Summary
“Buck?” Eddie asks when he opens the door. “What’s- is that a baby?”
Buck doesn’t know what to say other than, “Help.”
Buck's running late to work when he finds the baby on his doorstep, and that pretty much sums up this portion of his life. Now he must figure out what to do, how to do it, and why doing it with Eddie gives him a feeling he can’t shake.

Summary
‘I always wanted to be a Jedi as a kid. A long con for Halloween costumes would’ve just meant you secretly read my mind or something.’
‘I am pretty good at that sometimes.’
Buck smiles at him, fond, and Eddie aches, he aches so much to tell Buck all the things about his big stupid gay awakening that he couldn’t tell his best friend when he came out to him during a quiet night sometime after Chris first texted him back in the summer. All the things that are so intimately tied to Buck.
‘You are,’ Buck says, quiet, eyes sparkling and Eddie’s a stronger man than he thought because he doesn't get on one knee in the middle of the kitchen and propose to another man's boyfriend. ‘Really good. At that.’-----
It's Halloween, Chris is heading back to Texas for a few days and Frank gives Eddie therapy homework to do something for himself, to let himself want things. Eddie enlists Buck's help and something shifts between them in the following week.

Summary
“My mom died,” Buck says flatly, like reciting a fact he read somewhere. He adds a small shrug, as if that explains it. It doesn’t feel real. The words sit in the air, weightless and strange.
Eddie frowns. Bobby shifts closer.
“Are you okay?” Bobby asks gently.
Buck blinks at him, then gives a quick nod, too fast to be convincing. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is thin, brittle. “Did you want me to start lunch? I was thinking maybe that cheesy broccoli bake.”
Eddie’s brows knit together. “Buck…” he says carefully, voice low and steady.
“Or chili,” Buck continues, his hands smoothing out a crease in his jacket like that’s the thing that matters. “I think we’ve got enough ground beef.”
“Buck,” Eddie says again, firmer this time.
Buck’s hands still. He finally looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.
Oh.
His mom died.
or
Margaret Buckley dies, and Buck tries to navigate grief, develops a complex relationship with apple pie, while Eddie, as always, is there.

Summary
Look, it’s just- of course, rationally he knew, right? He knew that his grandparents were his dad’s parents, that’s literally how it works.
He just never really- realized what that meant.
But there are tears in his father’s eyes. And Chris remembers something he saw on TikTok a while ago: It’s his dad’s first time living too.
And maybe…maybe he really has been a little hard on him. Shutting him out like that.
“What, Eddie, of course we want you to be hap-” Abuela tries, but Chris’s dad doesn’t let her.
“No,” he interrupts. “No, that’s not true. If you wanted me to be happy, you would’ve helped me. You would’ve let Christopher stay with you for…a month, maybe, to cool down, to get some distance, to get the space he needs. But then you…you would’ve tried, at least. To get us talking. To fix this. To mend what I broke.”
He sounds devastated. So incredibly devastated. And Chris can’t help but think that…his dad kinda has a point there.
Or: Eddie goes to Texas, Chris overhears something he shouldn’t have, Helena Diaz starts feeling as guilty as she fucking should, and somehow, somewhere in between it all turns out okay.

"Well, I would like to have a word with your employer then," Eddie says as he backs towards his car. "Oh no wait a second, that's you! No one is forcing you to do this!"

As a masked killer preys upon the first responders of Los Angeles, Buck and Eddie are forced to reevaluate their feelings for each other amid the chaos.

It was someone with broad shoulders, dressed in dark pants and a dark jacket. They were wearing what looked like a black mask, and a black hood that covered most of their face.The person didn’t make a sound as they tightened their grip on the ax, pulling it from the shattered remains of the Jeep’s back window and sending shards of glass down onto the ground below. Buck was frozen in place as he watched the person standing over him, their chest rising and falling as they hefted the ax over their head.

Summary
So it was him and Hazel against the world. And Buck was okay with that. Even if he did sometimes feel lonely, and wish he had a partner to help him on the hard days. But he didn’t have time for that. He was a dad first, and Hazel his priority, so he was fine with putting his own life on hold while he raised his daughter.
At least, he thought he was.
And then he met Eddie.

“You don’t need to steal the ladder truck to have casual sex.”
Buck huffs, as if Ravi is intentionally missing the point. “Well, yeah, but who knows what Buck 1.0.2 would be capable of.”
Ravi shakes his head. “I really need the software updates to stop.”

Summary
"Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."
Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"
"Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."
And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.

If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?Series

"Buck came to me concerned about his well-being," Bobby starts with a melancholic look, "we both thought that it would be best if he got away for a while to get the help he needs."

Buck sighs and knocks his forehead against Eddie’s. “You’re right,” he says, quiet, nuzzling his nose against Eddie’s and stealing another couple kisses. “Hey. We’re in this together, okay?”
