    Summary

    “Am I a bad friend?”

    Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.

    Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.

    Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

    “You know I think about you all the time,
    And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
    And how bad it must have been for you back then,
    And how hard it was to keep it all inside.”

    Summary

    Eddie frowns at her through the rearview mirror. “What do you need to be distracted from?” The traffic in front of them is inching forward and Eddie’s car rolls ahead slowly.

    Gwen lets out a long, slightly shaky breath. “The fact that I just spent a week with my homophobic family and now I’m going to go home and tell my best friend I’m in love with her.”

    Eddie stops a little too suddenly, enough that Gwen’s seatbelt tightens and stops her from flopping forward. “Ah.”

    (or, Gwen just needed a ride to the airport. She didn’t mean to trigger a sexuality crisis in her Uber driver. Oops. )

    Summary

    “You’re Buck’s Babbles, right? That’s your podcast?” Eddie asks. Buck uncrosses his arms as his eyes widen and he steps closer to Eddie. He looks a little stunned.
    “Uh - y-yeah. It is. How - how do you know that? I don’t have any of my social media linked to it,” Buck stutters, stepping closer again. Eddie is peripherally aware of the others staring at them but he can’t break himself out of the bubble they’ve found themselves in. The reason Eddie is standing where he is right now is standing right in front of him. Buck is standing right in front of him.

    or

    The one where Buck has a podcast and helps Eddie before they meet (and Eddie is totally smitten).

    Summary

    Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.

    The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

    Summary

    Loving and being loved by Buck - even if it’s not in all the ways Eddie might want - has changed the very soul of him.

    He’s been shaped and moulded by Buck’s gentle hands. He’s been unbroken by Buck’s patience, and his kindness, and his love. He won’t ever fit someone else the way that he fits Buck, and Eddie is more than okay with that.
