    Summary

    He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.

    Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.

     
    or: another classic post-lawsuit fic. Angst, hurt, some comfort, more angst, more comfort.

    Summary

    “We need to talk,” Josh says.

    “About what?” Eddie asks. If he were sober, he might feel at least a little bit bad about the pure incredulity in his tone, but as it is, he’s an unknown number of unknown cocktails deep, and can’t get past the fact that he and Josh literally haven’t spoken since Eddie quit dispatch—including at Maddie’s wedding.

    “Tommy,” Josh says.

    “Tommy?” Eddie asks.

    “Tommy,” Josh confirms, nodding solemnly, "and the fact that you hate him."

    Or, Josh and Eddie finally have something in common.

    Summary

    And then, from somewhere in the crowd, a familiar voice calls out: “Where’s the patient?”

    Buck freezes.

    He turns, and there’s Diaz—Dr. Arrogant Himself—striding toward them in dark blue scrubs, exuding confidence like he owns the place.

    “Why are you here?” Buck blurts out before he can stop himself.

    Diaz doesn’t even glance at him. “Where’s the patient?” he repeats, addressing Bobby instead.

    Sure, Eddie Diaz is a surgeon. Fine. But this is their domain—firefighters saving lives in impossible situations—and Buck can’t shake the feeling that Diaz doesn’t trust them to handle it. The arrogance practically radiates off him, rubbing Buck raw with every calm, clipped instruction.

    or

    The one where Buck is a firefighter and Eddie is a trauma surgeon but they still manage to find their way to each other.

    Summary

    "Buck," Eddie repeats slowly, "I need you to breathe for me."

    "I have a daughter," Buck says, hands shaking. "I — I have to go to Hershey and —"

    "Okay," Eddie tells him, so calm when Buck is losing it. "Hey, look at me. It's going to be fine. I'll call Chim."

    "I'll get your plane tickets," Christopher decides, already up on his feet, ready to go to his room.

    Or fourteen years ago, Buck had a daughter with his ex-girlfriend. After she passes away, he learns about her existence, and learns to deal with what being a teenager's father means. Luckily for him, he can count on his 118 family.
