Summary:
Eddie leaves for Texas on a Tuesday and Buck feels it in his heart before he even exits the airport. He starts to feel it in his body on a Thursday.
Or
Soulbonds are rare, spontaneous bonds are practically unheard, but Buck and Eddie have always been anything but conventional.

5 times Buck didn't break
When Bobby didn't text him back that morning, Buck didn't think much of it.
end on a song
Slamming the front door, Buck stalked over to stand in front of where Eddie was seated on the couch.
what happens if I do this?
Lounging beside Eddie on the couch, Buck scrolled absent-mindedly through his phone, skimming news articles and click-bait for something to interest him.
I can see it in your eyes
Buck put his hands up, letting the music carry him.
Eddie, you have food on your face
Sinking down onto the couch beside Eddie, Buck reached for a plate and began piling food onto it.
Buck, you have food on your face
Wiping his hands on his napkin, Eddie turned to look at Buck and see how close he was to finishing his burrito.
it looks better on you
Light from the setting sun slanted across the dashboard as he drove.
James
Buck sighed, leaning back on his couch and trying to focus on the show he'd put on.
knee deep in sinking sand
"Buck? You good?"
sidewalk rule
Buck was chatting away, his hands waving this way and that, and Eddie had a smile on his face as he walked beside him.
Did you eat today?
At the sound of a door opening and closing, Eddie stretched and rubbed at his eyes.
if you love someone
Buck slowed down, his foot on the brake, as they joined the long line of traffic all trying to get home.
boysenberry
Buck licked the edge of his ice cream cone as it began dripping, but he missed a bit.
spitting sand at the beach
Buck had sand in his hair.
lost the reflex to resist (I could get used to this)
Eddie woke to the gentle press of lips against his forehead and slowly blinked his eyes open, looking up to see Buck leaning over him with a smile.
Friends Don't
Tongue out and one foot propped up on the locker room bench, Buck struggled to get the zipper on his duffel bag past the bulging contents.
Waking Up Slow
Waking up slowly, Buck felt Eddie pressed against him and let out a happy sigh, turning to snuggle closer.

I'd say the pattern is that I like to just jump right in to what's going on? idk, what do you think?
As if having a mind of its own, Eddie's hand reaches and brushes against Buck's shoulder, his thumb ghosting over Buck's pulse point and then his hand lowers down his chest— So delicate and careful as if Buxk is the most precious, fragile thing in this world.
"I'm really sorry, Buck." He chokes out.
His gaze moves upwards, finding Buck's wide blue eyes staring back at him. "It's okay, Eddie, seriously."
send me a 🎁 and I’ll write five sentences of what I’m working on
9. Do you prefer to write AUs, canon divergence, or canon-compliant fic?
Oooh, canon divergent AUs are my jam! I love changing one thing and then just watching all the pieces fall into place... this overlaps with AUs a bit because a lot of the time, the thing that I change has no chance of happening in canon, ever (see various incidents of me killing main characters, people having a secret identity, people being dragons, etc...)
12. Is there a trope you haven’t written yet but really want to?
Oh my gosh, there are so many tropes I want to write... I think the one that I have written down somewhere but haven’t actually started writing is a transformation!fic! I really love all the stories where Geralt is transformed into a wolf etc, but I would love to explore the complicated feelings that he (and also to a certain extent, Yennefer) would have toward being forcibly transformed into something against his will, after all his feelings of ‘monster hood’ and otherness linked to the fact that he was given mutagens to become a Witcher against his will?
I have a scene in my head where it’s Jaskier, and there’s some big murder mystery with people being transformed into something (probably something to do with wings because I always love a good wingfic) and Jaskier going on about how cool it would be to fly, And Geralt gets this terrible look on his face-
(of course, this fic definitely ends with the evil sorcerer of the week aiming some sort of transformation magic at Geralt and Jaskier pushing him out of the way, leading to MORE feels...)
That answer probably went a bit off topic, but I hope that you enjoyed it!
Re hand sanitizer on planes: you were always allowed to bring it but the 12oz would be more than the usual liquid restrictions x
ohhhhh I see!! thought you weren’t allowed to bring it at all and I was like umm what the fuck. Like I know NZ is very relaxed compared to America but that seemed a bit much ahaha
