    Summary

    It’s almost like — like Buck’s holding a possible thing in his hands, fragile and fledgling, born too early. It’s not the first time he’s felt this way, with Eddie. It’s happened before, mostly in kitchens.

    “Did that guy tell you the name of the suite he put us in?”

    The corner of Eddie’s mouth lifts. There, Buck supposes, is his answer.

    “Yeah. Honeymooners, huh? Should we tell him about our disaster of a trip?”

    His stomach lurches. God. Eddie’s taking this in stride; Buck should be thankful for it. Instead, he’s afraid he’ll be sick all over their shoes.

    or: a pining buck has to navigate the Emotional Saw Trap that is the road trip back from new mexico. eddie, quite literally, comes along for the ride.

    Summary

    "Hi, what's up?" Buck replies, trying to sound normal and casual and not at all like he's impatient to get his sister out of his house as quickly as possible.

    "Is someone here?" Maddie asks, looking around suspiciously.

    "What? No!" Buck repositions himself across the hall, unnecessarily blocking off the closed bedroom door.

    "Okay."

    "Who would even be here?” Buck laughs nervously and struggles to shove his hands into the too-tight pockets of Eddie's jeans. “You know I'm not doing the hookup thing anymore. What happened last time was way too disastrous."

    ~

    Or, Maddie decides to stop by for breakfast with her little brother, only problem is, his best friend is naked in his bedroom.

    Summary

    Simon’s in his thirties and suddenly unemployed. His old job had its downsides, but he felt useful, full of purpose—and he didn’t have to worry about pesky things like making more than one friend, or minding his personal safety, or even picking out his own clothes (the uniform might have been the best part). Now he’s adrift, and he can’t even talk about it—revealing even an ex-Batman’s secret identity comes with some pretty hefty penalties, after all. But that shouldn’t be a problem—who’s he gonna tell, anyway?

    Summary

    Between the ages of 0 and 31, Buck speedruns the L, T, and B in LGBT. (Eddie will have to take care of the G.)

    .

    “I think my hairline is receding,” Buck says, flinging himself dramatically into a deck chair. “That can happen with testosterone, you know!”

    “I’m all too aware,” Bobby says wryly.

    “Your hair looks great, Cap,” Buck says seriously. “I can only hope to have your follicular density at such an advanced age.”

    “Watch it,” Bobby tells him, and Buck grins up at him.

    “I have to start shaving,” he says. “I’m getting scruffy. Isn’t that awesome? Do you think I could pull off a beard?”
