    Summary

    "Okay," Eddie says, shaking his head like he's throwing off the laughter. "Touch my ass."

    "What?"

    "The only way for us to face this is to jump in. So, touch my ass."

    Buck untangles his arms from around Eddie. "I think the mood's gone."

    "Oh, c'mon," Eddie whines. "I promise I won't laugh."

    "I don't want to do it anymore."

    That earns him a raised eyebrow. "You don't want to touch my ass?"

    "Eddie—"

    "Just touch my ass."

    "Stop saying ass."

    "Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass—"

    Side effects may include laughter during sex, moody teens, competitive streaks a mile wide, and the ability to (somewhat) effectively communicate.

    or...Finally together, Buck and Eddie navigate their developing relationship. Eddie’s laughter at the thought of sex and Chris’s passive aggressive mixed signals don’t help a spiraling Buck’s mourning of an imagined loss of friendship. Meanwhile, Eddie comes to terms with his identity and it means for him. Featuring too much information shared during wine nights, zoo trips with a gaggle of kids, and an exhausted Ravi.

    Summary

    There was something…tense…as he continued reading. Freddie followed Tuck into the back of the ambulance, holding tight to his hand, tears streaming down his face telling Tuck “don’t ever do that again, okay?”

    That was when the atmosphere started to shift, and Eddie started to realize he wasn’t just reading a story about a house fire.

    It was almost…romantic?

    Or: After getting roped into watching the newest season of Hotshots with Christopher, Eddie falls down an internet rabbit hole about the show, where he discovers the wonderful world of archiveofourown.org.

    Summary

    Karen sits on the coffee table across from him, leaning in and placing a steady weight on his knees.

    Above them, he hears, “Did something happen to Buck? Should we call Maddie?”

    Eddie chokes, sitting upright, and looking over his shoulder at Hen, “No,” he says, voice gravelly. “Do not call Maddie.”

    “Okay,” Hen says, frowning. “Why?”

    He groans, turning back around and burying his face in his hands again. “Because Bucks probably already told her and there’s no doubt I’ve jumped to the top of her to be killed list.” He looks up. “Don’t tell me she doesn’t have a to be killed list, because I guarantee she does now.”

    “Okay. What’s going on?”

    He takes a deep breath, shaking his head. “I kissed Buck.”

    Summary

    Eddie loved his son. He loved his son so, so much. He would never stop fighting for his son. It didn’t matter if his helicopter was getting shot down in a desert halfway across the world, or if he was nearly drowning while trapped under thirty feet of mud, or if he was crawling on hands and knees back to El Paso in contrition, he was going to do whatever it took to be with Christopher.

    But he had also just kissed Buck for the first time ninety minutes ago, and he was supposed to have 1,440 more minutes of kissing before they had to go back to the real world. Eddie had waited seven years for this, he wanted twenty-four hours of uninterrupted necking with the love of his life, god dammit.

    (Or, Buck and Eddie Get Cockblocked)
