    Summary

    “She said she wasn’t worried about us breaking up.”

    Oh. Well. That was pretty definitively a thing that people said about partners who were together romantically.

    “Say something,” Buck instructed.

    “What?”

    “Anything,” Buck said, his voice wavering on the word. Which was—it was weird, right? Why was Buck so shaken by a throwaway comment?

    Or maybe the better question was why wasn’t Eddie? If either of them was going to get freaked out by the assumption that he was dating a man, it would make more sense for it to be Eddie, who was straight, and not Buck, who had, in fact, already dated men.

    “Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”

    -----

    Buck and Eddie get shaken up by a comment from Theo’s social worker, and then by a magnitude 7 earthquake; it turns out, some disasters are better than others.

    Summary

    When a group of Sophomores notice Mr. Buckley and Mr. Diaz act far too close to be just coworkers, or even just best friends, they do what any rational group of high schoolers would do: launch a full scale, covert tactical investigation into their teachers' living arrangements.
    Code names are assigned.
    Dossiers are compiled.
    Carpool schedules are analysed with mathematical precision.
    It’s a flawless operation.

    Right up until the moment Buck and Eddie find out.

    Summary

    It goes like this. They are bored, capital B and all. Eleven hours with zero calls. Inventory perfected. Stocking and restocking absolutely fucking devoured. Kitchen polished — even behind the fridge. Naps taken. Several games of Spades lost. Reality TV binged. And then— Then Hen finds the Kool-Aid pouches left over from one of the station’s Halloween community events last year. And Buck? Buck stares at his Blue Raspberry pouch and gets an idea.

    ___

    Or playing Never Have I Ever during a slow shift goes as well as you can probably expect.

    Summary

    St. Anthony’s was his last chance, and Evan knew that. He had been kicked out of five schools in the past six years, and after his sophomore year ended with a meeting between his parents and his last headmaster that could be summarized with: “we’re not kicking him out, but just know that Evan is not welcome back in September.” His parents wanted to send him to military school.

     

     

     

    Evan knew he couldn’t survive military school, that would be his last drop, the one that finally shattered the vase. He couldn’t be the type of person that would be able to put himself back together once they broke him down.

     

     

    This had to work.

    . . .

    Buck is the new kid in an El Paso boarding school, trying his best to stay out of trouble. Eddie is a rockstar (in the world of high school popularity) he's captain to the football team, he's dating the most popular girl in school, and looking at a full ride sports scholarship in the fall. He should feel like he won at life, which is why he doesn't understand why the only time he feels alive is when he catches a glimpse of the new guy on the running team.

    Or in simpler terms: Buddie high-school AU!

    Summary

    Eddie practically raised his sisters, always putting their needs above his own, even at great personal cost. Now, years later, and recovering from being shot, he’s still struggling to put himself first. When Sophia arrives for a surprise Christmas visit, she brings with her long-forgotten memories and reminders of the sacrifices Eddie has made—hoping to help her brother finally realize that he, too, deserves happiness.
    Apparently, this comes with realizing that maybe him and Buck have deeper connections than they originally thought...
