Summary
Eddie says, “The brownies are good, Buck. And you didn’t even have to get a hint from someone in your attic this time.”
Buck smiles at him, so at least Eddie can still do one thing right.
That feeling lasts through their next call, and the next, and then it all goes to hell.
It’s a call at a church, which feels a little on the nose. Some kid crawled onto the roof through the bell tower; Buck is harnessed up there and getting the kid down.
Eddie is on the ground. Buck’s foot slips.

Or: Eddie's Abuela left him something in her will that he can’t stop thinking about, and he has a crisis of faith. Grief, love, and what it means when someone sees you a little too clearly. -

Summary
Maddie says, “What's this about a meth lab?”
“Buck has a crackpot theory,” says Eddie, and he can’t keep the fondness out of his voice.
“No, no, okay, listen,” says Buck, grinning at Eddie. “The guy down the street from Eddie is definitely running a meth lab.”
“This is the fourth meth lab he’s uncovered this week,” Eddie interjects. “Since he did that toxic substances training.”
—
In which Buck and Eddie do a little off-the-books detective work, a science project, and a lot of flirting.

Summary
Eddie watched her carefully as her belly grew. He’d been too young to understand when she had Sophia, but this time he brought her water when she threw up and made her cereal so she’d have something in her stomach.
“You have to take care of your mom,” Ramon told Eddie, who nodded seriously. “She is older now than when she had you, so it is harder on her body.”
Her weight ticked upward and her balance shifted, and Ramon took extra travel days to build up their savings for the baby. She rolled into his cold side of the bed at night and warmed herself with her own fury at his absence.
Eddie kept bringing her cereal into the third trimester, well after she was past the morning sickness, as though that would help anything.
“Will you stop,” she hissed. “I already have to clean up after you. I don’t need soggy cereal.”

Summary
Not thinking about it took a lot of energy. Not thinking about it meant always thinking about it, a little.
Not thinking about it meant it was nothing if he went to a bar a year after Shannon left, when he was newly in LA and she hadn’t responded to his texts, and there was a man there who sent him a drink, and the man’s jaw was sharp and his eyes were kind and Eddie thought, it’s LA, isn’t it? Not Texas. This is what they’re like here.
God knows he‘d heard enough jokes about Hollywood types when he left.
***
In which Eddie drags himself out of the closet.

Summary
Margaret says, every inch the interfering grandmother, “Maddie, dear, are you thinking you’ll have another after this little one?”
"Maybe let her get through this one first,” Buck says.
Philip says, "We always thought two was the perfect number of children, you know. That way there’s always a parent available to drive each one around."
And Buck snaps, "Well that worked out for you, didn't it."

Parents, forgiving but not forgetting, and what it means to earn a second chance.Series

Shane Hollander's Guide to Winning Free Agency by DistantStorm
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
04 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
Shane Hollander is a UFA on July 1, 2019 at 12pm Eastern. An Unrestricted Free Agent, or UFA for short, is a player of a certain tenure whose contract has ended and can sign with any team of their choosing. If it were anyone else, a player walking to his UFA day would strike fear into the fans and managers hearts. They could lose a player for nothing.
On the morning of July 1, 2019, with Shane Hollander set to test free agency, the Montreal Metros and their fanbase aren't worried. It's well documented that Shane Hollander has always held out for the best deal, and being a free agent is his leverage. Everyone knows that he’ll sign another deal with the Metros.
But maybe everyone is wrong.
(Alternatively: the one where Shane Hollander finds out ahead of schedule that Ilya Rozanov is lonely.)

Summary
Ilya leans forward in his chair, deliberately, to put his mouth right next to the microphone.
“Oh wow,” Ilya says brightly. His Russian accent is thicker than usual. “Drapeau must be trying so hard to seduce me. But I am sorry, I am already taken. A one man man, I am.”
