    Summary

    On the screen, the camera pans down as they introduce the contestants. Mary, on her 3rd day winning streak, is a dowdy teacher type. Center stage is occupied by a graying man with loopy handwriting named Auggie. And all the way to the right is…

    Evan.

    Damn.

    ---

    One night when Eddie can't sleep, he discovers the hottest Jeopardy contestant of all time (objectively). With the "help" of his team and his fairly good working knowledge of Twitter, they devise a plan to get Evan (from Jeopardy) to slide into Eddie's DMs. It works surprisingly well.

    “I told you my partner was coming,” the man says, shifting awkwardly. He turns and gestures towards Buck. “Here he is.”

    Summary

    “Are you homophobic?”

    “What?”

    “Will you be my boyfriend?”

    “Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.

    “Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

    Summary

    There are awful, exhausting moments where Neil’s body refuses to move, and he lies empty. Maybe that is why he had dropped the bowl, and maybe that is why all the batter is spilled over his lap, and maybe that is why Neil now lays on the kitchen tiles with corpse-bones and gooey honey marrow and skin that cannot piece itself back together today.

    Or Neil tries to make Andrew pancakes. The batter ends up all over the floor (and Neil), because sometimes standing is hard. Andrew cleans him up.
