    Summary

    "Buck stared at him. And Eddie finally said the thing that had apparently been true for far longer than he’d realized.
    “I took Theo because I love him,” Eddie said quietly. “But I also did it because I love you.”
    He's met with silence..."

     

    Or, when the system finds out about Buck's drug dependency, they threaten to remove Theo until they can reevaluate. Luckily, Eddie is there to help fix it

    Summary

    “Would you marry me?”

    Eddie stared at him.

    Buck stared back.

    The refrigerator hummed. The monitor hissed faintly. Eddie could hear his own pulse, which seemed dramatic and unhelpful.

    “What?” Eddie said.

    Buck looked down, then back up. “Not like. I mean, legally. For Theo. For the stability thing.”

    Eddie’s mouth had gone dry.

    Buck kept talking. He did that when he was nervous. Built a whole staircase of words and then tried to jump down it. “I know it sounds insane. I know. And I’m not asking because I’m freaking out. I mean, I am always a little bit freaking out, but that’s not why. I’m asking because if I had to pick someone to have legal standing with Theo, someone who already shows up and knows him and knows me, it would be you.”

    Eddie said nothing.

    Buck’s face tightened. “You can say no.”

    “I know.”

    Summary

    “Sweetheart, your pretty little head is so silly. For every photocard I make of ugly hockey men, I make two of my gorgeous, radiant, pulchritudinous boyfriend. Sometimes three.”

    A smile breaks through the heated haze of Shane’s expression. “You’ve been using the thesaurus Dad got you for Christmas?”

    “I will beat Yuna Hollander at Scrabble one day,” Ilya declares against Shane’s hip bone.

    In the year between the Cottage and the Centaurs, Ilya misses Shane more than ever. Svetlana’s teenage cousin offers a coping method: Kpop-style Shane Hollander photocards to stare at all day long. It's a shame carrying around pictures of fellow hockey players is just not socially acceptable.

    …At least, not yet.
     
    (AKA: Ilya's mission to desensitize the hockey world to his Hollander fanboyisms, and the NHL players that suffer for it.)

    Summary

    "Hey, you made it."

    Buck turns toward the voice, already saying "sorry, he's got a lot of energy, he's—" and then he gets a look at the swim instructor, and the rest of the sentence walks off a cliff.

    Because the swim instructor is shirtless.

    Obviously he's shirtless, he's a swim instructor, that's the dress code, Buck understands this intellectually. What Buck did not account for is that the swim instructor would look like that — like someone took every good idea the human body has ever had and put them all in one place and then made him relaxed about it on top of everything, loose, smiling at Buck like Buck isn't a sweating disaster clutching a four-year-old by the swim shirt.

    "I'm Eddie," the swim instructor says, and sticks out a hand.

    "Buck," Buck says, eventually. He shakes the hand. The hand is tan, and big, and — no. He's not doing this. There's a child present. Several children.

    "And this must be Theo."

    Or,
    Buck falls for Theo's swim instructor, literally.

    Summary

    See, Eddie wasn’t some kind of traditionalist. He didn't care about old-fashioned gender roles. He didn't think omegas belonged stuck in a kitchen, and he didn't think alphas had to be the absolute bosses of everything. But he did believe in instincts. He believed in the natural order of things and what a body was meant to do.

    And looking at Buck, Eddie drew his own quiet conclusions: Buck was living in the wrong shell. He was miserable trying to force himself into the alpha mould, running himself ragged trying to live up to a biology that didn't fit his soul.

    Buck would be so much happier, so much better off, if he could just be an omega.

    In which, Eddie helped Buck become the omega he was meant to be.
