  1. Summary

    This series is just an excuse for my word vomit to be put on the internet for everyone else to suffer through as well. I wasn't supposed to create a drabble/one-shot series, because why would I ever want to do that to myself, and yet here I am! This is mostly just writing prompts because head empty, no thoughts. Happy Reading!

    Summary

    After a while, he whispers it, barely louder than the rustle of his sheets.

    A wish, a prayer, maybe it’s a plea.

    I want to know everything.

    It spills out of him in the stillness that follows, not loud, not dramatic, just the quiet truth of it.

    “I wish you’d let me know you. I wish you trusted me with the parts you never show. The fears you don’t name. The secrets you keep buried so deep even you don’t look at them for long.

    I wish I’d known you before life made you flinch. Before war and heartbreak, before your smile got quieter. I wish I’d seen the kid you were, so I could understand how you became the man I’m—

    Buck pauses, the words catching in his throat.

    —the man I’ve fallen in love with, without a shred of logic or timing or self-preservation.

    I wish you’d let me know you.”

    Or; Buck makes a wish and it comes true. So he spends the following twenty four hours with Eddie aging up three years every time he falls asleep.

    Summary

    "Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”

    Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”

    Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”

    “No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”

    Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”

    ——

    Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz is not superstitious, but he is deeply annoyed by Tommy and extremely fond of Buck. What starts as a harmless joke involving a single Etsy spell spirals into candles, jars, and increasingly specific acts of cosmic inconvenience. Somewhere between accidental witchcraft and emotional overinvestment, Eddie realizes this was never just about hexing Tommy—it was about how much he cares about Buck.

    OR:
    Eddie buys an Etsy witch to hex Tommy. This turns out to be the least complicated part of the situation.

    Summary

    “Eddie,” Maddie says. “I know our kids are different ages, and our situations are different, but — it kind of sounds like you need something else besides your kid and work, too.”

    Well, I used to have a best friend, Eddie thinks, then pushes the thought away. “I … I have other things. But Chris and the job are definitely the most central right now.”

    "You know, you can’t put yourself last all the time, Eddie.” She laughs a little. “Straight from my therapist’s mouth to your ears! Ooh — you know what? I’ve got a great idea.”

    “Oh?”

    “You should come to book club. It’s something I do with my parent friends. We take turns hosting, and it’s my turn!”

    Sometimes the best part about reading is getting to learn more about yourself.
