Summary:

“One. Week. Bobby,” Buck says, and he knows he looks manic, “Not even that! Five days!”

“I’ve already got a few people in mind,” Bobby says thoughtfully.

“Who could you possibly know that can learn this entire setlist so quickly?” Buck asks.

“What about Tommy?” Chimney asks, apropos of nothing.

Hen makes an interested noise.

“Tommy would be good, actually,” Bobby says, nodding slowly.

“Who the hell is Tommy?” Buck demands.

Tommy let them go back and excused himself by saying he needed a minute, Miller and O’Neil nodded without a word. Not like they even needed one.

Elbows on his knees, head in his hands, Tommy took a deep breath.

This wasn’t fair, none of it. Nate should’ve gotten a fucking chance to be cared for, to be back with he man who had made him so happy all those years ago. This shouldn’t have happened to him, he shouldn’t have died, not after everything he told them. Not after they got another chance and actually used it.

And now they were going to have to tell Andy what happened.

Fuck.

Tommy wondered whether Andy told Evan anything about their story, and how much of himself he revealed. If he was anything like Nate had told them, then Andy wasn’t the type of person to just share his entire backstory to a complete stranger unless said stranger was either blackmailing him or very persuasive.

Evan was very persuasive.

Shit, Evan.

bucktommy - teen - 900 words - alternate first meeting, epistolary, birdwatching, rivals to lovers.

Buck learns about birdwatching leaderboards during a lonely Thanksgiving on the road. He goes all in, of course, and decides to try and list the highest number of birds spotted in a calendar year. It would be great if this Tommy guy would stop saying his spottings aren't valid, though.

you can read 'the big year' on ao3 here!

for the @au-roulette prompt: sport/athletics (competitive birdwatching is a sport. to me.)

images/html are used, but with the work skin off, it will show everything as plain text/images with alt descriptions, so this should be screen reader friendly. if for any reason it isn't, please let me know in a comment or through my tumblr!
