    Summary

    Buck really didn’t know what he did in a past life to deserve this.

    His eyes snapped open again, dragged toward the front door. The house sat in heavy silence, the kind that wasn’t peaceful but rather blaringly obvious, pressing in on his ears until he swore he could hear things that weren’t there. The faint crunch of the ice-machine. Pipes settling somewhere in the walls. Some sounds, however, were missing from the regular traffic. Notably, the hum of Eddie’s fan.

    Where the fuck was Eddie?

    -

    or; 5 times Buck observes Eddie's sexcapades, and 1 time he does more than observe.

    Summary

    Captain Buckley, who is steady, who has his shit together, who definitely does not recognize his new probie because he spent a night eight years ago with his hands in that man's hair whispering things against his skin that would get him fired on the spot if anyone in this building ever found out.

    "You must be Eddie Diaz." His hand goes out. Not shaking, by some miracle that deserves its own cathedral, its own patron saint, the patron saint of men who are dying inside and shaking hands about it. "Welcome to the 118. It’s nice to meet you, I’m Captain Buckley."

    Eddie takes his hand. A firm grip, calloused in places Buck doesn't remember, but Buck's skin recognizes him anyway, every nerve, all at once.

    "Captain." Eddie's voice is level, pleasant, perfectly neutral, and Buck would buy it completely if he couldn't see the tension bolted into Eddie's shoulders. "Thanks for having me." A beat. "You got a first name, Captain Buckley?"

    "Evan. But most people just call me Buck."

    "Buck," Eddie repeats, tasting it, dragging it out, and Buck's stomach drops through the floor. "Suits you."

    Or,
    Captain Buckley WILL NOT fuck his new probie, okay? At least, not again.

    Summary

    Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.

    The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.

    Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.

    -----

    In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

    Summary

    Years before joining the 118, Buck’s travels take him to El Paso, where he meets Christopher. When Eddie comes back from Afghanistan and Shannon leaves, Buck ends up staying. As bills pile up, the best move is for them to get married, just for convenience, they’ll divorce when Eddie comes back from his re-enlistment.

    Then Eddie gets injured and it’s just easier to stay married for a little longer, while Buck gets started at the 118. However, Buck doesn’t mention his ‘husband’ and kid, not feeling like they’re his to keep. When Eddie gets the offer from Bobby, they decide to lie and pretend they don’t know each other, so they can work together.

    The whole lie gets out of hand as feelings start to become real, until it all comes to a head in the aftermath of the fire engine explosion.

     

    AKA: Secret marriage of convenience buddie slow burn AU, where Buck and Eddie have been married for years so Buck could adopt Chris and no one at the 118 knows.

    Summary

    "You look exactly the same," Eddie says with tears in his eyes. "How is that even possible?"

    "I don't know," Buck says, his thumb swiping across Eddie's knuckles. "I don't understand it."
    He may be the same, but looking at Eddie, Buck can see the years on him. His hair is a bit different, the creases by the corners of his eyes just a bit deeper. There's a new scar on his right hand that Buck hasn't seen before.

    He'd know these hands blind, but it takes him a moment to notice it still. His fingers brush over it once, and then again before he actually looks down and sees the thin golden band wrapped around Eddie's ring finger. Then he just—stares at it, stupidly, for a second. Before Eddie pulls his hands back, and leaves Buck's hanging empty in the space between them.

    "You're married," he says.
