    Summary

    He feels unhinged. He feels like all his bones are unspooling into piles of spaghetti that someone then tazed. Oh god-

    "Does Eddie know he's gay?!!"

    "You don't even know he's gay," Hen says calmly. "Not for sure. You can't assume these things unless you talk to him, Buck."

    "That's why he doesn't want to date!" Buck plows on, Hen's words already buried under ten million gay possibilities. "Why he hasn't looked at a woman in over a year. Why he was always so bad at dating despite being the hottest person to walk this earth."

    "Okay, I think we're getting a bit carried away here."

    "Hen, he keeps wearing my clothes."

    “He- what?"

    OR

    Buck is determined to give Eddie a fun, relaxing trip to Nashville for the firefighter games and can be so totally normal about his best friend wearing his clothes and letting his guard down and also maybe possible being gay.

    Summary

    “A week,” Eddie sighed. “We can do this, right?”

    Eddie’s gaze was pleading, needing assurance and comfort. His eyebrows were pinched in the middle of his forehead and Buck wanted to reach out and smooth it out with his thumb. Instead, he said, “’Course we can. We’ve faced tsunamis, beenados, earthquakes, broken dams… hey, where do we think the Diaz Parents Staying For A Week ranks?”

    “Most likely to end in death,” Eddie muttered.

    Buck clicked his tongue as he pulled the bowls from the cabinet for the salad, “That’s the lightning strike, actually.”

     

    or

     

    The Diaz parents showing up unexpectedly to the shared Buckley-Diaz household leads to some unexpected confrontations, late night conversations, and over due confessions.

    Summary

    When Jake is traded to the Bills at the start of the season, Bradley faces the loss of one of his best targets downfield and his best friend 7 hours out of reach. This would be hard enough as it is, except Bradley is also hit with the realization he's been in love with Jake and is a complete fool about the whole ordeal.

    Jake fell first. Bradley fell harder, with the cataclysmic drama only a NFL starting quarterback could be capable of.

    Summary

    The morning of his first day of classes, Jake runs out of coffee. It feels like an omen for the rest of the semester, until it leads him to a coffee shop where he meets Bradley Bradshaw, a hot, albeit infuriating, barista. He keeps Jake coming back, even though he never makes what Jake orders.

    (or, five times Bradley makes Jake the wrong drink, and the one time he makes Jake exactly what he wants.)

    Summary

    “Did you know that kissing is good for you?”

    Buck asks the question out of absolutely nowhere, and Eddie blinks as he tries to process the words. To be fair, it’s barely seven in the morning — on their day off, after Eddie’s night on the couch — and he’s yet to have the coffee that typically kicks his brain into action.

    Also, what?

    “Buck,” he says, rubbing at his eyes. “What?”

    Or: Eddie and Buck start platonically kissing.

    Summary

    No. No, Eddie’s not leaving, he’s going away. It’s not the same thing, it’s not, but Buck can’t swallow past the bitter sting in the back of his throat that warns it is, it is the same, it’s you.
    Buck is not being abandoned. He is not being left behind.
    It just feels that way.

    (or, the thought of dying alone has always terrified Buck, but dying in Eddie’s arms is worse.)

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz would like to say that the 118 needs a more involved HR department, or maybe he just needs friends who do less meddling

    _____

    "Eddie," Buck says seriously, once he's done hiccuping through his giggles, one stray hand resting on Eddie's knee, "I hate to break this to you, but you have a son. That can't be true."

    "Exactly!" Hen's own drink sloshes dangerously towards the rim as she pointed it at Eddie. "If you couldn't have sex, then you wouldn't have a kid." She gasps. "Wait, you're from Texas! Maybe you don't know that!"

    "It's a serious problem," Chimney confirms solemnly. "Poor little kids from Texas, all thinking that babies come from storks."

    Eddie huffs another unhappy laugh. "Sorry I don't want to listen to you give up on my son."

    Buck snarls. "You said no one would fight for him harder than me, but how do you expect me to fight this?"

    Summary

    Because everyone leaves. His entire life, no one has ever stayed with him. No one has wanted him enough to stay. He thought Eddie was different. God does he sound selfish. Buck knows it isn’t about him, but oh, is it so hard not to feel like he could’ve been better. Could’ve been more.

    "Eddie."

    "No."

    "Eddie-"

    "Don't make me choose between having you or my son,” Eddie says, voice cracking, “Because I didn’t have to choose when you weren’t an option, so don’t make yourself an option, Buck, please.”

    Summary

    Buck had once told Eddie the universe was screaming at him. Truthfully, he should have screamed back.

    What a cruel joke, Eddie thinks, hysterically. Take me instead, your fight is with me.

    Buck & Eddie get stuck. They have a lot of feelings about it.

    Summary

    "Night, Buck.” Eddie whispers into the darkness. He listens to Buck’s breathing even out, feels his own eyelids get heavy. And maybe it's the lingering tequila in his blood, or maybe it’s the exhaustion tearing down all his walls of shoulds and shouldn’ts. Either way, he barely even thinks. He just rolls over and drapes a heavy arm across Buck's waist, like it’s muscle memory. The front of his knees press into the back of Buck's, and his nose brushes against the soft skin of his neck. Buck sighs and practically melts in his arms, and before he knows it, Eddie’s falling asleep faster than he has in years.

    Or, five times Buck and Eddie cuddle drunk and one time they cuddle sober.

    Summary

    “Um. He’s.. well — he has a list. An…agenda.”

    “An agenda?”

    “Yes. Like, you know. It’s a - - it’s a gay agenda,” Buck winces.

    “Great. Okay. So, my son is queer-eyeing me?”

    “I believe that is what’s about to happen, yes.”

    “Wonderful.”

    Or, Christoper hyper-fixates on Queer Eye and takes it out on his freshly gay father. Buck's there, too.

    Summary

    “Your safety is my priority right now. How long have you been thinking about this?” he repeats.

    Eddie wants to tell him that it only happened yesterday, but then he thinks about quarantine, and when Shannon died, and when she left for LA after he was discharged, and when he found out Chris was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and when Shannon told him she was pregnant, and when he was ten and his dad yelled at him for crashing his new truck because his mom was in labor and nobody was around to take her to the hospital. He thinks about how he wanted to disappear every time, wished for something to kill him so that he didn’t have to face his fears, deal with reality. It hits him like his dad’s truck hit the tree.

    “Since I was in elementary school,” he admits breathlessly.

    Summary

    “This is about you, and the fact that you’re following her not because you love her, or even because you think she should be in Christopher’s life. No, you’re following her because you are hiding behind this stupid fucking teenage marriage that neither of you wanted in the first place. You’re following her because you refuse to accept that it is never going to work out, because if you do, then you’ll have to acknowledge why.”

    “What the fuck are you trying to say, Sophia,” Eddie gritted out through his teeth, voice low and shaking with some combination of rage and the same, bone deep terror that he’d felt every day since he was sixteen, or ten, or eight, whenever it was when he first realised that there was something inherently broken about him.

    Sophia’s eyes hardened, her tone dropping to match his: cold, hard. Furious. Scared. “You know exactly what I’m saying, Eddie.”

    Eddie and Sophia at a number of turning points throughout Eddie's life. Eddie can't stop running from himself. Sophia desperately tries to help. Things fall apart.

    Because you can shout as loud as you want, but if someone doesn't want to listen, they'll stick their fingers in their ears and start singing.

    Summary

    So it becomes a thing. ‘It’ being Buck coming the next night with an overnight bag, and then the night after that. ‘It’ being Buck finally deciding to take the extended leave, to all of their surprise. ‘It’ being Buck sleeping on his couch. Eddie starts every morning watching Buck teach Chris some new breakfast sandwich combo, the sunlight streaming in through the window turning them both golden so he couldn’t look away if he wanted to.

    (And he doesn’t. It’d probably take nothing less than rapture for him to blink, and even then, Heaven could wait a few seconds.)

    Summary

    “It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”

     

    “So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”

     

    or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along
