Summary
“Where are you driving from?” Eddie asked, his mouth moving before he could stop it, his brain deciding that awkward small talk was infinitely safer than just standing there vibrating with nervous energy.
“East,” the guy replied with a casual, fluid roll of his broad shoulders. “Farther than I wanted to be, honestly. And definitely longer than I originally planned.”
Before the army, before Los Angeles, and long before the 118, there was a dusty gas station on the edge of El Paso, a broken-down Jeep with Pennsylvania plates, and a stranger named Evan.
For years, they were each other's entire world, surviving basic training, AIT, and a grueling deployment side-by-side. But a devastating wave of silence and a massive misunderstanding tore them apart, leaving behind a deep, soul-cutting ache and a history neither of them ever truly moved on from.
Now, the past has finally caught up to the present. Standing under the harsh fluorescent lights of Station 118, Eddie and Evan are forced to navigate the wreckage of the life they left behind—and the terrifying truth of everything they never stopped running from.

Summary
“Would you marry me?”
Eddie stared at him.
Buck stared back.
The refrigerator hummed. The monitor hissed faintly. Eddie could hear his own pulse, which seemed dramatic and unhelpful.
“What?” Eddie said.
Buck looked down, then back up. “Not like. I mean, legally. For Theo. For the stability thing.”
Eddie’s mouth had gone dry.
Buck kept talking. He did that when he was nervous. Built a whole staircase of words and then tried to jump down it. “I know it sounds insane. I know. And I’m not asking because I’m freaking out. I mean, I am always a little bit freaking out, but that’s not why. I’m asking because if I had to pick someone to have legal standing with Theo, someone who already shows up and knows him and knows me, it would be you.”
Eddie said nothing.
Buck’s face tightened. “You can say no.”
“I know.”

Summary
"Speaking of Eddie," Maddie continues. "What did he say when you told him what you're thinking about Theo?"
"Uh, I haven't told him yet," Buck says. "I wanted to talk to you first."
Maddie puts down her spoon, eyes widening. "Oh." She presses a hand to her heart. "Oh, wow. Okay, well, I'm honored that you wanted to tell me first."
"Of course," Buck says quickly. "What you think — your opinion means so much to me." He reaches over to squeeze her hand. "You know me so well."
Her eyes fill, and she turns her head to wipe them on her shoulder. "That means a lot. You're going to be a great parent — foster parent — to Theo. I know it."
"Thanks, Maddie," Buck says, blinking away his own tears.
"You know what else I know?"
"What?"
"You're going to feel better after you talk to Eddie. You should tell him soon."

Summary
Soulmates. Everyone is taught about them in school. It’s necessary to explain the random words or symbols on their child's bodies when they begin to realize other kids have different ones.
It's the first words that your soulmate says to you personally. Once you hear them the lettering wherever on your body freezes for a moment. The words then become darker almost like a fresh tattoo that forever remains boldened.
Buck had the fortune of being able to meet his soulmate. Unfortunately, his last words were the first and last Buck would ever hear from him.
But that was years ago and Buck has had countless meaningless encounters since then to fill the void of losing his true love. Although he loved serving overseas he couldn’t stomach it anymore after his last mission ended in his soulmate's death.
His new job at the 118 firehouse is perfect. Except for the new guy whose eyes make Buck feel heartbroken in an indescribable way.
Or Buck believes he lost his soulmate while in the SEALs. In reality he hadn’t and Eddie, new to the 118 doesn’t understand the hatred his coworker has for him. It takes a bit for them to figure out this isn’t the first time their paths have crossed.

Summary
Dear Eddie,
You probably have a lot of questions. I’ll get to answering them later. But first, let me paint you a picture.
Imagine a little child, growing up in the depths of suburban Pennsylvania. They have no real friends, only their older sister. They have plenty of toys that were once said sister’s, including a collection of Barbies.
Among these Barbies is a singular Ken. The child pays special attention to him. While their parents are wondering why the child isn’t obsessed with changing the Barbies into a thousand and one dresses, they take a pink marker and draw a birthmark on the side of Ken’s left eye. They keep Ken hidden from everyone else and only bring him out when no one’s around, to look at him long and hard, mesmerized.
If you haven’t guessed yet, I am that child.
____OR Buck just wants to finally have an established partner in field at the 118. He doesn't expect the new hire to be the guy he'd dated back in college, before he dropped out and came out.

Summary
“Theo? Can you tell me what’s wrong?”
“He didn’t come home.” He stutters his way through the sentence, like it’s the scariest thing he’s ever said. Like he’s forcing himself to say it but doesn’t understand why it’s so scary, just that it is. Josh frowns at the screen in response. Tentatively types, possibly abandoned.
Jesus. What the hell is wrong with people these days?
“Who didn’t come home, Theo? Your dad?”
Theo, 5. Child in distress. Possibly abandoned.
The radio crackles with acknowledgment as Theo exhales shakily. It’s wet, like he’s building up all the courage his little body has to offer. “My Buck.”
--
Or, Theo calls 9-1-1 because Buck doesn't come home after he gets hurt on a shift.

Buck pressed the heels of his hands into his forehead and sighed.
"No, we're not engaged, it was just something Eddie said to get the social worker out of the house, path of least resistance," he explained.
"The path of least resistance was to say that you guys are getting gay married?" she asked incredulously.
"Just… married, Maddie, not gay married, and I-I dont know. Eddie says I'll have a better shot at adoption if Theo has a two-parent household," Buck clarified before Maddie cut him off.
"Wait, it was Eddie's idea?"
"Uh, yeah? So?"
"No! Nothing!" Maddie replied quickly. "That's just.. interesting!"
Buck and Eddie decide to get married to make adopting Theo easier and definitely for no other reasons at all.

Summary
Alright, so Buck is definitely in love with his best friend. But with a four-year-old running circles around him, remnants of pancake stuffed in his mouth and maple syrup slathered impossibly across his entire face, Buck really doesn't have time to think about that right now.
So he does what every responsible adult with any sort of structure in their life would - he schedules his mental breakdown for a later date. Pulling out his phone, he navigates deftly to his calendar, and eyes a free day a little over a month from now. October 15th, as good a date as any, he supposes. He blocks out a 3 hour time slot with an event titled 'Process the fact that I'm in love with Eddie', and swipes the app away without a second thought.
Or; Buck forgets that his Google calendar is shared with Eddie.

Summary
His mom clears her throat, squinting her eyes at Eddie. “Whose is he? Do you—Do you have a new girlfriend?”
Theo giggles and looks up at her from below. “Eddie doesn’t have a girlfriend! That’s silly!”
Eddie nearly chokes. Silly… Yeah, maybe so. “Uh—No. No girlfriend.”

Or: Eddie is convinced the universe hates him when his parents come to visit. With them already believing he and Buck are together, Eddie decides to roll with it.

Summary
“Buck,” Eddie says and he must sound some sort of way because Buck’s tone switches immediately.
“Is everything okay?”
Eddie wants to say no, that this is d-day level bad, but it’d be a lie. It’s not bad at all, just nerve wracking, just new. “Yeah, everything’s fine. My sisters are here.”
“Both of them? Adriana and Sophia?” Buck asks, voice matching Eddie’s level of shock. “In California?”
“In my house, right now,” Eddie responds. “Apparently Christopher invited them without telling me.”
“Oh, Eddie,” he whispers empathetically.
Or Eddie's sisters come to visit their nephews and help him discover a new perspective.
