Summary
“You’re cheating,” Buck accuses.
“I’m winning,” Eddie pants, looking far too smug.
“I’m—” Buck tries to tug his arms free from Eddie’s hold to no avail. How is Eddie so damn strong? “I’m letting you.”
“You’re letting me pin you down? Do you like getting your ass handed to you, Buck?”
Heat floods Buck’s gut. He does like getting his ass handed to him. Or—no, well… he likes being pinned, or thrown against walls, or–or floors. But that’s different. That’s a sex thing. This is definitely not a sex thing. This is a bro thing. They’re bro-wrestling. Bro-housing. This is the most platonic thing Buck’s done in his entire life. He doesn’t know why he’s sweating.
Channelling his inner carpet python, he gives a determined wriggle, but Eddie’s hands tighten around his wrists. The feeling sends a shock through Buck’s spinal column.
Oh no.
Eddie, breathless and beautiful above him, repeats, “Say uncle.”
Breath stuttering out of him, Buck freezes.
Use your head, Buck thinks. His dick twitches. Then, panicked, the big one.
Or: Buck and Eddie wrestle over the remote. They forget the remote.

“Do you remember learning about wishbabies in school?” Eddie asks him.
“Yeah,” Christopher says, and Eddie doesn’t have to look to know there’s a confused frown in his son’s face. “When two people love each other very much and want to have a family together, sometimes a baby appears to give them that!”
“You’re right.” Eddie says as he parks the car on the side of the road, not trusting himself to drive safely while he has this conversation.

Summary
"The man who died today, Evan Buckley. He was your father, honey.”
In five words, the earth gave out below Mickey. She was thankful to have been sitting on the couch’s arm, unprepared for the loss of gravity, reality, and common sense she felt mere seconds ago.
Mickey wished she’d looked closer at the broadcast, scrutinized every detail of this man’s face, and pasted it over her own until she could pinpoint the things she owed to him. She wanted to ask him his favorite color, his favorite animal, all of the things she could, and have him ask the same back out of genuine curiosity for his daughter. But now he was lost, gone before Mickey knew to miss him. Not saying a word, she stood up and marched to her room, ignoring her mother’s calls and the dinging of the heated stove. Mickey Morrison opened her phone, typed in ‘Evan Buckley’, and started to scroll, wiping the tears off her screen.
After a tragic outbreak of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever 'kills' firefighter Evan Buckley, Mickey Morrison discovers her lost parentage and seeks out the 118 to connect with her deceased father. The only problem is, Buck isn't really dead.

Summary
Buck held the little plastic bird close in front of his eyes, twisting it back and forth.
“You can say it, Buck,” Eddie encouraged, quietly. “To put it out there in… the universe. And you’ll see her tomorrow, anyway.”
“I think…” Buck took a huge breath, breathing deep into his chest, past the hurt, past the hard rock of anxiety that sat at its center, past the tears welling in his eyes; he aimed all of it back out, straight into the heart of the deep, deep universe.
“I think I met my daughter tonight.”
or;
A work of fate or God or man or the universe crosses the paths of Buck and a small, green-eyed girl with a bird in her palm and the future in her snaggle-toothed grin. Two and a half years after the events of Lighthouse, the Diazes become the Diazes.

Summary
There's a safe haven drop at the firehouse that changes Bucks' life forever.
___
"Eddie nodded, opening the envelope, expecting a letter for the baby, health information, or simply a name to call the infant. What he found was none of those things. Eddie read the note as he ascended the stairs into the loft, pausing at the top, unsure of the correct course of action to come next. Ultimately, he decided that what came next couldn’t be his choice, and that the letter was addressed to only one person. “Buck?” Eddie called out, moving closer to the kitchen. He couldn’t find the words to continue, so when Buck looked up, Eddie just held out the letter."
___

Buck’s phone starts ringing in his pocket. He sighs and checks the caller ID, staring in confusion at the unfamiliar number.
“Uh, hello?”
“Hello there, is this Evan Buckley?” A woman’s voice is heard through the phone.
“May I ask who’s calling?”
“My name is Hope Williams, from Child Protective Services. I was wondering if you had a moment to schedule a meeting on behalf of Charlotte Davis?”
“I-I’m sorry, I think you must have called the wrong Evan Buckley. Who is Charlotte Davis?”

Summary
There were no hard and fast rules when it came to soulmarks, but there were a few generally accepted principles:
1. The marks are echoes of your soulmate’s first waking thoughts, usually in their native language.
2. The marks last anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the intensity of emotion.
3. They appear sporadically, not every first thought is focused enough to appear as a mark.
4. They appear on your body the moment your soulmate wakes, regardless of time zone.
5. It’s rude to examine or comment on someone else’s marks
6. Evan “Buck” Buckley doesn’t have a soulmate.
Okay, maybe that last one was known only to two people, Buck himself and his sister Maddie, and Maddie refused to agree with him on this matter. Buck maintained however, that 28 years was plenty long enough to wait for an echo of his own without finally l accepting that, clearly, he was one of those unlucky few who didn’t get a soulmate. Sure, not everyone found their person- their echo, but most people at least got marks that gave them hope that their soulmate was out there somewhere. Not Buck, though. No, Buck was obviously meant to be alone forever. Or at least between hookups.

Summary
"Eddie. Eddie, wait," Buck calls after his retreating form. He watches as Eddie's shoulders stiffen, the muscles of his back tightening before he turns around once more, jaw and fists clenched.
"I'm not going to tell you again—"
"What year is it?" Buck asks, swallowing harshly against the taste of his own panic. It's just a precaution. Most likely, there's a perfectly normal and logical explanation for this.
The question makes Eddie pause, expression shifting to one of bewilderment. "What?"
Buck exhales harshly, breaths ragged and forceful. "Last time I—uh, you didn't have a moustache the last time I saw you."
The silence is fucking loud. So is Eddie's face, because it's doing a weird hop-skip-jump between about seven conflicting emotions, screwing up and relaxing and squinting again.
He chuckles nervously. "What do you mean? Buck, I had a moustache yesterday. It hasn't grown in overnight, you've seen it before—"
"No, I haven't."
Or,
After the lightning strike, Buck finds himself cycling though a select portion of possible lives he might have lived. Coincidentally, they all seem to have one thing in common... -

Summary
“Hey,” Buck says, in the hospital room after it’s all over. “Just so you know, I’m in love with you.”
His voice is raspy, his smile a little self-deprecating. His eyes, when Eddie stares at him in surprise, are steady and blue. He doesn't sound like he’s blurting something out, or getting something off his chest, or confessing something he’s embarrassed of. He just sounds like he’s telling Eddie about the weather, something mundane. The sun is hot in the sky, they’re in New Mexico, and Buck is, apparently, in love with him.
Buck confesses to Eddie after the kidnapping. Eddie, in a fit of madness, accepts his confession. It'll be fine - just because Eddie isn't in love with Buck, doesn't mean he can't be his boyfriend.

Summary
Buck is a lot. Eddie knows Buck is a lot. Buck knows Buck is a lot.
But every single person who ever said that to Buck said it like a warning. Like a disclaimer, a heads-up, a you-should-know-what-you're-getting-into before getting too close so they can't say they weren't told.
And Eddie has never, not once, wanted Buck to be less.
The surplus, the overflow, the fourth tangent on a story that started somewhere else entirely — that's not the price of Buck. That is Buck. And more of Buck has only ever meant more to love, and Eddie spent enough years running on empty to know what it means when someone fills up every room they walk into so completely that Eddie is overflowing with it most days.
"Eddie. Are you listening?"
Eddie nods. "Gym Katie is alone at the gym and she's upset."
Buck blinks. His mouth is still open from the sentence he was about to say, his hands still mid-gesture, and he looks genuinely thrown, like he expected to catch Eddie zoning out and instead got caught himself. Caught being heard.
"You were listening," Buck says, a little breathlessly.
Eddie smiles. "I'm always listening."
Or,
Eddie finds beauty in the mundane. -

Summary
Buck has a secret.
He's the guy behind a wildly popular tiny cooking channel. A channel that he fuels through “borrowing” negligible amounts of ingredients from Eddie’s kitchen. He’s not proud of it, but what someone doesn't know won't hurt them, right?
Eddie has a problem.
He has a rat that’s been stealing ingredients from his kitchen. It’s smart and subtle in its takings, but he’s onto it and will catch it. Good thing he has a best friend, who he may or may not be in love with, to help.
An accidental identity reveal, a deeply committed “rat” bit, and a minor emergency later, two idiots who fall in love.
OR:
Buck has a miniature cooking channel no one knows about. Buck also has a bad habit of stealing ingredients from Eddie’s kitchen. Eddie thinks the missing ingredients are due to a rat, which he enlists Buck’s help to catch. Hijinks ensue.
