Summary
Eddie Diaz.
Ghosting bastard. Shirtless menace. Walking thirst trap.
Looks him dead in the eye and says “nice to meet you” like Buck doesn’t have the receipts. Like they didn’t match. Flirt. Make plans.
Like Buck didn’t get stood up in public, drink in hand, heart in pieces. -

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:

Summary
They’re halfway through the quarter, October’s end is rapidly approaching, and it’s easier than Buck expected to get people in the department to think they don’t like each other. Most of the time they just don’t talk or look at each other. Other times they bicker over the littlest things, Eddie usually defaults to saying he doesn’t care for birds, and Buck finds one of Eddie’s favorite theorists to shit talk. It’s fun, there’s a thrill in the debrief on the way home after Buck picks Eddie up a little ways away from the department, and he loves watching the looks other faculty give them in meetings like they’re on the edge of their seats waiting for something to happen.
(or: 5 times Buck and Eddie convinced everyone they're academic rivals +1 time everyone found out they were married)

Summary
“I dare you,” Chim repeats, “at the end of the night leave with the phone number of the hottest person who is here tonight. And if you don’t, you owe me 20 dollars.”
Buck seems to consider the dare for the whole two seconds. His smile is a little crooked and his eyes are shining with mischief. “Sure, but if I do, you owe me twenty dollars.”
Eddie knows he lives in the hell of his own making.

Summary
“I’m uh—” Buck breaks the silence, glancing up as the rain starts to ease enough that he doesn’t have to raise his voice so much. “I’m Buck, by the way.”
The guy glances upward, a smile tugging at his lips. “Buck? Like the deer?”
“Buck like Buckley. My last name. It’s … my first name is Evan, but there were three in my class at the academy, y’know? So. Buck.”
Hot guy lifts his hand and holds it out for Buck to shake. “Eddie.”
Buck shakes it for what he thinks is a totally normal amount of time before dropping the hand. The warmth of Eddie’s skin lingers on his own.
“Thanks again. I’m headed to my niece's party. It’s her birthday. I’m–” He lifts his hand, glancing down at his watch. “Jesus, already like thirty minutes late. And I made the cake. And–” He leans his back against the car, grimacing. “And I-I kinda forgot to set my alarm and my apartment flooded, I just–”
He swallows thickly, sighing. “It’s kinda been a shit day. You’re saving my ass here.”
Eddie pauses unscrewing a lug nut to study Buck’s face. “It’s not a big deal, Buck. I promise.” A beat passes. “Hold your hand out for me?”
OR
Buck has a Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Then he meets Eddie.

Summary
“You want to take me on a weekend getaway… to a winery… for Valentine’s weekend?” Eddie clarifies, his mind spinning as he thinks of a weekend away with Buck, just the two of them.
“I got the weekend deal for free, Eddie! We have to go.”
“But” Eddie protests. “It’s meant for couples,” he says cautiously.
“C’mon Eddie, that just means we’ll get spoiled to extra wine and deserts and maybe be upgraded to a nicer room with a complimentary bottle of champagne,” Buck argues.
Buck is looking at him with so much hope as he waits for Eddie’s response, and Eddie is powerless against those blue eyes. What’s the harm in pretending for a weekend?
or
Buck and Eddie take a platonic trip to a winery and everyone assumes they're a couple. Eddie pines.

Summary
“Finally, we’ve got a special guest joining us for the next six weeks. As you should all be aware, Chimney recently signed up for the LAFD/LFB exchange programme. He will be spending the next six weeks in England seeing how they do things over there, meanwhile, we have one of London Fire Brigade’s finest joining us. I'm sure he’ll have lots of questions so please help him out. I expect you all to make him feel welcome."
“Uh Cap?” Hen’s the one to ask which is great because Eddie’s coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, “Does this Brit have a name?”
Bobby frowns and retrieves his clipboard to peer at the name he has scrawled at the bottom of the sheet. “Evan Buckley. Send him my way if you see him, won’t you?”
--- Or Buck is British, and Eddie has a big fat crush on him even though he knows he's only around for six weeks. ---

Summary
Eddie sighed, turning back to Christopher. “Mijo, look,” he deadpanned, pointing to the guy. “The Tooth Fairy decided to sit next to us.”
“You’re the Tooth Fairy?” Christopher asked, looking at him like he was Santa Claus and a superhero all rolled into one.
“Of course,” the man said, straightening up and puffing out his chest a little. “But you can call me Buck.”OR: Christopher loses his first tooth on a plane to LA, and a random stranger is there to save the day.

Summary
The table was crowded, everyone digging in, conversations overlapping. Eddie and Hen were arguing about some documentary, Chim was telling Ravi a ridiculous story from before his probationary days, and Buck was half-listening to all of it, happily stuffing his face.
"Buck, pass the salt?" Bobby asked, not looking up from his plate.
Without thinking, Buck grabbed it and handed it over. "Here you go, Dad."
--
Or, exactly what it says on the tin - 5 times Buck called Bobby his dad + 1 time Bobby called himself Buck's dad -

Summary
The first time it happens, it’s Tommy’s fault. Maybe that’s unfair, all things considered, but Eddie certainly isn’t going to blame Buck for it. And Eddie’s single, so it can’t be his fault. But Tommy sent Buck a dick pic while Buck was at Eddie’s house, so Eddie feels justified in blaming Tommy for everything that happened after.
***
Or, five times Buck cheats on Tommy with Eddie, and one time he doesn't.

Summary
“500$. And a month of free babysitting. You: Jee, me: Christopher.” Maddie said, sticking her hand out for him and Buck smiled, reaching forward and grabbing it tightly.
“Deal. Prepare to eat your words, Madeline.”
“Not my name, Evan.” And they shook hands.
~~~
Maddie and Buck find an old bet they made when they were kids, talking about how whoever got married last, had to give the winner a prize.
They change the rules some, and mild chaos ensues.
Oh, and Buck realises he's in love with his best friend halfway through.

Summary
On the phone, Eddie starts speaking again, his voice soft and warm. “Buck, I don’t know how, but you always know exactly—”
He’s still speaking as Ravi leans down, picks up the remote, and hands it to Buck.
Buck manages to look away from the phone—from Eddie—for long enough to grin thankfully at Ravi and instinctively say, “Thanks, honey.”
Eddie stops, mid-sentence. Just… stops.
-
OR: Buck decides Ravi needs a new nickname. Eddie loses his mind over it.

Summary
Hen sighs. “Something had to be said before you idiots put us in mortal peril.”
“I’d never do anything to jeopardize our safety on a job! You know that Hen.”
“Maybe not on purpose,” Chim chimes in, “but, see, the thing is, when you flirt with our Buck, his brain turns off. He just bluescreens.”
“You’re flustering the poor boy, Eddie,” Hen adds. “And it’s making him dumb.”
“-er,” Chim adds.
“Wha- Buck isn’t flustered.”
Eddie is flustered. His face feels hot. He takes another sip of his coffee to give his hands something do to, but that only makes him feel warmer. Shit.
Hen levels him with the most deadpan look. “Last week he walked into a stop sign after you called him ‘big boy’ on a call.”
Eddie nearly spits out his coffee.
Or: the one where Eddie subconsciously flirts with Buck without realizing and Buck is actively trying not to have a heart attack at work about it

Summary
Buck needs to know what’s in that box.
“Oh no. I know that face,” Eddie sighs. “You’re about to become weird about this, aren’t you?”
“Aren’t you curious about what’s in the box Eddie??”
“Not curious enough to get stabbed.”
Buck ponders the downsides of getting stabbed versus getting answers.
“Buck.”
“No, I know! I know!” he concedes. “I, Even Buck Buckley, promise not to get myself stabbed in the noble pursuit of knowledge.”
meanwhile...
Wife City 💅
Eddie: How do I get Buck to look at me disrespectfully?

“Youdidntlookexcitedtoseeme,” Eddie mumbles in one unhappy breath.
Buck chuckles. “What was that?”
Eddie huffs. “You,” he says pointedly, poking a finger into Buck’s chest. “Didn’t look excited,” he emphasizes. “To see me.”
Or, sometimes, Eddie likes to be a tiny bit dramatic. Just sometimes. Just as a treat. It's Buck's favorite thing.

Summary
He’s not jealous. He’s not, because that would be ridiculous. Buck is still his best friend and he’s at the Diaz household at least five out of seven nights of the week. He is still a very permanent fixture of their lives, helping Christopher with his homework and making dinner for them and driving them around town in Eddie’s truck. Eddie has nothing to be jealous of.
Now if only Eddie’s brain could get with the program.
--
Or, after returning to the 118, Eddie becomes a full-time paramedic and Ravi becomes Buck's partner. Eddie absolutely doesn't feel anything about that, not at all. -

Summary
“I really shouldn’t do this over the phone—on a fucking voicemail, of all things, but I—”
Eddie breaks off with a choked noise. He’s sitting in the parking lot of Trader Joe’s, for Christ’s sake. Peak of romance, Diaz, he thinks, and then laughs. Buck deserves so much better than this. Then him. But Frank said be brave, and Eddie is—really, really fucking trying.
“But I love you. I’m in love with you. And I want you to come home.”
or, seven conversations eddie has over the phone and one he has in person. -

Summary
Eddie came for him.
Even if it was his job and he had no way of knowing Buck was in the tree, it still felt like fate that Eddie was the one who rescued him.
“My, nigh’ in’ armour,” Buck slurs out. “‘Lways saven me.”
“I’d always save you, Buck,” Eddie whispers honestly, his hand coming up to cup the back of Buck’s neck and redirects his head so their eyes are meeting.
“Always.”

Or the one where Buck isn't a firefighter but he is just as accident and danger prone, causing a lot of funny and sometimes sad incidents. These are the different times Eddie and his team have to help him and then one time Buck helps Eddie.

Summary
“I think,” he says, watching Karen pull Hen out onto the dance floor, their eyes never leaving each other’s, “I think I’m just—sad.”
Maybe. That feels like a close enough word to describe this gaping maw right in the center of his chest. It’s only really there sometimes, taking little bites out of him, easy enough to ignore, but today is worse.
“About being single at a wedding,” Eddie says, not a question.
Buck shrugs. “Sounds stupid when you put it that way.”
or, the one with the four weddings (feat. a drunk karen wilson, shania twain, a single cheerio, and some confessions over cubed fruit).

Summary
Buck is at a loss, so he calls Maddie. He forgets that it’s 3 am, so he apologizes for a solid two minutes before she cuts him off and asks what’s wrong.
“Eddie… told me we were getting married.”
The silence is damning.
“…You wanna run that by me again?"
---
Or: When Taylor tells Buck she loves him, Buck tells Eddie about it. And Eddie? Well, he goes right for the jugular.
