Summary
It was supposed to be one charity show.
One harmless, slightly raunchy firefighter-themed performance for a good cause.Then Buck pulled Eddie into a world of poles, suspenders, body oil, and smouldering tension that had no business being this hot.
Two firefighters walk into a strip club. Only one walks out emotionally intact. (Spoiler: it’s not Eddie.)

Summary
For a long time, he thought it was Shannon. His love for her had ruined him for all women.
Now he’s not so sure. All thanks to Father Brian and fucking juice.
The juice, it turns out, is gay porn. Which brings him back to the beginning. Porn doesn’t really do it for Eddie. Until now.
Until Buck, and his goddamn secret OnlyFans.
Or: Eddie's parents sue for custody (fuck the Diaz parents) & Buck starts an OnlyFans to pay for a lawyer. Eddie befriends Father Brian, who encourages him try some gay porn and, well. Then Buck and Eddie make a series of utterly unhinged choices about it. freak4freak tempered with intense character study ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summary
Eddie touches Buck a lot.
It’s a thing they do, has been for years, and it’s not a big deal. Eddie’s an affectionate guy. Side hugs and arm grabs and that move where Eddie steers him through doorways with a hand on his lower back.
All of which Buck has never spent any real time considering because it’s just Eddie, it’s just how he is. Eddie touches people and Buck just happens to be the person standing next to him most of the time, so it’s aimed at him most of the time. Proximity and frequency, that’s all. A coincidence.
They’re close. They always have been. So what?
All that being said, there is one thing Eddie doesn’t do.
Eddie doesn’t kiss Buck.
Or — didn’t. Past tense, until about thirty seconds ago, when Eddie leaned across their table at the diner they’re currently eating at and pressed his mouth to Buck’s cheek like the kiss was just another item on a list of things he was doing that afternoon.
Or,
The totally natural and platonic long-term friendship escalation of kissing your best friend on multiple parts of his body without explanation.Bookmarked by effulgent_73

Summary
He feels like shit when he's hungry, and he plays better when he's empty. The cold air doesn't touch him as much. The floodlights turn silvery-soft.
And he likes eating. Keeps his hands busy, mouth busy, mind busy. Something to chew through, putty in the ears.
Go until he can't anymore. Cycle it back out. Be ready.--
OR: Buck's had on-again, off-again bulimia since he was 14.
