Fics like you'd have to stop the world (just to stop the feeling)

“And you know what the worst part is?” The girl asks, wiping angrily at her tears. “I want the life I’m supposed to live. I want to get married and raise kids and be happy. I just don’t want to do all that with a man.” It’s like Eddie’s understanding of himself — of the reason why he’s always felt like something is wrong with him — has been locked away his entire life. Labelled break glass in case of emergency, gathering dust for thirty-four years, and all of a sudden some conflicted teenager is shattering his worldview without meaning to. I don’t want to do all that with a man, she’d said. The words slip out without Eddie intending them to. “I do.” — Or: the Eddie Diaz gay realization arc we all deserve. In which Bobby puts some pieces together, Chimney sees something he shouldn’t, Hen gets to have a conversation she’s been waiting to have for years, and Buck can’t understand why his best friend is avoiding him.
