    Summary

    And let your best be for your friend.
    If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
    For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
    Seek him always with hours to live.
    “On Friendship,” Kahlil Gibran (From “The Prophet)

    “Uhm, do you have a preferred side?” Eddie asks. His tongue is so dry in his mouth. He should have had more water at the bar.
    Buck shrugs, glancing at the neat stack of pillows against the headboard. “This side is good.” He licks his lips. His broad frame somehow looks small, like he’s pulled himself inwards.

    “Do you -” Buck starts to say, then pauses, rubs his palms against his thighs. “Do you want to, like, build a pillow wall down the middle?”

    Or: Buck and Eddie attend a Firefighter Convention in Indianapolis. And wouldn't you know it, there's only one bed. You know how this goes.

    Summary

    The entirety of this day seems like a dream. A weird, life-changing, terrifying dream.
    Buck has always wanted kids. More than one, more than two, perhaps three or four. Children to dote on, to teach all he knows, to love and cherish the way he wasn’t.
    But…NOW?
    Is he ready?
    Is he ever going to be ready?
    .
    OR
    .
    Natalia surprises Buck with a pregnancy. He's going to be a father. Obviously, it changes EVERYTHING.

    Summary

    Buck, 27
    Firefighter

     

    What made me apply for Love is Blind? Uh, well, it's been a couple of months since my last serious relationship ended. Which was also my first serious relationship. But I feel like I'm ready for a real commitment. That, and one of my coworkers made me apply, so if this all goes wrong, blame Chimney.

     

    Eddie, 28
    Firefighter

     

    My sisters actually applied for me. They said it wouldn't be like other dating shows, that's its meant to be like a science experiment. My wife- sorry, my ex-wife, still getting used to it, divorced me fairly recently. I want to get back in the dating pool, but it's hard when you're a single dad. I'd like to find a real connection, and somehow this seems preferable to having my tía set me up on dates with her friends’ daughters.

    Buck and Eddie meet on Love is Blind, and find themselves more drawn to each other than the women they're supposed to be falling in love with.

    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.

    Summary

    “Okay, did you just come from the afterlife or whatever to insult me?”

    Eddie realizes he’s handling this surprisingly well. He should be freaking out way more. Maybe he’s just been through too much crazy shit to actually question anything anymore.

    “Oh no! But I’m very glad you ask. I’m here to get you to face yourself. And for that-” She clears her throat and the next couple of words she says come across very memorized. “Tonight you will be haunted by three spirits. And without-”

    “Wait, wait, wait,” Eddie interrupts. Because this is ridiculous. “You’re here to Christmas Carol me?”

    Shannon smiles. “Pretty much, yeah.” She shrugs.

    or: Eddie gets visited by three ghosts who help him realize that maybe, just maybe, he's not as straight as he thinks.

    Summary

    Hen reaches out of her bunk to turn off the overhead light. Buck’s face is illuminated by the glow of his phone. After a minute or so, he locks the screen, his face disappearing into the darkness.

    “So what was everyone’s first kiss like?”

    The Station 118 bunkroom has witnessed a lot over the years. Private conversations, spats, occasions of affection, joy, and anguish. It’s seen pranks, and games, and camaraderie. It’s even been privy to an unfolding love story or two.

    It holds the memory of each of these moments.

    Summary

    Buck leans into Eddie’s touch, just for a second, before clearing his throat. “They want me to take temporary emergency custody. Just until better arrangements are made.”

    The loft falls eerily silent. It would be almost comical, the way the entire team has simultaneously held their breath, if he didn’t feel like a lead weight was resting on his shoulders.

    Hen, ever pragmatic, is the first to recover. She looks at him with an expression Buck can only call cautious, gentle and kind around the edges. “Temporary?”

    “I couldn’t abandon her.” He can feel something just behind his teeth, waiting to spill out, but he can’t quite name it. “Not if I could do something about it.”

    (or, buck fosters a traumatised teen and together they start to heal.)

    Summary

    “So let me get this straight,” Hen says, once she’s stopped laughing at him. “Your nerd crush-”

    “-Evan Buckley,” Eddie miserably interjects.

    “Your nerd crush,” Hen repeats, waggling her eyebrows. At the kitchen table beside her, Chimney is grinning like Christmas just came early. “Read your drunk tweet and then sent you animal facts via DM?”

    or: Buck's a zoologist. Eddie's pretty sure he's in love.

    Summary

    ✽~✽ Canon-Divergent AU ✽~✽ Since returning from her one-woman mission to force the Norn into returning Dyson’s love, Kenzi’s scent was different. Between fighting the Garuda and forcing himself to move on from his love for Bo, Dyson never even noticed, at least, not until it was nearly too late. Finding her just as a mysterious, albeit powerless [not to mention batshit insane] Fae attacks her, Dyson finally learns about Kenzi's accidental gift from the Norn. Trick, of course, has answers, even when they’re answers no one likes … say for instance that with Inari out of the picture before she could take back her powers (thanks, wolf-shifter temper!), Kenzi has two choices, either one will change her life forever.
