    Summary

    “Would you marry me?”

    Eddie stared at him.

    Buck stared back.

    The refrigerator hummed. The monitor hissed faintly. Eddie could hear his own pulse, which seemed dramatic and unhelpful.

    “What?” Eddie said.

    Buck looked down, then back up. “Not like. I mean, legally. For Theo. For the stability thing.”

    Eddie’s mouth had gone dry.

    Buck kept talking. He did that when he was nervous. Built a whole staircase of words and then tried to jump down it. “I know it sounds insane. I know. And I’m not asking because I’m freaking out. I mean, I am always a little bit freaking out, but that’s not why. I’m asking because if I had to pick someone to have legal standing with Theo, someone who already shows up and knows him and knows me, it would be you.”

    Eddie said nothing.

    Buck’s face tightened. “You can say no.”

    “I know.”

    Summary

    This is what has been on Buck’s mind all summer, the thing that he has not allowed himself to want or to think about. Initially it had been not wanting to linger too hard on something that didn’t seem possible. Then– like he’d said to Chris– the fear of inadequacy that still pulses beneath his chest now, beneath Theo’s weight. For all of these reasons, even as recently as a couple of days ago, he’d pushed the thought aside. It was stored deep in the boxes at the back of his mind, in an inaccessible place.

    Now, it’s hanging right in front of him and Theo is wrapped up against him, clinging to him, and–

    “I’ll take him,” Buck says.

    or: the buckley-diaz summer, between the stabbing and buck fostering theo.

    Summary

    “You’ve spent the last twenty-four hours implying that I killed my husband,” Eddie snapped, sounding a little feral to his own ears, “you refused to help me, refused to listen to me, and now you want us to be separated? Would you ask a straight couple to separate? Isn’t it a legally recognised right to be with your partner during times of duress?” Eddie was absolutely lying on that last point, he had no idea if that was true. He knew they couldn’t be called to testify on each other, but, more to the point, they weren’t even married.

    Buck didn’t speak, he stared at Eddie with big eyes, like he was waiting to wake up in some cage all over again.

    “I’ve been through hell today to get him back, I am not leaving him alone with some backwater, homophobic asshole of a police force for another second.”

    “Mr Diaz, I hope you realise I could have you arrested for—”

    “For what? Being rightfully protective? Does your town have the money for a Hollywood discrimination suit? Because his step-mother is an LAPD sergeant and I am feeling extremely litigious.”

    Summary

    Jimin is an omega locked away in a tower.

    Namjoon is the alpha who kidnapped him.

    It's the perfect plan to make Jimin's mate cave to Namjoon's demands.

    It's definitely going to work.

    Any day now…

    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.
