Summary
It wasn’t that Buck hated his birthday.
At least, that was what he told himself.
He just never had much of a reason to celebrate. Instead, it became another day for him to drag himself through and hope he made it to the other side unscathed. With his luck, it was always easier said than done.
Somehow, every time his birthday rolled around, the universe decided he needed a slap to the face. A reality check. He never fought back and, after a while, came to accept that his birthday would never be anything other than a painful memory.
So, no, he didn’t hate his birthday.
His birthday hated him.

Or 5 times Buck didn't celebrate his birthday and the 1 time he did

Summary
Athena just looks grieved. “Why, then,” she says, “did you get military-grade handcuffs? Were the pink fuzzy ones not macho enough for you?”
Her tone drips with derision. She’s absolutely going home to tell Bobby all about this. “We kept, uh, breaking the pink fuzzy ones,” Eddie admits, and then, “Buck, don’t preen.”
“I’m not preening,” Buck says, probably definitely preening, but like it’s his fault, okay? It’s good to know the bicep curls are working.
or, the handcuff fic.

Summary
When Buck had told them all the Hot Days, Smoldering Nights, Men of the LAFD Wall Calendar had selected him to represent the 118 for the month of July, Eddie hadn’t thought much of it. He’d congratulated him with a clap on the shoulder, laughed along with Hen, Chim, and Bobby’s good-natured teasing, and that had been that.
Well, Eddie certainly isn’t laughing now.
or, Buck gets his picture taken. Eddie loses his mind.

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.

“I need you to propose to me.”
Eddie nearly missed the mug and poured coffee on his own hand.
“What?” he asked, his mouth gone dry.
“I. Need you. To propose to me,” Buck repeated, as if saying it slower would somehow make it make sense.
“Propose…propose marriage?”
“No, a new business venture. Yes, propose marriage, Eddie, come on,” Buck scoffed.
“Right, yeah, okay,” Eddie shrugged, setting down his coffee mug with a loud thunk. He turned to face Buck fully, leveling him with a wide-eyed look. “Again, I have to ask. What?”
or: Buck asks his best friend Eddie to propose to him in public to see if they can score a free dessert. Eddie definitely doesn’t propose to him for real, because that would be insane. Right?

Summary
The memories aren’t fully fleshed out, only flashes of places, people, and feelings. Sometimes they’re tangible, so much so he feels like he can reach it within his fingertips and hold them there.
He’d be washing dishes, and he’d feel the phantom arms of Eddie around his waist, the junction of his neck and shoulder feeling warm. For a flash, he’d see a different kitchen than the one he was in. He’d be looking at a menu in a restaurant, and he thinks he’d hear Eddie’s voice asking, ‘You gonna order the usual?’ When he glances down at the table, he’d be surprised he’s not seeing a deep green tablecloth. He’d doze off on the couch and feel his cheek land on Eddie’s chest, arms wrapping around him, and he’d open his eyes to find himself alone.
How do you explain that away? Missing something you can’t fully remember having?
=
Or, Evan Buckley wakes up without eight years of his memories with some guy named Eddie Diaz on his bedside. Which could mean nothing.

Summary
“Wait, you need a sitter?” Chimney says. Eddie nods. “Maddie’s brother got back in town a few nights ago, he’s looking for work.”
Eddie frowns. He doesn’t know much about this mysterious brother of Maddie’s – doesn’t even really know much about Maddie, either, aside from being Chimney’s girlfriend – but he’s pretty sure every time he’s been brought up in conversation it’s not been particularly inspiring. “Is this the brother who flunked out of college because he spent all his tuition on a motorcycle?”
Chimney colours a little. “Um. No?”
or, Buck babysits Christopher and Eddie is—fine about it, actually.

Summary
And then, from somewhere in the crowd, a familiar voice calls out: “Where’s the patient?”
Buck freezes.
He turns, and there’s Diaz—Dr. Arrogant Himself—striding toward them in dark blue scrubs, exuding confidence like he owns the place.
“Why are you here?” Buck blurts out before he can stop himself.
Diaz doesn’t even glance at him. “Where’s the patient?” he repeats, addressing Bobby instead.
Sure, Eddie Diaz is a surgeon. Fine. But this is their domain—firefighters saving lives in impossible situations—and Buck can’t shake the feeling that Diaz doesn’t trust them to handle it. The arrogance practically radiates off him, rubbing Buck raw with every calm, clipped instruction.
or
The one where Buck is a firefighter and Eddie is a trauma surgeon but they still manage to find their way to each other.

Summary
When the 118 find out about Buck’s secret thirst account on Instagram – to raise fire safety awareness, obviously – they make fun of him the appropriate amount and move on. Eddie, who has had some recent and birthmark-shaped revelations about his feelings, finds it a little harder to do the same.
Of course, Eddie would never invade Buck’s privacy by searching for and finding the anonymous account. Or looking at all the uploaded photos late at night. Or even directly messaging Buck’s secret account. That would be weird, because he’s certainly not planning on doing anything about his newfound attraction.
However, anonymous account @elbombero118 has no such limitations.

Summary
“Didn’t you save Tommy’s life once?” Eddie asks, narrowing his eyes at Chim. “Back when he worked at the 118?”
Chim gives Hen a look that Eddie can’t read.
“I did,” Chim responds eventually. “We were on a call, and there was a building with a gas leak. He’d passed out inside and I ran in to save him. I carried him out just as the building blew up.”
Eddie considers it for a moment. “Why?”
Chim stares at Eddie, a shocked look on his face.
“Eddie!” Hen lightly smacks Eddie’s arm. “You’re a mean drunk.”
“That’s also what we call an inside thought,” Chim adds, now looking vaguely amused.
Eddie shrugs unapologetically. “Well it’s out there now.”

Summary
Eddie didn’t text back in the 20 seconds Buck spent staring at his phone, which was no surprise. There wasn’t any response while he drove to the station, either, but that made perfect sense. Eddie was working today, and he was probably rushing to get there just like Buck was.
Buck wasn’t in the mood to stare at his phone all day, jumping out of his skin at every notification, so he removed the temptation and, in a spurt of newfound maturity, left his phone in his locker for the duration of his shift.
But there was no text when he checked around lunchtime, or when they got a lull after dinner. Or in the morning when his shift was over.
All of that he could easily rationalize away, but after four tortuous days, Buck accepted the fact that he’d been ghosted.

Summary
All Eddie could smell was Buck. He knew Buck had just come back for a run, and the smell of his sweat hit Eddie almost like a storm front blowing over the desert. He could smell his own laundry detergent, Buck had obviously been washing his clothes here with the Tide Free and Clear that Eddie used, and even though it was fragrance free there was always a hint of clean soap about it. But over that was Buck’s own scent. Thick and masculine, salty with sweat and the citrus of the deodorant Eddie knew crusted in his pit hair. It was so shockingly different from the perfume Marisol had worn, lilac and white pine needles.
Eddie swallowed and the smell only got stronger, filling up his entire existence with just Buck for a moment and Eddie had the overwhelming urge to turn his head and press his nose to Buck’s sweaty skin.
~
Eddie is injured on a call and left blinded. Buck immediately volunteers to move into the Diaz house and help Eddie out. Surely this will be a normal few weeks and Eddie's heightened senses will reveal nothing about how intertwined he and Buck are, right?(written for the 911 Gotcha for Gaza)

Summary
“He baby-trapped you,” the man said with a misplaced confidence that was almost impressive, “that’s fucked up, man.”
Buck blinked. Then blinked again. Then, “Uh... no. No, that’s not—”
“Shut it, Benji, that’s not what happened,” the other robber scowled, no longer trying to pretend he wasn’t eavesdropping. “They’re both dudes. A dude can’t baby-trap another dude.”
“Of course they can. Equal rights and shit! That’s what the parades are for.”

There's a hostage situation at the bank and Buck is forced to reevaluate his relationship with Eddie (and vice versa).

Summary
It’s not like Buck needs anyone to tell him what his issues are. They might as well be written on his forehead in bright red marker. He’s not ignoring it or anything; Buck just doesn’t see the point in re-litigating them every time he feels like this, every time he feels like a dog that got sent back to the pound. It’s not like he doesn’t have his friends and family, and Tommy is sleeping right next to him, but there’s a hole in Buck’s chest he’s had since he was born and he still doesn’t know how to fill it.
When the 118 is closed for reconstruction after an earthquake, Buck is a floater for different stations around the city. He tries not to let it get to him. Much.
