Summary
The thing about Eddie and Hen bonding is that he might not want to admit it, but Buck’s jealous. He’s achingly and overwhelmingly jealous. He’s jealous of Eddie.
He knows how it sounds, he knows what people think. He hasn’t even tried to raise it with Maddie, because she’d laugh at him and she wouldn’t believe him, and she’d ask if he was sure he wasn’t jealous of Hen. It really isn’t that.
Hen is special. Hen’s always been there for him, always been a steady and constant support like no one else.
The thing that no one seems to understand is that he lost Eddie months ago.
-----
Episode tag to 9x5 Día de los Muertos, in which Buck really truly is jealous of Eddie, not Hen.

Summary
“Fuck it,” Eddie mumbled before unlocking the phone again and opening his text thread with Buck. They hadn’t texted since Buck asked him if he wanted a scone or a danish from their favorite coffee shop before their last shift. Eddie sighed and pressed the corner of the phone against his forehead.
He didn’t want to ask for help. He could spend another hour circling around the city. But he didn’t want to. He wanted this awful horrible day to be done. He wanted to hold his child and pretend for a little bit that everything was still whole. He sighed again before pressing call and pressing the phone to his ear.
————————
Eddie finally asks for what he needs in the aftermath of the sudden loss of his Abuela. Buck finally stops running from his grief. And then Eddie’s parents show up.

Summary
Ugh your dads suck, his friend Phoebe texts when he tells them where he’s gone for the summer. And – yeah. Yeah, they do. What are they even going to do while you’re there?
That’s a thing Chris usually doesn’t correct people about, the idea that he has Dads, Plural. It’s easier than talking about his dead mom, easier than answering people’s questions about why he only has Dad, Singular. People who have Mom, Singular don’t usually have to answer questions, but when it’s a dad, people get curious.
He doesn’t really get why, but he knows it’s easier to just let them assume things sometimes.
chris misses his dad. he misses his mom. he misses buck. he's still trying to figure out what it means that he misses them all in the same way.

Summary
“Are you finally proposing?” Buck asks, and the air rushes out of Eddie like he’s been punched in the gut, a swift burst.
Hearing it from Buck makes it real, solidified, no longer a shapeless fantasy in his head.
"Proposing what?”
“Marriage, genius.” Buck snorts. “Duh.”
Buck peels Eddie's pomegranates, carves out the brown spots from his apples, eats the ugly, discolored fruit. Eddie wants to propose, spirals, and crashes a car about it.

Summary
Buck’s hair is gray at the temples, buzzed neatly on the sides and a bit longer and curlier on top than Chris remembers him wearing it, and there’s a new scar through one of his eyebrows. He looks good, like he’s living a happy life, and the only possible reason Chris can imagine for Buck to be here at Helena Diaz’s funeral in El Paso is that Chris’s father brought him.
“Why would you come?” Chris snaps at him.
Buck blinks. “Why wouldn’t I come?”
“She didn’t mean anything to you.”
“I’m not here for her,” Buck scoffs. “She is dead. I’m here for him.”
or
Chris is forced to grapple with the choice he made eleven years ago when his father comes back for Helena’s funeral.

Summary
They were trapped.
Fire hadn’t broken through yet, but it was coming. Buck could feel the heat pushing in, wrapping around them like a warning. The smoke thickened, clawing at their throats, painting the walls with a haze of panic.
“So…” Eddie’s voice cut through the haze, rough around the edges but maddeningly calm. “You wanna talk about it now?”
Buck turned slowly, disbelief etched across every exhausted line of his face, and he hoped his deadpan glare said it all. He didn’t need to ask what Eddie was referring to.
No, he didn’t want to talk about how he accidentally told his best friend he loved him just hours earlier.
He’d rather let the fire take him.
A season 9 two-part opening emergency, in which a group of hijackers takeover Station 118.

“I just thought since your Bobby taught you, maybe you could teach me,” Chris shrugs.
“Yeah,” Buck breathes. “Yeah, I’d love to do that.”

“Uh uh uh!” Buck tuts. “There’s a system. We start with breakfast.”Or, Buck passes Bobby's recipes down to Chris and finds a whole lot of other things in the process.

“It’s not a crush, I’m a grown man,” Eddie counters, setting his mug down. He crosses his arms and tries not to fidget. “That’s silly.”
“What, so you’re in love with him?”
The question hits him somewhere near his ribcage. Eddie has to actively use every part of his brain to respond, correctly. Without—saying anything crazy. “Buck, he’s a famous singer.”
...or, Eddie has a crush on Orville Peck, who totally does not look like Buck.

Summary
Shannon's birthday is on her headstone, and Eddie and Chris are gone—still gone, gone right now, or maybe just… gone. Which is fine.
No one promised Buck anything—which is, unfortunately, becoming the theme of his entire fucking life, and—
What’s not fine is that it’s Shannon’s birthday, and he can’t just… do nothing, and Buck’s always liked sunflowers—he likes them for their heliotropism, the way that younger flowers follow the path of the sun, day in and day out, turning toward the warmest, brightest part of the world. Dedicated. Undeniably alive. Only ever trying to grow.
He wonders if Shannon liked sunflowers. He wonders if she even liked celebrating her birthday.
Buck’s been wondering a lot, lately, about Shannon—all the things they have in common.
Then, he gets hit by a car.
—
Or: Eddie moves to El Paso, and Buck gets a hobby. Shannon does not haunt the narrative so much as she violently possesses it.

“My, uh. My dad’s had a heart attack,” he says, sort of like it hasn’t sunk in yet, “He’s still in the hospital, it was. It was pretty bad, I think.”
“I’m sorry, Buck,” says Chris, “Is he going to be okay?”
“I don’t know,” says Buck, “She wasn't. It wasn’t clear, it was, she was. She wants me to go.”
“Do you want to?” Eddie asks, quiet, and Buck’s eyes snap back to him.
“Eddie,” he says, wretched, “She wants me to help. She wants me. She wants me.”
----Or, Philip Buckley has a heart attack, and Buck, Eddie, and Chris all fly to Hershey. What else are best friends for?

Summary
“Your boy—Buck,” Brad says. “First marriage?”
“Pardon?”
“Well, your wife is—” Brad starts, stops. Remembers at least a third of the lecture he’s been given at least a dozen times by his publicist on the danger of making assumptions. “He calls your wife by her given name—I mean, does the same to you, but I’d reckon that has more to do with professionalism than personal grievances, given the fact that you clearly get on.”
—and fuck, maybe that’s another thing Brad should try to learn by watching Bobby.

in which Brad Torrence only almost passes out, and observes the aftermath.

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
Buck remembers how proud he was about all of his software updates. 2.0, 3.0. Maybe if he shed 100 skins and improved himself enough, 3.0 to infinity, someone could take a look at him and find something worth keeping. Because that’s what he kept telling himself: nobody is ever gonna want you enough to keep you.
But Eddie had kept him. He’s keeping him, still, he just has to go.
Eddie is moving to Texas. Buck finally figures out what he wants.

Summary
“If LA is home, why are you trying to leave it?” he asks. “You don’t magically become someone else when you move to a new place. You’d be the same old Eddie. Texas isn’t going to fill the hole Shannon’s death left in you.”
“Then what is? Tell me,” Eddie demands.
And he could say that Buck’s been waiting around for him, that he’s been perfecting himself to one day be worthy of Eddie, that they could be an item, a damn glorious one.
They could have everything if they dared.
But this isn’t about him.

Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.
