Summary
When Buck falls from a parking structure during a high-stakes rescue, Eddie is left to grapple with the sudden, crushing loss of the one person he never fully understood he loved. Stranded in El Paso with only Chris for company, Eddie finds himself unable to reach anyone from the 118—Bobby, Hen, Chim, Maddie—all of them silent, leaving him to face the weight of Buck’s death alone.

Summary
Before Eddie can think of any more excuses, Buck bursts back through the surface of the water with Eddie’s body in his arms.
Eddie looks down at himself, still kneeling on the dock, and then at what is unmistakably also him in the water. Buck sucks in a great gasp of air, but the Eddie in the water doesn’t. His head slumps limp onto Buck’s shoulder, and the puzzle pieces of the last few minutes suddenly fall into place.
Finding himself back on the dock with no memory of how he got there. Buck unable to see or hear him. Eddie’s hand passing right through him.
Oh. He didn’t make it out of the water. He drowned.
***
After an injury on a call, Eddie finds himself something he never expected to be...
A ghost.

_________________________________________________________________________________________"How've you been?" Buck asked.
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that, Mr. Coma?” Eddie retorted with a snort, the gentle teasing easing the tension from Buck’s shoulders.
“Well, I’m the one that has to play catch-up,” he reminded his best friend.
Eddie frowned slightly at that and it was as he reached up to fiddle slightly with the St. Christopher medallion - something that had always been a nervous tick of his - that Buck noticed it.
A gleam of silver wrapped around his finger, shining in the sunlight that came in through the window of Buck’s hospital room.
A ring.
_________________________________________________________________________________________Buck spends three years in a coma after getting struck by lightning and wakes up to find the world has moved on without him, including the love of his life.

As bills pile up, the best move is for them to get married, just for convenience, they’ll divorce when Eddie comes back from his re-enlistment.

However, Buck doesn’t mention his ‘husband’ and kid, not feeling like they’re his to keep. When Eddie gets the offer from Bobby, they decide to lie and pretend they don’t know each other, so they can work together.
The whole lie gets out of hand as feelings start to become real, until it all comes to a head in the aftermath of the fire engine explosion.
AKA: Secret marriage of convenience buddie slow burn AU, where Buck and Eddie have been married for years so Buck could adopt Chris and no one at the 118 knows.
