Summary
Eddie opened his mouth, but nothing smart came out. His tongue felt too big for his mouth. He shrugged instead, tucked his hands into his pants pockets. “You always this forward?”
Buck swung one leg over the porch rail and hopped down, landing with a soft thud. He was close now. Not touching, but close enough that Eddie caught the scent of beer on his breath.
“Only when it works,” Buck raised his beer to take a sip, eyes never leaving Eddie. “Is it working?”
Or; Eddie Diaz replaces Kenny Roper in the Everybody Wants Some!! universe. Evan "Buck" Buckley is part of the fraternity throwing the party Eddie's team is going to. Eddie gets a taste of Buck 1.0.

Summary
“Listen, Eddie,” Buck's voice is small, and his head is dipped in submission, eyes locked on Eddie through his lashes. It's maddening to watch. “About last night… I'm really–”
Eddie has closed the space between them before he even fully realises, and then Buck's face is in his hands and he's kissing the stupid apology right out of his mouth.
(aka - an 8x17 coda where seeing buck slot back into the diaz family Does Something™ to eddie)

Summary
“Chim just– told you to stay,” Buck says. “And you are. You’re staying. I don’t get it, Eddie. How could it have been so– easy?”
Something unreadable flickers across Eddie’s face, but it’s gone before Buck can identity it. “You never asked me to stay.”
A flare of bright hot anger sparks in Buck's chest. “I— I wanted you to choose something for yourself.”
“You could have asked.”

Summary
“I’m mortified, Eddie, I really thought Buck would have talked to you about it,” Maddie says. She looks genuinely regretful, her eyebrows pulling together with concern. “Obviously, he clarified things for me, told me that he wasn’t pining for his straight best friend, and I’m just…I’m so sorry. It wasn’t my place to speculate on your relationship like that.”
There must be a worm that’s wrapped itself around his thoughts — that’s constrained his neural pathways to just the thought of Buck’s in love with you — because something takes over Eddie’s mouth. Something entirely foreign and jarring prompts him to say with too much incredulity: “Buck said he wasn’t in love with me?”
Maddie gapes at him.
Eddie snaps his mouth shut with so much force his teeth click.
or: Maddie tells Eddie about the conversation she had with Buck. Eddie spirals about it.

Summary
“I don’t know how to talk about it,” Buck says, days later, in the quiet of the bedroom.
Eddie and Christopher have stuck around Los Angeles. Buck hasn’t asked, and Eddie hasn’t said anything, and Buck knows better than getting his hopes up. He hopes, regardless. Christopher has been sleeping on the couch, and without another bed or air mattress, Eddie has been sleeping in Buck’s bed. With Buck.
It’s been—fine. Kinda sucks, actually, because Buck’s been breaking into these huge, heaving sobs every night for the past three weeks, curling up in the center of his king-sized bed and letting his tears soak into the pillows. He isn’t able to do that with Eddie here, has swallowed down the tears and only let them out in the shower, tucking all the ugly pieces of his grief away. He’s been dealing with it, and trying not to bother others with it, but apparently he’s failed that, too.
Buck is tired of drowning under the weight of his own grief. Eddie is desperate to get him to talk about it.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
“It doesn’t have to be anything serious,” Buck quickly adds. He feels like a kid negotiating with their parents for an extra toy. He’s throwing out any idea that might land. “We can be like…friends with benefits.”
“Friends with benefits?” Eddie repeats. He places his hands on his hips, his biceps bulging with the motion, and Buck’s cock gives a valiant attempt at being noticed by twitching in his boxers.
Jesus. Buck might not survive this.
or: to stop Eddie from dating, Buck suggests becoming friends with benefits instead.

Summary
Eddie freezes at the doorway, tray in hand, the voices drifting from inside stopping him cold.
“Oh, your stepdad doesn’t live with you?” Mark asks, gesturing to a framed photo of Buck and Christopher.
There’s a beat of silence—too long, too loaded.Eddie’s heart stutters, thudding hard against his ribs as he waits, breath held. God's really decided to test him today.
Then Christopher answers, casually, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “No… he lives in L.A.”
or Eddie overhears a conversation between Christopher and his friend, then proceeds to spiral about being in love with Buck while also being insanely jealous of 118's new recruit

Summary
“So,” Eddie said, voice light, “what’s good today?”
Buck didn’t even look. He reached beneath the counter, grabbed a small white bag and the to-go cup of juice he had ready before sliding it across to Eddie. “You want the apple turnover. Some orange juice too.”
Eddie blinked. “How’d you—”
“You always glance at both of them but never pick them. Thought I’d make the call for you today. Start your day off with some joy.”
His eyes lingered on Buck. “Always do.”
Or Buck owns a bakery, Eddie gets a little sweet treat every day, and they learn what joy is.

Summary
This man, Buck apparently, is huge, arms as big around as Eddie’s thighs and shoulders so broad that they are inches from touching the edges of the door-frame he stands in. Eddie deliriously thinks he might take after the Dachshund down the hall and start barking himself if left to stare at him for much longer when he feels a sharp elbow to his side.
“Buck, this is Dr. Diaz,” May says brightly, the sly cut to her eyes letting him know he has not been subtle in his gawking. “Dr. Diaz, this is Buck. He works with my stepdad at the fire station. And this—” she steps around the desk to scoop the puppy out of the man’s arms, clearly familiar with him in a way Eddie is not jealous of, "is LT! My step-nephew.”

Veterinarian Eddie Diaz meets a man who turns his life upside down with his smile, his heart, and his adorable Golden Retriever puppy.

Summary
“Hey Hen,” Eddie chuckled, pulling her into a hug, as much as all the extra gear would allow.
“Does Buck know?”
“Not yet. Was supposed to be a surprise.”
Hen gave him the side eye.
“A surprise at a disaster?” She was not buying it.
“Well this wasn’t part of the plan, Hen.” Which was the truth, but he was a firefighter at heart. He couldn’t not help with something like this happening. Helping was engraved into him, it was normal to him. Could it be that he knew Buck was there as well and couldn’t not go knowing the love of his life was out saving the world and wasn’t there. That could have something to do with it, but he wouldn’t admit that to anyone but maybe Buck.

Summary
Eddie loved his son. He loved his son so, so much. He would never stop fighting for his son. It didn’t matter if his helicopter was getting shot down in a desert halfway across the world, or if he was nearly drowning while trapped under thirty feet of mud, or if he was crawling on hands and knees back to El Paso in contrition, he was going to do whatever it took to be with Christopher.
But he had also just kissed Buck for the first time ninety minutes ago, and he was supposed to have 1,440 more minutes of kissing before they had to go back to the real world. Eddie had waited seven years for this, he wanted twenty-four hours of uninterrupted necking with the love of his life, god dammit.

Summary
He wonders if Buck ever thinks about it.
The sheets sticking to his damp skin, their sounds of pleasure echoing around the room, Buck telling him all the things he’s thought about doing to Eddie before. How Eddie would let him without question, knowing Buck would still take care of him even when given all the power in the world.
What this means for himself is something that’s hard to bear thinking about.
Or, Eddie comes to terms with what he deserves.
