Summary
The thing is, Eddie knew a month ago.
A normal day, a completely normal day that turned on it's head. Between one second and the next he was violently hit with the realisation that he wanted to kiss his best friend.

Summary
Eddie pressed a cotton pad soaked in disinfectant tight against the wound, and while Buck had been through far worse, it was easier to show his pain around Eddie.
He let out a short cry, leaning forwards slightly and grabbing onto Eddie’s shoulder before he could spare it a second thought. He needed something to hold onto, something warm and steady and real to remind him he was okay.
“I’m sorry, I know,” Eddie soothed him quickly, and clearly went to pat Buck’s hand but found himself with no free limbs. He glanced about for a moment, then lowered his head to press a quick kiss to the back of Buck’s hand. “Almost done, then you can sleep”

On their way home to LA after the events of
the kidnapping, Buck and Eddie stop to tend to each others wounds, mental and physical. -

Summary
Maddie’s eyebrows rise, and she looks past Buck to Eddie, the corners of her mouth curling upwards. “My kisses don’t work on Uncle Eddie,” she says, and if she thinks Buck misses the way she says it—Uncle Eddie—she’s sorely mistaken. He knows exactly what she’s doing.
And he realizes too late that that means he should probably be afraid.
Jee gasps, eyes going wide. “What?” She asks breathlessly. “Then how will his ouchies get better?”
Maddie hums thoughtfully—performatively—before her eyes slowly slide over to Buck. He starts to shake his head, unsure exactly what she’s about to do but deeply aware that he’s not going to like it. “I have heard,” she says, leaning into her like she has a secret, “That best friend kisses are just as good as mommy kisses.” She tosses her hair over her shoulder and looks at Chimney. “And almost as strong as daddy kisses, too.”

Summary
“We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”
Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”
Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”
And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.
“It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”
(or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)

Summary
Three shots ring out.
Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.
There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)
Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

Summary
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Bobby,” Buck bites out. “He took three months off. Saw a physical therapist. Did a few sessions with Frank. Clearly, he’s doing great.”
Bobby chews his lip. “If you’re sure,” he says finally. “He just looked a little off at that car crash, is all.”
“I would have noticed,” Buck insists. “It’s Eddie. I would’ve noticed.”
Or, healing doesn't happen in tandem

“Can you open your eyes?”
“No. I can’t look at you.”
“Because I’m gay?”
Buck sighs dramatically.
“Because you’re pretty. And because you’re gay. Because you’re gay and pretty.”
“Buck,” Eddie laughs. “Open your eyes.”
Or, Eddie comes out to Buck. Buck panics. Hijinks ensue.

Summary
“I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.
Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”
“Buck, I—”
“She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”
-----
A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.
----
It's the 63rd Annual Los Angeles Fire Muster & Firefighter’s Family Day, and inter-station relations are about to get real friendly between fire houses 6 and 118.

Summary
Eddie huffed out a breath. “I’m having a crisis.”
And Bobby, he wasn’t proud of it, but the word ‘finally’ was flashing in front of his eyes in giant, neon yellow letters, because surely, surely this meant that he’d figured it out. Finally, at long last, Eddie was having the crisis they’d all been waiting for since he’d started a thousand emergencies earlier.Bobby waited, silent and hopeful, relieved that they’d finally gotten there.
“I think I’m homophobic.”
Bobby blinked at him.
“I’m sorry?”

Five times Bobby tried to gently hold Buddie's hands and tell them they were in love, and one time they got the picture.

Summary
It was Claire, a girl in his class, who had first broached the subject, who had planted the very idea, which obviously meant all the scheming Christopher had done over the last month was entirely down to her. Besides he didn’t understand what his father could possibly be so upset about? He certainly hadn’t been complaining during their dates. In fact, given he hadn’t once thought to question the situations they found themselves in- even during the candle lit dinner, kind of said it all.
His dad wanted Buck.
or
Chris gets involved in Eddie's dating life.
What follows is a story of them falling deeper in love, and maybe finally realising it

Summary
“Oh… you really are a bad stereotype,” A soft chuckle is carried on the wind, enters and fills his apartment with a surprising amount of warmth. “What was the plan, exactly? We’re a few stories off the ground… Do you have a lot of flying enemies? Is my arrival just a typical Tuesday night for you?” Spider-Man’s face pops into view and Buck feels his own countenance fall into something softer.
“First of all, it is absolutely Thursday evening bug boy,” Buck starts and the hero groans, goading a small laugh out of the firefighter. “Second of all…. There was no real plan. I kind of thought you were just going to be some weird kid’s broken drone and I could scare them a little bit.” Buck shrugs halfheartedly, a small grin stretching across his face at an alarming speed.
“You take joy out of scaring kids?” Spider-Man replies, a tinge of something serious in his voice.
“Nah, but I do take joy in giving them the gift of being able to scare their own little friends,” He answers haughtily. “Speaking of, why were you here to scare me… friend?”
“So you’re an EMT if I’m not mistaken?”

“Okay, I know we kind of all had an unspoken rule not to talk about it, but…”
“Buck and Eddie are being weird as hell?” Chim asked, sucking in a breath like he'd been holding back from letting the same thought out for far too long.
“Yes!” Hen hissed, relieved that she wasn't the only to see the weirdness in the room. “Now, look, they're my friends and so obviously I want them to be happy, but it's also just throwing the team vibe way off.”
Bobby took a long, tired breath. “Okay. So what did you have in mind?”
Several things, as it turned out. Between them, they managed to come up with the very vague outline of a plan. Or a few plans, really, depending on how many failed.
OR -
When Buck and Eddie aren't speaking, Hen decides to take matters into her own hands.

Summary
There’s always been a lingering precedent- Buck was born to save, born to die trying to at the very least. Buck couldn’t save Daniel, could barely save Chris, dragged Eddie across hot pavement under a burning fire truck, couldn't save his sister or his parents from the lifelong heartbreak of losing a child.
Buck was born to save. He’s just not too good at much else.

Summary
“What was it like?” Eddie makes a frustrated sound, squirms a bit more and Buck really wishes he would stop because all this moving around is not mixing well with the amount of vodka shots in his stomach. “The kiss. You never said.”
Buck frowns. “With a man? Or with Tommy specifically?”
“With a man, I guess.” Eddie is quiet for a bit, then adds, “Never mind. It’s stupid.”
“It’s not stupid,” Buck replies, absent-mindedly patting his stomach again. He yawns, and says, “I don’t know. It’s a kiss, you know. If you close your eyes, it’s not that different.”
aka that thing Angela Bassett said that Oliver told her about the bucktommy kiss inspired me, god bless, so i got rid of Tommy and rambled for 11k words about Buck and Eddie kissing drunk at the bachelor party and then not using their words about it

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.
