Summary
He squeezes his fingers around the fabric of Eddie’s sweater, on his back, trying to comfort him, while his chin rests on Eddie’s shoulder, and it probably makes a coward of Eddie but he finds a bit of strength from not having to actually face Buck, from being wrapped up in his arms.
He closes his eyes too, for good measure, and takes a full, deep breath in, inhaling Buck’s scent. “Don’t go back to Tommy, he doesn’t deserve you, you deserve better,” he slurs against Buck’s chest, where he stays hidden, like the coward he established he is. “And I– I want you, if– if–”
OR: Eddie realizes he’s gay, begs Buck to stop baking and gets a birthday cake and a boyfriend in one night

Summary
He can feel Chris shaking, but he's holding tightly to Buck's shoulders and if he's crying he's doing it silently, Buck just runs a hand over his curls, cupping the back of his head and pressing a kiss to Chris' forehead.
Whatever happens, he's not letting Chris get hurt.

Summary
“9-1-1, what’s your emergency?” he knows that voice instantly, and while it loosens some of the dread in his gut, it still spikes his anxiety. He’d rather it wasn’t Maddie on the line with him, just as much as he’s thankful to hear her voice.
“Hey, Mads.” His voice is strained, a little shaky from the pain, but he’s sure she hears him from the intake of breath. “I’m kinda—I’m stuck. My radio is—I can’t reach it.” He hears Maddie take a breath, steadying herself on the other end of the line.
“Okay, Firefighter Buckley,” ah, they’re going for professional detachment, “I’ll patch through 118, try and stay on the line.” It’s not like he’s going to go anywhere.
---
Buck is pinned during a collapse, his radio busted and the only option is calling 911 himself; getting his sister is ideal and it isn't, now it's on Maddie to keep Buck calm and focused while the 118 work to dig their man out of the collapse.Day 1 of Buckley Sibling Week!

Summary
It’s not until the earthquake that Eddie figures it out.
Hen grabs him from the trolley, hauling him to his feet and clambering out into the open, Chimney appears by their sides with a quick yell of, “Where’s Cap?” as more firefighters join them outside, glancing around to check on each other, the fogging from the oxygen tank leaks makes it harder to see into the station right as Buck and Cap stumble out.
Buck is similarly checking Cap out, grabbing at his elbow, where there’s a small streak of blood. “Hen!”
What Eddie’s most surprised by is Buck sticking to Nash’s side, the hand that Nash keeps on Buck’s shoulder, and then it clicks.
He’d be the same if Chris was there; probably a little more overbearing, but Chris is only seven, so he figures that’d be why. But it makes sense, how focused on Buck that Nash is right then, the similar frantic energy that Buck’s got focusing on the Captain. He’s a little surprised that the LAFD allow a father and son pair to work together.

Summary
“Hello?” They’re on a down swing right now, chores finished up, most of them starting to unwind.
“Hello, this is Sarah Hill from LA Community General, is this Eddie Diaz?”
“It is, is Buck okay?” Because that’s where Buck is, that’s the hospital where—
“I’m afraid Mr Buckley suffered a pulmonary embolism approximately fifteen minutes ago,” her voice is far too cheerful to be giving the news that Buck choked and died in his hospital room, although Eddie still feels the blood draining from his face, flashing back to that stunned expression on Buck’s face as blood spilled from his mouth.

Summary
Above him, Eddie makes a sleepy sound, tightening his arms around Buck’s chest. “Buck?” he mumbles. “You up?”
Buck lets out a long breath, settling gratefully into Eddie’s hold. “Yeah,” he says quietly.
There must be something in his voice, because Eddie frowns down at him, lifting a hand to stroke over his cheekbone. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Buck says, and actually means it. He presses his face to Eddie’s sternum, feels his pulse against his skin, and breathes. “Nothing. I just—I had a dream that you were mad at me.”

buck and eddie are finally together, and everything is perfect. except, well—buck’s been having dreams.

Summary
There’s a joke in here somewhere, probably. If he could figure out how to word it right. Hey, so we’ve both been broken up for a while—those Army days, man, shit gets lonely—
So, a widower walks into a bar, and he hasn’t been held by someone he loves in years.
So, the last time I was close to you, really close to you, I was restarting your heart. Isn’t that funny? We can laugh, right? You can laugh. It’s funny.
Jesus Christ.
Eddie rolls over in his empty bed, mashes his face back into his pillow, and forces himself to fall asleep.

Summary
“Can we talk later? Eddie’s son is missing.”
“Well, about that…” Margaret is looking at Chris, like he somehow knows how to break the news. Chris shakes his head. He didn’t want to call any of them in the first place; she can figure it out.
“About – about what?”
“Is someone missing if you know where they are?”
“Do- do you know where Chris is?” Buck’s voice is raised in bewilderment and hope. There’s a clear ‘what!’ in the background, followed by shushing noises.
“I can probably do you one better?”
“Are you – are you telling me that Chris is in Pennsylvania?” Buck is speaking very slowly and very clearly, so different from his usual fast paced ramble. “In Hershey? How did he get there?”
--
Chris fixates about what Buck shared during their conversation before he left for El Paso. Seeing similarities between his situation and Buck’s, he runs off to Hershey to learn more about Buck’s past, and hopefully get some answers for his future.- Language:

Summary
“Ali, hey, what’s up?” He hasn’t heard from her since she left LA right after breaking-up with him. He had known it was coming from the day he’d been released from the hospital, he supposes if he’s thankful for anything it’s that she at least waited until he could work out how to mostly cope on his own before she split.
“Can you come to Cedars Sinai?” There’s nothing else in the call, Ali sounding tired but not scared or hurt.
“Are you okay?” He’s already turning towards the stairs to jog down them, ignoring the mild twinge in his leg as he picks up speed. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
---
Following the arbitration meeting, Ali drops a bombshell in Buck's lap. Now he has to navigate the future with no job, no support and a newborn baby.It's just as well he's got more friends and family than he realised.

Summary
When a friend from the academy invites Eddie to his wedding—and assumes Buck is his husband—Eddie asks Buck to go with him for the destination wedding weekend. He puts off telling everyone the truth. Maybe because he’s a coward. Maybe because he likes the idea of Buck being his husband. But the truth has a way of coming to light, and this trip is about to get more complicated than Eddie expected.

Summary
Christopher thrusts his empty wrapper at Buck, then stares expectantly at him until Buck finishes his own ice cream. Buck tries hard not to laugh. Christopher is eager to continue their tour of the zoo, even though this isn’t their first or dozenth time here, and Buck appreciates the little boy’s enthusiasm, loves that it hasn’t dimmed no matter how many times he sees the same animals. Buck could do with looking at the world with the same childlike wonder, instead of stressing and worrying about worse-case scenarios. It’s the nature of the job, he knows, but maybe he should take some lessons from Christopher.
“Ready to go, kid?” he asks, biting back a smile at Christopher’s put-upon sigh.
“Yes!” He jumps off the bench, then sighs when Buck pulls him between his knees to attack him with a napkin. He has chocolate smeared all over his face. “Buck,” he whines, fidgeting and huffing impatiently.
“Okay, okay. Hold your horses.”
“I don’t have any horses.” His little nose scrunches, and Buck laughs. “Come on! Tigers next, Buck!”
Ruffling Christopher’s messy curls, Buck stands and hands Christopher his crutches. “All right, Superman. Lead the way.”

Summary
Eddie kisses him in the kitchen.
Bright morning sunshine spills in the window over the sink, picking out the golden flecks in Eddie’s eyes. He cradles Buck’s jaw with one warm palm, and Buck freezes for a moment, startled, before surging against Eddie. He’s still holding a hot mug of coffee that he barely fumbles onto the counter without dropping or spilling all over his shirt.
He rakes his fingers into Eddie’s hair and reels him in closer, Eddie’s firm thigh slotted between his.
“Eddie,” he pants as Eddie scrapes his teeth down his throat and sucks on the spot over his racing pulse.
Eddie hums as he rucks Buck’s t-shirt up and splays his hand over his back, hot like a brand on his bare skin. Buck gasps, which Eddie swallows in another heated kiss, licking into Buck’s mouth and doing his best to scatter all of Buck’s thoughts.OR Buck and Eddie are FWB, act like boyfriends, and are suuuuper dumb and oblivious about everything.

Summary
Eddie honestly can’t believe he lied that easily to a priest. Well, yes he can because he’s been lying to himself since he was 8. Lying so much that he’s repressed a huge part of himself.
“No offense, I’m straight.” He mumbles to himself in the mirror. “And the sky is pink.”
Buck and Eddie get together and Christopher has some feelings about it.

Summary
When the wound of Chris leaving was super fresh, Eddie tried to isolate himself, whipping every excuse into the air to be alone but Buck would invite himself to come over anyway. He eventually just let Buck hang out with him without the back and forth. Sometimes, he would try to get Eddie to leave the house; pester him to go on a walk with him, go out for a bite, or just for a drive. Don’t push too hard, he’ll resent you, a voice whispers to him. But it was the thought of Eddie sitting in an empty home, sad and lonely and guilt-ridden, it made him sick to his stomach.
Honestly, Buck just really wants to help.

Summary
Buck’s never been wanted, not really. That’s the truth of his existence, at the end of the day. Born as a saviour only to fail. Neglected by his parents, left by his sister, the only person to make life worth it back then. When he finally, finally decided enough was enough and ran away from home, he thought, stupidly, that being the one to do the leaving might mean that he’d stop being doomed.
It doesn’t. Because now Eddie’s leaving. And it’s worse. It’s so much worse, infinitely worse, in ways Buck can’t quite comprehend. If Tommy leaving was a blow to his self esteem, Eddie leaving – it’s nothing short of an atomic bomb, leaving nothing but dead plants, rotting carcasses and devastation in its wake.------
