  4. Summary

    A place for me to throw my fics that are less canon-compliant and more self-indulgent social commentaries.

    F1 is far from an inclusive sport, especially where the LGBTQIA communities are concerned.

    This series is a safe space.

    Summary

    “I don’t–” Eddie’s voice cracked. “I don’t deserve this.”

    “I agree. You don’t deserve to feel this way.”

    “You know that’s not what I meant.”

    Buck’s jaw tightened, and he stood up. “What do you want me to do, Eddie? Stop checking in with you? Stop helping you?”

    “Yes,” Eddie said, but Buck continued.

    “Wait until I get a call from your son that you locked yourself in your room and took a bat to everything you own?”

    Eddie pushed away his plate. “Get out.”

    Buck blinked. “Are you fucking serious right now?”

    “I’m not kidding, Buck. Get. Out.”

    Buck stared at him for a long moment, then turned around and stalked away.

    “Fine. But don’t fucking call when you need me.”

    or: Eddie navigates his newfound sexuality, and nearly destroys his most important friendship in the process.
