Summary
When Eddie leaves Los Angeles for a fresh start in El Paso, he doesn’t expect his entire identity to unravel—least of all the part of him he’s buried for years. Buck, left behind and nursing a broken heart he refuses to admit exists, spirals into loneliness, old patterns, and a growing obsession with what Eddie isn’t saying. As Eddie explores his queerness through secret pasts, impulsive choices, and slow-burning self-acceptance, Buck struggles to let go—or to let himself hope. What follows is a charged, intimate unraveling of Buck and Eddie who might be destined for each other… if they can survive the truth.
A story about sadness, loneliness, a past life, distance - and love.

Summary
Buck likes to feed the ducks.
It’s a simple thing, really.
Quiet. Easy. Steady.
When he was little, Maddie would take him down to the lake with a paper bag full of bread, mostly the odds and ends no one wanted, crusts, heels, stale slices.
But to the ducks, it was a feast.
They’d sit on the worn wooden bench near the shore, shoes kicked off, toes curled into the grass, and tear the bread into tiny pieces, tossing it into the water one by one. The ducks would come paddling over in a flurry of feathers and excited quacking, pecking at the floating crumbs with enthusiastic energy.
Buck loved it.
He loved the way the water rippled out in rings, the soft sounds of beaks on water, and the way Maddie would smile at him like he was doing something important.
He was.
In his young mind, he wasn’t just feeding ducks, he was taking care of them.
Or; Over the course of his life, when things feel like too much, Buck finds a lake, feeds the ducks… and tells them all his secrets.

Summary
“Damn, Diaz, I didn’t realize you were bringing your boytoy with you.” Lucian leans against the doorway to the locker room.
Eddie doesn’t even look up from where he’s carefully wrapping his hands. “Touch him and I’ll break it.” He deadpans.
Buck is silent, hovering near Eddie, watching the exchange happen. Lucian pushes off the doorframe, crossing the room in three long strides and reaching to stroke a thumb over Buck’s cheek.
Eddie is there, gripping Lucian’s wrist so tightly he swears he can hear the bones squeak together. He shoves him back, stepping forcefully into his space to create room between them and Buck. He puts himself nose-to-nose with Lucian. “I told you. If you touch him, I’ll break you.”
OR, Buck accidentally joins a fight club. Eddie tries to get him out of it.
