    Summary

    When Buck, a Paralympic sprinter, agrees to go on Dancing With the Stars, he wonders if he's just made the worst decision of his life. But his love life is dead, his social life even more dead, and he doesn't know what to do with his life in the aftermath of the Paralympics, so why not jump headfirst into this opportunity?

    Eddie has been a professional dancer on the show for years, but after a recent divorce and a disappointing showmance, he's fallen out of love with his job, with dancing, with himself. He has no hope for the next season, until he meets one Buck Buckley.

    The pair feel an instant connection, but will it be enough to see them through the trials and tribulations of the next eleven weeks?

    Summary

    He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.

    Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he know; he well and truly fucked up.

     
    or: another classic post-lawsuit fic. Angst, hurt, some comfort, more angst, more comfort.

    Summary

    This isn’t the first time something’s gone horribly, catastrophically wrong for Buck, but it’s okay. It’ll work out in the end. It always has so far.

    This is just a temporary setback. He pinkie promises.

     

    Or, Buck loses his leg, falls in love, and gets his job back. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    When Buck is a little older, if you ask him what love is, he will tell you that it’s catching his sister in his arms and holding her close as she gasps for air. He will tell you it’s the deep brown eyes of a friend he will fall in love with. He will tell you it’s being handed a flower by a little girl in a garden.

    He will tell you about his dead brother, and his dead captain that’s really like a dead father, and the grief he shoulders that never goes away, and you’ll be worried and scared and wonder if love is worth it in the end, and Evan Buckley will say –

    “That’s just love. Nothing you can do about that.”

    Love is a noun. Love is gravity, a whispered name between two people, a tattoo.

    Love is a verb. It’s having a meal together, a shared laugh in a crowded bar, a ghost in the bed you curl around. 

    It’s a garden you tend to. It’s a well loved flower. A plant with roots that reach deep into the earth. 

    “That’s just the way it is.”
