    Summary

    “I…I know I’m late,” Ramon starts, “and I understand if there’s no place for me. But I would really like to come to your wedding. If you’ll have me.”

    Eddie stares at him. This is the outcome he’s been hoping for since the day his mother reluctantly confirmed that her RSVP for one wasn’t a mistake, but now that it’s happening, Eddie doesn’t know what to feel. Relief? Joy? Anger?

    Shock overshadows everything else, leaving him mostly numb. “You’ve had months to decide,” Eddie says incredulously. “Why now? What changed your mind?”

    Ramon reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone. “Buck,” he says simply.

    ***


    When Eddie's father refuses to come to their wedding, Buck is determined to change his mind.

    Inspired by Schmidt and Cece's wedding on New Girl!

    Summary

    Occasionally, people’s names wouldn’t match up. It wasn’t common, and the only cases Buck had ever personally heard of had involved literal criminals, but it did happen. The other option– well. Either Buck was secretly a killer without knowing about it, or Eddie had taken one look at him and decided he wanted nothing to do with him.

    In some ways, Buck couldn’t even blame him.

    Summary

    Every time he’s at Costco, Buck finds that it’s a shame that he’s never gotten to know what the Costco Experience was. You know, before the zombies.
    Hen and Karen said that Costco, was an overstimulating experience, Chimney said that Costco was magical and it was where dreams came true (Buck’s 90% sure that Chimney’s confusing Costco and Disney but he doesn’t want to ask).

    Current apocalypse aside, Buck likes coming to Costco. He gets the appeal. A pharmacy, an optometrist, mobile phone services, garage, meats, frozen produce, furniture– anything, really.
    Sure, this one is a bit… destroyed, decrepit. But if you know where to look, or if you’re a good climber, there are still good products around, even after all these years.

    You can maybe even find a boyfriend.

    Summary

    ???
    Does this mean you will be alone for thanksgiving?

    Evan
    I’ll text my sister, but yeah, probably.
    And my roommates are going out of town and none of them have asked me
    so yeah
    probably.

    ???
    You’re in Los Angeles, then, yes?
    Well, you can have a plate at my table, Evan.
    No one should spend a holiday alone.

    Or: Buck texts Maddie to ask her her plans for thanksgiving, except he puts in the wrong area code and ends up texting a stranger.
    The stranger? Isabel Diaz. She firmly believes that it was fate that had him text her. So what does she do? Invite the stranger over for Thanksgiving, of course!

    Summary

    “Wait, what?”

    Hen gives him a funny look. “He’s fine, Buck.”

    “No, I— his name,” Buck explains, breathless.

    “Edmundo?” She questions, a strange tilt to her voice. “You do know Eddie’s full name, right?”

    “Um.” Buck is able to break out of his shocked haze enough to see the multiple pairs of eyes staring at him. “Apparently, I did not.”

     

    Or, everyone carries their soulmate's name on their chest, and Buck finally learns Eddie's full name.
