Summary
On a quiet weekend, Eddie surprises Buck with a drive up the coast to see elephant seals. The road is long, the air is salty, and the space between them feels different when there’s nowhere else to be.

Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
“Wanna dance?” Eddie asks, leaning only slightly away to look at Buck. He’s smirking now, eyes traveling all over Buck’s face, taking in his expression and the color blooming on his cheeks.
There’s a look in Eddie’s eyes now, one that Buck hadn’t quite seen before this trip. Or had he? Did it just not mean to him then what he realizes, or thinks, it means now? Regardless, it confirms a thought that has been niggling at the back of his mind all night.
Flirting. Eddie was flirting with him.
or, Buck visits Eddie in Texas a few months after he leaves LA. They road trip to Austin with Adriana to stay with Sophia, who has planned a night out on the town that none of them will soon forget - especially Buck and Eddie.

Summary
Hen scoffed. “I never said I wanted to be part of your hair-brained scheme.”
“Please, Hen. I can’t try and explain to another one of my children that Uncle Buck and Uncle Eddie aren’t actually married, they’re just like That.” When Hen remained unmoved, Chimney added, “I need you. I can’t do this without your help.”
Hen just stared at Chim; her arms crossed. Buck couldn’t see her face, but he had a pretty good idea of what expression she was making, dark brows drawn together, eyes narrowed, lips pursed.
“Ugh,” she groaned at last, “fine, I’ll help you.” Chim almost started to whoop in delight, when Hen cut him off. “On one condition,” she said. “You’re not allowed to tell one of them that the other is dead. They already have enough trauma around that.”
Chim pouted. “You’re no fun.”
(Or, It’s 2025, and no one knows that they’re dating)

Summary
“A week,” Eddie sighed. “We can do this, right?”
Eddie’s gaze was pleading, needing assurance and comfort. His eyebrows were pinched in the middle of his forehead and Buck wanted to reach out and smooth it out with his thumb. Instead, he said, “’Course we can. We’ve faced tsunamis, beenados, earthquakes, broken dams… hey, where do we think the Diaz Parents Staying For A Week ranks?”
“Most likely to end in death,” Eddie muttered.
Buck clicked his tongue as he pulled the bowls from the cabinet for the salad, “That’s the lightning strike, actually.”
or
The Diaz parents showing up unexpectedly to the shared Buckley-Diaz household leads to some unexpected confrontations, late night conversations, and over due confessions.
