Summary
Buck's plan for the evening is simple: eat calzones with Eddie, pretend he's not in love with his best friend, and absolutely never think about one desperate night he hooked up with Tommy in Eddie's house, and the conversation they had the morning after in Eddie's kitchen while Eddie was in El Paso.
Then Eddie mentions a missed call. And a voicemail. And a text from Tommy asking if Eddie thinks he's "competition."
Before Buck can spiral, Eddie holds out his hand for Buck's phone, finds Tommy's still-blocked number, and calls him back himself. What follows is ten minutes of calm, surgical destruction: Eddie dismantling Tommy's ego, burning every bridge, and saying things like "You call that competition? You were never in the fucking race," and "I left him behind and he was still fucking mine."
Buck's pressed against the corner of the kitchen, half-hard and fully in shock, because they aren't even dating.
Yet.

Summary
Dear Captain Nash,
I know this email is kind of out of the blue, but I didn’t know who else to reach out to. I’m not even sure how to start this email. One time Buck and I signed up for this pen pal program, but the kid in Maine I was writing with gave up after two rounds of letters. It was during my ancient Egypt phase and I think I scared him off with my questions about mummies. Buck told me I was too cool for him anyway.
or
When Chris starts going to church in Texas he reaches out to the only person he can think of who might have some answers, meanwhile Eddie uses his email to try and talk to God, and Buck... well Buck online shops mostly.
A season 8 rewrite told only through email.

Summary
“LA Dispatch to Engine 118, be advised–”
Eddie’s head snaps up.
Maddie. Dispatch cadence – clean, clipped, controlled.
Chimney’s eyes flick to the radio, then to Eddie, before he answers.
“118, go ahead.”
Maddie continues, steady as a metronome.
“We have a reported MVC on the Fletcher Drive Bridge, repeat: multiple-vehicle collision. Units en route have visual confirmation of two cars at the scene.”
Eddie’s pulse stutters. He leans forward without meaning to, the seatbelt tugging tight across his chest.
Maddie keeps going, all professionalism, no tremor, until she hits the words that break.
“One of the vehicles is… a Jeep that went over the railing into the water.”
orThe Jeep nde you didn’t know you needed.

Summary
“I got this thing,” Eddie says, catching him in his tracks.
“Thing?”
He turns fully toward Eddie, because if Eddie’s gonna drop something on him, Buck’s going to look directly at it. No mercy.Eddie blinks – once, twice – the only crack in his cool.
“A while back, an army buddy invited me to his wedding. Figured by the time it rolled around, I’d… have someone.” He breathes out through his nose. “So I put down a plus one.”
Buck loses it a little. Not out loud, not dramatically. Just this bright grin that won’t quit.
“The wedding’s Saturday. If you don’t have plans… you wanna come with me?”
Buck’s smile falters. His chest does this weird, traitorous flutter he absolutely did not authorize.
“Yeah,” he blurts, fast enough to shut down whatever escape hatch Eddie’s about to open. “Yes. Sure. I mean– yeah.”
The one where Eddie invites Buck as his plus one to his buddy’s wedding, and it’s all fun and games…until it absolutely isn’t.

What if Eddie attended the fire academy in El Paso instead of Texas? What if his parents took a more serious approach after their last discussion of Eddie giving Chris to them?
AKA, the Diaz parents make moves to sue for custody, and the rest of the Diaz family closes ranks around our boys.
