    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    “He looks so happy,” Jackie said, joining him at the railing. She rested her head against his shoulder, wrapped an arm around his waist. “It’s really nice to see.”

    “Yeah, it really is,” Hayden said. He sighed heavily. “Fuck. I’m gonna have to start liking Ilya Rozanov, aren’t I?”

    Jackie giggled, rubbing his back in a placating manner. “I’m afraid so, babe.”

    5 times Hayden started understanding Shane and Ilya's relationship, and the 1 time he finally told Shane he did.

    Summary

    They both know this is it. That beyond this barren landscape, whatever they found here will cease to exist.

    It was born here and it’ll die here, and Eddie will spend the rest of his life missing it, but he’s not allowed to take it with him. They have to bury it - dig six feet down and submerge it in the sun-scorched earth so she can remember it for them. So she can cradle it and keep it safe, where no one can ever touch it. Where no one can ever taint it.

     

    (Buck and Eddie meet in Afghanistan. It changes everything.)

    Summary

    There's an itch between his shoulder blades when Buck talks about Tommy, when Buck asks Eddie if he wants to join the two of them for a drink after work, when Buck smiles at a text message and Eddie knows it's from Tommy. His stomach had been twisted in knots for half of Maddie and Chim's wedding, watching the two of them.

    There's only one awful, inevitable conclusion: Eddie isn't actually as comfortable with Buck's coming out as he thought he was. Which is, frankly, unacceptable.

    Summary

    “The good news is, none of the substances any of you were exposed to were particularly dangerous. They were mostly trying to make psychedelic drugs in that little kitchen lab of theirs. That’s why they were growing mushrooms,” said Athena.

    “Mostly?” asked Eddie.

    “That’s the bad news. They were also trying to formulate an…aphrodisiac.”

    When Eddie gets exposed to an experimental aphrodisiac on a call, he realizes there’s only one person he trusts to help him get through it: Buck.

    Summary

    They don’t plan their own bachelor party.

    It goes more like this: there’s a knock on the door. Chim bullies them both into his car and Bobby hustles Christopher into his, promising to drop their son off tomorrow afternoon. They’re driven across town, to some stylish pop-up bar that Maddie rented out for the night. They’re ordered inside, marched like prisoners.

     

    (Eddie marries the love of his life. It's been a long time coming.)

    Summary

    Eddie loves the bond that Buck and Christopher have, the little traditions and customs they share, even if he doesn’t always understand them.
    But he forgets that there’s the person who taught these things to Buck in the first place, so that he could pass them on to Christopher.
    And as he starts paying closer attention, Eddie finds himself immensely grateful to Maddie, and he may just find it changes the way he looks at his best friend.

    Set mid-season three into an alternately timed, pandemic-less season four.

    A 5+1 (but the five is in 2 parts because it got too long).

    Summary

    “It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”

     

    “So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”

     

    or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

    Summary

    “You two are already attached at the hip,” Hen comments, trying to make light of the situation.

    “Well, we’re not attached at the hip in the way I want,” Eddie says without any control and snaps his mouth shut with horror.

    All of the sudden, Eddie finds the ceiling of the ambulance very interesting. Focus on it on the silence that follows.

    “You could blame it on the head injury,” Chim offers.

    -
    Eddie has a concussion. Suddenly he can't lie.
    It would be fine if he wasn't trying his best to not confess his undying love for Buck.

    Summary

    “How are we gonna practice dating if we can't even take the first step?”

    Three hours later, when he was lying in bed staring up at the ceiling, Eddie would not be able to pinpoint with any certainty what possessed him to say what he said next. All he knew was that at the time, it seemed like the perfect answer, the obvious solution.

    “We practice on each other.”

    “Don’t you want to get back out there, though?” Buck asked. “I mean, you kept asking about my couch, but what about you?”

    “I’ve had a couch this whole time,” Eddie countered.

    “A metaphorical couch.”

    “The hell is a metaphorical couch?” Chimney asked Hen and Ravi under his breath, earning only a shrug and raised eyebrows in response.

    Or, Eddie starts dating, makes some friends, makes some realizations, and makes a serious offer.

    Summary

    When Eddie wakes, it’s to Buck’s arm slung across his chest, Buck’s ankle hooked over his, and Buck’s erection pressing into his hip.

    Two out of three of those aren’t unusual.

    It’s six weeks since the lightning. Five weeks and two days since Buck woke up. Four weeks and three days since he was released from hospital. Four weeks exactly since he came home, came to stay at the Diaz house while he recuperates, like he should have from the start.

    It’s been three weeks and four days since they started sharing the bed.

     

    or: Buck hasn't gotten off since the lightning strike. Eddie watches him do something about it.
