Summary
Evan Buckley was dropped on a fire station's front steps at one year old after he failed to save his brother. He was adopted seven years later by a firefighter after he almost burned down his group home. He joins the SEALs ten years later, and is crushed under an MV a year after that.
So when the man who saved his life is the desert is working with him at his dad's fire station, lying about his past might be harder than he thought.

Summary
Eddie bobs his head at an intense pace, his eyes big as his palm grips Buck’s wrist, warm and unsteady, “Well, we already did everything, what’s stopping us from doing it again?” Maybe he catches the apprehensive look in Buck’s eyes, because he’s quickly adding, “No strings attached. Just two best friends—”
The alpha stops there, like he’s unsure what to say, so Buck finishes the statement for him, “—helping each other out?”
Eddie watches him, glassy-eyed and pink as he rubs the inside of Buck’s wrist glands. “Yeah, all platonic.”

Summary
“Eddie, I’m in love with you,” he says, heart thrumming in his chest, in his throat, in his mouth. He feels hot and cold and dizzy by turns.
“What?” asks Eddie faintly, barely even a question.
“I’m in love with you,” Buck says again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to, but I am. I am.”
“You– Right, okay,” says Eddie, so visibly buffering that it makes Buck’s heart clench a little in his chest. Of course he’s in love with Eddie. How could he possibly have let himself pretend otherwise. “Wasn’t expecting this, bud,” says Eddie, and he sounds so shocked that Buck can’t help a wry smile. Of course Eddie’s surprised. They must be the only two people in existence who didn’t already know. “I– Buck, man, you know that I care about you, but…”
“I know,” he says gently to Eddie, because he did know, but that doesn't make this moment hurt any less.
---
Post season 8, Buck confesses his feelings, Eddie lets him down as gently as he can, and they both try to figure out how to be just friends.

Summary
Buck understood, he’d barely slept either, but that feeling of needing to fix everything was needling at him. He knew he couldn’t magically erase people’s grief. He couldn’t undo Bobby’s death, as much as he wished he could, but he could help. He could be there for Eddie, and Hen, and Ravi, and Chim, and Athena, if she’d let him. His family was important.
OR
A rewrite of 8x16 where Buck misunderstands Bobby's last words to him and focuses on helping his family without processing his own grief.
