Summary
Christopher peered at him, his eyes bigger through his lenses. “Why?”
Buck nearly choked. “Why? Why… what? I mean, I’m bisexual, if that’s what you’re—”
“Oh, no.” Christopher shook his head, “I just meant, if you’re dating men, why aren’t you dating Dad?” Which simply did not help Buck’s choking problem.
Buck really, truly had never pictured Eddie’s son asking him these questions, specifically why he wasn’t dating Eddie.
“Uh— your Dad isn’t— we’re not—”
“Oh.” A pause.
“I don’t want you to date Dad.”

Summary
Buck wouldn’t be making that face at Tommy, because Buck was straight. Buck was straight and Tommy was straight. Buck had been jealous of Tommy’s friendship with Eddie five minutes ago, there was no way he’d be making that face unless—
Tommy’s hand darted forward, fingertips landing in Buck’s palm, which was upturned on the table, drawing a teasing pattern against his skin. Tommy was giving Buck a look too. Slightly narrowed, intense eyes. Smirk pulling his lips up.
He was looking at Buck like a predator stalking its prey. Buck was blinking up at him through his lashes like he was happy to be hunted.
Somehow, he had convinced himself that it was him and his friendship that Buck was jealous over. That Buck was scared of losing him, and acting a little crazy about it.
He was used to Buck being a little crazy about things— so what?
It had never even crossed Eddie’s mind that he might be the obstacle Buck was trying to get rid of.
OR -
What if the still of Eddie watching Buck and Tommy's first date had actually made it to air? What if Eddie had witnessed their first date?

Summary
“Oh my god, stop it.” Eddie answered, but he was laughing, and so was Buck, and Eddie mimed throwing his magazine at Buck.
Buck huffed at him, rolling his eyes. “But you won’t abandon me if I get cursed? Even if I look like that corpse?”
Eddie scoffed, “Buck. Don’t be silly. You being pretty is, believe it or not, incidental to our friendship.”
OR -
A oneshot written in its entirety at 3am based on the 5x8 snippet of Buck and Tommy in hospital.
Buck thinks he's cursed, Eddie can't stop looking at his chest.

Summary
“Stay with me,” Buck blurts out the second Eddie’s eyes meet his. “We’ll pick up Chris after my shift ends in a couple hours, and you guys can—you can stay with me. Don’t get a hotel.”
“Buck,” Eddie says, a searching look in his eyes. “You don’t have to do that. This is—this isn’t your mess to deal with, I can figure it out.”
“I know I don’t have to,” Buck argues. “I want to.”
or; Eddie and Chris move in with Buck after a fire. Buck breaks up with his boyfriend, buys a house with Eddie, and realizes he's in love. In precisely that order.

Summary
So he curls his fingers around the wood of his clipboard and clears his throat. “You have really nice hands, you know,” is what he goes with.
Eddie jerks back just a bit, dropping the halligan into the compartment with a thud as he turns shocked eyes back to Buck. “What?”
“Yeah,” god, what does he even say, “they’re uh, strong. And capable. You know, like…they can do a lot of things.”
Okay, so, maybe this whole plan needs a little bit of work.

Summary
“But then, Ravi, he said the most insane shit to me the next morning,” Buck says, his scowl becoming more pronounced. “Like it actually really pissed me off.”
And — despite himself — Ravi’s intrigued. It’s not his fault, he just likes gossip. “What did he say?” Ravi asks, finally looking away from the hose.
Buck blinks at him for a moment and the nail picking intensifies. Ravi has a bad feeling about this.
“He thinks Eddie was his competition,” Buck finally says. “Like I’m in love with Eddie, or something. Isn’t that crazy?”
Oh. Oh, this is really bad actually.
Or: Ravi has to deal with Buck spiralling about being in love with Eddie. He’s mainly just worried if he’s going to survive his next shift.

Summary
“It could be worse,” Buck says.
Eddie is pacing the length of the hotel room. Buck’s hotel room. The one that they shared last night, because they got married. Drunk married. In Vegas. By fucking Elvis. Jesus fucking Christ. If Eddie wasn’t so hungover he’d worry that the splitting in his head was a brain aneurysm.
“How, Buck? How could it possibly be worse?”
“We could have married strangers?”

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -

Summary
The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.
Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)
And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)
It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
--
Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.
It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.Series

Everything inside Eddie goes still. If his heart is a kite, then this is the moment it plummets back to earth.
or, Buck tells Eddie some news. Eddie has a realization and breaks up with his girlfriend. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“I’ll do it,” Eddie repeats, looking at Buck in one of those silent conversation ways again, but Buck actually can’t figure out what he’s trying to say this time. It messes with his brain, until Eddie speaks again, “I’ll pretend to only be a little offended none of you have thought to ask me before, but Buck, I’ve fixed a lot of cars. I can look at yours.”
(or, the check engine light comes on in Buck's Jeep, Eddie volunteers to fix it and carpool with him in the meantime, and it all breaks down from there, literally and metaphorically)

Summary
Christopher’s school project—interviewing friends and family about a significant event—seems innocent enough. But when he chooses the moment his dad met Buck as his topic, it becomes clear: this isn’t just homework, it’s the perfect opportunity for matchmaking.
And if he pulled it off? Well, that would be the most significant event of all.

Eddie had kissed him.
He knows it happened, because the smudge of chocolate on his pants is still there, courtesy of the peanut butter cup he’d dropped when Eddie lent over and kissed him.

“What are you doing here?”
Buck stilled and hid in the hallway, pressing up against the wall so neither could spot him eavesdropping.
“Excuse me?” Tommy replied.
Buck heard Eddie chuckle to himself bitterly. “What are you doing here, Tommy?”
“I was looking after Evan,” Tommy said, his tone screaming ‘isn’t it obvious?’ to Eddie.
A quiet laugh echoed in the silent house, and Buck shivered when he realised it was Eddie. Laughing very, very coldly.
That’s when the bullets started to fly out of Eddie.
Or; Eddie shows up on Buck's doorstep after finding out about Bobby's death. When Tommy seems too close for comfort, Eddie decides to tell him what he really thinks of him. Buck hears the entire thing.

“Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”
Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.
“That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him.

Summary
There's a beat of silence. A smile blossoms on Buck's face. It starts with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, then spreads inwards. He purses his lips, almost like he's trying to contain it, then gives up and lets it bloom into a brilliant smirk, crooked and devastating on his warm lips. He cracks open one eye, the left one. The smirk creases his birthmark. It's the same shade of pink as his lips, the same color as the lightning scar.
"Oh yeah?"
Eddie clears his throat and frees his own sandwich from its plastic prison. "Eat so you don't collapse. Save us both the trouble."
He can still feel Buck's eyes on him. "I don't break that easily."
Or:
Chris is 800 miles away, and Eddie's house feels emptier than ever. As always, Buck is right there, ready to have his back, to catch him without hesitation if he falls. This is familiar, this is normal, this is the way they've always been.
This is fine, until it isn't.
Until Eddie finds himself drawn to Buck in ways he never expected—ways that might not be so new at all.- Language:

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?)

How did Kiyoomi forget about the 6 inches of snow covering the road outside? Even if by the grace of God his car could plow through that mess, there is no telling how bad it is the further they go. Fuck his life.
