Summary
Mr. Diaz’s eyes are so infuriatingly brown, a roasted chestnut that feels lodged in Buck's throat. In certain flickers of the candlelight, they appear hazel. Another flicker, another color. Caramel, then gold. Buck doesn’t think he’s seen eyes like his before.
“So, what do you recommend? I mean, to encourage affection,” Mr. Diaz hastily elaborates, his eyes briefly shooting over towards Mr. Han before returning to Buck, almost as if he's been caught doing something he shouldn't.
With a grin so wide his cheeks nearly hurt, Buck answers pleasantly, almost saccharinely. “Dancing. Even if one’s partner is barely tolerable.”
A flash bolts across Mr. Diaz’s face, as the recognition of his own words repeated back to him lands with a satisfying crash, his mouth parting slightly as his shoulders drop, like all air escapes him, all because of Buck.
***
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single father in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of partner.

Summary
“My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”
Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.
“She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.
----
Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

at first i disliked the premise of buck having a grown kid and missing all their childhood landmarks but i shouldve trusted elgney, like they always deliver and this was no exception. heartfelt, funny, sweet and romantic.
oh and also i audibly sobbed when athena brought out bobby’s watch like woah. -

Buck pulls open the gate and rushes to the tree, gasping when he sees the crumpled form of a man there. He’s mostly horizontal, laying across the roots, blood soaking the grass beneath him.

In which Buck’s life in L.A. falls apart before it can even begin. He never expects an orange tree to be the thing that changes it all.And along the way, he falls in love!

Summary
In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker.
Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.

Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

“Ev,” Eddie’s soft voice had tears immediately welling in his eyes. He turned to face him.
Wait for me, he wanted Eddie to say, I’ll come back for you.
Please ask me to wait for you.
Eddie swallowed hard, sucking in a slow, deep breath.
Please. Please ask me to wait for you.
“Write to me?”
or
Buck and Eddie meet just days before Eddie is set to be deployed.

Summary
“I ever tell you I used to be a stripper?”
No, Eddie thought, some hysterical kind of indignation slipping into his mind. No, Buck hadn't told him. And why not? Was he planning to use those skills with the guy who looked like the walking personification of a weed pen? Was he just planning to…
Eddie got lost in his quickly forming images of Buck.
As a stripper.
Stripper Buck.
Buck stripping.
Buck naked.
Straight guys sometimes pictured their friends naked. So normal. Just human nature.
OR -
Eddie works out what his joy looks like enough to start making moves on Buck, but does not get far enough to figure out what that means for him. He is also haunted by Chappell Roan.

Summary
Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.
The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.
Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.
-----
In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

Summary
Buck holds up his hands, spreading them almost apologetically, and it still takes Eddie a second too long to realize what he's showing him. He's too busy scanning for fresh scars, or burns, or infected tattoos, to realize for a second -- Buck's left index finger is half gone. It ends just below his second knuckle, the stump already smoothly healed over. Eddie reaches out, the medic in him taking over, and Buck lets him, standing there obediently while Eddie cradles his hand, turns it over between his own.
"It's healed," Eddie says dumbly. "Is there any pain?"
"None," Buck promises.
"But -- when?" Eddie asks.
Buck grimaces. "Six weeks ago," he admits. "Please don't be mad."

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
"You’re acting like you’re not going to have to miss me,” Buck says, pressing the bruise. “Like I’ll be able to come over whenever I want, crash at your place when I get too tired, like you’re not leaving the timezone.”
“Yeah, well I’m trying to keep you in my life,” Eddie bites out, “and you’re acting like this is some kind of permanent goodbye.”
“This is goodbye, Eddie,” Buck retorts, his jaw tense. “You’re leaving.”
*
In which Eddie is delusional, Buck is defeated, and they are both handling the move well.

Buck wakes up in a hospital bed, and it’s not the fact that he’s supposedly seven years into the future that surprises him the most, or the fact that he’s in a hospital bed.
It’s the wedding ring on his finger.

Mrs. Young smiled. “As teachers, we don't get to sit down and talk one on one with each child as much as they deserve. This assignment always grants me a beautiful insight to my students. Their proudest accomplishments, their darkest moments, or even some facts I've never known.”
She lifted a hand to her heart. “So with that, I would like all of you hear from one of the most beautiful essays I've had the pleasure of reading, from one of the-” she sighed. “-funniest kids I've met. Please welcome Christopher Diaz.”
...Christopher smiled into the microphone. "My name is Christopher Diaz. Here's my essay."
"Dear abandoning dead Mom."
The silence from the audience was deafening.
"Oh god." Eddie whispered beside him.
**OR**
Chris gets an award for Student Performance night!

Summary
Eddie feels a little bit like he’s stuck in limbo. He has Buck — except for the couple of hours a week Buck spends with the person who really has him. He has Chris — but only in the once-a-week phone calls and secondhand text messages.
He doesn’t believe in fate. But if he did, Eddie would wonder if it was too much to ask of the universe that he get to have his family be fully his — all the time, and all the way.
Things fall apart when Chris leaves for Texas. They fall apart some more before they can be put back together.
