    Summary

    It's simply a story of finding love, maybe where it’s not expected. Two oblivious best friends who slowly work their way through a new normal. But everything in life doesn't always go as planned, does it? Especially for these two.

    He listens as the steps come closer, before halting, hesitating, and then there’s movement again. The sound of jeans being pulled off, and then the low thud of a pile of clothes hitting the floor. Then the comforter is moved back and the bed dips slightly as the body slides in, settling against the pillows next to him. Buck turns on his side, his body gravitating closer on its own, and he can smell rain and the outdoor air on the man’s skin.

    “You smell like rain.” He mumbles hoarsely and feels how the bed moves again as there’s a shift.

    “Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you.” Eddie whispers quietly as he turns on his side as well, facing Buck. His hand is resting between them and when he accidentally nudges Buck’s bicep he feels goosebumps spread over his skin at the cold touch.

    Summary

    He wonders if Buck ever thinks about it.

    The sheets sticking to his damp skin, their sounds of pleasure echoing around the room, Buck telling him all the things he’s thought about doing to Eddie before. How Eddie would let him without question, knowing Buck would still take care of him even when given all the power in the world.

    What this means for himself is something that’s hard to bear thinking about.

     

    Or, Eddie comes to terms with what he deserves.

    Summary

    After the fight in the grocery store, Buck feels like he's causing too much damage so he drops the lawsuit and leaves LA, joining a hotshot wildland firefighter crew out of Montana. He's gone for six months until he gets a call from Chris that something is wrong with Eddie, causing him to race back home only to find a very confused Eddie instead of a hurt or depressed Eddie. Eddie talks him into coming inside for a beer and after that Buck can't bring himself to leave the Diaz boys behind again. But that doesn't mean he's ready to talk to anyone else yet. So they just don't tell anyone else Buck is back. For over two years. Even when they start dating.

    Three years after he left LA and the 118, there's a pileup on the 210 in La Tuna Canyon Park and a wildfire racing towards all the crews scrambling desperately to get everyone out in time, including the 118. Buck's crew is in the right place at the right time, and they don't hesitate to come help.

    Summary

    Andrew Joseph Minyard não era um clichê.
    Ele se recusava a fazer parte das massas de pessoas que caiam nesses conceitos genéricos onde todos se viam envolvidos pelos mesmos gostos e comportamento.
    Ele era diferente das outras pessoas.
    Era um adolescente de quinze anos que se recusava a ser um clichê.'

    Summary

    Eddie didn’t text back in the 20 seconds Buck spent staring at his phone, which was no surprise. There wasn’t any response while he drove to the station, either, but that made perfect sense. Eddie was working today, and he was probably rushing to get there just like Buck was.

    Buck wasn’t in the mood to stare at his phone all day, jumping out of his skin at every notification, so he removed the temptation and, in a spurt of newfound maturity, left his phone in his locker for the duration of his shift.

    But there was no text when he checked around lunchtime, or when they got a lull after dinner. Or in the morning when his shift was over.

    All of that he could easily rationalize away, but after four tortuous days, Buck accepted the fact that he’d been ghosted.

    Summary

    “Does that mean I can finally set you up with someone? Please?” she pleaded, her puppy dog eyes working maybe a little too well.

    Buck is a teacher who is new to LA, and he's ready to settle down. His sister decides to play matchmaker and sets him up with the perfect date.

    Summary

    "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."

    Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"

    "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."

    And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

    ***
    After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

    Summary

    Andrew had been battling with his attraction to Neil since practically the moment they met, and it got harder and harder to keep fighting when his feelings grew at seemingly every single thing his stupid little exy junkie of a best friend did.

    Andrew didn’t particularly care for his own birthday, but the thought that Neil did? That Neil cared enough to put something like this together for him, as dumb as it might be? That he must have spent at least a few hours on this, must have come into school early so that he could put it up before Andrew arrived?

    Summary

    Neil sat alone in the kitchen and wasn’t sure if he could stomach the tea anymore. He’d had over six months to learn that Andrew was very much off-limits, but knowing that didn’t stop the clusterfuck happening in his brain. Because although Neil had never had a crush before he wasn’t stupid, alright? He knows that being jealous of someone else’s relationship has to at least mean something.

    So, yeah. Neil has a crush on his roommate, Andrew Minyard, who just so happens to be dating his other roommate, Kevin Day. The whole thing sounds like the setup to a bad romcom.

    Summary

    Andrew doesn’t do crushes, never has, never will. What he does is the odd hookup when he’s feeling pent-up, preferably in a nightclub bathroom with as much anonymity as he can get.

    So why is he so hung up on those blue eyes and that auburn hair he’s only been able to see from a distance? Why is he feeling almost desperate to be able to talk to this figure skating mystery man?

    Summary

    Andrew teaches modern literature at Palmetto State; he has friends he actually likes, a badass motorcycle, and a rather lovely collection of single malt scotch. He's fine. He's good, even. So what if not a day passes that he doesn't think about a certain blue-eyed menace with a voice like velvet and a penchant for Beatles songs that he knew once upon a time in juvie?

    Summary

    Neil era um fugitivo no sentido mais literal da palavra. Ele fugia desde que podia se lembrar ― seus poucos momentos de coragem durante a infância para proteger seus irmãos não mudavam o que ele era. Ele fugia de absolutamente tudo.
    De seu pai.
    De seu povo.
    De seu reino.
    De sua família.
    De seu Anam.
    De si mesmo.
    Mas fugir não seria uma opção para sempre, não quando seu destino parecia lhe trazer para a porta das pessoas da qual ele corria para proteger.
    Em algum momento, Neil iria ter que parar de fugir e enfrentar de frente aquilo que foi criado para fazer. Em algum momento, Neil teria que aceitar quem e o que ele era.
    E aparentemente, este momento havia, finalmente, chegado.

    Summary

    It’s a community service event at some garden. Some publicity stunt the board wants them to do for good exposure – improving upon the team’s image, Andrew thinks, especially after the events of last year. While the rest of the team reluctantly goes through the motions, no one can top Andrew in his apathy towards it. But when Neil begins to show interest in a certain pet project, Andrew finds himself reacting in ways he never predicted possible.

    Aka: a slice of life with the Foxes where growing is hard, healing is messy, and sometimes words aren’t enough.
