    Summary

    There was something…tense…as he continued reading. Freddie followed Tuck into the back of the ambulance, holding tight to his hand, tears streaming down his face telling Tuck “don’t ever do that again, okay?”

    That was when the atmosphere started to shift, and Eddie started to realize he wasn’t just reading a story about a house fire.

    It was almost…romantic?

    Or: After getting roped into watching the newest season of Hotshots with Christopher, Eddie falls down an internet rabbit hole about the show, where he discovers the wonderful world of archiveofourown.org.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.”

    Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go.

    There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted.

    “Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.”

    It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there.

    He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking.

    Buck never asks for anything.

    Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.”

    Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.

    Summary

    Buck isn’t a firefighter, he just plays one on TV, or at least that’s what he’s about to do. He’s offered the chance to shadow the 118 to learn what it’s like to be a firefighter. Eddie is fed up with these Hollywood types turning up and feigning interest in the job that he loves. Buck, however, is nothing like that and everyone can see the connection they have.

    Summary

    "Okay," Eddie says, shaking his head like he's throwing off the laughter. "Touch my ass."

    "What?"

    "The only way for us to face this is to jump in. So, touch my ass."

    Buck untangles his arms from around Eddie. "I think the mood's gone."

    "Oh, c'mon," Eddie whines. "I promise I won't laugh."

    "I don't want to do it anymore."

    That earns him a raised eyebrow. "You don't want to touch my ass?"

    "Eddie—"

    "Just touch my ass."

    "Stop saying ass."

    "Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass—"

    Side effects may include laughter during sex, moody teens, competitive streaks a mile wide, and the ability to (somewhat) effectively communicate.

    or...Finally together, Buck and Eddie navigate their developing relationship. Eddie’s laughter at the thought of sex and Chris’s passive aggressive mixed signals don’t help a spiraling Buck’s mourning of an imagined loss of friendship. Meanwhile, Eddie comes to terms with his identity and it means for him. Featuring too much information shared during wine nights, zoo trips with a gaggle of kids, and an exhausted Ravi.
