Summary
“Holy shit, you’re Buck Buckley!”
Buck glanced at Eddie before looking back at Eddie’s partner. “Yeah?”
The man turned to Eddie in dismay, slapping him frantically on the shoulder. “Edmundo Diaz, you didn’t tell me you were dating Buck Buckley!!”
“Chim,” Eddie sighed, though Buck watched as his face flushed at the attention. It was adorable. Buck wanted to kiss him, see if he tasted different when his face was all warm. “Not the time.”
“Seems like the time,” Chim (?) countered. “We’re here, nothing’s on fire.” He looked back up at Buck. “Nothing’s on fire, right?”
Or an accidental kitchen fire unexpectedly throws Buck, Maddie, Eddie, and Chimney together for the first time.

“How do you not know about this?” Maddie asked, still confused. “You always know everything.”
“Yes, but he has terrible luck in relationships,” Chim teased. “Buck’s never had to worry about being a couple on Valentine’s before.”
“Rude. A killer would love to try and murder me, I bet.”
“Asking you again to think before you speak, Buck,” Maddie sighed.
Or there's a serial killer targeting couples in LA on Valentine's Day but Buck's more worried about the new guy at work.

Summary
“My Diaz boys!” Buck’s cheery voice came over the speaker. “I’m so happy you called! I hear we need to indulge in some Bake Off.”
“Definitely,” Chris nodded, not that Buck could see him. “Dad got hurt at work last night so we need to cheer him up.”
That wasn’t exactly how Eddie had wanted to inform Buck of his injury, especially when he heard the sharp intake of breath on the other end of the line, but that was the gamble you took when your kid was in the conversation.
“I’m fine,” Eddie promised. “Just a little sore.”
“His arm’s in a sling and he bonked his head!” Chris added cheerfully.
“I see,” Buck replied as neutrally as possible.
Or After weeks of texting, calls, and long distance Bake Off viewings, Eddie and Buck attempt a first date.

Summary
“Daddy, did you see that?!” Chris would ask excitedly from the couch, pointing at the television where big, hulking men skated around with a grace Eddie would never understand in a million lifetimes. “The other guy was offside but then Buck got the puck and he just scored a goal!”
"Wow, bud!” Eddie had no idea what offside was but Buck was Chris’s favorite player and goal was universal. “Good for him!”
“Buck is the coolest,” Chris sighed. “I want to be just like him when I grow up."
Which, you know, Eddie had thought being a firefighter was pretty cool but apparently it had nothing on a hockey player. Whatever.
Or Eddie Diaz takes his hockey super fan son to a game and while the crowd falls in love with Chris, Eddie finally notices Chris's favorite player, Evan "Buck" Buckley.

Summary
When Eddie gets a phone call from his son's science teacher about reasonable accommodations it sets off a series of events that turn his life completely upside down.
"I should probably get going," Buck says. "It's a school night after all."
Eddie appreciates this devotion to duty, but at the same time he's a little disappointed. He's repaid Buck's favor so now there's no need for them to see each other except on parent teacher night. But he doesn't want that. It's been a handful of hours and the thought of Buck never coming by again already seems impossible. "Look," he says, letting the words come out of his mouth before he can overthink them back in again. "I don't know about you, but making friends when you're a single dad with an insane job is hard. I have your number. Is it okay if I use it for non-school purposes?"
Buck's insta-smile is so bright it's practically blinding. "I would love that."

Summary
“I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.
Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”
“Buck, I—”
“She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”
-----
A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

Summary
The AU where Bobby adopted Evan when he was six years old, and then twenty years later Eddie joins the 118 and starts dating Buck... and no one initially realises that Evan and Buck are, in fact, the same person. Part 1 is the story of the identity shenanigans and the reveal.
Part 3 is a collection of missing scenes from the original story, while Parts 4 ('how it could have gone') and 5 ('another way it could have gone') are outtakes and depict two different scenarios where the reveal of Buck and Evan being the same person go a different way.
Part 2 'oh captain my captain' is a prequel and shows the 118 meeting Bobby and then later on Evan.
Part 6 'these are the days we've been waiting for' is the story of Buck's first day at the 118.
Part 7 'may you live in interesting times' is a sequel to that takes place about a year or so later, and Part 8 'I once was lost (but now I'm found)' directly follows on and is a full-length sequel and prequel to the main story.
This series as it is now is standalone and can be considered complete. The only reason I haven't marked it as such is because I do expect to be adding additional installments at some point in the future. Happy reading!
