Summary
Afterwards, Buck would not have been able to recall what he was doing, sat on the couch in the living room, before Eddie came into the room, fresh from the shower, wearing nothing but a towel and still a little damp.
'Hey, Buck,' he says, running a hand through his hair, water dripping from the ends on to his chest, 'could you do me a favor?'
'Sure,' says Buck, barely managing not to choke on his own tongue as he takes all of Eddie in.
'You know I had my annual physical the other day? The doctor gave me these pamphlets, shit we've got to look out for as firefighters—.'
Before Buck can spiral too far Eddie waves him back into his seat with a casual gesture, taking a step further into the room, 'I'm fine, but he said I should be keeping an eye on my moles.'
He turns out a leg, way too much of his muscular thigh peeking out from under his towel for Buck's sanity, and twists at the waist to look over his shoulder, 'but I can't really see the ones on my back. Can you check them for me?'

Summary
'Buck,' Eddie says again, closer now and Buck turns around at last, 'why are you here?'
'I wanted to be here for May,' he says, 'I'm not here to cause trouble.'
'Bit late for that. I haven't seen you in five years, Buck. You ignored me for five years.'
Buck doesn't answer, just fixes Eddie with an inscrutable look.
'So you’re gay now?' he says, flatly.
Eddie shrugs, 'sure.'
'What does that mean?'
'Gay, bi, queer. It doesn’t matter.'
'If you fuck dudes now it matters,' spits Buck.
'Why?’ Eddie throws back, ‘because I never fucked you?'

After Bobby died Buck left LA without a word. Five years later Eddie bumps into him at May and Ravi’s wedding. Is it too late for them to find their way back to each other? Do they want closure or something more?

best friends, kidneys, and other things you can survive losing by kermytheefrog (tardigradeschool)

Summary
"We were also concerned about possible organ damage, particularly since you only have one kidney, but your ribs took the brunt of the impact," the doctor tells him. "We'll know more when the swelling from the penetrating wound goes down."
Ha, Buck thinks. Penetrating.
"Wait," Eddie says. "That's not right. Buck has both his kidneys."
The doctor consults the chart again, her eyebrows drawing together. “I’m sorry, Mr Buckley, is there an error in your medical history? I have it right here that you only have your right kidney, is that correct?"
"Ye-es," Buck says. He can feel Eddie’s gaze on the side of his face and studiously avoids it.
"What?" Eddie says. "How did I not know this? When did you lose a kidney, was this when you were a kid?"
"Uh..." Buck says. "Aha. Last year."
Eddie's face shifts from perplexed to horrified to thunderous all within about two seconds. It would be funny to see his stoicism so rattled under different circumstances. "When I was in Texas?"
.
Buck is determined not to fall back on old coping mechanisms after Eddie leaves for Texas. So he invents a new one: organ donation.Bookmarked by bizzy_lizzy

Summary
He, Eddie Diaz, is not getting out of this alive.
One thing categorized and sorted.
Buck is the category Eddie has no idea what to do with and his brain stalls.
He doesn’t want to lie to Buck, especially if it’s the last time he’s ever going to talk to him. But he cannot have Buck come down here. There isn’t time for it and there’s not a thing Buck can do for Eddie. That was category one. Eddie is already dead. He cannot drag Buck down with him.
So Eddie has to make a choice. Lie to Buck and ensure he makes it to safety, or take the opportunity to say some final words to his best friend. He knows the choice he wants to make, but he also knows the choice he has to make. Because he knows Buck to his core.
or the fic where the universe decides to scream at Eddie Diaz by trapping him in a time loop where he is forced to watch his best friend die every day with no power to stop it.
