    Summary

    He knows he could have called Maddie and she would have been there, though the memory of her disappointment last time stopped him. As for everyone else—even if he weren’t prohibited from talking to them by his lawyer, Buck doubts anyone would have come. The last time they talked was when they ran into each other in the grocery store a week back, and, since Buck is not eager for a repeat of that interaction, he doesn’t even consider calling anyone in to hold his hand for what is, he tells himself, probably just another little blip on his road back to the 118.

    He is able to convince himself of this up until the moment Dr. Gutierrez walks into his room and says, “Well, Evan, you just can’t seem to do anything the easy way, can you?”

    Because, as it turns out, there is a circumstance under which a tiny clot that doesn’t cause you to vomit blood in front of all of your friends and family is worse than three big ones that do: that circumstance is called ‘being on blood thinners.’
    ***
    In the midst of the lawsuit, Buck is diagnosed with cancer. Dropping the lawsuit is easy. Finding forgiveness, less so.

    Summary

    Buck gains a baby, loses his boyfriend, and moves in with his best friend. In that order.

    -

    "You're moving in with Eddie?"

    "He offered," Buck says defensively. "Sometimes, a two parent household can consist of two single dads. Just like on Full House."

    "That is not what that show was about."

    "Sure, because they had three dads."

    Bobby makes a face and, sure, Buck isn't really old enough to have internalized a lot of Full House but Maddie loved explaining it to him. It's possible that he might have gotten it wrong.

    Summary

    The birthmark is technically an imperfection. Buck is full of those but this one is visible and prominent; having it ignored or ridiculed hurts in the same way. The only thing he wants—the only thing he’s ever wanted—is for someone to see his imperfections, acknowledge them, and love him, anyway.

    It’s stupid, it’s so fucking stupid, but that’s how it feels when Eddie’s lips press into his birthmark and then he smiles at Buck just as fondly as he did before. It feels like Eddie is seeing him, all of him. Acknowledging those imperfections and loving him, anyway.

    --

    OR: 5 times Eddie kisses Buck's birthmark & 1 time he doesn't.

    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.

    ---
    Buck's stint as a Fire Marshall comes with some unforeseen side effects. Eddie Diaz is done sitting on the sidelines when his best friend needs him.
