buckley and Edmundo Diaz, have given and pledged your love and faithfulness, each to the other, and have declared the same by joining hands, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the State of California as Deputy Marriage Commissioner, I now pronounce you spouses for life."
"You're crying."
"You're crying."
Christopher sighs under his breath. "You're both crying."

Summary
Bobby clears his throat, flustered. “Nothing you say will convince me to let you engage in PDA in this firehouse.”
“But outside of the firehouse is okay?” Buck pitches. “Like, for instance, in the engine?”
“Absolutely not,” Bobby says sternly. Buck deflates. “Just… find it within yourselves to be professional for the rest of the shift. Please.”
“It’s okay, Cap,” Eddie says, with a smile equal parts charming and reassuring. “We’ll behave. Right, Buck?”
“Yeah,” Buck agrees— not because he wants to, but because he’s pretty sure he would do anything Eddie ever told him to. “What’s another 46 hours?”
Or: Buck, Eddie, and their first shift as a couple.

Summary
Still reeling from Tony and Natasha's deaths, Steve goes back to 2012, using his knowledge of the future to alter the timeline. This time, they'll stop Thanos without losing anyone. This time, he's going to do things right, whatever it takes.
What he failed to anticipate, however, was developing feelings for the one person who is strictly off-limits.
It should've been simple. All he had to do was keep the Avengers together, save the world, and not fall in love with Tony in the process. Instead, one change after another sends events spiraling off in a new and unpredictable direction. Now, the future he remembers is gone, and his meddling might just cost Tony the very thing he came back to protect.

Summary
The dust settles and the stones are returned, leaving Steve more aimless than ever. In a world that doesn’t seem to need him anymore, he eventually learns that purpose goes beyond war and love is more than just a four-letter word.
Featuring two halves of a road trip, sidewalk chalk, and a man with whom Steve never expected to share a pull-out couch.
*
Steve sighs, and wants to bang his head against the cabinets. “You’re welcome too, Tony,” he says wearily. “I’m not trying to keep anyone away.”
“No,” Tony says bitterly. “You just left without telling anyone where you were going, without any way for us to contact you.”
It stings, but it’s not untrue.

Summary
“We’re toasting our regrets,” Tony explains. “Your turn."
“Oh,” Steve says.
It takes him a long minute to think of something. Or, more likely, it takes him a long moment to work up the courage. But then he turns and raises his bottle to Tony. Looks him dead in the eyes, a sad, sort of wistful smile on his face, and says, “You.”

Summary
"I really shouldn’t be talking to a figment of my imagination,” Steve said. “Sam would be reading me the riot act. I can hear him now. Therapy works wonders, you know.”
“Sounds like Wilson,” Tony agreed. “And therapy does work wonders. You might want to look into it, once it becomes a thing in a couple of years.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” Steve said.
A few years after Steve moved permanently back in time, he started having conversations with Tony again.

Summary
"And that," Shen Qingqiu said, his voice steady as he concluded his argument, "is why Liu Qingge is only the third prettiest person on Cang Qiong, after Luo Binghe and presumably Liu Mingyuan, but before Yue Qingyuan. Sorry, Zhangmen-shixiong."
"That's alright," Yue Qingyuan said in a strangled voice.
"It comes down to his ass."
"Yes, you've already said as much, shidi. Several times." Yue Qingyuan looked like he wanted to die a little bit, which was unfair. He wasn't the one who'd been dosed with a wife-plot potion designed to lower inhibitions while also compelling the truth! If anyone here should be embarrassed, it was Shen Qingqiu!
He didn't feel embarrassed, though. That was probably due to the potion, now that he thought about it.

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
“What are you looking at, Eddie?” As soon as the words leave his mouth he realizes just how flirty he sounds, but he can’t stop himself from continuing on, “Oh sorry none of my business, privacy of your own home and I, I respect that, but–”
Eddie realizes what he’s doing a second too late, leaping forward to try and stop him. Buck reaches down to grab the ipad, flips it over, and then nearly drops it to the floor. It feels like slow motion the way his hands have started to tremble and he struggles for a second to lock it—his own startled reflection staring back at him from the black screen once he finally does.
Eddie’s there seconds later, jerking the tablet out of his grip. He clutches it to his chest. They both stare at one another, for the first time in their friendship at a complete and total loss for words.
It’s silent, just the sound of the fridge humming in the background. Buck’s own heartbeat thunders loudly in his ears. Eddie’s gaze has dropped down to the floor and he’s refusing to meet Buck’s eye anymore.
or,
Buck flips the ipad and finds it open to Grindr—specifically, to the dick pic he'd sent to a headless torso with great abs an hour ago.

Eddie grins back. “You told me to do something joyful.”

“So,” Buck says, very loudly. “A priest in a gay bar. Never seen that before.”
