Summary
Sex with Tommy is always great; the best sex he's had in his life. Sometimes, though, Buck feels like he's having an otherworldly experience, overwhelmed in the best way possible, floating in another dimension, everything else disappearing around their joined bodies.
It's how he feels right now, straddling Tommy's face, his cock buried in his boyfriend's throat while he's also mouthing at Tommy's cock, saliva dripping all over it as he teases him.
He'd like to tease Tommy for a long, long time but Tommy's swallowing around the head of his cock and he doesn't want to make him wait so he goes down on him like a starving man, burying his nose into his pubes, inhaling him as he hollows his cheeks out and sucks.

Summary
Buck moves in on a Saturday. It’s a small house, but that’s okay. With each successive move Buck had gotten rid of more and more belongings. He doesn’t have much left at this point.
Eddie helps him move boxes and furniture from storage to his truck and from his truck into his new house. With a lunch break, the entire process only takes three hours. It’s all a bit anticlimactic. Eddie offers to help him unpack, since they have so much time, but the idea settles too heavy in Buck’s stomach. Moving boxes is one thing. Moving in is something else entirely.
This is the first place that Buck has ever lived in that he picked out for himself. He’s feeling a little precious about that. He doesn’t want someone else to decide which drawer his utensils should be in. He’s had enough of other people telling him where to put things.
Or:
Buck buys a fixer-upper, grieves Bobby, and works through his loneliness. Tommy helps.- Language:

Summary
Evan dances with… someone, then another someone, then gets passed a shot from a stranger that he feigns taking before dumping it on the ground because he wants to be drunk, not dead.
Then a hand touches his elbow, far gentler than anyone touched him all night, and Evan turns to see the person standing behind him and–
Person is an understatement.
The man looks like a Greek god. The ones cut from marble and decorated in bronze and–
And if he thought Blue was attractive, they’ve got nothing on this man. Not with his pretty tousled hair and strong nose and cheekbones Evan suddenly wants to do a shot off of.
