Summary
Most of the time he’s fine, most of the time it doesn’t really bother him, especially since he’s been able to ignore it most of his life. But becoming a first responder meant there was a little more interaction with those on the brink of death and those who succumb to it. It was harder to ignore when he was trying to save the people in the first place.
But he’s not good at this part, the moving on part. Maddie was the one who got the guidance from Grandma, who’d gotten the ‘special education’. Evan, meanwhile, had made the snap judgement to try and get some measure of approval from their mother and declared that he had no idea what they were talking about.
Not that it worked.
It was fine until Devon. Devon who Buck almost saved, Devon who was frozen in terror, Devon who had taken to haunting Buck.
---
Buck & Maddie can see spirits; not that Buck ever told anyone he could. As he settles more into firefighting, Buck's quickly realising that ignoring them isn't going to work anymore.Maybe he should've gotten the basics from Grandma after all; then again, he's always been good at winging it.

Summary
They both know this is it. That beyond this barren landscape, whatever they found here will cease to exist.
It was born here and it’ll die here, and Eddie will spend the rest of his life missing it, but he’s not allowed to take it with him. They have to bury it - dig six feet down and submerge it in the sun-scorched earth so she can remember it for them. So she can cradle it and keep it safe, where no one can ever touch it. Where no one can ever taint it.
(Buck and Eddie meet in Afghanistan. It changes everything.)

Summary
Romance is a lot easier to write about than it is to put into practice, and Eddie is the world’s most ridiculous living example of that. He can practically hear the kind of jokes that Shannon would make about it, if he ever told her about the books but - he didn’t. And somehow, probably just because he didn’t start writing until after they weren’t living together anymore, she never found out.
There’s actually only a handful of people in the world who know that Eddie is a writer - and more specifically, that he’s E. Diaz, one of the bestselling romance authors on the market.
or - the one where everything in canon is the same, except eddie diaz is secretly a bestselling romance author, and nobody knows. Yet.

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)
