Summary
"A now-familiar rage boils up in Eddie's chest, and he shakes out his limbs, baring his teeth in relief when they call his name again.
He'd been slated for three fights tonight, and this is his last one. Sweat is rolling down his back, and his body is probably going to ache in the morning, but he can't feel any of it yet because of the adrenaline.
Not only as he already fought twice tonight, he'd also won both matches, and he doesn't feel like stopping. His limbs are still loose, there's energy still sparking through his veins, and the fury that he's been trying to expel all night is still firmly settled behind his breastbone, tendrils winding up his throat as if to choke him.
He almost feels bad for whoever he's about to climb into the ring with."
Or, one night sets Eddie on a whole new path.

Summary
Ever since they flew into the heart of a hurricane to search for the cruise ship lost at sea, which happened to be the one their captain and his wife were on, Buck has had own storm of jealousy brewing inside him. Between a girlfriend and a new best friend, Eddie never seems to have any time for him anymore. Is he being selfish wanting Eddie to pay attention to him? Bouncing around him like an overeager puppy screaming look at me, look at me? Maybe. He knows his abandonment issues can turn pretty ugly. But maybe he can get somewhat of a handle on things with a bit of self-reflection, and maybe learn a few new things about himself.
On top of everything, someone might be trying to kill him.

Summary
The 118 finally learn why Buck is the way he is. Their theory of a cult or a conversion camp was way off. Somehow, though, the reality of being a demi-god isn’t much better.
Buck thought they’d be happier to learn he wasn’t part of a cult.
****
(i.e. The 118 all struggle with the revelation in different ways. Bobby crashes out learning the Gods exist, Athena’s still wanting justice for Buck’s dead childhood and if Eddie was worried about Anna being a nun, he has no idea how to cope with the literal son of a deity.)
****
Part of a series Hearth and Home, Buck is a demi-god, blessed by Hestia.

Summary
Buck's woodworking breakup hobby was short-lived. But he did manage to make one thing that was decent: a Little Free Library. Little did he know, it would bring him something much more exciting than his neighbors' spare books.
A rom com-inspired AU
-
“So, basically, you have a crush,” Maddie says with a smirk.
“What? No! I’ve never had a conversation with him! Hell, I don’t even know what the guy looks like!” Buck insists, turning back to the pasta sauce that’s simmering on the stove. “I’m just saying he has really good taste in books, okay?”
Maddie raises a disbelieving eyebrow. “Really good taste, and really queer taste…”
“And?” Buck scoffs. “There are plenty of ugly, awful gay men in Los Angeles. I just got dumped by one.” He spoons out a bit of the marinara and holds it out to Maddie. “Here, taste this.”
She does, and narrows her eyes slightly. “Mm, more basil I think.”
“Are you sure?” Buck has a taste of his own and concedes, “Yeah, you’re absolutely right.”
“I know,” Maddie says. “I’m right about most things.”
“You’re right about the basil and only the basil.”

This was so sweet and amazing and cozy and then painful and then hopeful and then absolutely crushing and then culminated in one of the most romantic scenes I've experienced in a WHILE
tysm for this beautiful thing💜

Summary
Eddie hits his shoulder harder this time. "That's it!"
"What is?" Buck repeats his question from before, rubbing his shoulder like the movement hurt him —it didn't, Eddie is sure.
"You'll go with me! Like, you can act like you're my couple".
Buck looks at him, untethered before cracking the loudest laugh of the night.
"What's so funny?" Eddie asks with a half-showing smile as Buck keeps laughing and although he didn't mean to, he's happy to see him joyful again.
"Oh, you're being serious". He stops laughing slowly, shaking his head, showing that he's not really believing anything that his friend says. "What do you want us to do? To pretend we're together like in some teenage romcom?"
OR
Eddie has an empty plus one for a destination wedding. Not wanting to meet his entire family by himself and being setted up, Buck and he make a deal: Buck can pretend to be his boyfriend and he would help him to get his happy ending after.
Eddie doesn't expect how loud his mind gets when he's alone with Buck, in a nice beach, while the lines of their friendship are blurred.
