Excerpt
"You know my boyf—mm, no, my ex b’yfrienddd," Buck slurred, pointing vaguely at the man sitting beside him. The guy—some guy named Jake, or maybe Jade... something like that—just nodded like this was the most riveting conversation of his life.
"Mmm yes, he is my ex now. Anyway, he was great! No, no, wait, he’s my ex, he’s awful, you see."Bookmarked by Horns_and_Ember

Summary
“Do you know what fanfiction is?”
Max blinks. “Yeah?”
“Oh, good,” Charles says, even more relieved. “Do you know people write about celebrities?”
Max rolls his eyes. “I’ve been briefed by PR, yeah.”
Charles flops down on the lounge, Sassy and Jimmy long gone, and props his feet up on the coffee table. Max rolls his eyes again, then sits down next to him. He and Charles are friends, kind of, and certainly closer now that they’ve ever been before, but he’s never really witnessed Charles having a PR-related meltdown before. They’re not that close.
Oh, well. A first time for everything, he supposes.
“Great!” Charles says cheerily, then unlocks his phone and shoves it in Max’s face. “Do you also know that we’re ranked second on Archive of Our Own?”
// Charles discovers fanfiction. He makes it Max's problem

Summary
An alternative meet-cute, where-in Tommy doesn’t know the 118 and decides Buck is worth it anyway. Buck is confused but figures some things out.
Buck shifts awkwardly. "So what happens now?"
He tilts his head, wishes he knew what was going on in Buck’s brain, but he’s flying blind here. He thought he’d read the signs right, picked up the signals, hasn’t been this wrong about a guy since he moved to LA. Although, if he’s being brutally honest with himself, he has to admit that picking up guys on apps or on the dance floor doesn’t really require a lot of nuance — physical need, desire, comes first, and everything else is a distant second…if it ever gets that far. But, this had felt…different, like a perfect rom com meet cute. Goes to show, even in LA, real life isn’t like the movies.
Doesn’t answer Buck’s question now though. "I mean that’s kind of up to you."
