Summary
On his first day, Eddie sees the ghost before he meets him.
There is a boy, younger than Christopher but not by much, who runs around the station like it’s a playground. For a second, while Eddie is pulling a shirt over his head, he thinks the boy is real and someone ought to be watching out for him because a fire station is no place for a kid that young to play unsupervised.
And then the boy, pale, skinny and too frail for his age, passes through an exiting member of C shift like wind through a plastic bag. A ghost.
“Who the hell is that?”
Eddie watches as the ghost – just a fucking kid, really – whips his head around to the voice. His face lights up and Eddie’s heart sinks because how cruel can this world be?
He turns around and Eddie is struck. The man is strong and broad, all blue eyes and defined features. If it weren’t for the splotch of color above his eyebrow, Eddie would think that the man and the little boy standing at his side were genetic matches.
OR Eddie Diaz can see ghosts — that’s nothing new. The little boy following around his new coworker is a different story.

Summary
“But, Shannon…”
Shannon looks up at him with an understanding that can only come from someone who knows him as intimately as she does. Eddie knows that she knows.
They have too many bills, too little money, and only one real option.
It’s then that Christopher wakes up, and the two of them walk to his crib. It is Eddie that picks him up and cradles him close to his chest as they return to the couch.
All three of them cry on that couch, and it is not Eddie’s proudest moment as a parent, but what does it matter?
What does any of it matter?
Eddie is gay and Shannon is lesbian, but they are both broke. Eddie has to re-enlist.

Summary
Eddie is fast. Buck doesn’t know when to give up. You can imagine what happens next.
***
“We should race, is all I’m saying.”
Eddie shoots him a look like he wants to ask why on Earth Buck, as a grown ass man, would want to race another grown ass man before he simply shrugs. “If you want. Just to my house?” He points forward, where Eddie’s mailbox is quickly coming into view.
“Not now,” Buck shakes his head but his chest tightens at the thought. Weird. “I’m already tired, I don’t want to be at a disadvantage. Not that I think you would have the advantage over me, but we should be at our best.”
Eddie laughs again, softer and less surprised. “At our best,” he repeats. “Right.” He leans closer, getting right up into Buck’s personal space until all Buck can smell is sweat and Eddie. “I think you just don’t want to lose,” Eddie taunts, and Buck is close enough to have front row access to the way a droplet of sweat drips from his hair and slides down his temple and cheek until it hooks down his jaw and underneath the collar of his tank top.

Summary
“Hey!” Buck calls out, spotting the lunch box that neither Eddie nor Christopher grabbed before leaving. “You forgetting something?”
Eddie sticks his head back in the door. “Oh, sorry,” he says, still half-distracted as his self-imposed time schedule comes crashing down on him. He approaches Buck at the counter, and before Buck can reach over and snag the lunch box, Eddie cranes his neck to drop a swift kiss on Buck’s lips.
“See you after work!” Eddie calls over his shoulder before he’s out the door, leaving Buck in the kitchen still clutching a lunch box in his hands.
Buck blinks. His lips tingle. “Bye,” he says to the empty house.

Summary
Eddie hates going to church.
As a kid, when he had no say in the matter, his mom would force him into a suffocating button up and freshly starched khakis. His dad would shoot him looks from the corner of his eye and give him a swift nudge when Eddie was too slow to kneel or lagging on the and also with you back to the priest.
On days like those, Eddie would inevitably find a Bible set aside on his bedroom dresser, a specific passage carefully marked out by Ramon. Every time Eddie saw that Bible in his room, dread would consume him. It would crawl up his throat and steal his breath. The walls would close until there was nowhere for Eddie to escape. The Bible dogged his every step.
