Summary
Buck was once fairly certain that he was a sex addict, but now he was dead certain that he was, empirically, an Eddie addict. He was going through withdrawals. And - no, don’t laugh, what are you laughing about, this was serious, okay? Buck was a serious person with a serious problem. He couldn’t be apart from his best friend without going stark raving mad.
… Maybe Hen had a point about codependency.*
Hen and Chim bet Buck and Eddie that they can't go for a month without talking to each other outside of work. Hilarity (and romance) ensues.

Summary
So he curls his fingers around the wood of his clipboard and clears his throat. “You have really nice hands, you know,” is what he goes with.
Eddie jerks back just a bit, dropping the halligan into the compartment with a thud as he turns shocked eyes back to Buck. “What?”
“Yeah,” god, what does he even say, “they’re uh, strong. And capable. You know, like…they can do a lot of things.”
Okay, so, maybe this whole plan needs a little bit of work.
buck is on a mission to help eddie recover his self-confidence. it goes well for exactly zero parties involved.

Summary
When Bobby had arranged the camping trip, it was with a particular goal in mind, one which he had expressed to his wife early on in the planning.
“And how are you going to make that happen? They’ll get a whiff of you interfering and it’ll be game over,” Athena had commented, but despite sharing her namesake’s wit, she didn’t understand the 118 quite as well as he did.
“I don’t have to do any interfering. All I need to do is get them there, and the rest will work itself out.”
And he was right. A little too right.
Secrets are spilled and truths brought to light when the 118 and their partners go on a camping trip.
Oh, and there’s malaphors. Lots of malaphors.

“Look," Maddie says. "I don’t have a lot of experience here. But I think it might not be exactly what you think. Like sometimes people just get all... twisted up inside. And it takes time to untangle, you know?”

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
“Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”
Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.
“That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him.

Summary
“So you,” Eddie raises an eyebrow, “are going to take this monstrosity home?”
“No,” says Buck. “This guy—” and he bounces the thing in his arms like it's a baby, its limbs flailing, “is for you.”
“For—” Eddie blinks. “Buck.”
“I mean, I hope you'll let me visit him,” Buck says, his smile faltering for a breath, which Eddie only spots because he's already looking, “but I won him for you.”
in which there is a frog, and a fair, and an eddie who allows himself to accept what he deserves.

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
“I'm gay.”
He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.
But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.
He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.
in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Buck’s not going to let Eddie just hide himself away.
He knows Eddie’s in mourning for Christopher, he knows he’s struggling with his actions and everything that happened because of them.
But Buck’s not going to let him drown in his misery and depression. There’s no way he’s going to let him go through this alone, even though Eddie will push back - Buck knows him, and he will push - but he’s going to keep pushing too. He’s not going to let Eddie isolate himself.
So, Operation: Keep Eddie Diaz Busy and Annoyed has started.
Or, the one where Buck forces Eddie to keep busy while Chris is gone, but ends up catching a bad case of The Feelings in the middle of Eddie learning to love pickling things to irritate Chim and charming old ladies through square dancing.

Summary
It begins with three little stars, haphazardly scribbled on an uncompleted inspection report.
Where he had been meticulously documenting the contents of the firetruck only minutes before, putting uniform checkmarks with each item stocked, Buck is now met with the offending doodle. There, squeezed in beside the LAFD emblem, are three stars, drawn in jagged, uneven lines. They can barely be called stars, really, looking more like ink splotches, Buck thinks. He knows, logically, that stars are hard to draw, getting the angles right almost impossible. Everybody expects hand-drawn stars to be squint, never perfectly symmetrical, always a little imperfect. In a way, that is their beauty, a perfect metaphor for humanity.
But these. These are atrocities.
And maybe that is why Buck just stares at the previously unmarred sheet, brain buffering for a good twenty seconds before the truth of the situation catches up with him. “Who did this!”
***
or: Someone at the 118 doesn't know how to leave Buck's clipboard alone. Buck would be a lot more upset about it if it didn't bag him the love of his life.

Summary
Buck is fucking frozen. His mouth is dry, and his brain is blank except for oh no, oh fuck reverberating in his frontal lobe. He can’t answer. He feels the pressure against the metaphorical closet door, the hinges creaking against the weight of the boxes crashing down.
“Are those… hearing aids?” He registers Eddie's voice through the ringing in his ears.
It takes him a moment before he can finally whisper it out. He feels his head nod against his will.
“Yeah.”
The door gives out.
or: how a conversation about tardigrades results in buck grappling with a disability he's suppressed, getting hearing aids, and realizing that the family he craves has been there for him all along. in that order.
