    Summary

    Buck’s vision was starting to blur at the edges, a dark vignette creeping in like smoke. His hand fumbled for Eddie’s sleeve but didn’t quite make contact. He slumped further down, back pressing against the base of the table, trying to stay quiet. Trying not to make this worse.

    His fingers came away from his chest, soaked in red.

    No one had seen it yet.

    And Buck couldn’t find the air to call out.

    OR

    The 118 only meant to attend a gala—but by the end of the night, Buck was shot, and nothing was ever the same again.

    Summary

    Buck leaned forward, elbows on his knees. “Eddie,” he muttered, and Eddie was smiling like this was all very amusing. “Are you telling me you trained until you could bench my weight just in case you needed to pick me up one day?”

    “Not needed,” Eddie said, leaning closer. “In case I wanted to. Which I did. Do. So—do you want me to carry you to the shower, Buck?”

    In which Buck struggles to take a shower with the press of chronic pain, and Eddie has an accessible bathroom, and Buck is too embarrassed to admit it makes his life easier, so he lies about a broken shower.

    Summary

    “Why are you acting like this isn’t a big deal?” His voice was raised, but he wasn’t yelling. “Buck, you have been living out of a storage unit for weeks! You’re in pain, you’re hungry, and you’re— You’re homeless. You have no home."

    Eddie had such a way with words. You have no home. Very nice of him.

    “What do you want me to do, Eddie?” He put the measuring cup down with enough force that it bounced to the floor. “Breakdown and cry? Get on my knees and beg someone for a loan? I took what I could.”

    “No, you didn’t.” Eddie’s cursed index finger came up, pointing right at Buck’s chest. “Because you didn’t tell anyone! We would’ve helped you. I would’ve helped you.”

    “I don’t want anyone’s help,” Buck pressed. “I got myself into this situation, and I can get myself out. I always do.”

    Eddie held both his hands up, but they dropped as something dawned on him. Misery flooded his features. “You took over my lease.”

    The last thing Buck wanted to do was make Eddie feel guilty. His decisions put him where he was— Nobody else’s. Still, his head fell. “Yeah, Eddie. I did.”

    Or the one where Buck has no choice but to move into a storage unit, and Eddie finds out.

    "You okay?" Eddie asked.

    “No, I’m not okay.”

    “Okay, tell me what’s wrong?”

    "What's wrong is that me telling you all of this makes me feel worse because I don't want to be exhausting anymore.”

    "Wait, wait, slow down. Exhausting? Who said—"

    Summary

    There’s weight across him, an arm draped loosely but firmly over his torso, the faint, steady rhythm of someone else’s breathing brushing against his skin.

    Skin against skin. No barrier, no layers, nothing between them except heat and contact. 

    Why is Eddie...

    Oh my god.

    Or

    Buck wakes up hungover in a hotel room after Chim’s bachelor party, realizes he and Eddie had a very real hookup… and immediately spirals into panic because now he’s convinced Eddie was just drunk and he’s single-handedly ruined their entire relationship.

    Summary

    Buck's not sure what he expected: silence, most definitely, perhaps some localized pain from the burns and the force of the blast.

    Not this.

    He can't hear the beeping of the machines or the raised voices of the nurses and doctors. He can't hear Eddie or Maddie or anyone he knows trying to find out what's happening over the chaos. He can't hear anything at all except the ringing, the ringing, the ringing.

    ...

    After an incident at work leaves Buck near-completely deaf, Buck and Eddie have to navigate a new version of life while also ignoring the giant elephant in the room.

    Summary

    “He’s not my boyfriend! He’s Eddie! He’s a renter, and he’s straight,” Buck said proudly, as if that clarified anything.

    The reporter hesitated. “So he was there because...?”

    “He’s a paramedic,” Buck said, nodding solemnly. “Well, he used to be my firefighter partner, and now he’s someone else’s paramedic partner, which is fine, I guess. I miss him, though. He’s… he’s kind of my favorite person.”

    The reporter blinked, caught somewhere between touched and deeply uncomfortable. “Well, it’s a good thing he was there!”

    Buck brightened, grinning wide and loopy. “Yeah, isn’t he the best? Man, I love him. And not just in a straight renter way. In a bisexual homeowner way. I just bought a house, you know!”

    Summary

    “But despite that, he was always there. Whenever I needed him, there he was. He saved me so many times, and still counting. Corny, I know.” Eddie’s mind started to wander elsewhere. Of course he would think of Buck. They had quite literally saved each other’s lives in the past and always had each other’s backs. It’s only normal he would have Buck come to mind here because what was the harm in all of this reminding him of his best friend?

    Or, Eddie stumbles across a Smosh Reddit stories video, thinking only of Buck. But only in a very super platonic way, obviously... Right?

    It starts as a joke… mostly.
    Hen puts 5 dollars in a cup and says buck and eddie will be together by christmas. Chim makes a spreadsheet before lunch, and bobby disapprovingly says “no not a chance this is inappropriate in the workplace” and then puts five on "before next summer”

    What follows is two years of painful pining near misses, incidents that should 100% count as dating, jealousy and a betting pool that could fund the next 4 118 family bbq’s and the best part buck and eddie are completely clueless that there's money involved and the entire rest of the 118 are absolutely losing their minds about when it's going to happen

    Eddie opens his mouth. Closes it. Finally, he settles on, “You told your parents you’re married? To a man?”

    Chimney and Hen both glance at him with twin looks that clearly mean he’s on his own with telling the rest of the story. Which—they had no problem teasing and joking about it three seconds ago, but now that Buck has to really get to the heart of the issue, they’re leaving it to him?

    Go fucking figure.

    “I told my parents,” Buck says, rubbing at the bridge of his nose with closed eyes, “that I’m married to you.”

    Hen sighs. “Something had to be said before you idiots put us in mortal peril.”

    “I’d never do anything to jeopardize our safety on a job! You know that Hen.”

    “Maybe not on purpose,” Chim chimes in, “but, see, the thing is, when you flirt with our Buck, his brain turns off. He just bluescreens.”

    “You’re flustering the poor boy, Eddie,” Hen adds. “And it’s making him dumb.”

    “-er,” Chim adds.

    “Wha- Buck isn’t flustered.”

    Eddie is flustered. His face feels hot. He takes another sip of his coffee to give his hands something do to, but that only makes him feel warmer. Shit.

    Hen levels him with the most deadpan look. “Last week he walked into a stop sign after you called him ‘big boy’ on a call.”

    Eddie nearly spits out his coffee.

    Summary

    Buck supposes in a way, he’s always been a little obsessive.

    When a thought grips him—a fear—he’s rarely able to let go of it again. It digs its little claws into his brain and makes a home inside his head until eventually, it relents and loosens its hold. Sometimes, it’s only to make room for a new fear. Other times, it simply disappears on its own.

    It’s just something he’s learned to live with—something he can live with.

    And then he gets struck by lightning.

    Or: After Buck gets struck by lightning, he starts to develop OCD.

    Summary

    Years later, Eddie would wonder exactly what the first sign was. If it was the cough or the fatigue. If it was the way that Buck always seemed to be just a little short of breath, or got dizzier than usual when standing up. He wondered if he had recognized the signs then, could he have changed things? Stopped the ticking of the clock, the slipping of the grains of sand into the bottom of the hourglass?

    Years later, he would realize that once the symptoms started to show, it was likely already too late.

    But that wasn’t what he had been paying attention to. No, Eddie had been focused on what had been simultaneously the easiest and (second) hardest thing he’d ever done: realizing he was in love with Evan Buckley.

    Or, how Eddie realizes that Buck is hiding a secret from the 118—one that could fundamentally change everything forever. This is a story about hope and grief, about coming to terms with oneself and learning to accept love, and about what losing someone can look like. This is a story about love, loss, and all the messy things in between.
