Summary
“Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.
The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—
An olive hits him square in the forehead.
“There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”
Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

Summary
And so the traitor Agravaine lay dead, and the witch vanished, leaving the wreck of war and strife behind them. Arthur Pendragon, son and heir to Uther and now king, took to wife Guinevere and held in company his noble knights. His faithful servant, Merlin, remained close at his side as was their wont. And with these companions, Arthur set forth to rebuild his kingdom, facing not only the doubts of those who misliked his youth and choice of wife, but his own qualms, for he knew that he had been taken in by the sweet words of his uncle and sister and had not seen their treachery until the hour was almost too late. Ere peace could come to his kingdom, he must find a way to heal the wounds that had cut so deeply into his own heart.

Summary
Lionel is the first, approaching Merlin one late summer afternoon as the sun slants through the dust in the stables and turns the air into heavy fire.
I mourn, now that your house contains
such fractured shadows.
This wine you’ve handed me
tastes sour. I joke and you do not laugh.
When you speak, assuming my approval,
I stare into discoloured
depths of my glass, longing
to get away...

Summary
“Remember how Ravi said I needed to get laid?” Buck asks at last.
Karen gasps, her hand coming to cover her mouth in shock. “Buck. You didn’t,” she sighs.
“What, you—” Hen looks like she can’t believe her ears, shaking her head. “You slept with your future nanny during the interview?
“That’s highly unprofessional,” Karen adds with a concerned frown.
Okay. Well. Maybe Buck shouldn’t have started there. “No! I— It was before, okay?”
Hen squints her eyes, trying to understand. “So, this man turns up to your house, you say hi, you have sex, and then you start asking about his former employers’ references?”
Or: Buck needs a nanny. Eddie is desperatly looking for a job. They might end up finding more than they asked for.

Summary
Running to the frontlines from a childhood he never had. Taking a bat to the wall with his son in the next room. Having an affair with the spitting image of his dead wife.
Eddie knows he’s never been good at grieving, knows he’s never been good at losing what little he allows for himself in the first place. This is why he also knows his coping mechanisms can’t possibly get any worse.
Buck, as he so often does, makes him reevaluate his assumptions.

Summary
Eddie pressed a cotton pad soaked in disinfectant tight against the wound, and while Buck had been through far worse, it was easier to show his pain around Eddie.
He let out a short cry, leaning forwards slightly and grabbing onto Eddie’s shoulder before he could spare it a second thought. He needed something to hold onto, something warm and steady and real to remind him he was okay.
“I’m sorry, I know,” Eddie soothed him quickly, and clearly went to pat Buck’s hand but found himself with no free limbs. He glanced about for a moment, then lowered his head to press a quick kiss to the back of Buck’s hand. “Almost done, then you can sleep”

“Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”
Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”
“I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”
Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

Summary
Dear Eddie,
You probably have a lot of questions. I’ll get to answering them later. But first, let me paint you a picture.
Imagine a little child, growing up in the depths of suburban Pennsylvania. They have no real friends, only their older sister. They have plenty of toys that were once said sister’s, including a collection of Barbies.
Among these Barbies is a singular Ken. The child pays special attention to him. While their parents are wondering why the child isn’t obsessed with changing the Barbies into a thousand and one dresses, they take a pink marker and draw a birthmark on the side of Ken’s left eye. They keep Ken hidden from everyone else and only bring him out when no one’s around, to look at him long and hard, mesmerized.
If you haven’t guessed yet, I am that child.
____OR Buck just wants to finally have an established partner in field at the 118. He doesn't expect the new hire to be the guy he'd dated back in college, before he dropped out and came out.

Summary
When it comes to his heats, Eddie has a ritual.
For three quarters of the year, he takes heat suppressants to block them. No matter how good of a liar he is, people would figure out the truth pretty quickly if Eddie was taking a full week off every three months.
But once a year, Eddie forces himself to use his sick leave and fully experience a heat. It serves as a reminder that he’ll never be the beta everyone else believes him to be, and he’ll certainly never be the alpha his parents prayed for.Eddie has lived his whole life with the knowledge that there's something wrong with him. Not only was he born an omega, but he's also never had the desire to be claimed by an alpha or even spend his heats with one.
He's also spent years hiding the truth from everyone, his best friend included. But when he moves in with Buck and realizes his heat is coming soon, he can't hide the truth for much longer.Series

Summary
This is the part he’s not good at. Sex is easy - just bodies and instinct and new discoveries. It’s always the conversations afterward where things go wrong. Buck says something dumb or asks for too much, and sooner or later he ends up alone again. It hurts every time, but he always climbs out of the crater of self-pity eventually. With Eddie, though… watching Eddie slowly pull away from him might actually kill him.
As Eddie's heat winds down, he and Buck both still have lessons to learn about communication.
