Summary
Buck is fucking frozen. His mouth is dry, and his brain is blank except for oh no, oh fuck reverberating in his frontal lobe. He can’t answer. He feels the pressure against the metaphorical closet door, the hinges creaking against the weight of the boxes crashing down.
“Are those… hearing aids?” He registers Eddie's voice through the ringing in his ears.
It takes him a moment before he can finally whisper it out. He feels his head nod against his will.
“Yeah.”
The door gives out.
or: how a conversation about tardigrades results in buck grappling with a disability he's suppressed, getting hearing aids, and realizing that the family he craves has been there for him all along. in that order.

Summary
As beginnings go... theirs could have gone so much better.
"Finally giving in, Buck dropped the weights and spun to face Diaz with a snarl. “What?”
“What, man?” Diaz replied taken aback, his eyes snapping up from Buck’s chest to his face quickly.
“Like what you see or something, Diaz?”
“Sorry, no.” Buck raised an eyebrow, strangely disappointed in his answer."
The story of two men trying, failing, and maybe eventually succeeding in navigating their developing relationship while life throws absolutely everything at them.

Summary
When “Stark's Ink Parlor” owner Evan "Buck" Buckley first moved to Los Angeles several years ago, he brought with him a singular ambition—to establish his own unique tattoo parlor in a city already teeming with such establishments. Despite the fierce competition, Buck’s artistry swiftly gained traction, thanks in part to the glowing endorsements of his satisfied clientele. He skillfully manages the ins and outs of his thriving tattoo business while also devoting his time to supporting his sister Maddie by assisting her flower shop and at her booth on Saturdays at the bustling local farmer's market.
One day, Eddie Diaz, a defenseman for the Los Angeles Kings hockey team, unexpectedly strolls into Buck's tattoo parlor. Little did Buck realize that this fateful meeting would significantly alter the course of both their lives.

Summary
“Chimney says that Eddie’s been moping,” Maddie said airly as she fixed herself some breakfast.
He vaguely remembered a Chimney on the roster when Buck had maybe googled Eddie’s name after he couldn’t sleep. If it was because he couldn’t stop thinking about the way Eddie’s hands curved over the slope of his waist, then that was between him and his search engine.
“Since when have you been talking to a hockey goalie?”
“Since you and the hockey power forward went and drunkenly made out on the dance floor,” Maddie said as she settled a plate of breakfast in front of him. “Eat.”

Summary
After the tsunami that devastated Los Angeles, Athena goes to the rescue after a report of people in need of help. To her horror, she finds Christopher and Buck stranded amidst the wreckage of the city. And Buck’s leg is pinned — the same leg that had only just healed from being crushed by a ladder truck.
As time runs out, Buck is being crushed all over again, and Athena faces an impossible choice. With Christopher watching, she must decide: do the unthinkable, risking Buck’s career as a firefighter forever, or hesitate — and let the man beloved by the 118 die in front of the boy who might as well be his son?

Summary
Eddie licked his dry lips as he reached for his radio, trying to keep his movements slow and delicate to prevent any more damage to himself or Buck. “Diaz to Captain Nash.”
“Go for Nash,” came Bobby’s quick reply. “You two okay? Where are you?”
“We’re in a bit of a sticky situation here…”
“We’re a shish kabob, Cap!” Buck chimed in.
Eddie rolled his eyes.

Summary
“So, a witch, huh?”
Buck froze for half a second before the irritation took over and made him grit his teeth. What was with this dude? Buck clenched his fist at his side as he turned to Eddie, who was perfectly coiffed with his stupid perfect dangerous hair and stupid pretty un-trustable smirk. Eddie waved his hand in front of him with a twist of his wrist, motioning between them.
“I figured that’s what got you all riled up about me being here.”

AMAZING! This one is a must read for sure!

Summary
The AU where Bobby adopted Evan when he was six years old, and then twenty years later Eddie joins the 118 and starts dating Buck... and no one initially realises that Evan and Buck are, in fact, the same person. Part 1 is the story of the identity shenanigans and the reveal.
Part 3 is a collection of missing scenes from the original story, while Parts 4 ('how it could have gone') and 5 ('another way it could have gone') are outtakes and depict two different scenarios where the reveal of Buck and Evan being the same person go a different way.
Part 2 'oh captain my captain' is a prequel and shows the 118 meeting Bobby and then later on Evan.
Part 6 'these are the days we've been waiting for' is the story of Buck's first day at the 118.
Part 7 'may you live in interesting times' is a sequel to that takes place about a year or so later, and Part 8 'I once was lost (but now I'm found)' directly follows on and is a full-length sequel and prequel to the main story.
This series as it is now is standalone and can be considered complete. The only reason I haven't marked it as such is because I do expect to be adding additional installments at some point in the future. Happy reading!
