    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

    Buck knows Theo loves Eddie. What he tries very hard not to think about is how much he loves Eddie too.

    A bedtime crisis, a late-night visit to the 118, and one unexpectedly domestic morning later, Buck finds himself running out of reasons not to say the things he’s been keeping to himself for years.

    Or, the one where Theo gets his goodnight, and Buck gets everything he’s always wanted.

    Summary

    He stands, frozen, at the foot of the bed, and watches as Eddie parents his child.

    When did that happen? he wonders, a buzzing alarm set loose in his head. The knowledge of it– the feeling that comes with it– crashes over him.

    Eddie glances up, all dark eyes and warm concern when he’s the one in the hospital bed, and oh–

     

    Buck loves him.

    or: eddie gets hurt, theo has a crashout, and buck has a realization, in that order.

    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

    The doctor tilts her head to the only source of warmth in the cold, hospital room. “And who’s he?”

    Buck’s eyes drift to Eddie, hungry for the sight of him. They fall upon the tense line of Eddie’s shoulders, the firm press of otherwise plump lips, watching like the very air in his lungs depend on Buck’s answer.

    “That’s Eddie,” Buck answers, and the smile sneaks up on him. “Eddie Diaz. My partner.”

    There. Relief washes through Eddie in a visible wave: his shoulders drop, features relaxing with the soft push of an exhale. Buck warms at the sight. Right answer.


    A polysemy is a word with multiple, related meanings. The word partner, for example, can mean close friendship, a teammate, a co-parent. To someone else, it can also mean a lover.
