Summary
He’s not new to Eddie’s feelings. He knows them like the back of his hand, has watched Eddie bury so much throughout the years until it all came boiling out like hot lava. He was there when the volcano erupted, watched as Eddie’s life fell apart around him. Thought he’d be the one to help pick up the pieces, but that wasn’t a role Eddie seemed to want him to take.
When Eddie made the decision to go to Texas, the ground opened up and Buck fell straight in. He feels like he’s been clawing his way out ever since. Eddie made so many decisions without even talking to Buck, and he knows he doesn’t have a right to Eddie’s every waking thought, he just thought Eddie would want to share those things with him, the same way he wants to share everything with Eddie.
Sometimes he thinks he’s still trapped in that kitchen.

Summary
Steve kisses him on a Thursday and he takes all the air in the room with him. Eddie doesn’t close his eyes. He’s too shocked to do much of anything, except sit there and let Steve take his face in those big hands and caress a thumb over his cheek while he presses their lips together. Eddie’s pretty sure he doesn’t move at all, glued to his spot on the couch, as if time has continued on around him while he’s stuck there.
And something turns in Eddie’s gut.

Summary
Steve’s always been generous with gifts. Growing up, he had access to money that allowed him to dote upon his friends and loved ones. His ex hated it, said he was flaunting his money, but Steve just liked showing people he cared. It wasn’t about the price of the gift, it was about how he listened and remembered their interests. It just benefited him that he never had to worry about the cost.
There’s no way he’s going to let this year be the first year he lets someone down.

Summary
He doesn’t remember the family that used to live here. It’s on the side of town he doesn’t venture to often. No one’s seen or heard from the Harringtons in years. Gareth’s mom got this look on her face when they brought it up. Said the man that owned the house was cruel and that she went to high school with the mom, but wouldn’t say much else. They tried to do some research on the place, but the only thing Eddie found was the property record for one Richard Harrington.
It’s hard to say whether anything sinister happened in the places they visit. It’s even harder to know if those sinister things are keeping spirits from moving on. They can do all the research they want on a place, but it doesn’t unlock all the secrets within. That’s the part that fascinates Eddie. That something could’ve happened in these places and maybe they’ll be the ones to unearth it.

Summary
Eddie keeps hearing strange sounds coming from the woods. Whispers on the wind that sound like chanting. His job as an overnight groundskeeper for the local cemetery doesn’t pay him well enough to deal with supernatural shit. He's convinced the woods are haunted.
There's something there, ghostly or otherwise. Eddie knows he's not crazy. And then the bodies start moving.

Summary
“Did you know,” Eddie interrupts, “That Buck is my partner?” He can’t feel his lips, but he’s determined to drive home the point, regardless of sloppy speech. “Yeah, we’re like this.” Eddie makes a show of crossing his pointer and middle fingers, wagging them in front of the surgeon’s face. “So you can’t take him, Jodie Foster.” He shakes his head emphatically, ungelled hair flopping into his already-blurred field of vision. “Buck ain’t for sale.” Eddie mimics her Southern inflection beautifully. “Capiche?”
“Eddie,” Buck hisses when someone on the far end of the room snorts into their paperback, then covers it up with a cough. “Excuse him, he’s totally kidding.” He glances at the surgeon guiltily. “I think.”

Summary
“Theo? Can you tell me what’s wrong?”
“He didn’t come home.” He stutters his way through the sentence, like it’s the scariest thing he’s ever said. Like he’s forcing himself to say it but doesn’t understand why it’s so scary, just that it is. Josh frowns at the screen in response. Tentatively types, possibly abandoned.
Jesus. What the hell is wrong with people these days?
“Who didn’t come home, Theo? Your dad?”
Theo, 5. Child in distress. Possibly abandoned.
The radio crackles with acknowledgment as Theo exhales shakily. It’s wet, like he’s building up all the courage his little body has to offer. “My Buck.”
--
Or, Theo calls 9-1-1 because Buck doesn't come home after he gets hurt on a shift.

Summary
Eddie turned back to Buck, who was still standing completely frozen in place. His eyes were wide, his mouth slightly open, and the only thing that had changed was the hand now resting against his lips, like he was trying to understand whether he had really just felt Eddie's mouth against his.
“Buck, baby, look at me,” Eddie whispered.
He reached for Buck's hand and gently pulled it away from his face, holding it between both of his own. Slowly, those familiar blue eyes finally met his brown ones. For a second, the whole world seemed to stop.
“I’m sorry I did that so out of the blue,” Eddie said, his thumb brushing over Buck's knuckles. “But, honestly? I’ve been holding this in for a year and a half.”
“What do you mean, Eddie?” Buck asked. There was hope in his voice. A fragile kind of hope. But there was a slight tremble there too, like he was afraid to believe what he was hearing.or: Eddie Diaz feels so domestic and loved that he forgets he and Buck are not boyfriends.

Summary
Coming out is a scary prospect. Especially when you're thirty four, chronically emotionally repressed, and in no uncertain terms deeply in love with your best friend (i.e. the intended recipient of said coming out). And it's with that in mind that Eddie gives himself a rare moment of grace, accepting that maybe it was the colossal weight of this emotional distress, and not his own personal failure that led him to develop his worst idea yet - a practice run.
Or; Eddie practices coming out with his new favorite four-year-old. It doesn't go well, or maybe it goes a little too well.

Summary
When Buck, a Paralympic sprinter, agrees to go on Dancing With the Stars, he wonders if he's just made the worst decision of his life. But his love life is dead, his social life even more dead, and he doesn't know what to do with his life in the aftermath of the Paralympics, so why not jump headfirst into this opportunity?
Eddie has been a professional dancer on the show for years, but after a recent divorce and a disappointing showmance, he's fallen out of love with his job, with dancing, with himself. He has no hope for the next season, until he meets one Buck Buckley.
The pair feel an instant connection, but will it be enough to see them through the trials and tribulations of the next eleven weeks?
