    Summary

    Maddie’s back, and Buck is thrilled.
    On top of that, Buck’s pretty sure he’s met the love of his life, too.

    Eddie Diaz.

    They meet in the most romcom way, too.

    He runs into Eddie Diaz for the first time at the coffee shop down the street from his new apartment building

    Their second meeting is at the same coffee shop, at around the same time of day, a week later.

    Twice is a coincidence, thrice is a sign– and what’s the saying about eight times? Is there even one?

    Or: The Universe™ keeps setting up meet-cutes for Buck with actor Eddie Diaz, and when he gets the chance to get his number, he fumbles it and forgets to ask.
    Thankfully, The Universe™ has his back and sets him up again

    Summary

    Buck loves pranks. Always has, always will.

    The one thing he likes even more is pulling them off with other people’s help.

    Especially if that person is Chris.
    Especially if the person being pranked is Eddie.

    Think Hildy, and multiply that by 10.

    It all started with a Tiktok, a trip to Maddie’s, and the ambition of a man already in over his head.

    Or: After seeing a trend on TikTok, Buck and Christopher convince Eddie that Buck's purchased a rock for $250. It escalates

    Summary

    Ten hours later, trapped in a pile of rubble, surrounded by people - some injured and some dead - Buck whispers Eddie’s name again. This time, it’s a scared and pained sound. This time, there’s no response. There’s no warm body of his husband pressed into him. There’s no brown eyes looking at him with so much adoration. This time, there’s no Eddie.

    or,

    presumed dead eddie.

    Summary

    buck runs a late-night podcast that’s a little chaotic and way more honest than he ever means it to be. people call in anonymously, talk about the things they don’t say out loud, and somehow leave feeling a little less alone.

    eddie is just a voice on the line at first. steady, quiet, familiar in a way buck can’t explain. he calls when it matters. he listens when it hurts.

    this is a story about laughter in the dark, about staying on the line, and about falling in love before you even know who you’re talking to.

    Summary

    Buck thought the lawsuit was the worst thing that could happen to him.
    He was wrong.
    Being forgotten hurt worse.
    Being invisible broke him deeper.
    And falling apart quietly became its own kind of death.

    When he collapses alone, the 118 realizes how far they let him slip.
    And when Eddie Diaz walks back into Buck’s life, determined to hold him together piece by piece, Buck begins the hardest journey of all—
    learning to stay alive, learning to be loved, and learning he’s never been alone.
