Fics like Floral Middle Fingers (A Bouquet of Backhanded Compliments)

After a disastrous double date with Buck’s sharp-tongued girlfriend Taylor and his own increasingly insufferable partner Ana, Eddie Diaz discovers two things: 1) Ana’s “helpful suggestions” for Christopher are less about support and more about erasing his son’s needs, and 2) Taylor Kelly is delighted to become his partner-in-petty-crime. Armed with a crash course in passive-aggressive floristry from a chaotic non-binary florist, Eddie embarks on a mission to send Ana the messages he can’t say aloud—using bouquets disguised as gifts for Taylor. But between Ana’s condescension, Buck’s cluelessness, and Taylor’s increasingly creative revenge schemes, Eddie’s floral warfare becomes a catalyst for realizing what (and who) he’s been quietly fighting for all along. (Or: Five times Eddie weaponizes flower meanings to spite his ableist girlfriend, one time he lets go, and the slow-burn realization that Buck’s been his "always" all along.)
