Summary
He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it.
He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it.
These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate.
The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband.
or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.

Summary
“She said she wasn’t worried about us breaking up.”
Oh. Well. That was pretty definitively a thing that people said about partners who were together romantically.
“Say something,” Buck instructed.
“What?”
“Anything,” Buck said, his voice wavering on the word. Which was—it was weird, right? Why was Buck so shaken by a throwaway comment?
Or maybe the better question was why wasn’t Eddie? If either of them was going to get freaked out by the assumption that he was dating a man, it would make more sense for it to be Eddie, who was straight, and not Buck, who had, in fact, already dated men.
“Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”
-----
Buck and Eddie get shaken up by a comment from Theo’s social worker, and then by a magnitude 7 earthquake; it turns out, some disasters are better than others.

Summary
These are the rats beneath the boards of Westeros. And so she dons her veil and waits and watches and waits.
Or: Rats are rodents and vermin and hold only their survival of the upmost importance. Marlayne Frey is nothing but the same.

Summary
In Yi Ti, the Mandate of Heaven is not a metaphor. It is Heaven’s sanction to rule — and history remembers what happens when that sanction rests on a woman’s head.
The last Empress, the Amethyst Empress, was legitimate, Heaven-favoured, and crowned — and still her brother rose against her. Her reign did not fail for lack of right, but because right has never been enough to still ambition.
Since then, every woman who stood too close to the throne has been measured against that bloodstained precedent.
So when Princess Ruyan is born marked — a spirit-walker of the imperial line — the court does not see a blessing.
It sees a repetition.
Even if she refused the crown, others would raise it for her. Even if she stood aside, men would marry her into claims and call it Heaven’s will.
The Emperor cannot crown her without inviting the same war that ended the Amethyst Empress. He cannot keep her close without letting history gather its knives again.
Hence he sent his daughter away for stability for his kingdom but also for her to fulfill his plans for his empire.Series

Summary
The average person can hold their breath from 30-90 seconds.
Lila Hollis must’ve been pretty average considering she only lasted 50 seconds.
She thought she drowned? How the hell was she on the top of a building? Is that a fucking zombie?
