    Summary

    When Buck, a Paralympic sprinter, agrees to go on Dancing With the Stars, he wonders if he's just made the worst decision of his life. But his love life is dead, his social life even more dead, and he doesn't know what to do with his life in the aftermath of the Paralympics, so why not jump headfirst into this opportunity?

    Eddie has been a professional dancer on the show for years, but after a recent divorce and a disappointing showmance, he's fallen out of love with his job, with dancing, with himself. He has no hope for the next season, until he meets one Buck Buckley.

    The pair feel an instant connection, but will it be enough to see them through the trials and tribulations of the next eleven weeks?

    Summary

    The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.

    Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)

    And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)

    It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
    --
    Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.

    It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.

    Summary

    And Buck can't breathe around the feeling that rises in his chest. It starts small, just a warmth, a flicker, but then it spreads and threatens to overwhelm him.

    Because it's not just that Eddie looks beautiful. It's not just the way his voice wraps around Buck like tangible safety, or how that easy smile makes something in him ache. It's that this gentle, golden moment is everything Buck has ever wanted without even knowing it.

    Just him.

    Just Eddie.

    And something in Buck cracks wide open. A truth spills out before he can stop it, soft like marshmallow but certain like stone.

    "I love you.”

    Oh, shit.

    Or; Buck says I love you over FaceTime, hangs up, spirals, flies to El Paso and gets his man.
