Summary
"That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."
Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."
"I do know that."
"You don't."
"Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."
Or,
Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.Series

Summary
“I'm bi.”
Raising his eyes to the rest of the team, Eddie is surprised to find them all staring at him, jaws dropped in disbelief.
So much for warm support.
“What?” Hen finally asks, genuine confusion stamping her face.
“I'm bi,” he says again, more confident… or something like it. “I've been doing some soul searching since Nashville and…” he nods to himself, a shy smile stamping his face as he looks up to his team, “I guess I’m finally ready to share this with you guys.”
They, however, do not share in his whimsy.
“You're joking.” Ravi deadpans.
Or: Eddie comes out wrong—but luckily the rest of the 118 is there to drop kick him out of the closet.

Summary
Buck was standing where Eddie had left him. The other man was already talking, something low and instructive, and Buck was listening with an expression that was pleasant and gave nothing away. A whole face full of nothing.
But before the door swung shut, Buck glanced over.
One look. The kind you gave when you weren't supposed to and gave anyway. Eddie held it for exactly as long as he could, which was not long at all.
The door closed. The carpet changed back.
"Buck was nice," Chris said.
"He was," Eddie said.
They walked back toward the Third Class sections without further discussion.
Or,
A Buddie Titanic AU

Summary
We all know how a small twist of fate can redesign the way a story is supposed to go. How one small act can reform reality into something almost unrecogniseable.
So what would happen, if through one of these miniscule changes, Merlin never becomes Arthur's manservant? What if these two sides of the same coin, oblivious idiots, are never forced into close proximity to one another? What if, bound by fate, they live parallel lives within the walls of camelot
Will destiny rewrite itself? Or force itself upon us?
Or
Arthur falls in love with the physician's apprentice without being made aware of that fact himself. Merlin is just trying to prove the stupid dragon wrong. Gwen was not prepared for any of this, and Morgana is happy to cause chaos. Leon technically did sign up for this, but in his defense, he didn't read the fine print. Gaius is desperately clinging on to the last remains of sanity in Camelot.
Oh, and did I mention that there's a 'mysterious' sorcerer offering Uther unwanted advice? Because that happens too.
