Summary
There is a box in Eddie’s mind.
There is a box, and in it he places all the things he can’t have: pink nail polish, and rainbow hues, and storm grey eyes. He fills it until it is full to bursting and he clicks it shut.
He locks his box and he throws away the key.
Years later, there will be a boy, and his clever fingers will reach into his skull, untangle the knot of fear and hate and longing and repression that resides within his brain, and unlock the lid.
For now, the box will be forgotten.
Or, Eddie is lost, and lost, and found again.

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
There’s a new resident moving into the suite across from Buck’s.
“What’s his name?” Buck asks.
“Eddie Diaz,” Nurse Corra tells him.“Hey, you know Eddie is also a retired firefighter."
Eddie Diaz, new recruit, a voice echoes in his mind.
“Huh.” Buck says. "Never heard of him."

Summary
It’s kind of like upturned dinghies in the sea. You see the bottom of them, but not the whole thing. Never the whole thing. It’s hidden underneath the surface, for words aren’t enough to really explain what’s going on.
But upturned dinghies in the sea are enough.
____
OR Eddie pines while Buck dates Natalia.

Summary
“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?”
“T-This is Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz, off-duty firefighters from the Los Angeles Fire Department. We were caught in a landslide in Griffith Park. W-We need help.”
“Evan?”
The word barely rolled over her tongue, it still feels like it is stuck in her throat. Under no circumstances did she ever want to hear her brother’s voice on a 911 call.
“M-Maddie? Oh thank god it’s you! W-We really need your help.”
Buck’s words sound breathless and strained.
“Oh my god, it’s really you… What happened?”
The immediate fear she feels for her brother and Eddie is clawing at her. A hundred scenarios pop into her mind with a terrifying colorfulness that is fed by years of answering distress calls. Until she knows exactly what is going on her brain will concoct the most ghastly nightmare she didn’t even know she was capable of making up.
“We were caught up in a landslide and now we’re trapped in Eddie’s truck underneath the masses. We can’t get out,” Buck says.
