    Summary

    He keeps reminding himself it’s not going to go anywhere, but if it’s a crime to appreciate his ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend’s gorgeous colleague’s face while he’s feeling extremely single before the holidays, then lock him up, your honour, and throw away the key.

    His brain might be telling him it’s all completely casual – he’s just being friendly with the 118 until Lucy announces the engagement’s off (and, hey, maybe he’ll get to keep a few of them in the break-up). But his brain doesn’t matter as far as his heart is concerned; when Eddie Diaz finally walks through the door of Ye Olde Bar just a little after 7, it almost beats out of his chest.
    __

    or, Buck finds himself fighting for his life when his ex-girlfriend-turned-best-friend Taylor asks him to pretend to be her girlfriend Lucy's fiancé while she's in the hospital after a freak bar accident, and the entire 118 show up too. It's all going (mostly) well until he accidentally falls in love with Lucy's colleague, a hot single dad firefighter named Eddie Diaz.
    __

    or, a Buddie retelling of the 1995 rom-com While You Were Sleeping, but Buck is Sandra Bullock, Eddie is Bill Pullman, and the 118 are the coma guy's family.

    Summary

    Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.

    “Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.

    Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”

    “Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

    Evan Buckley can’t look his best friend in the eye and tell him he failed, so he doesn’t. He stumbles around a drowning wasteland looking for the brightest little boy he’s ever known, and when he can’t find him, he just… keeps on walking.

    Summary

    "So why are you going to Texas?" Eddie gestured towards the big, lit up Christmas tree in the corner of the room. "So close to the holidays."

    "Work." Buck said easily.

    "What's work?"

    He rolled his lips and seemed to think the question over, "I guess you could say this is a volunteer trip. My actual job is working with reindeer."

    Eddie chuckled, "Reindeer?" He shook his head. "Like the type that fly?"

    "That's a specific breed." Buck winked. "Yeah, reindeer. I'm a specialist."

    "And you're volunteering in El Paso?"

    "Yeah," Buck shrugged and held up two fingers towards the hostess, gesturing for Eddie to step first after her and towards a table. "Everyone else thought it was a lost cause, but I've been a lost cause before too, so," He shrugged. "I figured why not?"

    "And what exactly is this lost cause?" Eddie asked after thanking the hostess and sitting down.

    Buck hummed, "Reuniting a family."

    Summary

    This summer has had some subversive effects on his very definition of what it means to want.

    He’s always been good at not wanting too much or too recklessly. But these days, it seems like he’s insatiable, wrought with hunger and pillaging to consume.

    Maybe, because this kind of wanting feels offensive—something he thought he’d snuffed out decades ago, made benign.

    He’s always been so good at beating it down, down, down into submission whenever it reared its ugly head; he had a handle on it.

    Now, it’s all gone to shit.

     

    or; Buck and Eddie have sex, Eddie freaks out. Wash, rinse, repeat.
