    Summary

    Because she always wants to hear everything from Emily. Except, apparently, this.

    “I met someone.”

    Andy blinks. Once. Twice.

    Her fingers tighten fractionally around the stem of her wine glass. She swallows. Pulls in a breath that feels strangely shallow in her lungs.

    “That’s great, Em,” she means to say immediately. Brightly, effortlessly. “Tell me everything.”

    Instead, what comes out is small and terribly honest.

    “Oh.”

    Summary

    "That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."

    Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."

    "I do know that."

    "You don't."

    "Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."

    Or,
    Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.

    Summary

    “It’s too much,” Buck whispers, his body tensed like it’s ready to snap. “Losing Bobby. Losing you. Feels like… like everything is falling apart. I don’t… I can’t do it.”
    “I get it,” Eddie says. He tightens his hold on Buck, thumb searching until it finds the pulse thrumming in his neck. Buck’s heart is still beating. He hasn’t lost him, not yet, and he can fix whatever’s broken between them—will fix it, no matter the cost. “But what does that have to do with Tommy?”
    Buck’s jaw shifts, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. “It’s the only time the thoughts stop. When he… when he…” he stiffens, trying to pull away, but Eddie can’t have that. With his free hand, he snags a handful of Buck’s shirt.
    “Say it,” Eddie whispers, jealousy and misery and desperation all curling together in his gut.
    It doesn’t matter that he has no right to claim Buck as his. It doesn’t matter that following his impulses never leads to anything good. All that matters is that Buck is here with him right now, and Eddie isn’t going to let him go.

    In an alternate universe, Buck goes back to Tommy after losing Bobby. Eddie finds out and they fight while trying to process their grief.

    Summary

    "It’s new, yes, and terrifying, but I feel a changed man, steady and bright. Oh, how your magic thrills me.” 

    Todd folded the paper up once again and looked up, eyes searching. They found Neil’s, locking, asking some sort of question, and Neil almost forgot how to breathe. His heart was pounding rapidly, almost painfully so. Incredible. That was incredible.

    Todd’s eyes finally left his as the other boys gathered around him, cheering. The light of the fire danced across his face. 

    “Todd Anderson, everybody!” Charlie cheered. “What a man! A czar of romance, if I do say so myself.” 

    “Yeah, Todd, tell the people who that lovely sonnet was about!” Meeks clapped him on the back. 

    “Not a sonnet, idiot,” Knox cut in. “All the same, who’s the lucky girl, Todd?” 

    Oh.

    If Neil hadn’t been able to breathe before, he sure couldn’t now. He’d been so lost in the language. He hadn’t even considered the clear implications.

    “A summer love?” Knox proposed eagerly. 

    “Something like that," Todd said quickly, and Neil's stomach dropped.

    -

    Todd reads one of his own poems aloud for the first time at a meeting. Neil, convinced it's for a girl, spirals.
