Or: Shane is bad at adjusting to unexpected changes and Hayden is a good friend. A fix-it fic for Episode 4.

Summary
Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.
The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.
Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.
-----
In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

Summary
Eddie reckons with the forces that have kept him stuck in the past on a holiday visit to his hometown. He has a choice to make, but not the one he believes he's facing down when he gets on the plane just before Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, Buck can see the writing on the wall. This is how he loses his best friend. The same way he's already lost Christopher to the miles of distance between California and Texas. He's trapped in a cycle of loss and not sure how he's going to cope.
-⚔️-
In which I make El Paso matter, Eddie and Chris repair their relationship, and Buck goes through a period of self-discovery. Could all of their introspection lead Buck and Eddie to come crashing back together in a new way?

Summary
They’d promised each other, sworn blind that they wouldn’t let him get a rise out of them. That they weren’t going to snap and give Gerrard and his ugly ass presence what he wanted.
Despite that promise, the following shift they all had after Buck being wrung out, it happened.
“What in the hell is that?” Gerrard’s arms were folded, eyes narrowed, looking to all the world a villain from an 1800s children’s novel.
Eddie, who Buck had never seen quite so obviously looking to start something, turned on his heel from the coffee machine, the shadow of a smirk written across his face.
“What’s what?” Eddie asked coolly, as if he didn’t have a caterpillar crawling along his upper lip to match Gerrard’s.
OR - Eddie is a little unhinged since Christopher left. When Buck gets yelled at for having facial hair, Eddie makes a spectacle out of his own.

searching for planes in the sea(and that's irony) by BooyahFordhamYacht

Summary
Buck is not okay after the tsunami. Eddie is figuring out just how much everyone already knows about him and Buck. Everyone, it seems, except for him and Buck.
...
Eddie gasps out another breath of relief and hugs Christopher tighter, trying to dig himself out of the pit in his stomach, the one he’d been falling deeper and deeper into for the brief moment where he’d thought Christopher was gone.
For a moment, his heart soars, because his son is alive and Buck is alive, and they’re both right here, and they’re both okay, and he can see Chim and Bobby and Hen gathering around Buck. His heart soars.
And then Buck collapses, and Eddie’s heart slams right back into the dirt.

Summary
It unravels, somewhere between a strawberry milkshake and a burger that drips grease onto the Formica table, when Christopher says:
“I have to go to church on Wednesday.”
Eddie pauses with a fry halfway to his mouth and dripping in ketchup, and glances over the table at him. “On Wednesday?” he repeats. “For what?”
Chris shrugs one shoulder. “There’s a-a healing service.”
Eddie slowly sets the fry back down on his tray as Christopher takes a bite of his burger. “Healing service,” Eddie says. He’s trying not to jump to conclusions— really, he is, both because he wants to give his parents the benefit of the doubt and because if this is going where he thinks it’s going, he might actually lose his mind.
“Yeah,” Christopher says. “It might be a good idea.”
or: eddie goes to texas and finds that the situation is worse than he'd thought.

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
Eddie doesn’t realise the pattern until Karen says, “You’re collecting us like Pokémon.”
“What, Wilsons?” Eddie says. He’s mostly distracted by Christopher on the couch, who is with Denny showing Miles, Hen and Karen’s newest foster, how to play Animal Crossing on his Switch. Miles is already developing the same starry-eyed look in his eyes Christopher himself gets around Buck. “You certainly don’t make it hard.”
“Not Wilsons, dummy,” Karen says. “Lesbians.”
Which is—not what Eddie was expecting her to say. “Uh. What?”
or, Eddie befriends May and Linda at dispatch. Then realises some stuff.

Summary
“Family doesn’t have to be you, and Christopher, and a woman that could maybe be his mother. It can just be you and Christopher. It can be you, and Christopher, and the people around you that love you enough to never stop trying.”
“Like Buck.” Eddie doesn’t mean to voice it, but it feels nice to do it anyway.
“Sure,” Frank nods. There is a smile on his face, one that Eddie doesn’t think he’s seen before. “Like Buck.”
***
Eddie Diaz’s life is going great. He’s in therapy, he’s got a great girlfriend, a great kid, his friend is getting married to the woman of his dreams, and his best friend just came out to him.
Now his best friend is dating their new friend.
Things are going great. He promises.

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
Eddie really didn’t intend to keep it a secret for so long.
Especially not from Buck. Buck, who believes so strongly in the possibility of things beyond his own comprehension, who would never be freaked out by anything about Eddie. Buck who trusts him, who believes in the universe, who would be delighted to know that his best friend has real-life magic. It’s just—
All of the women in the Johansson family have magic. All of the women, that is, except for Adriana and Sophia.
Helena can’t explain it. It’s Eddie’s fault, of course, he’s the one who stole the magic which rightfully belonged to his sisters, but his mother has never quite pinned down how he managed that. Her own mother didn’t know why little six-month-old Eddie was able to make his bottle float, and she was dead before she could learn that both of her granddaughters had been born without magic.
According to historians, seiðr was a traditionally feminine religious practice among the Old Norse. According to Eddie’s mother, seiðr is the birthright of a woman and a woman only, and Eddie is an aberration.

Summary
“Okay, I know we kind of all had an unspoken rule not to talk about it, but…”
“Buck and Eddie are being weird as hell?” Chim asked, sucking in a breath like he'd been holding back from letting the same thought out for far too long.
“Yes!” Hen hissed, relieved that she wasn't the only to see the weirdness in the room. “Now, look, they're my friends and so obviously I want them to be happy, but it's also just throwing the team vibe way off.”
Bobby took a long, tired breath. “Okay. So what did you have in mind?”
Several things, as it turned out. Between them, they managed to come up with the very vague outline of a plan. Or a few plans, really, depending on how many failed.
OR -
When Buck and Eddie aren't speaking, Hen decides to take matters into her own hands.

Summary
“Bless your heart, you really are new to this. Good for y’all, though. I’m glad this ship is… accepting.”
Eddie straightens in his seat. “What does that mean?”
All four wince as a young man taps the microphone onstage.
“Testing, testing,” he jokes. “Welcome to the Cruisin’ Couples Trivia Tournament!”
The patrons around them cheer. Eddie digs his nails into Buck’s skin harsh enough to make him wince.
“Oh,” he breathes. “This is for couples.”
or: After getting dumped, Buck is left with two tickets to a weeklong cruise. Eddie steps in to support a friend in need, but complications arise when his friend becomes his fake husband. All's fair in love, war, and trivia.
