    Summary

    Eddie tilts his head, his hand sliding off Buck’s knee as he leans back. Buck misses the warmth immediately. “Would that help you—having rules?”
    Buck can only nod in response, equally confused and intrigued by the sudden gleam in Eddie’s eyes.
    Eddie reaches for his beer bottle and brings it to his mouth, tapping the rim against his lower lip. “So if I came up with some dating rules for you to follow, you’d be all right with that?”

    Buck decides to start dating again, and Eddie offers to give him some rules to follow. That's just the kind of great best friend he is. It's a completely platonic arrangement, and Eddie definitely doesn't have any ulterior motives.

    Summary

    “Buck, I don’t want to upset you,” he said. “But can you feel this?” Eddie’s eyes gestured down at his arm. Buck followed along the bandages, expecting to see some sort of spot of red or maybe an odd-angled turn. Instead his heart rose and fell too fast as he realized that since they’d been talking, Eddie hadn’t just had his hand on his shoulder. His other was delicately wrapped in Buck’s exposed fingers, starkly white even against the bedding. Buck tried to move them, wanting so badly, even with all this and even as much as it could give him away, to curl back.
    They didn’t move.
    ……
    After a spiral, Buck attempts the unthinkable. Eddie helps him recover, but his lasting injuries present new challenges that jeopardize his career. Now he has to get his mental health in order, face potentially leaving the firehouse, and all while being completely and totally in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    "Eddie thinks about Pangea, the slow inevitable drift as tectonic plates shifted and new continents emerged. It’s absurd. People are not land masses. They don’t just drift apart like continents or icebergs in the ocean. There was nothing fateful in Eddie and Buck’s dissolve, nothing to do with destiny or the universe. It was simple manmade destruction. Did he stop picking up the phone? Or did Buck stop calling? It was Eddie who stopped responding to texts. There’s evidence, a whole damning record he can scroll through. Maybe if he were brave enough, he’d be able to work it out. Pick apart their conversations, find the cracks, identify the point where they started slipping away from each other. Eddie is not brave enough."

     

    or the Diazes never move back to LA, Eddie lives his best gay life in El Paso, and Buck refuses to stop haunting the narrative

    Summary

    Buck is staring at his ceiling, flickering city lights breathing through the window above his bed. He's been crying a lot lately. Over wet dishes, over sunlight hitting his furniture at pretty angles, over nothing at all. It’s how it always starts.

    He gets emotional; then he gets numb. He never manages to settle on which one is worse.

    This is the part where Buck realises, quite matter-of-factly, that he’s probably going to try to kill himself.

    Or: Buck keeps it together until he can't. Luckily, he's got Eddie—and he'll be damned if he lets his best friend slip through the cracks. It takes two.
