Summary
Eddie’s not a complete idiot. He knows this isn’t normal. He stands in front of a mirror in his underwear, the tightest pair he owns, and he poses for a picture at an angle he’s learned flatters his ass and the curve of his thigh, to send to his best friend.
He knows this isn’t what most best friends do. He also knows most straight guys don’t spend extensive amounts of time staring at men’s thirst trap accounts, or thinking about how their best friends look half-naked, but…
That’s not what Eddie is focusing on right now. He’s just focusing on feeling good, following the path that sparkles with joy, and refusing to overthink it. If happiness is Buck sending a meme of a guy with a nosebleed back to his shirtless selfie, then that’s what happiness is. Eddie has spent too long denying himself to let this be what stops his journey towards loving himself.
It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to be positive.
It’s not like he’s breaking any commandments, as Father Brian would say.

Summary
And Eddie’s not jealous, of course not, that’s Buck’s thing. He thinks wryly of Tommy and sprained ankles, and an embarrassing fondness fills his chest. Buck’s so— Buck, wholly and completely, and Eddie misses him, is all. But that’s not why he’s doing it, honest. These people don’t appreciate Buck for who he is, not the way Eddie does. He just wants the best for Buck, okay?
***
Eddie brings Christopher home from Texas to find that in his absence, Buck’s started sleeping around.
Eddie is completely normal about that.
(Or, Eddie starts cockblocking Buck. Things escalate from there.)

Summary
“We need to talk,” Josh says.
“About what?” Eddie asks. If he were sober, he might feel at least a little bit bad about the pure incredulity in his tone, but as it is, he’s an unknown number of unknown cocktails deep, and can’t get past the fact that he and Josh literally haven’t spoken since Eddie quit dispatch—including at Maddie’s wedding.
“Tommy,” Josh says.
“Tommy?” Eddie asks.
“Tommy,” Josh confirms, nodding solemnly, "and the fact that you hate him."
Or, Josh and Eddie finally have something in common.

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.

"Though—and I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but since you and Natalia are over with now, I've been wondering…" Maddie pauses, watches Buck make a face like he's bracing to be smacked. "What happened with Eddie?"
Buck stops wincing and just blinks at her for a second. Then he says, "What?"
"You two were dancing around it for so long, and then… what, it just didn't work out? Was the date really that bad?"
She's expecting another wince, or even for him to duck out of the conversation entirely, but instead Buck is staring at her like she's grown a second head. "Maddie. I've never been on a date with Eddie."
-
Or: the poker game was a date. It takes Buck a while to catch on, though.

Summary
Tristan takes the coffee with a muttered thanks, and holds eye contact as he blows on it.
Max is caught halfway between amusement and involuntary arousal. “What’s going on here?” he asks, cautious, aiming for more confused than turned on. He’s already broken the Code with one subordinate; he probably shouldn’t make it two.
“That depends on you,” Tristan says. He sips. Max watches his throat work. “I’ll tell you what I’d like to happen. I’d like you to get on your knees.”

Summary
For a moment he thought he must be dreaming. He shook his head vigorously, but the vision remained.
"I seem to have tweaked my shoulder a bit in the accident. Just some help loosening the laces, if you could."
It's a fucking corset. He's wearing a fucking -
"Of course," said Julian quickly, aware that he'd been too quiet for too long. He sat down behind Garak and untied the bottom of the laces, his surgeon's instincts allowing him to snap into action while his brain was still reeling.
It was plain - utilitarian. None of the decorations or accents that Julian had seen on his other pieces. Somehow, that made it even worse. He doesn't think it's sexy. It's just something he wears.
As the laces began to loosen, Garak rolled his shoulders and sighed a little in pleasure.

Summary
After nine happy months on Cardassia Prime, an unfortunate incident breaks the spell and starts to affect everything in Julian Bashir’s life- from his work, to his relationship, to his plans for the future. He decides to finally take a long-overdue vacation on Earth.
(A post-canon story about enduring friendships, healing, growth, commitment, and finding where you belong.)
CW: This story delves into Cardassia’s legacy of colonialism and violence, and the plot is kicked off by an incident involving xenophobia and sexual assault. It doesn’t happen during the fic, and is only described non-explicitly- but do mind the tag, because it’s referenced often. Chapter-specific warnings are also included.

Summary
Going into shed on a guls-forsaken starbase with a lot of strange Federaji and very few options was never going to be pleasant, Garak knew. But it might not have been quite so bad if Julian hadn't completely forgotten it was coming and left a week ago on the Defiant. Garak, of course, hadn't said a word. It was wartime, after all. There was nothing to be done.
And yet, he couldn’t help but see it as one more sign that Julian was slipping away from him.

So when they both show symptoms of a mysterious illness, it seems they'll now have more time apart to ponder the future of the relationship. Their symptoms worsen, however, and to their shock, they discover there's only one way to effectively and inexplicably ease the pain: getting physically closer and closer - and closer.
