    Summary

    “Buck,” Eddie says and he must sound some sort of way because Buck’s tone switches immediately. 

    “Is everything okay?” 

    Eddie wants to say no, that this is d-day level bad, but it’d be a lie. It’s not bad at all, just nerve wracking, just new.  “Yeah, everything’s fine. My sisters are here.” 

    “Both of them? Adriana and Sophia?” Buck asks, voice matching Eddie’s level of shock. “In California?” 

    “In my house, right now,” Eddie responds. “Apparently Christopher invited them without telling me.” 

    “Oh, Eddie,” he whispers empathetically. 


    Or Eddie's sisters come to visit their nephews and help him discover a new perspective.

    Summary

    Shane knows his mother would love him if he left the Metros, but he also knows that he could never give her a reason good enough for him to do so. She'd have an excuse, have a reason, have a way to make any event be something he could handle or deal with. They could probably make him commit murder, and she'd brush it off, let alone if Shane finally got tired of the weirdly racist and definitely homophobic comments that got made daily.

    Summary

    “You know you don’t have to do this,” Harris said as they walked from the car to the arena, Chiron prancing along in front of them.

    “I’m doing it,” Troy said.

    “Okay. But you don’t have to.”

    “Harris. I’ll survive reading whatever weird, dirty tweets you found,” Troy argued. “You think I’ve never seen thirst tweets?”

     

    In which the Centaurs read thirst tweets and it goes about how you'd expect.

    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov came out to you as bisexual earlier this year,” Harris said, like he was trying to make sure he got his facts straight. “And you didn’t mention it to your boyfriend.”

    “I couldn’t just out him,” Troy said. “Also you weren’t my boyfriend yet. And I had a lot going on, okay?”

    Harris stared.

    “And he sort of told me about…?” Troy said, gesturing at the phone. “I mean, I sort of asked, and he didn’t say that it wasn’t, uh, happening. I don’t know. I guess I forgot about it.”

    Harris flopped backward on the bed, both hands over his face.

    “How,” he said. “Did you forget.”

     

    A very fluffy fic in which Harris Drover is all of us. Takes place toward the end of The Long Game & has MAJOR spoilers for that book.

    Summary

    “You didn’t like it the last time we tried it,” Shane said.

    Ilya gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Was years ago. Maybe it is an acquired taste, like licorice.”

    “You also don’t like licorice,” Shane pointed out.

    “Yes, but I keep trying it because Luca likes it so much.”

    “And then you make a face and tell him how awful it is.”

    “When have I ever told you your dick is awful?” Ilya said, looking mildly offended. “I am its number one fan.”
