Summary
“God, Dad. No.” He huffed in displeasure. “I'm not— It's Buck, Dad.”
Eddie barely ever heard that name anymore, except for an echo in his own head, and he went still, looking down at his phone and then replacing it by his ear.
“What— what about him?” Eddie asked, hoping he sounded less thrown off guard than he felt. Hoping he sounded less breathless through the phone than he did to his own ears.
“I got, um, an invite. To his wedding.”
OR -
A story told across five years. Eddie finds out Buck is marrying someone else and reflects on what brought them to this - and what, if anything, he can do about it.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
Diaz gets right up in his face and wow, his eyes are even more beautiful up close.
“You can endanger yourself as much as you want if you’ve got a death wish, but you don’t get to put your team or the people we are trying to save on the line.”
Then he’s turning on his heels and storming away.
And look, Buck will be pissed off about it later, how Diaz thought he could just walk up to Buck and spit him out like that, but right now he’s got a perfect view of Diaz’s ass as he walks away and his upper brain immediately stops working because fuck, what an ass. Buck really wants to get his hands on it and squeeze.
Too bad the guy it’s attached to is a bit of a dick.
OR
Probational Firefighters Evan “Buck” Buckley and Eddie Diaz meet on a call which ends with them at odds with each other.
As the months roll by, they keep running into each other on the job, much to Eddie’s dismay and Buck’s delight.
Can they put aside their first opinions and misunderstandings and allow the seeds of friendship, and possibly something more, to take root?

Summary
Buck is all in. He’s one-hundred percent, give em everything he’s got, will do anything Maddie asks—
“You can’t tell anyone,” Maddie suddenly becomes so serious Buck feels like he has whiplash.
He blinks a few times, brow furrowed, “Well, yeah I know that.”
“No, Buck,” Maddie leans forward covering his hand with her own, “I mean it. No one else is allowed to know about this.”
Buck opens his mouth, but Maddie reads him like the traitorous sister that she is and cuts him off by saying, “That includes Eddie.”
“Maddie,” Buck whines, and he’s very well aware at how pathetic it sounds, “that’s not fair! It’s — he’s — it’s Eddie!”
[or Maddie wants to propose to Chimney. She gets Buck involved. Buck can't tell anyone. He somehow proposes to Eddie instead.]

Summary
Buck let the fragments fall to the garbage, moving to bang his head against the ladder truck after. Why did he always have the worst luck?
“Here, try this one.”
Buck turned to see Eddie stood there, his eyes not quite meeting Buck as he handed out a package. Raising his brows, Buck reached out cautiously, taking the box in his hands, letting his fingers brush against Eddie’s for longer than was necessary.
“What is it?”
Eddie gave that stern look of his, the one he usually reserved for Christopher when it was time to put the video games away, the man crossing his arms together. “Just open it.”
Ok Eddie; keep your secrets.
Buck took out his pocket knife, using it to cut the tape off before putting it back in place. He carefully opened the package, shaking out the contents into his hands. After pulling off the bubble wrap that surrounded it, Buck took the item into hand, instantly noting its’ sturdiness.
“You—you bought me a clipboard?”
—or—
Five time's Eddie gets Buck custom clipboards, and the one time Buck gets Eddie one
