Summary
Eddie doesn’t realise the pattern until Karen says, “You’re collecting us like Pokémon.”
“What, Wilsons?” Eddie says. He’s mostly distracted by Christopher on the couch, who is with Denny showing Miles, Hen and Karen’s newest foster, how to play Animal Crossing on his Switch. Miles is already developing the same starry-eyed look in his eyes Christopher himself gets around Buck. “You certainly don’t make it hard.”
“Not Wilsons, dummy,” Karen says. “Lesbians.”
Which is—not what Eddie was expecting her to say. “Uh. What?”
or, Eddie befriends May and Linda at dispatch. Then realises some stuff.

Summary
“Oh my God,” the girl says.
It’s not the oddest exclamation Eddie’s heard from a person who’s just crashed their car into a telephone pole, but more the way it’s said: something dizzied and a little resigned, as though she is both concussed and mostly just inconvenienced by it. It’s enough for Eddie to peer into the window as Buck heaves at the car door with the jaws of life, armed with a penlight. “Ma’am, can you tell me your name?”
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” the girl says, which doesn’t quite sound like a name to Eddie. He’s just about to tell her as much until she goes, “You’re LAFD Updates man.”
or, five times someone recognises Eddie as the LAFD Updates man.

Bookmarker's Notes
She just keeps staring at Eddie. Eddie pretends he doesn’t notice and studiously examines her little spice rack as though perhaps that could have been the catalyst for the fire. It’s kinda cute, actually; a little Ferris wheel that rotates on a handle. Maybe he can get one for Buck for Christmas: he’s big on organisation and janky trinkets, hence why Eddie’s kitchen windowsill is crammed with tacky porcelain frogs and his toilet paper dispenser is shaped like a gnome. This thing probably falls right in the overlap of the Venn diagram of useful and useless, which is right where Buck’s interior decoration falls.

Summary
“I’m not regretting breaking up with Taylor,” Buck says. “It just… would have been nice to go with someone, is all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely over Ali, and I’m happy for her and everything, but…”
“But you also want to show that she’s not the only one who could move on,” Eddie says.
And yeah. That’s pretty much right on the money. Always Eddie, to see him, ugliness and all. It’s a shit thought to have, because the last person Ali Martin’s big day is about is him, but—
Well, but. He’s thirty-one and in love with his best friend, who is decidedly not in love with him. He thinks he’s earned the right to be a little uncharitable.
Then Eddie says, very casually, “Just take me.”
Or, Buck gets invited to an ex’s wedding. Eddie volunteers to come as his date.

“Wait,” Lucy says. “Isn’t that country guy doing a show there tonight?”
“Country guy?” Chimney says.
“Yeah, you know him. What’s his name—Gary something? He’s the one with the…” She does an ambiguous gesture, snapping her fingers to remember. “Glitter. And cowboy hat. Right?”
The image vaguely rings a bell in Eddie’s head. To Buck, he says, “Don’t you listen to a singer who wears glitter and cowboy hats?”
Buck’s face has steadily gone redder and redder and he’s stoutly avoiding eye contact, and oh, yeah, he so does, and yeah, this is so him. “…No.”
or, Mr LAFD Updates Man meets a popstar.

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
“Now that is a handsome man.”
The first thing Hen notices about New Recruit Eddie Diaz is that he is in possession of a remarkable set of abdominal muscles. The next thing she notices is the wedding ring.
And Buck is staring at him like a piece of meat.
“Oh, nuh-uh,” she says immediately. “Don’t even think about it, Buckley.”
or, Eddie is new, and married, and Buck won’t stop flirting. 5+1.

Summary
Eddie shrugs. “Christopher mentioned to Daniel that Buck and I are partners. I mean, sure, it’s a little weird that she invited him over as well, but—”
“Partners,” Hen interrupts, “like work partners?”
Eddie and Buck glance at each other. “Uh, yeah?” Eddie says. “What other type of partner?”
Hen stares at them for a moment, before she bursts out laughing. “You dumbasses. She thinks you’re together.”
or, Eddie joins the PTA.

Summary
Buck’s voice was soft and hesitant, but full of patience when he finally spoke again. “Did I do something to upset you, Chris? I can leave—”
“No!” Chris whirled on him, a complete shift from the standoffish vibe he had been giving a second ago. The tears he bravely held back finally broke free from his eyes, sliding down his rosy cheeks from behind his glasses. He shook his head vehemently, the yellow crayon falling to the table. “No, I’m not mad. Please…” His words turned to whimpers, his lip trembling. “Please don’t leave me too.”

Summary
Eddie isn’t dating right now. Eddie probably isn’t dating ever again, actually, given the fact that he had panic attacks over the thought of spending his life with the last woman that he dated.
So if he’s not dating - and he’s not - then it isn’t even relevant.
Until some guy flirts with Buck when they’re on a call, and Eddie briefly considers how likely he is to be acquitted of murder.

Summary
“I left because he was abusing me,” Buck confesses.
The room becomes so still, so silent that Buck can almost hear his words echoing around it. His chest feels tight, like the admission is trying to suffocate him, make him take the words back and swallow them down so they can all forget.

Summary
It’s just - it’s too much, and not enough, and Eddie isn’t sure if he’s allowed to want more than this, but he does anyway. He wants everything with Buck.

Summary
They both know this is it. That beyond this barren landscape, whatever they found here will cease to exist.
It was born here and it’ll die here, and Eddie will spend the rest of his life missing it, but he’s not allowed to take it with him. They have to bury it - dig six feet down and submerge it in the sun-scorched earth so she can remember it for them. So she can cradle it and keep it safe, where no one can ever touch it. Where no one can ever taint it.
(Buck and Eddie meet in Afghanistan. It changes everything.)

Summary
“Oh my god, stop it.” Eddie answered, but he was laughing, and so was Buck, and Eddie mimed throwing his magazine at Buck.
Buck huffed at him, rolling his eyes. “But you won’t abandon me if I get cursed? Even if I look like that corpse?”
Eddie scoffed, “Buck. Don’t be silly. You being pretty is, believe it or not, incidental to our friendship.”
OR -
A oneshot written in its entirety at 3am based on the 5x8 snippet of Buck and Tommy in hospital.
Buck thinks he's cursed, Eddie can't stop looking at his chest.

Summary
Eddie flipped the postcard one last time, reading over the words he’d inked into the paper. His thumb brushed along the corner as he slipped the card into the slot.
Hey Buck,
I’m drunk in Texas and this is still the only address I know by heart. I miss you.
Yours,
E.D.
Or; Eddie figures some things out about himself while he's in Texas. Then Chris asks to move back to L.A.

Summary
“I swear, this doesn’t normally happen to me.”
He didn’t normally run along trying to justify himself either, but it didn’t matter, because his date — Mia? Maya? — was already halfway out the door.
“Hey, man, you don’t have to justify yourself to me… just maybe don’t go calling yourself Firehose if the hose is lacking… water pressure.”
Buck was going to jump out a window.
“I don’t lack water pressure, okay, this has really never happened before. And Firehose is old, I didn’t even realise that name was still attached to the profile but—”
She sighed, “We’re not dating, Bock.” Buck’s brows wrinkled, “this was meant to be a short hookup, and your hook just isn’t going up, so I’m gonna head out.”
Before Buck could even argue any further, Meena was gone.
Or maybe it was Milla.
OR -
Eddie leaves and Buck tries to fuck about it. Instead, he fails miserably and repeatedly, gets a cat and makes some discoveries.

He sighed, “Unfortunately, yeah, I am. I think I have to go home.”
Her brows pinched together, “You’re going home because I don’t have a cat?”
“Yeah.”

Summary
“I want all of this, Eddie. I want a home and a family and I— maybe I can’t have it while I’m sleeping on my best friend’s couch.”
The idea of Buck finding someone else, of him going anywhere further than their living room, sat like a brick in Eddie’s gut. Was he so desperate to escape? Could he see it, written all over Eddie’s face? The shift Eddie had been pointedly not looking at since he returned to LA.
“We are your family.”
“I need to learn to—”
“If you say stand on your own two feet one more time, Buck, I swear!”
Buck heaved a sigh, put upon and irritated, “Well, what’s so wrong with that?”
“We’ve fucking been alone, Buck. Me and you, all our lives, we’ve been doing it alone. You grew up alone. I did too. You don’t need to learn how to be alone, you need to learn how to lean on the people who are offering you their shoulder.”
OR -
An 8x18 epilogue/fix-it. Buck and Eddie fight, a few truths come to light and they learn how to lean on each other again.
