Summary
Eddie couldn’t help but picture himself where the older man stood, imagining how he’d be shaking like a leaf, nervous as sin, and excited as hell to be there. How he’d be smiling at his guests, his friends and family, before feeling his heart swell and his smile grow when the music changed and Buck started toward him, Maddie’s hands resting on the crook of his elbow as she prepared to give him away.
He would be teary-eyed as the pair made it down to him, easily accepting Buck’s hands after Maddie kissed both their cheeks.
Or: Eddie does not hold his peace when the officiant says “Speak now”.

Summary
The pain was keeping him alert, adrenaline of the situation keeping him moving as the doors finally opened and he stumbled into the metal box, gracelessly collapsing against the wall and towards the ground.
Before the doors could fully close, however, they were pushed open by a hand that Eddie would recognize anywhere.
Buck.
Or: The speculation fic for the elevator scene in episode 9x18.

Summary
The two texts came in almost simultaneously.
Eddie
Can you come over?Chris
I need ur helpThere had been no hesitation on his part, with Buck grabbing his keys and immediately headed for South Bedford Street. While he wasn’t panicked since no one had actually called him, he was on high alert, not exactly sure what he was about to step into. For both the Diaz boys to message though, he had some idea and hoped that he was wrong.
-
Chris doesn’t end up in Texas, but with Buck. Which leaves Buck to navigate surprise parenthood, feelings realizations, crazy parents, and his best friend all at once.

Summary
The drive home was quieter, Chris barely awake in the backseat and the window rolled down slightly. Buck hadn’t repeated what him and Chris talked about but had assured him that he was okay and it was nothing that Chris wouldn’t tell him on his own. There was no doubt when he said it, like it was a foregone conclusion that Chris would come around.
Eddie let his thoughts wander as he drove the familiar route, the same route he had been driving for nearly three years. The house to the apartment, the apartment to the house; he could probably do it in his sleep. He thought about Ana, about how he liked her, how he could envision bringing her back to Texas to meet his parents and how they’d approve of her.
But it didn’t warm him the way he thought it would, or should.
Or: After picking Christopher up from Buck’s, Eddie can’t help but to wonder if he missed something in his Captain’s advice.

Summary
“How did you do it? When it was Maddie?”
“Which time? When Dispatch was held hostage or when Amber kidnapped her?”
“Either? Both. I was just… so sure that I wouldn’t find him, or I’d be too late. Just to realize I wasn’t even looking for the right people.”
Or: Eddie and Chim have a conversation about their respective Buckley getting kidnapped, which includes the feelings when they were found. It leads to some retrospection and a realization.

Summary
“Huh, you know, I never thought about it like that,” Eddie says, out of the blue.
Buck glances up from his plate, “About what?” he asks.
“It actually makes sense— Us being together, I mean,” Eddie explains, casually, gesturing with his hands.
Buck almost chokes, “What?”
(Or, everyone in New México calls Eddie gay, assuming he’s with Buck. He thinks they might be onto something…)

Summary
“You missed some,” Eddie said.
Buck let out a breath that was almost a laugh.
“Did I?”
“Yeah.”
“Where?”
Eddie held up his hand.
Buck looked at the frosting on Eddie’s knuckle.
His eyes stayed there a second longer than they needed to.
Then he stepped closer, his hip almost brushing Eddie’s knee.
“Here?” Buck asked.
His voice had gone softer.
Eddie nodded once.
Buck caught Eddie’s wrist again.
This time, Eddie noticed the way Buck held him. Thumb against his pulse. Fingers loose, like Eddie could pull away if he wanted to.
He did not want to.
Buck bent his head and put his mouth to Eddie’s knuckle.

Summary
For a second, Eddie switched sides. He thought about how he’d feel if Buck had been the one trapped down there. He would’ve been livid, but even more so, he would’ve been petrified. Even the idea of losing Buck was overwhelmingly unnerving. He couldn’t imagine one day without him, let alone a whole lifetime.
Buck checked in with Eddie, but Eddie should’ve checked in with Buck. He’d been so set on moving forward that he left his closest friend behind.
—
Or the one where Eddie opens his door and finds Buck, who is clearly overwhelmed and still afraid. Set shortly after 3x15.

Summary
“He doesn’t sleep.” The sentence ripped out of Buck before he could stop it. Tears threatened to spill as he brought his hand up, waving it around like it could solve all his problems. Admitting to his failure made him feel like a monster. “We’ve tried melatonin, tea, extra bedtime stories, exercising— Nothing works. Nothing works and Eddie, I am so fucking tired.”
Pathetic. He was pathetic. Almost every new parent went through a phase where their kid barely slept. Everyone else could handle it, including Maddie and Chim, so why couldn’t he? How did they push through feeling so beyond sick, that left and right and up and down all looked the same?
Earlier, he swore he saw the version of Daniel he saw in his coma dream lurking behind him. Did they see ghosts too?
A soft thumb ran over his cheek. Buck couldn’t stop himself from leaning into it.
“Baby,” Eddie whispered, soft and oh-so-concerned. In no universe did Buck deserve him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
—
Or the one where Theo has kept Buck awake for four days straight, and Eddie won't let him fall any further.

Summary
“Aw,” Harry says, smiling. “That’s adorable. Is it like—is it a thing? Do all of you keep pictures in your helmets?”
A murmur of general consensus ripples through their group. Harry, apparently delighted by this new knowledge, demands to see everyone’s secret photos.
“They’re kind of private,” Eddie says, crouched down to unlace his boots. He has a smudge of soot over his left cheek, and his hair has come loose from the gel, a lock of it curling over his brow. Buck likes him like this, just a little dishevelled.
or, firefighters sometimes keep photographs of the people they love inside their helmets, to remember who they’re fighting to come home to. eddie’s isn’t what buck expects.
