    Summary

    Chris shifted uncomfortably, his gaze darting away again. “Because I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to be with Dad right now either. And I didn’t say anything before because you were with Tommy, and I didn’t want to mess things up for you.”

    Buck’s chest tightened, guilt creeping in like a shadow. “Chris, you would never mess things up for me. Never. You’re family. You always have a place here. And you’ll always come first.”

    Chris’s shoulders sagged with relief, but his voice was still small. “So I can live with you?”

    Or

    Buck, struggling with abandonment and feelings of being unworthy, is shaken when Chris calls, asking if he can live with Buck now that he’s no longer with Tommy.

    Still hurt and angry with Eddie, Chris refuses to tell his dad about wanting to live with Buck, leaving Buck caught in the middle, torn between protecting Chris and his loyalty to Eddie. Yet as Buck promises to help, he feels something shift—beneath all the self-doubt and pain, a quiet hope emerges. For the first time in what feels like forever, someone chose him, and maybe, just maybe, he’s not as unworthy of love as he’s always believed.

    Summary

    "E– Evan, what are you doing here?"

     

    Oh.

     

    He realizes, then, that no one is coming. Not for him, at least. No one even noticed he disappeared.

     

    Or

    Buck is kidnapped by a serial killer. Only when Maddie is taken too, do his friends notice his absence. A race against time begins, and the killer has a headstart. But even if they are found in time, some wounds may take longer to heal than others.

    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

    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

    It was Claire, a girl in his class, who had first broached the subject, who had planted the very idea, which obviously meant all the scheming Christopher had done over the last month was entirely down to her. Besides he didn’t understand what his father could possibly be so upset about? He certainly hadn’t been complaining during their dates. In fact, given he hadn’t once thought to question the situations they found themselves in- even during the candle lit dinner, kind of said it all.

    His dad wanted Buck.

    or

    Chris gets involved in Eddie's dating life.

    What follows is a story of them falling deeper in love, and maybe finally realising it
