    Summary

    The man squinted stubbornly. “Man, hell nah. Maybe it’s just for show. You know — ring to ward off the creeps."

    Daniel gave him a look. “ You do know you’re literally the creep it’s meant to ward off.”

    Another patient intervened, “Okay, okay. But weirdo with the scar has a point. Dr. Whitaker practically lives here. I always see him when I come back here. How’s a man like that got time for a spouse?"

    Daniel tilted his head. Come to think of it, he always sees Dr. Whitaker working himself down to the bone.

    And looking back at it, there was one person Whitaker seemed... different around. “Maybe,” Daniel said slowly, “he’s married to one of the doctors in here."

     
    TLDR: the patients at PTMC make a bet to figure out who Dr. Whitaker's mysterious husband is.

    Oh fuck.

    Summary

    Has Eddie ever thought about this?

    The question first hit him as he drove to clear his head, somewhere between his apartment and the freeway, and it hasn’t let up since. It’s needling at him like an itch he can’t reach, impossible to ignore, impossible to forget.

    Has Eddie ever looked at another man and wondered? Has he ever felt that slow, curious burn that’s crawling its way up Buck’s throat right now? Has he ever, holy fuck… has he ever looked at Buck and wondered?

    He needs to know.

    No.

    He needs to show him.

    Or; What if after Tommy kisses Buck, his only thought is I want to do this with Eddie.

    Summary

    Before Eddie can react, something cold clicks shut around his wrist. He glances down in disbelief to see a gleaming golden cuff locked tight against his skin, the other clasped around Buck’s wrist with a short length of chain connecting them.

    Eddie jerks his head up to Buck, silently demanding help, but Buck looks just as lost.

    “Uh—no, sir, take this off,” Buck stammers, tugging uselessly at the cuff.

    “Nope,” the man says cheerfully, shaking his head.

    Or; On a call, a weird man decides to handcuff Eddie and Buck together. They then have to spend the rest of their shift connected.

    Summary

    “They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”

    “So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”

    “A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”

    “And I am—”

    “The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”

    ----

    Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.
