Summary
Buck held the little plastic bird close in front of his eyes, twisting it back and forth.
“You can say it, Buck,” Eddie encouraged, quietly. “To put it out there in… the universe. And you’ll see her tomorrow, anyway.”
“I think…” Buck took a huge breath, breathing deep into his chest, past the hurt, past the hard rock of anxiety that sat at its center, past the tears welling in his eyes; he aimed all of it back out, straight into the heart of the deep, deep universe.
“I think I met my daughter tonight.”
or;
A work of fate or God or man or the universe crosses the paths of Buck and a small, green-eyed girl with a bird in her palm and the future in her snaggle-toothed grin. Two and a half years after the events of Lighthouse, the Diazes become the Diazes.

Summary
“I’m not going to dignify a single word of that with a response. But you’ve made yourself clear. I’ll give you this, though, Ramón: you were right about one thing: I do have to be the man of the house. And-- as such-- you raised me to do at least one thing right: when a man talks about my family like that, they are no longer welcome in mine.”
“Eddie--” Helena cut in.
“Get out,”” Eddie growled at the both of them. “And don’t come back.”
or;
almost a year after the events of Lighthouse, Buck and Eddie host the Diaz parents, planning to reveal the truth of their relationship. Missteps are made, miscommunications abound, and things go just about as well as either one of them really expected.

Summary
Eddie is working hard on figuring himself out, getting a life, and also reestablishing contact with Buck after worrying about them drifting apart and their friendship changing. Realizing that sometimes people misunderstand his relationship with Buck should not be the shock it is. Also, if Chris could stop launching verbal sneak attacks on him, he'd appreciate it.
Meanwhile, Buck's learning to parent a toddler while not at all being insecure about something said by one Margaret Buckley. He's just studiously avoiding the word 'Parent' like the plague, and otherwise doing his damn best.
or
If Buck had a nickel for every time someone left him their kid in their will without his knowledge—well, he’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice now.

Summary
So he curls his fingers around the wood of his clipboard and clears his throat. “You have really nice hands, you know,” is what he goes with.
Eddie jerks back just a bit, dropping the halligan into the compartment with a thud as he turns shocked eyes back to Buck. “What?”
“Yeah,” god, what does he even say, “they’re uh, strong. And capable. You know, like…they can do a lot of things.”
Okay, so, maybe this whole plan needs a little bit of work.
buck is on a mission to help eddie recover his self-confidence. it goes well for exactly zero parties involved.
