Summary
For wishbabies, there’s a difference between want and love. Buck knows being wanted. He doesn’t know being loved. Maybe, between the two of them, they can reach a middle ground. Buck can love her, and Eddie can want her, and that will be enough.
Buck and Eddie end up with a wishbaby. It strikes a nerve, but Buck’s always been good at pretending.

Summary
It’s tucked into the back corner, like it doesn’t want to be found. A dollhouse. Big. Wide. Victorian-style. The front is swung open like a book, revealing nine narrow rooms in various stages of disrepair.
Buck crouches, slow and careful, his fingers brushing the floorboards. The wood is smooth, worn in a way that doesn’t make sense. Like they have been walked on over and over again by feet too small to leave a mark.
He’s still looking when a voice breaks in behind him.
“She comes with a box of blanks.”
-
Or: It was just supposed to be a gift for Jee’s birthday. But then the dollhouse came to life, and one small, fragile version of Eddie chose him, in all the ways the real one never did. (This is part of a collection of standalone stories where the houses are never just houses.)

Summary
He turns around. Eddie is watching him, his eyes glittering, an odd set to his jaw.
"Unless you do want me to walk you through it," Buck says, and there's something in it, some dangerous impulse he can't define that makes it come out not at all like the joke he meant it to be. Standing here in the entryway of the house that's Eddie's house again, in the spot where he dragged Tommy through the door, clumsily attached at the mouth, kicking it carelessly shut behind him. Keys rattling, and the simple animal comfort of someone's eager hands on him. The empty house, barely unpacked, briefly less empty.

Summary
He knew, somehow, that it’s been Eddie this entire time. Buck would only trust one person to touch him like that, and it’s Eddie. His body is frozen, but he wouldn’t move anyway. Eddie holds the scalpel, the blade hovering over Buck’s skin, and he pauses. The knife stills, waiting, as he asks, “Are you ready?”
Buck prefers when he had normal nightmares, about being trapped under a truck or drowning or losing the people he loved, rather than undergoing surgery in his dreams.

Summary
"Look who's talking. Come on, it's just me," Buck says, like that's an argument or something, and it must work, because when he leans across to push play, Eddie doesn't stop him.
Or: Buck walks in on Eddie watching porn. It escalates from there.

Summary
“Buck, I told you, there’s no rush. You being here for however long you need is not a problem.”
Buck rubs at his brow to do something with his hands, Eddie’s eyes tracking his every move like a hawk. “I know that, Eddie. I heard you.”
“Did you?” Eddie asks. “Hear me?”
Eddie comes back home. Buck runs away.

Summary
"Are you doing anything today?" Chris suddenly asks. It takes Eddie a second to process that he's being talked to, frowning at the bike and considering whether it's worth it to take it off the wall to actually clean it well today.
Eddie shrugs. "I don't know, Chris. You planning something?"
"No," Chris says. He stays quiet after that.
Buck stops talking to Eddie after he moves out.

Summary
Eddie's wife has been dead for two weeks. There's a firefighter in bed five. These are not necessarily related facts, but Eddie will have a hard time separating them out, later.

A story, in many ways, about holding hands

Summary
The sun is shining down, blacktop blurring in the heat of midday, a slight breeze is picking up soot and ash and whirling it through the air, and Eddie's lips taste like blood. Of course they do. He's dead, after all.
Buck counts seconds.

Summary
Silence stretches between them like a cord about to snap. They don’t speak, and anyone watching would just see them, Buck-and-Eddie, looking out at the cityscape at night, at the stars, up at that helicopter circling downtown.

Summary
In his entire time being a firefighter, Eddie has never met anyone as accident-prone as Evan Buckley. And Buck - well, he's quickly becoming the 118's best customer.
(Or - the one where Eddie is a firefighter, Buck isn't, and Eddie finds himself rescuing Buck from increasingly sticky situations. Sometimes literally.)

the devil's in the details, but you've got a friend in me by buckasagirl

Summary
Now that he has one, Buck has realized that he’s never had a best friend before. Not until Eddie. Naturally, he gets a little weird about the whole thing. But who can blame him really? He’s never done this before.
Buck (Work): come over
Eddie Diaz: Can’t, I’m busy.
Buck (Work): do you hate me
Eddie Diaz: No
Buck (Work): why do you hate me
Buck (Work): why do youh ate me
Eddie Diaz: I don’t hate you
Buck (Work): whatever
Eddie Diaz: I’ll come over after.
Buck (Work): yay :)
Or, for years, Buck has jokingly texted Eddie like a crazy possessive girlfriend and he's never actually meant it, so why does it feel so real when Eddie starts to spend time with Tommy?

Summary
She’s got that pitying expression that always puts Eddie’s hackles up, the widows-and-orphans face, and she’s looking at Buck and Chris as Chris whoops his way down the slide and Buck watches carefully as he catches himself at the bottom. “He must miss his sister very much,” she says. “They look so much alike.”
In which someone makes a totally logical, if heteronormative, assumption and Eddie loses his damn mind about it.

Summary
There's a box balancing on top of a pile in the living room, half-closed. SAFE, it says on the side. Buck can still hear Eddie rummage in the bedroom, so he steps closer until he can peer in. A hard drive; Eddie's passport; a box with a ring inside, gold band. And then a stack of paper, clipped together at the top with a seal on the cover.

Summary
“I’m gonna text you,” Buck says. There’s a bright, forceful cheer in his voice. It hangs in the air between them. “As soon as I’m landed, I’m going to be planning the next trip. Bobby’s always on my ass about not using my PTO. Now that I know you’re not living in an active hazard waste zone, you’re not going to be able to get rid of—”
Eddie kisses him.
--
Buck visits Eddie in Texas.

Summary
Buck dies, and he’s cold right away. They all are, this isn’t the kind of summer storm where the rain is almost warm. It’s freezing out here, even under all the layers of their gear. Bobby’s sure his own skin is corpse-cool, but he holds Buck and the harness pulls him stiff in his arms, and his body is cold, and he thinks Wait. It’s happening too fast. Wait. He’s dead, and Bobby lays him carefully on the gurney, and he rides up front with Eddie as they tear through the streets towards the hospital, frantic noise and movement reaching them from the back. He’s dead when they pull up to the doors. The human body begins to decay after four minutes, starts to consume itself, the final hunger. Bobby hears the crack of his sternum when Eddie’s palms press so far into his chest his heart starts to beat again. 43 seconds to spare.

Moving to Texas was never actually the plan; or at least, it was never actually Chris's plan.
(Or, season 8 from Chris's perspective)

Summary
Eddie’s never had someone like Buck before. He’s never felt like this around anyone else, too, like his body knows he’s safe before his mind does. There are the things that are muscle memory: shoulder bumps and taps on the arm, the way Eddie keeps looking over his shoulder and being surprised that Buck is right there. Buck fills up all the empty spaces in Eddie’s life, if not his memories.
Eddie wakes up in Texas, missing eight years of his memory. He doesn't think anything is different until his best friend from Los Angeles shows up.
