    Summary

    So everything was okay. Eddie was going to Texas. No, he was going to his son. Christopher was the only thing on his mind. His son was the only thing on his mind.

    That was what made it all the more confusing when Buck drove Eddie to the airport and when he hugged Eddie goodbye, standing outside the doors of terminal 4 at LAX, Eddie could not imagine why his first thought was please don’t say it.

    Eddie wasn’t even entirely sure what he didn’t want Buck to say, but he knew, deep down to his core, that he did not want Buck to say it. There wasn’t something that Buck could say that would have Eddie falling to his knees outside of terminal 4, and Eddie really didn’t have time for that right now.

     

    ...

     

    Eddie goes to El Paso. Buck stays behind. Neither of them say what they should.

    Dear stranger,
    I heard about this program connecting soldiers back to America and thought I’d give it a try. I hope this letter finds you as well as it can and that I hear back soon.
    Stay safe,
    Buck

    Summary

    “I thought being in a press conference with Diaz of all people would get the heat off me.”

    Eddie Diaz, the reigning World Champion and the man who holds so many records in the sport it’s difficult to count them on both hands. Last year, he won nineteen of the 21 races, sweeping the competition and was crowned a three-time World Champion before they raced at his home circuit in Texas. “I should’ve purposefully lost,” Buck remembers Diaz saying to Jenson Button in Qatar, “Being crowned Champion in Texas would’ve been so special.”

    Buck’s barely spoken to the guy, and he hates him.

    or, Buck is Ferrari's newest driver. He really does not like Eddie Diaz, Red Bull's reigning World Champion and his biggest rival.

    Summary

    for the absolutely infallible @eddiesdiaz who asked me on Tumblr:
    High school au where Buck’s the sad lonely kid with the shit family and Eddie’s the popular captain of the wrestling team who makes it his personal mission to make Buck an honorary Diaz and convince him that he deserves nice things I am just saying
    ———

    Buck was good at going unseen.

    It was a defense mechanism—his parent’s couldn’t get upset with what they didn’t realize was there—and it had only amped up once Maddie graduated. Once she went off to college, Buck had no reason to be a distraction anymore, to try and pull attention off of anyone; so he just got better at it. He could pick things up and set them down without a sound. He constantly walked on the balls of his feet. He even kept his breathing even, slow and low, whenever he wasn’t alone.

    Buck was invisible to absolutely everyone.

    Well… everyone except Eddie Diaz.

    Summary

    Buck and Eddie had been luckier than most enlisted soldiers - after meeting at basic training, they were stationed at the same base, and had been in the same unit ever since. Buck had been there through everything; from their first deployment to Eddie's divorce, supporting him in war zones or at home with Christopher. Most friends in the military didn't get so much time together before getting shipped off somewhere new, so it was bound to happen sooner or later.

    When Eddie learns that he's getting stationed on the other side of the country, he's faced with a reality where Buck isn't a part of his daily life. Neither of them are prepared for a life without the other. Their solution? To get married.

    Summary

    "Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."

    Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"

    "Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."

    And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

    ***
    After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?

    Summary

    Evan Buckley is 7 years old when his mother leaves him at a gas station, where he meets Bobby Nash.

    20 years later, Evan "Buck" Nash is a firefighter with the 118, when he meets 7 year old Christopher Diaz at a gas station, after his mother killed herself.

    He takes the boy in, just like his father did to him, and cares for him. But, when Christophers father finally comes into the picture, how will things change?

    Summary

    “Buck this is an order. You have to move, look for a way out...” Bobby grumbles, peremptory, like a boss now. Even though his eyes show so much concern. “Find the way out, Buck, we are looking for you from outside, okay?”.
    “There could be, yes. But ... Cap?” he says, tentative over the radio. “It’s all dark and... and... and I think I’m hurt...” he says and hears him just chuckle. “I’m bleeding...” he continues to say and coughs. “But… but it doesn’t hurt”.
    Shit. Shit. Shit. This isn’t a good sign. Eddie has seen many injuries, even before being a firefighter. And this is not a good sign, if one doesn’t feel pain, it isn’t a good sign.

     

    Or, Buck gets trapped in a burning building but... there really is always a way out? No one gets left behind, right?

    Summary

    “Why the fuck are you even in this loop? This day isn’t about you.”

    “Well, I die,” Eddie comments idly, not sounding as offended as he maybe should be. “Haven’t you heard? I’m always dying.”

    “That’s not funny.”

    Eddie shrugs, not really agreeing or disagreeing. It’s a few seconds before he says, eyes still closed, “Maybe I’m here so you’re not alone.”

    Summary

    The AU where Bobby adopted Evan when he was six years old, and then twenty years later Eddie joins the 118 and starts dating Buck... and no one initially realises that Evan and Buck are, in fact, the same person. Part 1 is the story of the identity shenanigans and the reveal.

    Part 3 is a collection of missing scenes from the original story, while Parts 4 ('how it could have gone') and 5 ('another way it could have gone') are outtakes and depict two different scenarios where the reveal of Buck and Evan being the same person go a different way.

    Part 2 'oh captain my captain' is a prequel and shows the 118 meeting Bobby and then later on Evan.

    Part 6 'these are the days we've been waiting for' is the story of Buck's first day at the 118.

    Part 7 'may you live in interesting times' is a sequel to that takes place about a year or so later, and Part 8 'I once was lost (but now I'm found)' directly follows on and is a full-length sequel and prequel to the main story.

    This series as it is now is standalone and can be considered complete. The only reason I haven't marked it as such is because I do expect to be adding additional installments at some point in the future. Happy reading!

    Summary

    Since Shannon died, Eddie Diaz's family has been trying to set him up. They just want him to find the "right person" they tell him. Unbeknownst to them, however, Eddie already has met the right person. He knows who he wants to spend the rest of his life with, to raise Christopher with.

    Eddie lives an open life out in LA with his team and his friends, but not with his conventional family back in Texas. When Eddie decides he wants to remarry, however, the small world the Diaz family inhabits is suddenly blown apart. Dynamics shift, conversations become more and more difficult, and change is inevitable. Eddie hopes to come out of it all stronger than before, and he knows that nothing will stop him from marrying the love of his life.

    "Are you getting horny over a thirst trap account?" Sophia asks.

    "Don't… Don't say it like that!" Eddie hisses.

    "Oh my God," she groans. "If it matters that much to you, ask his fucking permission!"

    Eddie coughs. "I'm not about to ask a stranger on the internet if I can get off to him."

    "I love you, Eddie, but this is a little dramatic even for you."

    Summary

    Eddie caught sight of the man leaning against the side of his desk and immediately wanted to retreat to the relative safety of the hallway, back in time when he lived happily not knowing that Mr. Buckley was apparently some kind of male model masquerading as a third-grade teacher.

    “Uh. Hi,” was all he managed, as his brain desperately tried to reconcile this person—this very tall, very broad, very hot person, Jesus fucking Christ—with the Mr. Buckley that Chris rambled about constantly, the one who loved Lord of the Rings and was an endless repository of fun animal facts. (Did you know a group of owls was called a parliament? Eddie didn't, not until last week.)

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz has wondered about the earth for a long time.

    He’d gone by many names, seen many faces and lived many lives. He’d been worshipped by crowds and loved by the masses. He’d been forgotten, his temples destroyed or repurposed. He’d learnt languages that no longer exist, fascinated by the development of language and how none had yet come up with a word that could truly represent the agony that had carved its way into his bones – although he suspects that, at some point, someone might get close.

    He'd spent years just watching the world, the world that fought and fought and fought in an endless bloodshed. Always over meaningless things, where the true trigger would be forgotten and only pain and death and body count would be remembered accurately. He’d watched the years after, as beauty grew from the blood that had fallen. There is an art in sorrow.

    He knew the beauty that grew from blood far too intimately.

    “What’s his name?” Buck asks.

    “Eddie Diaz,” Nurse Corra tells him.“Hey, you know Eddie is also a retired firefighter."

    Eddie Diaz, new recruit, a voice echoes in his mind.

    “Huh.” Buck says. "Never heard of him."
