Summary
It’s not ideal, being dead. He can’t bake, he can’t take a shower, he can’t go to work. And he can’t tell Eddie he loves him.
It occurred to him in the too-fast flash of a second it took to fall 48 feet into the fiery subfloor full of rubble, glass, and rebar.
Oh, Eddie.
Not ideal at all.
or: Buck is haunting Eddie's house. That's not the end of the story.

Summary
“Seriously, can you just leave and wait for me on the ground? This is a waste of your time.”
“It’s not going to be a waste of my time once you stop being ridiculous about this and just fly down!” Eddie snaps, grabbing for Buck’s gear again.
Buck knocks his hands away once more, crossing his arms even tighter across his chest. “Eddie, I can’t!”
“Dios, Buck! Earlier, you didn’t want to, didn’t think you could, and now you can’t? You can’t? Well, that isn’t going to work. I’m not fucking leaving you here, so unless you want someone to have to tell Chris how we both burned to death because you were too stubborn to try flying, I need you to work with me.”

Summary
They were trapped.
Fire hadn’t broken through yet, but it was coming. Buck could feel the heat pushing in, wrapping around them like a warning. The smoke thickened, clawing at their throats, painting the walls with a haze of panic.
“So…” Eddie’s voice cut through the haze, rough around the edges but maddeningly calm. “You wanna talk about it now?”
Buck turned slowly, disbelief etched across every exhausted line of his face, and he hoped his deadpan glare said it all. He didn’t need to ask what Eddie was referring to.
No, he didn’t want to talk about how he accidentally told his best friend he loved him just hours earlier.
He’d rather let the fire take him.
A season 9 two-part opening emergency, in which a group of hijackers takeover Station 118.

Summary
The kid with blood pouring down his shins is not so far from the dog lonely enough that he thinks breaking his housetraining is worth it for the ten minutes of berating that come with it, the ten minutes of undivided, if reluctant, attention.
Buck thinks, sometimes, that at least he wasn’t the kind of puppy that gets put in a sack and drowned at birth. He wasn’t always unwanted. And he isn’t anymore.

Summary
“Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.
“Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”

When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.

Summary
"You look exactly the same," Eddie says with tears in his eyes. "How is that even possible?"
"I don't know," Buck says, his thumb swiping across Eddie's knuckles. "I don't understand it."
He may be the same, but looking at Eddie, Buck can see the years on him. His hair is a bit different, the creases by the corners of his eyes just a bit deeper. There's a new scar on his right hand that Buck hasn't seen before.He'd know these hands blind, but it takes him a moment to notice it still. His fingers brush over it once, and then again before he actually looks down and sees the thin golden band wrapped around Eddie's ring finger. Then he just—stares at it, stupidly, for a second. Before Eddie pulls his hands back, and leaves Buck's hanging empty in the space between them.
"You're married," he says.

Multiple bricks were thrown at me while reading this. It hurts

Summary
In a moment of weakness, distracted by the look in Eddie’s eyes Buck stuttered “I love you.”
He wasn’t proud of it. Buck promised he wouldn’t make things harder for Eddie. He knew that there was nothing he could say that would make him stay, he wouldn’t want that either anyway. As much as Buck wants to be selfish and ask Eddie to stay with him, he never could, he’d never do that to Eddie and Chris.
But he does love Eddie. Buck loves Eddie so much that he’d let him leave because that’s what you're supposed to do when you love somebody. You let them leave when they have to, even if it kills you.
Eddie’s lips curled at Buck’s words. If Buck wasn’t mistaken, he could see Eddie’s eyes well up as well. “You too,” he whispered.
He patted his hand on Buck’s shoulder for the last time before removing it, forever. Buck felt a sense of loneliness creeping over him at the loss of Eddie’s final touch. Eddie looked up at him one last time, matching tears in both of their eyes before stepping back—stepping away forevermore.
OR: When Eddie moves to El Paso, he stops answering Buck’s calls. It causes Buck to lose his mind just a bit.

Summary
“My mom died,” Buck says flatly, like reciting a fact he read somewhere. He adds a small shrug, as if that explains it. It doesn’t feel real. The words sit in the air, weightless and strange.
Eddie frowns. Bobby shifts closer.
“Are you okay?” Bobby asks gently.
Buck blinks at him, then gives a quick nod, too fast to be convincing. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is thin, brittle. “Did you want me to start lunch? I was thinking maybe that cheesy broccoli bake.”
Eddie’s brows knit together. “Buck…” he says carefully, voice low and steady.
“Or chili,” Buck continues, his hands smoothing out a crease in his jacket like that’s the thing that matters. “I think we’ve got enough ground beef.”
“Buck,” Eddie says again, firmer this time.
Buck’s hands still. He finally looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.
Oh.
His mom died.

Summary
It’s at this moment that Eddie feels a sudden urge to move. He’s not sure whether he wants to jump back into the water and go hide in the darkness of the Pacific Ocean, or if he wants to crawl over Buck’s body and hold him so close they both might break into pieces.
He hesitates briefly before scooching himself near Buck. He doesn’t hover over his body, but rather sits near his head. With shaky hands, he turns his face to him and holds him between the palms of his hands. He touches him like he’s fragile, like he might break. Eddie touches him the same way he would if he wanted to admire him in his sleep and not wake him up.Eddie can admire all he wants, but Buck’s not waking up.

Summary
“I told him you could help.” Christopher says with such confidence that Eddie’s heart jumps into his throat. Because to Eddie, this isn’t a fight he can win. “Please help him.”
“Christopher.” Eddie whispers and looks back down at the likely dying wild animal his son brought home.
“Please?” Christopher’s eyes are wide and wet and looking at him with such hope.
What can Eddie do? Say no? Of course not. “I’ll try, but Mijo, it looks pretty hurt.”
“You can save him.” Christopher insists. “I know you can.”
