Somebody Else's Loss is Another's Gain (Thank You to the One Who Let [Him] Get Away) by OtterdentallyInLove

Summary
Isabel Diaz loves her family, don’t get her wrong, but if she wanted this day to be perfect, she knew she had to ensure that her late husband’s namesake promised (a pinky promise, given Evan explained to her how, per Maddie and himself, pinky promises cannot be broken) to follow through on bringing her a priceless and precious gift, the one she was most looking forward to. Admittedly it was more of a demand than a request, though, so there was no way Eddie would fail her…
Or so she thought.(Or: Buck attends Abuela's 80th birthday party with Eddie, Chris and (a surprise) Jee. He's quick to charm most of the Diazes, but Ramon and Helena have been distant and uninterested from the moment they laid eyes on him in Abuela's backyard. Another surprise gift (this one unwelcome) later in the party invited drama and unexpected confessions, well unexpected for our two favorite oblivious boys.)

You Make Me Feel Loved, Make Me Feel Like I'm Home by OtterdentallyInLove

Summary
Following the events of Abuela's birthday party, Buck and Eddie have a little fun with their found family by deciding to give them a taste of their own medicine. Now an official couple, the two keep mum about the fact that they've figured their metaphorical shit out, but also don't hold back when it comes to physical affection given and tone of voice used between each other. There are multiple POVs as every FireFam member gets their own "something's shifted" moment.
Warning / Spoilers: There is a short (and not overly descriptive) sex (or more like fun between the sheets) moment after Maddie's section (jump from the end of Maddie's section to "after another hour of fun between the sheets...") There is also a slight PTSD moment during The Team Finds Out section (skip ahead to "one thing you can taste" in this section to skip this scene.) Again, please know they both exist within this work if either of these are not something you want to read.
Immediately follows the events of Part 1 (Somebody Else's Loss...), but I'd also like to think it can be a stand-alone. Orig. "I’ll Be the Voice You Always Know (When You’re Lost and All Alone)"

Summary
Part 4 (once again, finally!) of my "Sometimes Being Lost..." series!! If you've been around for awhile, you know I write long fics, and this one is no different. So, part 5 will be the end of the series, and I'm hoping to keep it the length of a good epilogue ("hoping" being the key word).
Buck and Eddie find themselves eager to get married, so they attempt to balance work and spending time with Chris while adding Wedding Planning to the mix, all in the span of seven-ish months.
Honest conversations and a bit of angst (because what's a good fic without it, am I right (or do I just like to make myself and my favorite characters hurt?!)
I also had fun writing a very prominent section from Season 6 with Established Buddie!!(Italicized sections within parentheses are meant to depict the same scene but from a different person's perspective!)
