Warnings: none
Buck sleeps with Tommy to make Eddie jealous instead of adopting Blaze. Things go differently when Buck shows up as Freddie Fakeman to apologize.
Reccer says: Small canon divergences in fics, especially ones hinged on sex, can be so tricky to navigate well, but this story nails it. It's hot, funny, believable, and close to canon but just different enough to keep the reader guessing.

"And now here Eddie is, hyping himself up to choose joy.
The thing is that hugging isn’t something Buck and Eddie usually do. He can count on one, maybe two hands, how many times they’ve hugged in seven years. So he can’t just open his arms and have Buck come crawling into him. He must take different, more calculated measures. "
Reccer says: It's fluffy, sweet, and feels like a hug!
35. All About Eddie by Sintari (OriginalSintari) (@sintari) (1.1k, Teen)

wait so vesper died in 2003, 23 years ago, and nancy is 51. she was 28 when she wrote that obituary. how long do you think she’d been working for the omaha sunday scoop at that point? no wonder it hit hard, a girl just a few years younger than she is, passionate and driven like she is, who never had the chance to be more. how much of nancy’s career do you think was driven by the determination that someone needs to tell the story of people who think they’ll disappear without anyone noticing, how many nights did she spend doggedly pursing a story, exhausted and upset, and pulling out that old obituary for the strength to keep pushing forwards?
hype to see tumblr, famously the source of almost all black sails fans, be irrationally mad at siobhan for calling it a) black flag and b) not that gay even though she binged like six episodes a year ago

hj and lavonte really underlining that there’s no worse break up than one where you both still truly and deeply love each other but you just don’t see the world the same way anymore and you know it doesn’t work anymore so you have to call it even though you both still love each other so fucking much
there’s something so fun about siobhan and zac, known for puzzles and called shots, are both playing hot characters who keep openly announcing that they’re too dumb to finish a thought
