Summary
There is one point on the list, though, for which no matter how much digging Eddie does, he finds no rational reason to discard.
QUEERING THE MAP, it says, in big bold letters. A website. Completely anonymous. No sign ups, no follow ups, no nothing. All you have to do is tap on some place, any place, on a map of the whole wide world, write about your queer experiences in that place, and send it off. Niche enough that he’s pretty sure Buck doesn’t know about it; popular enough that it’s unlikely he’d stumble across Eddie’s entries if he did. As long as Eddie doesn’t do anything stupid and tag any places that could expose who wrote the message, like his house or the loft, he ought to be fine.
But, like, it’s a map. Eddie’s not going to get any real help from a fucking map. He’ll give it the courtesy of a five minute look-over. Afterwards, he can cast it aside like everything else.
Or:
Eddie figures some things out, gets a second therapist, and tries his best at finding a way to keep Buck from noticing how obviously and hopelessly Eddie is in love with him.
It's ironic, really, that what ends up exposing him are his anonymous musings on some niche internet map.
