    Summary

    The 118 finally learn why Buck is the way he is. Their theory of a cult or a conversion camp was way off. Somehow, though, the reality of being a demi-god isn’t much better.

    Buck thought they’d be happier to learn he wasn’t part of a cult.

    ****

    (i.e. The 118 all struggle with the revelation in different ways. Bobby crashes out learning the Gods exist, Athena’s still wanting justice for Buck’s dead childhood and if Eddie was worried about Anna being a nun, he has no idea how to cope with the literal son of a deity.)

    ****

    Part of a series Hearth and Home, Buck is a demi-god, blessed by Hestia.

    Summary

    He’s fairly sure, in some faraway part of his brain, that Eddie doesn’t mean for him to climb onto the couch, slot his legs between Eddie’s, and collapse on top of him — Eddie’s chest his new favorite pillow.

    He does know that’s probably not what he meant. But it is what Buck does.

     

    Or, Buck's so, so tired. What's he supposed to do but take a nap on top of Eddie?

    Summary

    “You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”

    Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”

    There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:

    “It meant something.”

    There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.

    “I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”

    ~

    Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

    Summary

    "I'm kidding, relax." Buck grins at him, radiating false innocence, and takes another sip. "Although I bet if I really wanted you to do something, I'd just have to ask nicely. Say please."

    He pauses, Eddie can see the mischief brewing, can practically see the gears turning in Buck's head. "Or maybe just call you sir. That seems to work pretty well."

    Eddie stops breathing. So much for trying to act natural.

    Buck is watching him now, really watching him with sharp curious eyes and Eddie can feel himself being catalogued, examined, picked apart and analyzed like a bug under a microscope.

    "I don't know what you're talking about," Eddie says, which is a blatant lie and they both know it.

    "Sure you don't." Buck pushes off the counter, still smiling that infuriating smile. "Whatever you say, sir."

    Or,
    Eddie Diaz and the three letter problem.

    Summary

    A person who listens to whatever inane, mundane shit Buck is incapable of not spouting? Actually listens, with interjected questions and regular mmhms of acknowledgement? Indulgent of every tangent, every spiel, unless Buck is actively sowing terror in the hearts of victims on calls with his worst-case scenario stories.

    He has that person. Eddie. According to May, that makes Eddie his person, a thought that has a bloom of warmth unfurling in his chest.

    It might not be romantic, but it’s—it’s something.

    And it’s worth Buck trying to get back to who they were. When their shift is over, he follows Eddie home like he might’ve done a year ago.

     

    or, buck learns about bird theory. eddie, unsurprisingly, is the only one who passes with flying colours
