    Summary

    “This isn’t my life!” Buck exclaims. “This is not how it’s supposed to be. Abby is supposed to be gone. She’s supposed to have left. As in, left Los Angeles, not left me to marry Bobby. Bobby’s supposed to marry Athena.”

    “Cap and Athena? But she’s—”

    “Married. Yeah,” Buck huffs. “Like I said, that doesn’t work out.”

    “Because Real Michael is gay?” Eddie asks skeptically.

    “Real Michael is gay,” Buck confirms.

    OR: After his break up with Tommy, Buck falls asleep on Eddie’s couch and wakes up in a world where Bobby is married to Abby, Hen and Karen are divorced, Athena and Michael are faking a happy marriage, Chim has a daughter that is not Buck's niece, and—just to really, personally fuck with him—Eddie and Maddie are engaged to be married.

    Summary

    Buck makes Eddie feel hopeful. He makes him forget himself. He makes him think that there’s a slither of possibility in which Eddie can give everything, can hand over every part of himself in exchange for every part of Buck. It’s a dizzying experience, to doubt yourself so completely and then with a flash of Buck’s smile, want to try, try to throw caution to the wind because Buck would make it so good, easier than anything has ever been before.

    Summary

    “Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.

    The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—

    An olive hits him square in the forehead.

    “There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”

    Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

    Summary

    “Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”

    Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”

    “I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”

    Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

    Summary

    "Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”

    “I’m not leaving you.”

    “What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”

    For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.

    Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.

    Thinking of all the things she would lose.

    OR

    Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.
