    Summary

    This isn’t the first time something’s gone horribly, catastrophically wrong for Buck, but it’s okay. It’ll work out in the end. It always has so far.

    This is just a temporary setback. He pinkie promises.

     

    Or, Buck loses his leg, falls in love, and gets his job back. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    When Buck is a little older, if you ask him what love is, he will tell you that it’s catching his sister in his arms and holding her close as she gasps for air. He will tell you it’s the deep brown eyes of a friend he will fall in love with. He will tell you it’s being handed a flower by a little girl in a garden.

    He will tell you about his dead brother, and his dead captain that’s really like a dead father, and the grief he shoulders that never goes away, and you’ll be worried and scared and wonder if love is worth it in the end, and Evan Buckley will say –

    “That’s just love. Nothing you can do about that.”

    Love is a noun. Love is gravity, a whispered name between two people, a tattoo.

    Love is a verb. It’s having a meal together, a shared laugh in a crowded bar, a ghost in the bed you curl around. 

    It’s a garden you tend to. It’s a well loved flower. A plant with roots that reach deep into the earth. 

    “That’s just the way it is.”

    ***

    A story about Buck growing up, and learning what flowers mean.

    Summary

    Buck isn’t dead, he’s alive and he’s okay and he’s going to come back. Because if Buck’s gone, if Buck isn’t coming back and he’s leaving them all to live without him, then how will they keep going? How will the earth keep spinning? How will there still be tomorrow?

    How will Eddie survive?

    But it happened. And Eddie couldn’t stop it. He couldn’t save him, he couldn’t do anything except feel Buck’s pulse.

    Buck is dea–

    Eddie takes in one shuddering gasp, and stares back up at the night’s sky and lets out the hollow pain that took over him the moment Buck’s limp hand was pulled from his.

    He screams Buck’s name so fearfully, so brutally, so inconsolably, that the universe has no choice but to stop and listen.

    ***

    Eddie's love transcends time and space, goes beyond the boundaries of the universe, and he finds Buck. He will always find Buck.

    And he'll save him, too.

    Summary

    “Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.

    “Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”

    ***

    When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was intimately familiar with death. It hung in the air around him, lived under his skin.
    It was the reason he'd been born in the first place.
    Maybe it had seemed like some awful cosmic joke to his parents when they'd found out the source of his magic. It could have been anything.
    It just had to be death.

    Eddie Diaz doesn't know how to be a werewolf.
    Which is unfortunate, given he's been one all his life. He brought his son to LA to get away from it all, but he couldn't run from what he was.

    Or:
    Death Mage Buck and Werewolf Eddie find one another at the 118.
