Summary
"How does Sunday at seven sound?"
"Perfect," Eddie manages around a tongue that he's certain is three times as big as it usually is.
"Great, I'll pick you up. Send me your address?" Ian smiles again, and Eddie thinks he might have a heart attack. He has no idea what he says in response, but it must be adequate, because Ian gives him a little wave and says he'll see Eddie on Sunday, and as soon as he disappears from sight, Eddie slumps back against one of the open ambulance doors, stunned.
"Huh. So that's why he's not dating May," comes Ravi's voice from behind him, and Eddie does not yelp. He doesn't.

Summary
Eddie is fluid, loose-limbed and pink-cheeked with the top three buttons of his shirt undone and his feet are matching the steps of the rest of the crowd on the dance floor with zero hesitation, and Buck is—
Buck is mesmerized. Captivated. His stupid drunk eyes won't leave the line of Eddie's torso as he steps and spins and grins, and so Buck is helpless to do anything other than keep tripping over his own feet, three, four, five steps behind, distracted by the music and the shine of sweat on Eddie's cheekbones.

Summary
Something's going on here. And Buck sure isn't helping, what with his incessant gazing out the window to where he can see Hen and Eddie collapsing into giggles in each other's arms, Hen grinning widely and Eddie now stripped down to his tank. God, his arms are huge, now. When did that happen? And why didn't Buck notice sooner? Why did he have to notice at all?
Things were way better before Buck realized he wanted to sink his teeth into his best friend's biceps and lick the sweat off his neck and eat him out until he cried.
(Or, Chris notices something off about Buck and calls him out on it.)

Summary
"Ididn'thateit," he admits in a rush. There. He said it. The guy—Zane. Right. Zane's eyes had flicked over to him, appreciative. Appraising. Unsubtle. Brazenly obvious as he'd checked Eddie out, and Eddie's belly had gone hot, his skin crackling with electricity, and he'd gulped at the shockingly intense physical reaction his body was having and could think nothing except for I need to get out of here.
He has no excuse. No explanation.
"Oh," Buck says. "I didn't, um. That's—that's cool, if you. Do you, or, uh. I won't call them, but if you want, I can give you his number?"
"No," Eddie says, too fast.

Summary
Shane definitely doesn't look okay. As he heads to his still-made bed, Hayden catches a glimpse of his eyes. They look bloodshot and strained, and as Shane tears through his duffel bag and grits out, "I'm taking a shower," Hayden hears the rasp in his voice.
"Shane."
"What," Shane snaps, yanking off his shirt. Then he freezes, holding onto it with both hands like he's only realized what he's been wearing, and says with equal vehemency, "Fuck," and flings it toward the headboard. "Fuck!" He says again, louder.
(Or, Shane gets back to his hotel room after running away from Ilya's place in Boston and panics. Hayden is also there.)

Summary
centaurs ✅
[picture] The middle of the Ottawa-Buffalo game. In front of a net, Ilya Rozanov is on one knee on the ice, flanked by two Buffalo players, stick outstretched toward Shane Hollander who has the puck on his stick.
CENS WIN
OTT 5 FINAL 1 BUF
[video, 15 seconds]
The post-game press line, Ilya Rozanov sweaty and shirtless, a mic held in front of his face.
ESPN reporter: Ilya, what an amazing assist in the second period power play. You were literally swiveling on one knee avoiding two defensemen, and sliding the puck to Hollander to score.
Rozanov (grinning): Well, sometimes you have to go down on one knee for your man, you know.
[Caption] Married life #Cens style: scoring goals with your husband!
Or: During Shane's first season in Ottawa, Ilya keeps breaking the internet with his interviews and shenanigans. The internet, predictably, keeps losing its shit.

Summary
When Eddie heard the words as he was walking through the engine bay, he nearly tripped over his own feet.
“I mean, not to be thirsty on main, but I kind of want him to choke me out with those thighs.”

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
Chris remembers, suddenly, the days after his mom died, the feeling of dread that lingered under his skin. The way it slowly bubbled up, over the years, until he couldn’t be this kid anymore, this kid who could look at the world and not see danger in every corner. He wishes that Theo will never be like that. He knows, living with a first responder, that the odds of him turning out any other way are against him.
“Hey, Theo,” he says suddenly, the words spilling from his lips without permission. “Do you think Buck is your dad?”
Christopher isn't sure how he feels about Theo, or what he means for him and Buck. When they're caught up in a disaster alone, he has plenty of time to figure it out.
