    Summary

    Bodies break down, things go wrong, and sometimes life doesn't go to plan. In those moments, your heart races, your life falls into the hands of those around you, and you have to take a leap of faith.

    All these things are familiar to Ethan. They come naturally to him. Just another part of the job.

    What's usually not part of the job is falling in love. But Ethan's heart races, his life falls into the hands of those around him, and he has to take a leap of faith anyway.

    This is how it goes.

    Summary

    “At what point,” Benji asks Brandt, fretful, chewing on the end of a pen as he sorts through the documents, “does someone move in with you?”

    “What are you asking me?” Brandt says.

    “It’s just that I think Ethan moved in with me,” Benji says, face hot.

    “You don’t know?” Brandt says, incredulous and, if Benji’s being honest with himself, coated in a laugh.

     

    or, Ethan and Benji are both very bad at communicating.

    Summary

    Right as Buck reached the curb, he heard a very familiar voice call out his name. He turned with a grin on his face and a greeting for Christopher on the tip of his tongue. His eyes glanced to Eddie and-

    Oh.

     

    Oh.

     

    Buck may be malfunctioning.

    Summary

    He keeps reminding himself it’s not going to go anywhere, but if it’s a crime to appreciate his ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend’s gorgeous colleague’s face while he’s feeling extremely single before the holidays, then lock him up, your honour, and throw away the key.

    His brain might be telling him it’s all completely casual – he’s just being friendly with the 118 until Lucy announces the engagement’s off (and, hey, maybe he’ll get to keep a few of them in the break-up). But his brain doesn’t matter as far as his heart is concerned; when Eddie Diaz finally walks through the door of Ye Olde Bar just a little after 7, it almost beats out of his chest.
    __

    or, Buck finds himself fighting for his life when his ex-girlfriend-turned-best-friend Taylor asks him to pretend to be her girlfriend Lucy's fiancé while she's in the hospital after a freak bar accident, and the entire 118 show up too. It's all going (mostly) well until he accidentally falls in love with Lucy's colleague, a hot single dad firefighter named Eddie Diaz.
    __

    or, a Buddie retelling of the 1995 rom-com While You Were Sleeping, but Buck is Sandra Bullock, Eddie is Bill Pullman, and the 118 are the coma guy's family.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)
