    Summary

    “But, seriously, that sounds great. I’m actually excited to try more of your cooking.”

    “Yeah?” Buck gives a small noise of agreement as he focuses back on the truck. “Then maybe I can make you something special, sometime. Just the two of us.” His whole body halts, a watchful air around Buck as he turns towards him slowly. Eddie’s heart is beating a bruise against his chest. “I can make us dinner. You know. Like-... Like a dat–”

    “BAMBI!” 

    All heads swing to the open bay doors, one mountain of a man standing proud with his hands at his waist.

    "...Rory?"

    OR

    Just as Eddie finally finds the courage to ask Buck out on a date, an old friend of Buck's shows up and their relationship is deep. Eddie tries to stay hopeful but with a potential long-lost love standing in the way, he knows he has to do what's best for Buck no matter what. Even if that means letting him go.

    Summary

    Romance is a lot easier to write about than it is to put into practice, and Eddie is the world’s most ridiculous living example of that. He can practically hear the kind of jokes that Shannon would make about it, if he ever told her about the books but - he didn’t. And somehow, probably just because he didn’t start writing until after they weren’t living together anymore, she never found out.

     

    There’s actually only a handful of people in the world who know that Eddie is a writer - and more specifically, that he’s E. Diaz, one of the bestselling romance authors on the market.

    or - the one where everything in canon is the same, except eddie diaz is secretly a bestselling romance author, and nobody knows. Yet.

    Summary

    “Okay, I know we kind of all had an unspoken rule not to talk about it, but…”

    “Buck and Eddie are being weird as hell?” Chim asked, sucking in a breath like he'd been holding back from letting the same thought out for far too long.

    “Yes!” Hen hissed, relieved that she wasn't the only to see the weirdness in the room. “Now, look, they're my friends and so obviously I want them to be happy, but it's also just throwing the team vibe way off.”

    Bobby took a long, tired breath. “Okay. So what did you have in mind?”

    Several things, as it turned out. Between them, they managed to come up with the very vague outline of a plan. Or a few plans, really, depending on how many failed.

    OR -

    When Buck and Eddie aren't speaking, Hen decides to take matters into her own hands.

    Summary

    What if instead of Henry asking Alex to wait, and showing him the V&A, he had told him to leave? He is not ready to let go of the last piece of armor, protecting his heart, so he tells a wet, distressed Alex, to go. And he does.

    But Alex is in love with Henry, he has no plans to let go, any time soon. So he sends his prince, an email. Letting him know his heart is locked in a safe box, and the only person that can unlock it, is Henry. No matter how long he takes, to get himself there.

    This is the story of how Alex coped with the years without the love of his life, and how they found each other again.

    A.K.A The AU no one asked for, where they are separated for the whole thing, until the last two paragraphs or so. Based on the song "Locksmith" by Sadie Jean.
