    Summary

    Moving to LA and joining the LAFD, Eddie had planned to keep his head down. His only plan was to get through his shifts, take care of his son, and figure out this whole "single dad" gig for the sake of his little boy. He didn't plan to focus all that much on making new friends. He certainly didn't plan to keep date-crashing Carla's handsome teacher-friend with the birthmark just over his eye.

    ~~~

    Eddie barely has time to start the car before Chris is asking, "Dad, did you know dinosaurs had feathers?"

    Eddie chuckles, setting the radio to a nineties station on low volume, "I did not know that, bud."

    "It's true! Buck told me!" But with Chris's youthful lisp the name was still pronounced like "Duck."

    "Oh, well if Buck said so it must be true," Eddie snorts.

    "Hey," Buck gave Eddie a light smack on his shoulder, "I'll have you know I'm a trusted source for information."

    Eddie can't help but smirk back, "And with you saying so, it must be true."

    Summary

    When Maddie showed up at the one-eighteen covered in bruises and needing a place to stay, Buck didn't hesitate to let her into his home and the new life he had created in L.A. While he was happy to have his sister back, he was tired of insisting to her that he wasn't as lonely as she accused him of being. So when she assumes he's in some secret relationship with his coworker and best friend, Eddie, Buck decides it couldn't hurt to tell a little white lie, especially when it meant his sister could focus on something that wasn't her own past.

    Now Buck is stuck trying to navigate through a ruse of his own creation while dealing with newfound feelings for his best friend that seemed to sneak up on him.

    Oh, and did he mention the mysterious accelerant that kept finding itself in his path, putting everyone he loves in danger?

    Summary

    “You had sex with Tommy in my house, in my room,” Eddie spits. “I think I’m allowed to be pissed.”
    “No,” Buck growls. “You don’t get to do this, Eddie. It wasn’t your house anymore, it wasn’t your room, it was mine because you left!” He clenches his fist, his own anger taking over. “You left me.”
    “I had to go to Christopher,” Eddie crosses his arms over his chest, eyes so cold Buck shivers. “You know that.”
    “I’m not talking about Texas and you know it,” Buck argues. “You lost the right to judge whom I have sex with six years ago, when you broke up with me.”

    Or Buck and Eddie went on two dates six years ago, they fight about it because Eddie's jealous of Tommy

    Summary

    “What the fuck, Buck. Look at us! We don’t do this, man. You can’t just up and leave after things get hard!” Eddie wasn’t sure how to stop being angry, how to not put everything on Buck, but his best friend leaving sure wasn’t helping.

    “Oh, but you can?” Buck snarled and Eddie looked at him in disbelief.

    “You…No. We’ve been over this. I know that you don’t think that I…” Eddie was lost for words but Buck quickly started speaking instead.

    “That you what, Eddie? That you didn’t leave? That you haven’t changed? That we haven’t changed? Because we sure as hell did. And El Paso wasn’t the first time you did it. It is your fucking thing."

    Or

    In the midst of their grief, Buck and Eddie fell out of their usual rhythm and went into two completely different directions. After a fight that took way too much from both of them and after the news that Eddie and Chris were staying in LA, Buck decided to move out and leave this thing between him and Eddie behind.

    Or

    Buck and Eddie have another divorce era right after the events of s8e17. We ignore everything that happened after that episode. Chris is a sweetheart, Maddie Buckley-Han is amazing and Tommy is only here as a plot device.
