    Summary

    He’d turned them all one by one, with their consent, always making sure it was their choice. Even if he was thirsty, starving for it. Buck would never hurt his precious people, his family. The ones he loved the most. The ones who have chosen to live for eternity with him.

    Then Buck meets Eddie Diaz and he thinks that his entire life has just shifted. He’s human too, Bobby hired a human probie to work with a group of vampires, and it’s almost funny because Eddie doesn’t seem to have a single clue about any of them.

    Or Buck and Maddie are vampires that build their family over the years and when Buck meets Eddie and Chris, it feels like their family is complete

    Summary

    "So why are you going to Texas?" Eddie gestured towards the big, lit up Christmas tree in the corner of the room. "So close to the holidays."

    "Work." Buck said easily.

    "What's work?"

    He rolled his lips and seemed to think the question over, "I guess you could say this is a volunteer trip. My actual job is working with reindeer."

    Eddie chuckled, "Reindeer?" He shook his head. "Like the type that fly?"

    "That's a specific breed." Buck winked. "Yeah, reindeer. I'm a specialist."

    "And you're volunteering in El Paso?"

    "Yeah," Buck shrugged and held up two fingers towards the hostess, gesturing for Eddie to step first after her and towards a table. "Everyone else thought it was a lost cause, but I've been a lost cause before too, so," He shrugged. "I figured why not?"

    "And what exactly is this lost cause?" Eddie asked after thanking the hostess and sitting down.

    Buck hummed, "Reuniting a family."

    Summary

    The kid claps a hand over his mouth. His eyes are huge and sparkling with something that looks like excitement or mischief, probably both.

    "Sorry, sorry," he whispers loudly. Then he leans forward, like he's about to share a secret. "You're a hunk, right?"

    Buck chokes on nothing. "I. What?"

    "A hunk," the kid repeats. "You know, a hunk."

    "I..." Buck has no idea what's happening. "Sure? I guess? I mean, I've been told... I work out sometimes—"

    "Perfect!" The kid is already digging around in his backpack. He pulls out a slightly crumpled rectangle of cardstock and presents it to Buck with great ceremony. "This is for you."

    It's a handmade card written in crayon, blue crayon. The handwriting is careful but wobbly, the letters all different sizes.

    My dad likes boys and is single. He is a HERO and fights fires like Superman. He is a hunk. If intrested, please contact Chris Diaz.

    Summary

    There’s a billboard. Which is a normal thing to find on the side of the interstate. Advertisements for car dealerships and injury lawyers and anything you could ever dream of. This, though… this is beyond his wildest dreams.

    This billboard has a picture of a man, about Eddie’s age, blond curly hair and crystal blue eyes.

    The man on the billboard is—

    He is—

    The billboard text swims into focus slowly, as if Eddie is surfacing from deep water.

    THIS IS BUCK.
    HE’S 33, SINGLE, AND A FIREFIGHTER.
    HE’S A GREAT COOK IF YOU DON’T MIND
    BREAKFAST FOOD FOR EVERY MEAL.
    I’M BEGGING SOMEONE TO DATE HIM SO
    HE STOPS THIRD-WHEELING MY MARRIAGE.

    And then, underneath, in smaller letters:

    ALL GENDERS WELCOME TO APPLY.
    I'M DESPERATE AND HE'S HOPELESS.

    PLEASE CONTACT MADDIE AT:
    [email protected]
