Summary
What if… instead of summoning the Fomorroh, Morgana kept Merlin prisoner? Just so that he could finally answer all her questions. At knifepoint. Until Merlin admits a truth he should have kept to himself…
In doing so, Morgana planned to show Arthur all that he was, except… what if he didn’t experience the disgust she expected? What if Arthur realised all that he had missed?
What if… Merlin suffered only for everything to change upon his rescue?

“I think I know a secret,” Theo says, voice now softened to a whisper.
“Oh, you do?” Theo beckons him forward, so Chris makes a big show of leaning towards him.
“Buck and Eddie make each other happy,” Theo whispers. “They’re married.”
-----
Buck and Eddie are not married. They really should be, though. Chris and Theo help with that.

Summary
“...My husband here is always talking about coming to this restaurant.” Buck holds his breath while waiting for Eddie’s response.
Eddie blushes immediately, “Yeah, I just love the food…” he says, nodding. Buck’s heart skips. He thinks Eddie will leave it at that, but he adds to the lie, “See, we’re celebrating our wedding anniversary tonight.”
(Or, Buck and Eddie keep referring to each other as husbands, it’s undoubtedly nice… They’re not together, no. It’s a best friend thing.)

Summary
Buck notices things more.
Eddie’s always sore lately, rubbing absently at his shoulder or the back of his neck when he thinks nobody’s paying attention. Buck catches him icing his wrist twice in one week and gets waved off both times with muttered excuses about training.
Training for what, Buck has absolutely no idea.

Summary
“I might regret asking this but…” Ian trails off, hesitating until Eddie nudges him, urging him to continue. “Buck,” he says, simply.
Eddie frowns. He doesn’t remember Buck doing anything particularly weird or notable. Hell, he doesn’t even recall him and Ian talking that much. Is that weird? Is Ian worried that he didn’t get the best friend stamp of approval, or something? “What about him? I mean, he can be a little much sometimes, but he mellows out—”
Ian shakes his head. “No. I’m talking about: Buck, your very handsome and very involved best friend, who is also queer...” He trails off again, as if he’s waiting for Eddie to fill in the blank. When he doesn’t, Ian finally says: “Do I have anything to worry about there?”

Or, he does in fact have something to worry about.Series

Summary
The realization goes something like this, as Eddie sits under a flapping rainbow pride flag in the bay of the firehouse and studies its colors.
Red, like his cheeks when Buck smiles at him.
Orange, like the juice he wishes he'd started drinking years ago.
Yellow, like the color of Shannon's dress the day she died.
Green, like the jealousy that strangles him when he thinks about losing Buck.
Blue, like the color of the most beautiful eyes he knows.
Violet, like the bruise blooming on Buck's left cheekbone. Right where Eddie wants to place his lips.
And Eddie thinks, for the first time, that maybe he feels something approaching pride, or something adjacent to it at least, for himself.
Or; In one Pride Month, Eddie meets an old friend, learns about himself, comes out to people who love him and learns to be proud (in roughly that order).

“Sure.” Eddie pushed up from the counter and wandered over to the door. He opened it–
“Surprise!”
And froze.
His mom and dad stood on the porch in front of him, both of them wearing matching grins.
Eddie’s heart dropped onto the floor beneath him.
His parents were here. In Los Angeles. At his front door.
Oh god. They didn’t know. He hadn’t told them that he was gay and in a very serious relationship with a man and living with said man—
Holy shit. Holy shit.
OR: Eddie earns his shield, Buck plans a backyard BBQ, and Eddie's parents, who he isn't out to yet, make a surprise appearance.

Summary
And it’s no different now. Because Buck is a good friend - the best friend Eddie has ever had the privilege of having. He’s been the one sure thing in his and Chris’s lives since they came to LA nearly a decade ago, and the hungry thing in Eddie’s chest that thrives off of each moment spent in proximity to him is spoiled rotten with his easy affection and loving companionship. And that’s enough. It has to be enough, because Buck doesn’t - can’t possibly - feel the same way.

“Merlin has magic!”
It was all that Uther needed— that momentary hesitation in Arthur’s physique... that doubt thrusted upon him ever since the day he had blinked into a world without loving guardians... that silent second of shock emanating from both sides, surrendering to circumstance and fate.
It was all that Uther needed to thrust the sword he had into the sorcerer’s chest.

After the tsunami, Buck moves in with Eddie, determined to help Christopher through the nightmares that follow. Somewhere between midnight talks and quiet mornings, they cross the line from friendship to something else—but Buck learns too late that they’re not on the same page.
One heated argument about what they are, combined with Buck’s discrimination complaint against the LAFD, shatters the fragile thing they’d built. Now they’re not speaking, and Buck’s left wondering if he’s lost Eddie for good.
But when life-altering news drops into his lap, Buck is forced to decide—will he reach for Eddie, or let the distance between them become permanent?

Summary
Buck licked his lips, his next words coming out broken and pitiful. “Can you kiss me?”
Eddie tilted his head and kissed the corner of Buck’s jaw. “Here?” He asked playfully.
He made a considering noise, “Or, how about…here?” He said, then kissed the opposite side of Buck’s face, chastely pecking his cheek.
“Or, I know,” He teased, “Here,” He said, so tenderly that Buck’s chest cracked open wide, splitting neatly down the middle. He pressed his lips to the spot above Buck’s left brow, right where his birthmark was. Buck’s eyes fluttered shut, giving Eddie access to kiss where his birthmark continued under his brow.
Or, the one where Buck finds out he's pregnant after Eddie has left for El Paso, and messiness ensues.

Summary
"But here's the problem—it's not like I know that many people who I think would be okay with donating sperm," he says. "How do you even start the conversation. Hi! I'm Buck Buckley, can I have your baby?"
Eddie snorts. "Yeah," he says. "That's pretty much it isn't it?" He asks, laughing. "Most awkward conversation ever." He sighs. "But it makes sense why you'd go to someone you know, plus then, you kinda know what to expect."
Buck laughs as well, leaning back forward and looking up at Eddie. "Why, you volunteering?" He teases, keeping his eyes fixated on Eddie.
Eddie looks back at him, and Buck's sure he's going to call his bluff when he says. "Yeah. Maybe I am," he says.
or
Buck decides it's time for him to take a huge step in his life.
Eddie helps (kind of).

Summary
"That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."
Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."
"I do know that."
"You don't."
"Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."
Or,
Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.Series

Summary
“I'm bi.”
Raising his eyes to the rest of the team, Eddie is surprised to find them all staring at him, jaws dropped in disbelief.
So much for warm support.
“What?” Hen finally asks, genuine confusion stamping her face.
“I'm bi,” he says again, more confident… or something like it. “I've been doing some soul searching since Nashville and…” he nods to himself, a shy smile stamping his face as he looks up to his team, “I guess I’m finally ready to share this with you guys.”
They, however, do not share in his whimsy.
“You're joking.” Ravi deadpans.
Or: Eddie comes out wrong—but luckily the rest of the 118 is there to drop kick him out of the closet.
