Summary
It’s been 5 years since that day when Buck’s whole world crumbled. When he lost the love of his life, family and home all at once. He tried to keep in touch with Chris, he really did. But time and distance made it go further and further between the calls, and eventually they died out, transitioning into a venmo for birthdays and Christmas’s.
He never spoke to Eddie again.
Not until he gets that phone call.- - - - -
The man freezes at the sight of him and Buck sees how his eyes widen in shock. For a moment they just stare at each other.
“Buck..?” Eddie eventually says hesitantly, eyes darting behind him towards the road, almost like he was looking for an explanation for his presence behind him, and Buck clears his throat before lifting an eyebrow.
“Well. You look pretty good for being on the brink of death.” He states dryly.- Language:

Summary
Despite his attempts, Chimney's speech although rousing, failed. Buck transferred out of the 118. Eddie returned to El Paso with Chris.
It's been six years, and Eddie is back in L.A. Chris is gone, college bound and Eddie finds himself back in a place he had long forgotten to call home. Time had drifted them, meet ups became video calls, video calls became texts, then texts turned into a couple of birthday and Christmas wishes between most of them.
Buck and Eddie's friendship stilted after Bobby's death and Eddie's return to El Paso. Two different lives. Neither are sure what or who was to blame. Eddie still can't help but feel regret though, especially now he's been out and somewhat proud the past few years. But what happens when he catches up to Buck and sees where his own life took him?

Summary
Evan Buckley knows he's screwed up. He knows that getting high every day, drinking the night away, and sleeping with anyone who will look at him twice isn't healthy. But he's alone in LA, his life is going nowhere, and so would there be a reason for him to stop? Even meeting a lost kid at a grocery store who asks for his help shouldn't move the needle on his life choices. But that kid (and his attractive father) stick in his mind and make him wonder what the hell he's doing with his life.
Eddie Diaz is holding on to a thread. He knows that he's doing the best he can, that trying to balance a demanding job as a firefighter, his son's needs who he is always seemingly failing at least according to his ex-wife, his girlfriend who wants to move their relationship to the next level, and his family's expectations is a losing battle. But he shoves it all down, and focuses on taking care of Chris and making sure his son is happy and has all that he needs. He just doesn't expect that a blond with a birthmark over his eye to keep popping up.

Summary
Chim is reading aloud before Buck can lunge across the counter and stop him, “I’d beg so loud they’d all know exactly what you—” His eyebrows climb to his hairline, “Buck, what the fuck?”
Ravi bursts out laughing, nearly doubling over, “Wait, you sexted the group chat?!”
“No, no, no—” Buck’s voice traitorously cracks and he can feel the heat in his face, “That’s not—I didn’t—”
Hen’s tone sharpens, amusement undercut with curiosity, “You’re seeing someone? Who is she?”
Or,
Three months of secret hookups with Eddie and Buck manages to blow it all with one wrong text.- Language:
