    Summary

    Mrs. Young smiled. “As teachers, we don't get to sit down and talk one on one with each child as much as they deserve. This assignment always grants me a beautiful insight to my students. Their proudest accomplishments, their darkest moments, or even some facts I've never known.”

    She lifted a hand to her heart. “So with that, I would like all of you hear from one of the most beautiful essays I've had the pleasure of reading, from one of the-” she sighed. “-funniest kids I've met. Please welcome Christopher Diaz.”

     

    ...Christopher smiled into the microphone. "My name is Christopher Diaz. Here's my essay."

    "Dear abandoning dead Mom."

    The silence from the audience was deafening.

    "Oh god." Eddie whispered beside him.

    **OR**

    Chris gets an award for Student Performance night!

    Summary

    The voice had always been around, Eddie remembers it, like a stream of consciousness that babbled incoherently to the point where Eddie just tuned it out. 

    But then the voice started speaking directly to him. Conversing like he was a whole person standing right in front of him. Like he could see what was happening around Eddie.

    Eddie shook his head. No one was talking to him, and Eddie most certainly was not talking back.

    He wouldn’t talk to the boy in his head ever again. There was no boy in his head.

    Summary

    They don’t make a big deal of telling everyone the news — aside from Christopher, which Buck had been endearingly nervous about — because honestly, fundamentally, nothing changes. Everyone already knows, really, so Buck and Eddie don’t feel like they need to broadcast it.

    They do their best to keep it professional at the station, for the most part, but sometimes their small but intimate touches seep into the work day without them even consciously realizing it.

    (Or, Buck and Eddie share soft touches at work, and the team notices and comes to conclusions.)

    Summary

    Hen stares at Buck for a long moment, then turns on her heel to walk upstairs. “Chim! Did you know that Peanut is a human child and not a small animal?”
    “Buck’s Peanut?” Chim calls back, leaning over the railing. “No? Is she not a dog?”
    “No!” Buck replies. “She’s a preschooler!”

     

    OR: At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?

    Summary

    When the firefighter walks into Eddie's coffeeshop, Eddie immediately knows two things about him: he's not human, and he's the love of Eddie's life.

    Oh, he knows a bunch of other things too, obviously. He's about thirty, a few months younger than Eddie himself. He has a scar on his throat, like he got stabbed there, and one of his legs has some metal rods in it that must have come from a bad injury. The guy doesn't know he's not human, which is a tricky thing to figure out, but Eddie's almost positive. Most of the non-humans he knows have always known they aren't people, but there are exceptions, and they tend to carry themselves differently. Ana before her first full moon as a werewolf had a very different vibe from Ana after.

    The firefighter moves like he knows he doesn't belong, but not like he knows why. Like he's afraid of taking up space, afraid of being noticed.

    As if Eddie is even capable of not noticing him.

    Summary

    Buck made a mistake. Only it wasn’t a one time thing. It happened a second, and third time too. It’s not like he’d gone back for it, but it always ends up the same way, with his therapist crawling into his lap.

    ---

    “It wasn’t like that,” Buck tries. It sounds weak.

    “You went there for sex?” Eddie turns to glance at him, eyes raised questionably.

    “No, of course not,” Buck shakes his head.

    “Then it was wrong,” Eddie repeats. He dips his head, forces Buck to look at him. “How many times, Evan?”

    Summary

    Eddie caught sight of the man leaning against the side of his desk and immediately wanted to retreat to the relative safety of the hallway, back in time when he lived happily not knowing that Mr. Buckley was apparently some kind of male model masquerading as a third-grade teacher.

    “Uh. Hi,” was all he managed, as his brain desperately tried to reconcile this person—this very tall, very broad, very hot person, Jesus fucking Christ—with the Mr. Buckley that Chris rambled about constantly, the one who loved Lord of the Rings and was an endless repository of fun animal facts. (Did you know a group of owls was called a parliament? Eddie didn't, not until last week.)

    Summary

    Following the grocery store confrontation, Buck can't find a good reason to keep fighting to come back to people who don't want him. He drafts up his resignation, only to be stopped by a phone call from Chris' school, telling him that Christropher was transported to the hospital, and they can't get ahold of Eddie.

    Summary

    “Yeah, yeah, he’s—he’s my kid, he’s my kid,” Buck tells her, tripping over his words in the effort to get this whole process to hurry the fuck up so he can see Chris.

    There’s the sound of something hitting the floor from behind him, followed by what might be plastic bouncing off the shiny hospital tiles. The person at the desk looks up in surprise, over Buck’s shoulder, and he turns to look too.

    Eddie’s standing there, Styrofoam cup rolling at his feet, coffee splattered all down the bottom of his faded blue jeans. The plastic lid of the cup skitters over the tile before coming to a stop a few feet away. He looks like someone punched him in the gut, absolutely shellshocked, something Buck can’t quite read behind the startled expression on his face.

     

    or, buck's looking for something, and the diazes let him know he already has it

    Summary

    Eddie pauses. “What’s wrong? Was the bakery closed already?”

    Buck’s left thigh seizes. He laughs to disguise the whimper in his voice. He aches. He wants. He wants.

    “No, nothing, man,” Buck huffs. The extra air makes his voice sound stronger than it is. He inhales deeply. “Nothing’s wrong. I have the bread, I’m on my way back, just…”

    “Traffic?”

    Sort of, Buck almost says.

    -OR-

    Buck is in a car accident. He knows he's going to die. He calls Eddie, just to hear his voice again.

    Summary

    Eddie doesn’t realise the pattern until Karen says, “You’re collecting us like Pokémon.”

    “What, Wilsons?” Eddie says. He’s mostly distracted by Christopher on the couch, who is with Denny showing Miles, Hen and Karen’s newest foster, how to play Animal Crossing on his Switch. Miles is already developing the same starry-eyed look in his eyes Christopher himself gets around Buck. “You certainly don’t make it hard.”

    “Not Wilsons, dummy,” Karen says. “Lesbians.”

    Which is—not what Eddie was expecting her to say. “Uh. What?”

     

    or, Eddie befriends May and Linda at dispatch. Then realises some stuff.

    Summary

    After reuniting with the 118 (three years after dropping the lawsuit and leaving and two years after having started a secret relationship with Eddie) Buck is back for his last couple months working as a smokejumper before officially returning to LA. The crew jumps one of their remotest fires yet, in a place where the only help they've got is one another and their wits. And the weather is not on their side.

    Summary

    After the fight in the grocery store, Buck feels like he's causing too much damage so he drops the lawsuit and leaves LA, joining a hotshot wildland firefighter crew out of Montana. He's gone for six months until he gets a call from Chris that something is wrong with Eddie, causing him to race back home only to find a very confused Eddie instead of a hurt or depressed Eddie. Eddie talks him into coming inside for a beer and after that Buck can't bring himself to leave the Diaz boys behind again. But that doesn't mean he's ready to talk to anyone else yet. So they just don't tell anyone else Buck is back. For over two years. Even when they start dating.

    Three years after he left LA and the 118, there's a pileup on the 210 in La Tuna Canyon Park and a wildfire racing towards all the crews scrambling desperately to get everyone out in time, including the 118. Buck's crew is in the right place at the right time, and they don't hesitate to come help.

    Eddie jolted as he heard the whistling rasp that was slipping out of Buck’s mouth.

    “Hey,” Eddie said, his limbs feeling like they were moving through molasses as he fought himself onto the clearer side of waking up. “What’s—”

    “I… Can’t…” Buck gasped before he swallowed audibly. “I’m having t-trouble… b-breath-ing.”

    Summary

    “And you think maybe you’re just really great friends with this guy, but then you start to think about how you can’t imagine what your life was really like before him, and you really don’t want to imagine what your life would be like without him.”

    “Holy shit,” Buck breathes, nodding still. “Yeah, all of that. How’d you…”

    “Have you considered that you may be bisexual, Buck?”

    Buck turns back to TK, frowning. “No? I mean, maybe?” He groans and leans forward to set his coffee mug down before he throws himself back against the couch, running his hands down his face. “I guess I haven’t really tried to label it? It’s not something I really thought about before—”

    “—Eddie?”

    (Buck's struggling with his feelings, so he does the only logical thing to do: he drives 20 hours to Texas after a 24-hour shift by himself to seek out help from some new friends.)
