Summary
When Buck and Eddie’s flight home from the Firefighter Games gets cancelled, the only option left is a twenty-seven hour drive back to Los Angeles.
Somewhere between Nashville, and one very small motel room with only a one bed, a line they’ve both been pretending not to see finally disappears.
Turns out the long way home might have been inevitable.

Summary
Eddie swallows hard. “You’re right here, but it feels like you’re gone. And I don’t know how to fix that. I just… I miss you.”
For a second, Buck doesn’t move. Then his throat works around a swallow. “Eds…” he says softly, like the name itself might break if he’s not careful.
Two of their own are stranded in space, the city is on edge, and Eddie feels like everything is slipping through his fingers.
But in the quiet between sirens, Buck reaches for him and the distance between them finally breaks.

Summary
He’s been so careful lately. Careful not to look too long, not to let his hands linger, not to imagine what it would be like if Buck never moved out again. Careful to keep his words neutral and his tone even, to live in the narrow space between missing and pretending.
But Buck laughs, really laughs, and it’s like air rushing into a room that’s been closed for too long. Eddie feels it flood through him, warm and dizzying. He loves that laugh. He’s loved it for years. And suddenly he can’t remember why he ever thought he could live without it.
Or: Bobby’s gone, Buck moved out, and Eddie’s trying to remember how to keep going.

Summary
Buck’s tongue darts across his bottom lip. He doesn’t say what he’s thinking: that the fight has never been just about points or podiums. That every race between them has felt like a confession they’re too afraid to say out loud. That maybe if Eddie would just blink first, he could finally breathe.
Instead, he says, “Turn 1’s mine.”
Eddie raises an eyebrow. “If you make it there.”
They’re so close now, Buck can see the way Eddie’s throat works as he swallows, the way his knuckles twitch like he’s resisting the same instinct.
Buck exhales slow. “You always push me.”
Eddie doesn’t hesitate. “You always chase.”
Or: They were teammates. Then rivals. Then something more.
From Abu Dhabi to Monaco, through podium battles, press room stares, and one unforgettable night in Vegas, this is a story of speed, silence, and the impossible gravity of love at 300 km/h.

Summary
Eddie has lost nearly everything that matters. Nearly. He can't afford to let himself spiral or what is temporary might become permanent.
Buck should be happier than he's ever been. He has nearly everything he's ever wanted. Nearly.
So why does nothing feel right for either of them?

Summary
Buck's mind goes blank: suddenly and perfectly blank like a briskly shaken Etch A Sketch, the tracks of his thoughts swept clean. Eddie's mouth is on his. Eddie's nose bumps his nose, and his stubble rasps, and Eddie is kissing him.
And this is probably a bad idea.
The thought surfaces briefly. This is probably a bad idea. They don't do this. They haven't talked about this. Until thirty seconds ago, he was perfectly certain that Eddie was straight.

Or: Eddie's love life gets some supernatural meddling.

Summary
“Oh— I just— never mind, so… I guess people like me?” Buck cheekily says, but his cheeks are slightly flushed and his tone is shy. He’s sitting on the edge of the bed and running a hand through his hair and— how could anyone not like you? Eddie wonders. How could anyone not love you? He wants to ask. (Texas is that good when it comes to self-discovery and revelations, apparently)
“Tell me about it then,” is what he says though, encouraging his friend, basking in the warmth that Buck’s voice carries.
“Well, they— uh, they found out that I’m a firefighter ‘cause I was at the station, uniform on and all, and some people started asking questions—”
Eddie smiles fondly and cuts him off without thinking. “And you love talking about it,” he usefully finishes the thought.
What happens when Buck becomes TikTok famous, people assume that Eddie is dead, then that they are married and eventually help them get together
