Summary
"That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."
Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."
"I do know that."
"You don't."
"Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."
Or,
Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.Series

Summary
“Buck?” The man asks. His face is so dirty his features are almost blurred, obscured further by his goggles and helmet.
“What’s a Buck?” Evan croaks. He’s pretty much frozen to his seat, his heart jackhammering against his chest.
The man reaches forward and, behind dirty goggles, Evan sees wide, frantic eyes. His fingers press faintly to Evan’s birthmark, the one just above his eyebrow. His hands are freezing cold.
“Buck,” the man says again, sighs out the word like it’s a prayer. And then, in front of Evan’s eyes, he disappears just as quickly as he came.
or: before he even joins the 118, Buck keeps meeting an Eddie from the future. Eddie says that they’re best friends. Buck’s beginning to think it’s a lot more complicated than that.

“You’re exhausting, you know that? I – I had a plan.”
“A – a plan?” Buck stammers.
“I was going to file, let the dust settle, and wait a respectable amount of time. Six months, if I could swing it,” Eddie barks out a manic sort of laugh, his eyes wild and bright. “Okay, maybe four months. Three, at least. And then I was going to tell you –”
“You were going to wait six months to tell me you’d filed for divorce?”
“No –”
“Eddie, I don’t –”
And then suddenly Eddie is kissing him.
Or, Buck, Eddie, and Shannon have all been friends since high school. Old truths come to light at Bobby and Athena's annual holiday party.

Summary
Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.
Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.
