    Summary

    "Holy shit!" Chim chokes, spitting coffee all over the shirt Buck just changed into.

    "Aw c'mon man," Buck sighs, but Chim isn't looking at him. He's staring out the engine bay doors, his face slack with shock as he points weaking at something behind Buck.

    "Eddie's kissing the hot nurse in the parking lot."

    "What hot nurse??" Buck whips around.

    He expects to find some petite woman with smooth brown hair and neat scrubs plastered to Eddie's front. What he finds instead is a very tall, very hot man cradling Eddie's face, titling it upwards into a kiss that looks gentle and earnest, his other hand splayed large and confident against Eddie's waist.

    Or

    Buck loses his goddamn mind after seeing Eddie and Ian kiss. Eddie has no idea what's going on. Until he does.

    Hilarious spiraling Buck

    Summary

    Welcome to the Garden of Delights! A "something for everyone" highly structured sex club that has invested a lot of infrastructure in turning the ethos of "Safe, Sane & Consensual" into a functional business operations model for all types of sexual encounters. (I pitch this to fellow Americans as "like a sexy Dave & Buster's.")

    Aziraphale, a club veteran, and Crowley, a club newbie, keep running into each other in different areas, or grottos, of the club and delighting in how sexually (and perhaps romantically?) compatible they are. Unfortunately, given their mutual penchant for anonymous consensual non-consent encounters, they don't always recognize each other...

    Summary

    “I told you my partner was coming,” the man says, shifting awkwardly. He turns and gestures towards Buck. “Here he is.”

    He’s going to be the best Fake Boyfriend this beautiful man has ever seen.

     

    Or, Eddie needs a fake boyfriend. Buck is about to deliver the Oscar-worthy performance of a lifetime.

    Summary

    “How did you get home from the hospital?”

    “Took an uber.”

    “Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”

    “I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”

    ---

    The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

    Summary

    “I need someone like you—someone who can keep up with him, and have his back, and maybe eventually even rein him in, should that be a thing that is humanly possible to do,” said Bobby, smiling warmly over the remaining half of his sandwich.

    “Oh, I see,” said Eddie. And he did now. That’s what Bobby’s whole hard sell was about—it wasn’t personal, it was about Eddie being the top of this class. “I know the type. You see guys a lot like that in the military.”

    “Oh, no,” said Bobby, “I didn’t mean to—well, what I mean is, I don’t think you have seen a lot of guys like Buck, to be honest. I don’t think there are a lot of people like him.”

    -----

    Hen & Chim discussing the new probie; Buck's forgotten shield ceremony; Eddie's first shift with the 118.

    Summary

    “Is something wrong?” Eddie says.
    “No! It’s all good. Really, really good," Buck says. "Just, I want it to be good for you too. Like, is this actually what you want, or is this what you think I want?”
    Eddie frowns.
    “Is this not what you want?” he says.

    Buck and Eddie (not) talking about it.

    Summary

    The boyfriend looks at Eddie's arm, looks at Eddie's face, does whatever math drunk people do when they're deciding whether a fight is worth it, and somehow arrives at the correct answer. He grabs maybe-horse-Ashley by the elbow and pulls her away, muttering something about firefighters that Buck doesn't catch because he's too busy trying not to pass out.

    Eddie turns around. His hand is still on Buck's chest.

    "Seriously?" One eyebrow up. Not angry yet, but getting there. "We've been here an hour."

    "He came at me!" Buck throws his hands up. Outraged. Innocent. An absolute victim of circumstance and nothing more. "I was just talking to her."

    "You were practically on top of her."

    "That's just how I talk to people, Eddie. I'm a leaner. It's my thing."

    Eddie stares at him for a second. His hand drops from Buck's chest and he shakes his head, turning back to the bar.

    "Get yourself a drink," Eddie says over his shoulder. "And stay out of trouble for five minutes."

    He makes it roughly eleven minutes before he does something stupid again.

    Or,
    Buck is completely normal about Eddie shoving Blue to defend his honor. Really. He is.

    Summary

    There’s a billboard. Which is a normal thing to find on the side of the interstate. Advertisements for car dealerships and injury lawyers and anything you could ever dream of. This, though… this is beyond his wildest dreams.

    This billboard has a picture of a man, about Eddie’s age, blond curly hair and crystal blue eyes.

    The man on the billboard is—

    He is—

    The billboard text swims into focus slowly, as if Eddie is surfacing from deep water.

    THIS IS BUCK.
    HE’S 33, SINGLE, AND A FIREFIGHTER.
    HE’S A GREAT COOK IF YOU DON’T MIND
    BREAKFAST FOOD FOR EVERY MEAL.
    I’M BEGGING SOMEONE TO DATE HIM SO
    HE STOPS THIRD-WHEELING MY MARRIAGE.

    And then, underneath, in smaller letters:

    ALL GENDERS WELCOME TO APPLY.
    I'M DESPERATE AND HE'S HOPELESS.

    PLEASE CONTACT MADDIE AT:
    [email protected]

    Summary

    [When Eddie leaves it’s not grandiose or dramatic. Eddie hugs him and Buck hugs him back, of course.
    He hides his face in the curve of Eddie’s neck and breathes in the scent of him, of pinewood and soap.
    Eddie’s fingers dig in his back, and he prays they might leave marks behind, scratch Eddie’s signature right into his skin, prays they might leave bruises on his very bones, let him keep Eddie right here, in his arms, forever.
    But eventually, gone as all good things do, Eddie pulls back. He smiles, and his eyes are a storm, warm honey clouded with lightning and thunder, and the only thing Buck can do is smile back. He’s never been good at goodbyes, he should be used to them. He isn’t.
    And then, just like that, Eddie’s gone, taking with him half of Buck’s heart and all the oxygen in his lungs.]

    Summary

    So in the middle of Eddie’s dining room, with his brain to mouth filter non-existent (as per usual), Buck blurts out, “Marry me.”

    Eddie sits straight up, looking at him with eyes wide as saucers.

    “Excuse me?”

    “W-well, just think about it. If we get married I can add you and Chris to my insurance policy and that solves your problem.”

    Eddie’s mouth forms a perfect little ‘o’. Buck waits patiently for the floor to open up and swallow him whole.

    When the ground doesn’t do as he’d hoped he realizes he has to say something else. “Obviously, w-we don’t have to,” he’s quick to assure. “But if we did it would be platonic, of course, because you’re straight and–” he pauses, praying for another rogue stroke of lightning. Anything to put him out of his misery right now. “-and like I know that I’m bi now, but this wouldn’t be like that y’know? It would just be two friends helping each other out.” He’s rambling, the words won’t stop tumbling out. “Like a friends with benefits type situation! E-except you know not those kinds of benefits! Like actual benefits! Health and dental.”

    or,

    Eddie is moving to Texas, losing his insurance, and marrying Buck all very heterosexually and platonically.

    Summary

    "Marisol does a double-take when her eyes land on his, and he knows his own expression matches her surprise.

    He hasn’t seen her since their award ceremony, mere days before everything went to shit. After walking in on her boyfriend and a woman who looked exactly like his late wife, Buck kind of figured that he’d never see her again, let alone on Eddie’s front porch.

    Oh yeah, did he forget to mention that he bought Eddie’s house when his friend put it on the market? It was really easy, honestly. He just called the realtor Eddie was using and closed on it before it even had a sign out front."

    Summary

    "Buck had always thought Eddie had nice hands. Strong. Neat. The kind of hands that looked good wrapped around a coffee mug or folded casually in his lap. They weren’t flashy. Eddie didn’t wear rings or wristbands, didn’t go out of his way to draw attention to them, but Buck noticed."

    Or, Buck's obsession with Eddie's hands may be getting a little out of control...

    Summary

    Three weeks after Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck gets a call in the middle of the night from a trauma center in El Paso. Eddie was in a serious car accident and has been rushed into surgery for a skull fracture. Buck rushes to Texas, finding that things are even messier than he imagined, and that's before Eddie wakes up and confesses that he's not sure it was actually an accident. That he might have done it on purpose. So Buck does what his parents never did for him: he steps in, all the way, and helps put his little family back together.

    Summary

    Eddie moaned.

    Not a sleepy sigh. Not a nightmare mumble.

    A fucking moan.

    Then came the panting.

    Buck sat rigid against the headboard and turned his head slowly like he was in a horror movie, as he felt Eddie’s face press into his thigh, rutting against the mattress in lazy little thrusts.

    It was the most erotic, confusing, panic searing moment of his entire life.

    His hand had already been in Eddie’s hair, comforting, sweet, completely innocent—and he’d just… left it there.

    He didn’t mean to keep petting him through it. But there he was, softly stroking his best friend’s hair while he had a wet dream right in front of him.

    Or; Buck and Eddie share a bed and Eddie has dreams that are driving Buck crazy.

    And, here, looking at his best friend, he can see that something’s broken inside him, too. And, maybe it’s the therapy he’s had over the years, his sessions with Frank, but Eddie wants to talk to Buck. He wants Buck to talk to him. Buck, who just looks so fucking sad, still in his dress blues, one hand drinking the beer, the other coming up to loosen his tie.

    This morning, Eddie had noticed Buck tying, untying, retying the tie with breaths of frustration, fingers shaking. “Eddie,” he’d said lowly from across the room, and Eddie wouldn’t have even heard him if he hadn’t been watching. “I, uh, can never – I can never get this right.”

    Summary

    After the fight in the grocery store, Buck feels like he's causing too much damage so he drops the lawsuit and leaves LA, joining a hotshot wildland firefighter crew out of Montana. He's gone for six months until he gets a call from Chris that something is wrong with Eddie, causing him to race back home only to find a very confused Eddie instead of a hurt or depressed Eddie. Eddie talks him into coming inside for a beer and after that Buck can't bring himself to leave the Diaz boys behind again. But that doesn't mean he's ready to talk to anyone else yet. So they just don't tell anyone else Buck is back. For over two years. Even when they start dating.

    Three years after he left LA and the 118, there's a pileup on the 210 in La Tuna Canyon Park and a wildfire racing towards all the crews scrambling desperately to get everyone out in time, including the 118. Buck's crew is in the right place at the right time, and they don't hesitate to come help.
