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
*Buck’s heart stopped, when he stared at the screen. The remote slipped from his hand, clattering onto the coffee table, the noise ringing in his ears. The room tilted, the air sucked out of it, his pulse roaring in his ears. “That’s…” His voice came out as a whisper, barely audible, his eyes locked on the screen where grainy footage showed a smoking wreck, flames licking at a crumpled plane, emergency lights flashing in the distance. “That’s his flight…”
“Details are still coming in, but early reports indicate the Boeing 737, carrying 115 passengers and crew, experienced a catastrophic failure during its final approach. It’s not yet clear what caused it yet, more to come on that later- Emergency crews are on the scene, but there’s no word yet on survivors.”
Chimney sat up, his beer forgotten, his face paling. “Who’s flight?” He murmured but he already knew what the answer was going to be.
“Eddie’s.” Buck hissed, drawing in a sharp breath that felt like glass. “That’s Eddie’s flight.”
OR
Determined to make it home for Buck’s birthday, Eddie doesn’t realise that battling airport chaos wasn’t his only fight. When his plane crashes, he faces a fight for survival and for Buck.

Summary
“Well, I survived a lightning strike.”
Eddie's laughter froze on his lips. Across the table, Bobby turned rigid.
“Do you really wanna measure this, Buck? Here, against us?” Chimney looked around, and his grin faded immediately. “I mean, talk about surviving...”
He left the rest unspoken. The scar beneath Eddie's right collarbone flared up in a way it hadn't for months.
“I still can't believe you did that,” Natalia said. “That's so cool.”--
Eddie confronts Buck, has a realization in the middle of an argument, and just when he thinks it can't get worse, he gets a call from Texas that pulls the ground from beneath his feet, figuratively spoken. (The universe is watching. If the two firefighters don't get their act together, the next collapse will be the literal kind.)

Summary
“Come on. You and me could—”
Buck caught Chimney moving to intervene between them but the words were already falling past Buck’s lips before he even realized he was speaking.
“I have a boyfriend.”
Buck stopped when he registered the words.
So, did Chimney before he shot Buck a look over his shoulder like Buck had grown a second head. Probably because, like Buck, Chimney knew that Buck did not have a boyfriend. In fact, he’d been single for a painfully long time since he and Taylor split up. Single and probably very obviously hung up on his best friend who didn’t seem to notice the way Buck would throw himself into oncoming traffic if Eddie asked.
Prompt: Scarpia Ultimatum aka "I'll do anything if you promise not to hurt him!"

Summary
At least Buck’s okay. He’s outside, safe, doing his job. Buck’s okay, which means no matter what happens inside this van, If the crushing weight of the fridge takes him before Buck can get to him, if the van pancakes or flips or any number of likely disasters occur, if Eddie dies in here, alone, and in pain, then…
He thinks of Mallory, of Jo. How they’d called out for each other.
His eyes shut briefly as Mallory’s words echo in his head. “She’s not my daughter. Jo’s mother was my best friend… she saved me so many times.”

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
He sees forever when he looks at Eddie, but he might never get that. He might not even get tomorrow with him. And how is that fair? How can he lose him when he’s only just found him - when he’s only just realised? God, how is he supposed to tell Chris?
“I can’t - I can’t. Bobby,” Buck chokes. “Bobby, don’t make me tell Christopher again. I can’t. I can’t do it again, please…”
He knows he’s borderline incoherent - knows that he sounds like he’s losing his mind. Because he is. He’s spiralling. Buck grasps at his chest like he can somehow crack his own ribs open and give himself room to breathe, but it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work, and he’s gasping, and…

Summary
"Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”
“I’m not leaving you.”
“What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”
For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.
Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.
Thinking of all the things she would lose.
OR
Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.

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
Eddie licked his dry lips as he reached for his radio, trying to keep his movements slow and delicate to prevent any more damage to himself or Buck. “Diaz to Captain Nash.”
“Go for Nash,” came Bobby’s quick reply. “You two okay? Where are you?”
“We’re in a bit of a sticky situation here…”
“We’re a shish kabob, Cap!” Buck chimed in.
Eddie rolled his eyes.
