Summary
A set of canon compliant texting fics. They can each stand alone and be read separately if preferred - the first is fluffier and showcases Buck and Bobby's relationship from pre-canon to the lightning strike, the second part picks up immediately after this and goes through Season 7 and part of Season 8 (to 8x13). The final part is set in the aftermath of 8x15 and focuses on Buck's grief.

Summary
Buck and Eddie are best friend, a team. They always have each other’s backs.
But when Eddie realises that Buck is purposely putting himself in danger to project Eddie, he can’t stand the thought of Buck getting hurt for him.
A series of difficult calls have serious repercussions, and bring to the surface feelings that had been hidden.

Summary
Bobby slaps both gloved palms against the glass. “What are you saying, Buck?”
Buck doesn’t reply. He won’t meet Bobby’s eyes. He bows his head a little, reaching for the latch on his helmet.
“Buck!” Cold dread spills into the sockets of all of Bobby’s joints. “What are you doing!”
Buck fumbles to release the lock, but he gets it on the second try.
“Put your helmet back on! Kid!”
-OR-
Embark with me on an angsty journey as we imagine a universe in which it was not Bobby who was infected with CCHF, but Buck. That means Buck was stuck inside with the team in 8x14 and 8x15 while Bobby was running around outside with Athena. And Buck didn't tell anyone he'd been exposed. Let’s assume everything else is the same. Oh, except no one’s dying this time because I said so.

Summary
After returning from Afghanistan Buck and Eddie move to LA to put down roots and in the process build the family they deserve, not the ones they were born with.
-
“What are you doing here?” Buck asked, “I thought you were going to station six?”
Eddie had that shit eating grin he got whenever he was being a cheeky bastard, “Last minute change of plans.” He gave a faux nonchalant shrug.
Suddenly Buck’s face fell into a suspicious glare, “You’re not fucking with me, are you? Rocking up to tease me with those abs of yours and then fucking off to your actual station?”
Eddie’s smile turned fond, enough confirmation that this was for real, “No, I’m here for good.”
“Good, I’ll introduce you then.” Eddie followed Buck as he led him back to the small group, “Everyone this is Eddie Diaz, Eddie this is Hen, Bobby and Chimney.”
“I didn’t realise you two knew each other.” Bobby said, analysing the two of them.
Eddie and Buck began to laugh in unison, “Know each other?” Buck said, speaking through the laugh.
“We share a mortgage.” Eddie finished for him.

Summary
When infamous rockstar Evan “Buck” Buckley gets injured (again), his label hires Army vet-turned-EMT Eddie Diaz to shadow him on tour. Eddie’s job is simple: keep Buck breathing. But nothing about Buck is simple—not his smile, not his secrets, and definitely not the way he starts to feel like home.
Eddie’s supposed to keep Buck safe. Buck’s supposed to stay out of trouble. But somewhere between motel parking lots, midnight emergency calls, and songs that sound too much like confessions, lines blur—and hearts get caught in the wreckage.
This tour might save Buck’s career. It might ruin Eddie’s life. Or maybe, if they’re lucky, it could be the start of something louder than either of them expected.
