Summary
Eddie wasn’t sure why he and Maddie weren’t close. It was strange, considering her little brother was the most important person in his life. Still, when the door opened, tight hugs were exchanged and cheerful welcome homes rang in his ears. “Does Bobby know? I gotta call Bobby!”, Chimney yelled.
“Could you wait a minute?”, Eddie interjected. His eyes darted between them for a moment and landed on Chim, deciding he was his best bet. “Maybe first explain to me why I went to see Buck and his loft was empty. Am I missing something? Did he move?”

Summary
Eddie let him get halfway through his beer while talking about road construction techniques and whether it was a myth that modern roads were sized based on the width of Roman chariot axles. Then, in a brief lull, Eddie said, "So what's up?"
"Um... with the chariots?"
Nice try, said Eddie's expression. "No, Buck," said his mouth. "What's up with you lately? I know something's going on."

Summary
Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”
It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.
The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.
Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

Summary
There are always open spots for firefighters, but across the El Paso Fire Department, there wasn’t a shift or station that had two empty spaces. Instead, Buck is at Station 14, takes A-shift; Eddie’s at Station 9, takes B-shift. Their schedules are off-kilter. In the two weeks they’ve been living in El Paso, Buck’s only seen Eddie for a couple hours on their shared day off. It’s been a struggle, he’ll admit that. He’s gone from seeing Eddie nearly every day to catching glimpses of him, like they’re roommates on disjointed schedules.
Buck misses him.
Eddie moves to Texas; Buck follows, miserably.

He leaned down and pressed his lips to Draco's salve-coated ones. He was so angry, but he knew by now this anger was a symptom of grief for a love lost before it had even been fully grasped.
or
Draco, after being widowed and cursed and left alone with six-year-old Scorpius, stumbles into a life he'd never hoped to deserve: love, a real family, a home for his son. Just in time to die.

He stood over the body for a moment. The guy was face up, but he was such a mess that it was impossible to make out any distinctive facial features. His eyes were tightly shut.

“Are you alive?” he asked.
“Unfortunately.”*
Buck is a street racer. Eddie is in a fight club. They're both alone, so alone.
One night, Buck finds Eddie's bleeding body at the side of the road. And everything sets off from there.Bookmarked by PrettyAwkwardRandom

Summary
The static of a police scanner was a normal sound that filled the silence in DT's garage each day. There had once been music that blasted through the speakers, but when Officer Brian O' Conner finally found his way home, Jessie rigged the scanner to the speakers instead.
"You don't need any backup there do you O' Conner?" Another cop had asked with a chuckle.
"Shut it Jameson, you probably couldn't figure out how to release the parking brake to be available for backup."
"On second thought, Jameson I could use some backup, these moms are getting handsy." He said in a quiet voice.

Summary
Castiel never expected to see Dean Winchester again. But when he returns to his Idaho hometown after 10 years away, an accidental tumble into a creek on Winchester Ranch throws him back into the path of his unrequited high school love.
Dean never expected to see his high school crush Castiel Novak again and he certainly didn't expect to find Cas in his creek one Thursday morning. It's an uncomfortable reunion, made even more so when Cas is hired as the accountant to help the failing Winchester Ranch out of the red—and when Dean and Castiel begin to realize that their feelings aren't nearly as unrequited as they thought.

Summary

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
Hen scoffed. “I never said I wanted to be part of your hair-brained scheme.”
“Please, Hen. I can’t try and explain to another one of my children that Uncle Buck and Uncle Eddie aren’t actually married, they’re just like That.” When Hen remained unmoved, Chimney added, “I need you. I can’t do this without your help.”
Hen just stared at Chim; her arms crossed. Buck couldn’t see her face, but he had a pretty good idea of what expression she was making, dark brows drawn together, eyes narrowed, lips pursed.
“Ugh,” she groaned at last, “fine, I’ll help you.” Chim almost started to whoop in delight, when Hen cut him off. “On one condition,” she said. “You’re not allowed to tell one of them that the other is dead. They already have enough trauma around that.”
Chim pouted. “You’re no fun.”
(Or, It’s 2025, and no one knows that they’re dating)

“You’re staring,” Buck mutters, not bothering to look up.
“You’re pretty,” Eddie replies without missing a beat, standing to take his place beside Buck on the bed.
Buck’s head snaps up, his eyes meeting Eddie’s. The blush that spreads across his cheeks is subtle, but Eddie notices it immediately. He files ‘ petnames’ away in his mental Buck Folder, labeled with a giant Important.
“ You ’re trouble,” Buck says, though there’s no real heat in his voice.
“And you only know the half of it,”

Summary
“My mom died,” Buck says flatly, like reciting a fact he read somewhere. He adds a small shrug, as if that explains it. It doesn’t feel real. The words sit in the air, weightless and strange.
Eddie frowns. Bobby shifts closer.
“Are you okay?” Bobby asks gently.
Buck blinks at him, then gives a quick nod, too fast to be convincing. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is thin, brittle. “Did you want me to start lunch? I was thinking maybe that cheesy broccoli bake.”
Eddie’s brows knit together. “Buck…” he says carefully, voice low and steady.
“Or chili,” Buck continues, his hands smoothing out a crease in his jacket like that’s the thing that matters. “I think we’ve got enough ground beef.”
“Buck,” Eddie says again, firmer this time.
Buck’s hands still. He finally looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.
Oh.
His mom died.
or
Margaret Buckley dies, and Buck tries to navigate grief, develops a complex relationship with apple pie, while Eddie, as always, is there.
