Summary
Buck steps closer again. "Christopher received a tattoo. Onto his face. A big one. I believe it is of the Spiderman."
"A tattoo of—"
Eddie cuts himself off, thinking back to exactly what Chris had been doing at school today. And then promptly bursts into loud laughter, lurching forward slightly with the intensity of the sound.
Buck makes a surprised noise, something sharper than a human can, like tinkling glass, and startles back slightly. "Eddie tattoos are dangerous for young humans! I researched! Why are you laughing?"
"It's not—" Eddie cuts himself off, laughing harder, and stumbles forward to grab Buck's shoulder, over the fabric of his shirt. "It's not a tattoo, Buck. It's face paint."
Alien!Buck learns about washable paint. Him and Eddie explore watercolors.

Summary
Eddie closes the distance between him and the omega, staring down at him for a moment before dropping into a crouch. He can feel gazes on him, and forces his eyes to be cold. His voice to be colder. “You want to know what I want from you?”
The omega’s expression flickers a bit, before closing off. “Yes. Anything you want, sir.”
Eddie reaches out in a single smooth action, snagging the collar around the omega's neck and pulling him forward by the grip. The omega's eyes widen, visibly startling as he nearly topples forward, only to be caught by Eddie's other hand against his shoulder, leaving his mouth inches from the omega's ear. Close enough to whisper,
“I'm not here to hurt you. I'm not here to be serviced. I just want you to sit quietly under the table and do nothing. No hands, no mouth. Nothing. I won’t touch you. I promise.”

Reluctant crime boss Eddie unintentionally ends up entangled in an omega trafficking network where he is forced to bluff his way through using one of the products. He expects it to be a one time thing. Somehow, it ends up being so much more.

Summary
Buck and Eddie are both hybrids. Buck has ears and a tail. Eddie has... a lot more.
(Buck learns Eddie has a knot, and not two hours later, buys himself a knotting dildo. It's maybe just a bit too big. He's maybe just a bit too eager.)

Summary
It’s one of the rare occasions where Buck has a day off work that Eddie doesn’t also take off, and Eddie is…. fine with that.
Totally fine.
Buck is spending the day with his boyfriend, allowing them to have a full seventy two hours off shared together, and frankly, Eddie has seen enough of the two of them as a couple. He doesn’t need to be there.
Only, a few hours into the shift, Eddie gets a call from Tommy.
Just Tommy.
=//=//=//=//=
Something’s wrong with Buck.

Summary
It’d be good for Buck to have another cat around him. If Bobby’s lucky, Eddie’s mellow temperament would rub off on his crazy orange menace and make him less of a terror.
Of course, that was delusional of him to hope so. If anything, the two were even worse together.
Buck pawing at people’s legs as a distraction while Eddie stole something off their plate. Buck dragging gloves or socks into Bobby’s office like trophies while Eddie followed behind to drop the stolen items into Bobby’s trash can. Napping in the most random places and therefore forcing everyone to check the engine every time just in case they were inside. Following people around and plopping down belly up at their feet like two meowing speed bumps. Knocking random stuff off the shelves.
Just last week, the two had stepped on the PA mic, Buck broadcasting a steady stream of purrs and random meows throughout the entire firehouse until Hen found Eddie serenely perched on the button.
Bobby somehow ended up adopting not one, but two demonic cats.

Summary
Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.~~
or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

Summary
The words hit the back of Buck’s neck and slid down his spine with the drops of the cold sweat collecting in the small of his back. The weight on Buck’s chest was an echo of what it used to be but still as suffocating as before when those words whirled around on repeat every time someone looked too long, looked too closely.
“He’s fine,” Hen had said to Bobby that day he’d come in sporting a bruise on his face and lying through his teeth about some bullshit with a bicycle.
The day Hen had lied for him too.
