    Summary

    “She hates me,” Eddie tells him, refusing at this juncture to provide any further explanation. Buck will understand. He always does.

    Buck snorts. “Eddie, the cat does not hate you. She’s just weird around men. You know that.” Buck seems to stop whatever task he’s doing, the whirring of what he assumes is Buck’s stand mixer coming to a pause. He hears shuffling as Buck drops himself into a chair, a soft huff escaping him. “What’s going on?”

    Eddie sighs, pushing his chair back and standing—admitting defeat. “I was drinking my coffee at the table, and then she jumped up and got mad that I was there. It’s my table, Buck.” 

    He hears Buck trying to smother a laugh, and he does not appreciate it.

    “She’s a cat, Eddie. She’s settling in—maybe a little bit asserting dominance.”

    Dominance? Buck, it’s my house. She’s a guest.

    OR

    Eddie babysits a cat.

    Summary

    There had always been a thread connecting Buck and Eddie together.

    From the moment they met, it was just BuckandEddie. No space between them. Through every disaster, every close call, every time the world tilted sideways—they felt it. Just an invisible string keeping the two tethered as one.

    Neither of them ever expected that line to break.

    And they certainly never thought it breaking would end with Buck getting swallowed whole by hundreds of pounds of rubble.

    Or a rewrite of 8x18 where the zip line breaks and Buck gets trapped beneath the rubble.

    Summary

    “It has been exactly 44 hours since Buck was informed that he is in love with Eddie, and things are going just peachy.

    For example, he’s about to spend the following 24 hours attached at the hip with Eddie at their shared place of employment. Contractually obligated to be in the same room, same engine, same burning building as him and not be weird about it.

    You might even say he’s contractually fucked.”

     

    Or, Buck realizes he’s in love with Eddie and tries not to be weird about it. He does a terrible job.
