    Summary

    “I hope you don’t plan on hitting me with that,” comes a voice from behind him and when he turns around, he drops the bat out of shock.

    It hits the ground with a clank, and he hears two sets of footsteps rush around the corner from the kitchen and Eddie knows, then and there, that he’s truly fucked.

    “What the fuck are you doing here?”

    Adriana cocks her eyebrow at Eddie as she walks out of the bathroom. “We’ve been worried about you,” she says, “you’re not returning either of our calls.”

    or, Eddie's sisters come to visit. "To see the sights," they say. ("Proof of life," Eddie thinks).

    Summary

    “You were right earlier,” Ilya whispers, his voice rough, like he’s forgotten how to speak in the last two hours since saying goodbye to everyone at the shelter. “Thirty-five is a special birthday, but not just for the reasons you said.”

    Or:

    With no Cup game to play, Shane decides to throw Ilya a surprise 35th birthday. Unfortunately, Ilya has complex feelings about turning 35.

    Summary

    “It’s okay. I don’t need anything.” 

    “I am not going to eat in front of you while you have nothing, Hollander,” Ilya scoffs. He plucks a can of cold ginger ale from the top shelf as casually as he can manage and slides it over the island, interrupting Hollander’s fidgeting thumbs. “You must be hungry, yes? It’s been hours since you left hotel. I can make something. Easy.” 

    “Make… what?” he asks warily.  

    Ilya rolls his eyes and tosses a look over his shoulder. “Do not worry. I will find something that works for your special hockey diet,” he teases. He reaches back into the fridge. “Tuna melt okay?” 

    “No,” Hollander says primly. “And it’s a disease. Not a diet.” 

    He pulls his hands out of the cold and turns, blinks. “What?”

    Summary

    “Go?” Rozanov repeats, and Shane thinks he manages to nod, thinks he manages to spin some kind of excuse that he knows Rozanov doesn’t really buy, but he needs to go. He needs to get out of here. He needs to find somewhere quiet and calm where he can ride out this panic and painful tightness until he can catch his breath again. He needs-

    He needs to go.

    “I’m sorry,” he says, turning heel and resisting the urge to just book it right for the front door only because he’d rather not have to explain to Hayden why he returned from a hookup with Boston Lily in men’s clothes that he certainly didn’t leave in.

    It’s not until he makes it halfway up the stairs to Rozanov’s bedroom that it occurs to him in a cold rush that it isn’t just anxiety that makes it this hard to breathe.

    “No,” he tells himself firmly, white knuckling the bannister and trying to take a deep breath just to prove that he can.

    It wheezes.

    Summary

    The doctor tilts her head to the only source of warmth in the cold, hospital room. “And who’s he?”

    Buck’s eyes drift to Eddie, hungry for the sight of him. They fall upon the tense line of Eddie’s shoulders, the firm press of otherwise plump lips, watching like the very air in his lungs depend on Buck’s answer.

    “That’s Eddie,” Buck answers, and the smile sneaks up on him. “Eddie Diaz. My partner.”

    There. Relief washes through Eddie in a visible wave: his shoulders drop, features relaxing with the soft push of an exhale. Buck warms at the sight. Right answer.


    A polysemy is a word with multiple, related meanings. The word partner, for example, can mean close friendship, a teammate, a co-parent. To someone else, it can also mean a lover.

    Summary

    “Shh, no, don’t talk. I just got a response, finally. From the others. They’re coming, Eddie. You’re going to be okay, just stay awake.”

    The elevator hadn’t moved yet. They were still trapped in no man’s land, still stuck too far for them to easily get to Eddie and save him. Buck could try to keep faith, but Eddie knew better, and so Eddie had to say it before he lost the chance.

    “Buck, listen, I—”

    “Eddie, don’t. No goodbyes, okay? Please?”

    “I’m not going to die without saying this, so shut up and listen.” Eddie managed to rasp out.

    Buck, to his credit, shut up and listened.

    OR -

    Buck and Eddie are stuck in the elevator together as Eddie bleeds out from his stabbing. Truths are realised, secrets are spilled.

    Summary

    “Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”

    Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”

    “I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”

    Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

    Summary

    “Everyone’s a little fluid, Eddie,” Zane says, and gone is that warm smile, those kind brown eyes. He looks hungry. He looks mad. He scoffs. “I mean, come on.”

    Eddie shakes his head. “Sorry, I, uh— I think I should go.”

    In his periphery, Jade’s stockinged foot tamps. “So soon?”

    Eddie looks at her, then at Zane. She looks disappointed, but Zane—

    Is holding a switchblade.

    or, Eddie goes home with Zane. It doesn't end well.

    Christopher can’t do this. His hand is broken, his legs are going all shaky the way they do before they give out, and he’s barely in high school! He’s fifteen! He can’t even drive yet, probably won’t ever be able to, and he’s had to see his dad and Buck on the brink of death so many times since he was a kid that he’s starting to really get sick of it.

    Christopher can’t do this. He can’t deliver a baby. Doesn’t it make any difference that he’s just fifteen?

    or, A dead mall, a hostage situation, and a baby. This is not how Christopher planned on spending his last day of summer vacation.

    Summary

    “I heard you two were expanding your family! Another little one at Durand. We were so excited when we saw the enrollment paperwork.” She clasps her hands together. “Theo is an absolute joy. Let me show you what he’s been working on.”

    Expanding your family.

    Buck opens his mouth to redirect — it's a reflex, the correction sitting right there on his tongue. This isn’t the first time they’ve been mistaken for more than two totally platonic best friends who are both men and also raising children together.

    It’s right there, polite and practiced: Oh, we’re not actually—

    But suddenly Eddie’s hand is on his back. Not his shoulder this time, but lower. A few inches lower than two totally platonic best friends who are both men and also raising children together would justify.

    Eddie’s palm presses flat against the base of Buck’s spine, fingers spread wide like he’s anchoring them both to the same spot.

    “Thank you so much,” Eddie says. “We’re really proud of him.”

    Or: The totally platonic act of raising not just one, but two kids with your straight best friend.

    Chris scooted closer to get a better look at it. “Theo, how come Buck and Dad are holding hands?”

    “What? We’re not -” He leaned in closer and, sure enough, Buck and Eddie’s respective blobs were connected by a single line.

    “Because they’re like Mommy and Daddy,” Theo explained as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

    “The magic glowy song!” He exclaims. “So Eddie can heal!”

    Eddie’s shoulders start shaking from laughter.

    “Theo, buddy, I don’t think—”

    Theo groans as if Buck had personally insulted Rapunzel herself.

    And Eddie, because he’s an asshole, says, “C’mon, Buck, I’ll even smolder for you.”

    “No!” Buck says quickly. “I’ll—I’ll sing. I’ll sing the magic song.”

    "I don't think Eddie knows how to ride a horse."

    As far as Buck is aware, his best friend is not harbouring secret equestrian tendencies.

    "Yes, he does," Theo insists stubbornly, looking personally offended at Buck's disagreement. "He rode a horse in the desert."

    Buck blinks.

    "Chris told me."

    or, Eddie tells Chris he rode a horse in New Mexico, Chris tells Theo, Theo tells Buck. Some revelations are made.
