    Summary

    "It's always the kitchen, huh," Eddie says after taking a swig off his beer and pulls a chair out to sit.

    Buck leans against a counter facing Eddie. "What?"

    "Our serious talks," Eddie elaborates. "They always happen in one of our kitchens. mostly mine, but still."

    Buck arches a brow, his fingers tightening around the cold beer bottle in his hand.

    "Is that what we're doing? having a serious talk?" Are you going to grab my shoulder and point an accusatory finger at me again?

    Eddie's beer bottle clanks aggainst the table as he puts it down and lets out a sigh.

    "It's what I came here to do."

    Summary

    For a moment, Eddie is quiet.

    He stares. Blinks. Stares some more, his mouth opening and closing around nothing.

    And then all at once, he zeroes in on the photo collage across the room, and his body goes completely still.

    They’re all couples. Happy, blissful, newly married couples, still in their suits and long white dresses, holding each other close beneath the familiar branches of a willow tree. The same branches billowing in the wind outside Eddie’s bedroom window.

    A wedding venue. He woke up in a wedding venue.

    His wedding venue.

    or: Eddie wakes up on the morning of his and Buck’s wedding. Except, Eddie is straight, and him and Buck aren’t together.

    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.

    Quite angsty in the beginning. I'll be up for a re-read after a while

    Summary

    Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.

    The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.

    Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.

    -----

    In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

    Summary

    “My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”

    Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.

    “She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.

    ----

    Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.
