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
"You need us. We're part of your plan. That's why you're here."
About a week after the battle with Gaea, the demigods are shocked to learn that Artemis from almost a year in the future has turned up. She informs them that she has a plan, one that may just reduce the amount of tragedy that has transpired over the last five years. All they need to do is go back in time and relive everything. Simple, right?Yes, this is a Reading the Books fanfic. Yes, this is an overused trope. That being said, I really hope that I can finish this. I will be leaning into a lot of discussion about mental health in this, so keep that in mind.
**May contain minor spoilers for TOA**
This fic currently has NO set update schedule. I will update when I can, and with however many chapters I can.- Language:

Summary
After a while, he whispers it, barely louder than the rustle of his sheets.
A wish, a prayer, maybe it’s a plea.
“I want to know everything.”
It spills out of him in the stillness that follows, not loud, not dramatic, just the quiet truth of it.
“I wish you’d let me know you. I wish you trusted me with the parts you never show. The fears you don’t name. The secrets you keep buried so deep even you don’t look at them for long.
I wish I’d known you before life made you flinch. Before war and heartbreak, before your smile got quieter. I wish I’d seen the kid you were, so I could understand how you became the man I’m—
Buck pauses, the words catching in his throat.
—the man I’ve fallen in love with, without a shred of logic or timing or self-preservation.
I wish you’d let me know you.”
Or; Buck makes a wish and it comes true. So he spends the following twenty four hours with Eddie aging up three years every time he falls asleep.

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
“Hi, this is Firefighter Buckley with the 118. Isabel and Josephina got a clean bill of health, sir. You don’t have anything to worry about, I’ll be here with them if they have any questions for us,” Buck reassures, and, surprisingly, he’s met with absolute silence on the other end.
He waits a few seconds, then lowers the phone to check if the call dropped. It still says ‘Edmundo’ on the screen, and Buck catches a glance at the contact picture of said Edmundo on Isabel’s phone, and gapes for a moment. The guy’s real young, holding a newborn baby in his arms, baseball cap pulled down over most of his face but a dazzling smile, clear as day, peaks out.
“Right. Uh, thank you, Firefighter Buckley.” And wow, oh. It’s a nice voice too, velvet and rich sounding. A little gravelly, but in a very pleasant way. Buck likes it. But not in any way that means something. Objectively, it’s a nice sounding voice. Right.
***
Or, the five times Abuela and Pepa try to matchmake probationary firefighter Buck with freshly single dad Eddie moving to Los Angeles, and the one time they don't need to do anything at all.

Summary
He didn’t even realise he was staring until Maddie’s voice broke through the haze in his head.
“His name’s Eddie Diaz,” she said with a teasing tone, though there was something more in her voice – something that hinted at the recognition that had just passed between them.
Buck blinked a few times. Eddie Diaz. It was like something inside him clicked into place – this was the model he had been searching for. Not just physically – though Eddie was undeniably attractive, something he wanted his hands on – but in the energy he gave off. The quiet confidence. The realness.
He barely registered Maddie’s amused grin as he said, his voice almost to himself, “Him. I want him.”
---
In which Buck is a photographer looking for his muse and Eddie is the model that falls right into his lap.

Summary
“If I had,” Chris lingers on the words, watching Eddie intently through the screen, “If I had conditions?”
Eddie feels his stomach knot up. It’s the first time Chris has ever alluded to a willingness to come home. Usually he just shoots Eddie down with a flat “I know” before hurrying off the call. Eddie Diaz will be damned before he lets this chance slip through his hands.
“Anything,” his voice rings with desperation in his own ears, “Whatever you need to feel ready to come home. If I can make it happen, I will.”
Chris eyes him, young face serious as a judge presiding over trial. An apt comparison because only Chris could condemn or parole Eddie. His fate is in his son’s hands so completely that if he was going to therapy, Frank would probably be concerned. Finally, Chris opens his mouth and says something so earth shattering as to crack the foundations of his father’s mind.
“Marry Buck,” Chris says firmly.

Summary
Navigating the aftermath of Shannon’s death, Eddie never thought he’d be a widower by age thirty-two and raising a kid on his own without any help. When Christopher calls into one of those late-night talk radio shows asking how to help his Dad, Eddie realizes that he needs to try and move on for Christopher’s sake, so he reluctantly starts dating what everyone tells him is the perfect woman for someone like him.
It turns out Christopher, and he have much different ideas of just who they need.
Buck has had a terrible year. His physical injuries from the truck bombing were bad enough but having Ali leave him seems like a sign from the universe that he’s always meant to be alone. Listening to the radio at night, he hears the most adorable kid ever talking about how his Dad is sad and needs a new partner—LA kids are pretty progressive, and this Christopher kid isn’t particular if his Dad ends up with a woman or a man. It almost gives him hope, but who would want to date a firefighter who can’t help anyone?
A chance encounter on a pier, a tsunami, and a promise to meet up at the Griffith Park Observatory on Valentine’s Day brings together two soulmates who, in another life, would have met very differently.Series

Summary
It’s a terrible idea. It’s arguably the worst idea he’s ever had. Worse than when Buck thought abstaining for a month means his sperm would be superpowered– but at least it’s below giving yourself bangs before barging into someone’s house and pretending to be the guy’s dead wife.
No, Eddie is gonna be the angriest, bitchiest, living husband who just got cheated on with instagram user Rafael102017, who happens to be very big on monogamy and fidelity.
Or, Chris has a bold admirer, Buck has a date with a strange man, and Eddie is apparently the extraction team for both of them out of these situations.
Or, if Eddie had a nickel for every awkward romantic encounter his boys had today, he'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Summary
“So…” She started with a mischievous grin on her face, “Relationship?”
He looked at her puzzled for a minute before it dawned on him and his face burned, hot and red, blood rushing to his cheeks. “W-what? No. We’re just friends, Maddie.”
“Okayyy,” She dragged out, clearly not believing him, sending him a look that was equal parts amused and knowing.
“Don’t do that.”
“I’m not doing anything,” She defended, smile still pulling at the corners of her lips.
OR
What I've been affectionately referring to as The Eddie and Maddie Fic (because these two not being best friends in canon is a tragedy).

Summary
“It’ll go fine.” Howie advised. “I don’t like the idea of you being there alone,” he joked with a small little smile. “But it’ll be okay.”
“I’m not alone.” Maddie teased with a matching smile of her own.
“You’re right.” Howie conceded. “You have our scary baby girl to hold everyone off.”
Maddie snorted. “I meant -.”
“I know what you meant.” Howie sobered. “I like the idea of him being there even less.”
Maddie’s stomach jolted. “Do you think I made a mistake?” She asked cautiously. “Should I have told him not to come?”
Howie waved a hand to the side. “Nah,” he shrugged. “We both know Buck’s going to Buck.”

Summary
Chris shifted uncomfortably, his gaze darting away again. “Because I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be with Dad right now either. And I didn’t say anything before because you were with Tommy, and I didn’t want to mess things up for you.”
Buck’s chest tightened, guilt creeping in like a shadow. “Chris, you would never mess things up for me. Never. You’re family. You always have a place here. And you’ll always come first.”
Chris’s shoulders sagged with relief, but his voice was still small. “So I can live with you?”
Or
Buck, struggling with abandonment and feelings of being unworthy, is shaken when Chris calls, asking if he can live with Buck now that he’s no longer with Tommy.
Still hurt and angry with Eddie, Chris refuses to tell his dad about wanting to live with Buck, leaving Buck caught in the middle, torn between protecting Chris and his loyalty to Eddie. Yet as Buck promises to help, he feels something shift—beneath all the self-doubt and pain, a quiet hope emerges. For the first time in what feels like forever, someone chose him, and maybe, just maybe, he’s not as unworthy of love as he’s always believed.
