Summary
"I don't wanna die, Eddie. I need you to believe me. I don't. I just don't really feel alive, either."

Summary
Buck is drowning in adoption paperwork when Eddie finds a form he wasn't supposed to see yet.
It's fine. It's not a big deal. Buck had a whole plan for telling him, and it definitely didn't involve Eddie reading his name on a caretaker designation form at the kitchen table while Buck was spiraling over exactly which trauma qualifies as his worst. It's fine. Really.
Enter Chris, who says nine words and accidentally implodes both of their brains. Again. It's fine. I swear.
or
what will now be lovingly referred to as the paperwork spiral of 2026.

Summary
New Mexico broke something in Buck that he never got around to naming. Eddie noticed. He always notices. Buck has spent the better part of a year being everything Bobby asked him to be for everyone else. He forgot, somewhere along the way, that Bobby never actually asked him to do it alone.
--
Or the one where it all catches up to Buck at once, the list of things left unsaid finally gets shorter, and the people who love him reguse to let him convince them it doesn't matter.

Summary
He was in love with Eddie.
He loved Eddie.
It wasn’t just some cliché crush-on-your-best-friend kind of thing.
It was all consuming love that was once in history described as force strong enough to build entire civilizations or to crush them into fine dust.
A love so huge that giving up your own life to spare theirs hurts less then living in the world without your soulmate.
***

Summary
“Remember how Ravi said I needed to get laid?” Buck asks at last.
Karen gasps, her hand coming to cover her mouth in shock. “Buck. You didn’t,” she sighs.
“What, you—” Hen looks like she can’t believe her ears, shaking her head. “You slept with your future nanny during the interview?
“That’s highly unprofessional,” Karen adds with a concerned frown.
Okay. Well. Maybe Buck shouldn’t have started there. “No! I— It was before, okay?”
Hen squints her eyes, trying to understand. “So, this man turns up to your house, you say hi, you have sex, and then you start asking about his former employers’ references?”
Or: Buck needs a nanny. Eddie is desperatly looking for a job. They might end up finding more than they asked for.
