    Summary

    Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.

    It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.

    Summary

    The thing is, now that he’s accepted being romantically inclined towards Buck, he’s pretty sure he sees Buck’s reciprocated feelings everywhere. It feels more like a matter of when rather than if. Like Buck’s a sure thing. 

    On the evening of Buck’s speed dating event, he comes out of their bedroom asking for help picking between two jackets, and Eddie simply says, “you don’t need to go to that.”

    “Huh?” Buck’s eyebrows shoot up, framed by that blushed red birthmark.

    Eddie shrugs, leaning back on the couch and kicking his feet up. “Go waste time if you want, but you really don’t need to.”

    /

    Eddie is possessive of Buck, but he doesn't get jealous. Why would he? Buck's always been his.

    Summary

    Coming out is a scary prospect. Especially when you're thirty four, chronically emotionally repressed, and in no uncertain terms deeply in love with your best friend (i.e. the intended recipient of said coming out). And it's with that in mind that Eddie gives himself a rare moment of grace, accepting that maybe it was the colossal weight of this emotional distress, and not his own personal failure that led him to develop his worst idea yet - a practice run.

    Or; Eddie practices coming out with his new favorite four-year-old. It doesn't go well, or maybe it goes a little too well.

    Summary

    Eddie recaps this in his head a couple more times and he’s — jealous. Fuck, he’s jealous. That’s the word for it, the heat coiling deep in his gut, his whole body wound like a spring about to snap.

    Jealousy.

    Which is a bizarre emotion to feel about your best friend sleeping with someone. Jealousy implies ownership, implies wanting, implies — implies that 1) Eddie is not straight, and 2) he is possibly in love with his best friend and maybe possibly wants to suck said best friend’s dick about it.

    Alright — okay. Eddie feels like he needs to sit with that for a second, give it the space it deserves.

    Eddie wants to suck a dick attached to a person who is a man.

    Not just any dick, either. Buck’s dick. His best friend.

    Huh.

    He expected that to feel weirder. He expected sirens, maybe, or a crisis, or at minimum a dramatic internal monologue about his Catholic upbringing and the sanctity of heterosexuality.

    Instead, there’s nothing. The sirens are silent, the crisis doesn’t come, and Eddie wants to suck his best friend’s cock. Non-platonically.

    Or,
    Eddie moves back to LA, finds out Buck slept with Tommy, and reacts accordingly.

    Summary

    Chimney is working the winch, helping to lower them down, and Buck trusts Chimney with his life. He doesn't, however, trust these cables much anymore.

    Suddenly, he's freefalling at about a hundred feet in the air.

    “BUCK!”

    He can hear Eddie screaming, Bobby barking some kind of orders at someone through his walkie, and then only the blood rushing through his ears.
    Buck reaches out for something, anything, to slow his fall, but he can't even tell which way is up. He can’t find purchase. He's turned around from the sudden weightlessness and the terror. He needs to—

    aka, Buck gets hurt on the job and flashes through different lifetimes.
