    Summary

    “Buck, seriously.” Eddie catches his eye, staring intently, attempting to beam the anxiety straight into Buck’s brain. “I know we’re both playing it cool, but… How are you not freaking out right now? I’m freaking out right now.” 

    Buck quirks an eyebrow. “I thought you didn’t panic.” 

    “I don’t,” Eddie insists. “But I woke up in the wrong body this morning, and I had to—” He lowers his voice, ducking closer to Buck. “I touched your dick, man. Which—you know.” 

    A violation of boundaries. A line that can’t be uncrossed. Something Eddie feels deeply guilty about.

    “You touched my dick?” Buck asks, approximately one billion decibels louder than necessary. 

    The room around them stills.

    Or: Buck and Eddie switch bodies. Chaos ensues.

    Summary

    Eddie climbs onto the bed. They sit side by side, legs extended, two letter L’s protruding off the page. Instead of pressing play like Eddie is expecting, Buck laughs.

    “What?” Eddie asks, an instinctive smile caressing his lips.

    Buck grips his jaw, thumb brushing over his teeth before he bites at the broad nail, stifling. “Just—did you ever see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?”

    Eddie nods. “Gene Wilder.”

    “That’s the one,” Buck chuckles around his thumb, then lets it slide free. “You know the grandparents?”

    Then Eddie’s laughing too. “Jesus,” he says on an exhale.

    “I’m just saying,” says Buck, still giggling. “I’ve seen our future, and it’s bright.”

    Or: God created the world in seven days. It only takes Eddie six to surreptitiously move into Buck’s house.

    Summary

    “Chim?” Buck yells loud enough that it bounces off a few cars. “Chim, like, Chimney? You have a crush on… Chimney? As in my sister’s husband?”

    Eddie recoils, startled. “I thought you said you knew?”

    “I… I…” Buck isn’t sure what to say. This changes everything—the entire day rewrites itself, and he sees every single fucking interaction: Eddie fawning over Chimney in the gym. The counter. The calls.

    It was never about Buck.

    “He’s fucking married, Eddie.”

    OR

    Eddie's got a crush, and Buck's handling it as expected.

    Summary

    “I mean,” Eddie backtracks hastily, “that I probably don’t—uh, that I don’t want a hook up. Just the single, uh, kiss. For research.”

    “Right,” Buck nods. “For research.”

    They turn back to the TV, sipping beers and spooning dessert, room quiet save for the telenovela playing. Buck, gun to his head, could not tell you who or what is on the screen right now. The brave, strong part of his brain has surrendered shamefully, white flag hoisted while the rest of his brain—stupid, stupid—hosts a skillfully imagined supercut of his best friend kissing men. It’s surprisingly new subject matter for him. What’s unsurprising is his distaste for every conjured scenario, discarding each indistinguishable stranger until the reel buffers on something more… familiar.

    “Well—”

    Eddie waits a patient minute for Buck to continue before asking, “Well, what?”

    “I just mean—if it’s just a kiss, right.” Buck pauses. “You could, uh. You could try it with me.”

     

    or, buck thinks kissing men and women feels pretty much the same. eddie’s not buying it. sometimes settling a bet requires kissing your best friend, a lot, for research

    Summary

    Prepared, Eddie ticks off the facts on his fingers. “We’re trapped underground, no way anyone topside is getting to us before our air runs out, not with all the other people up there who need saving, and the only way you’ll be strong enough to get us out is if you feed. What more do I need to know?”

    Buck’s face falls, fight starting to drain out of him like bathwater circling a drain. His eyes are sunken into their sockets, and his irises are enlarging, the dark limbal ring around them getting more pronounced. He’s stopped pretending to breathe, so still where he sits. When he speaks, Eddie catches the flash of fangs. If he’s too tired to even try to appear human, he needs this even more than Eddie expected.

    “It’s just… if I feed off of you, it’s gonna, uh… you’re going to feel it.”

    “Feel what? Your teeth? Yeah, I expected as much, Buck.”

    “No,” Buck rubs a hand over the back of his neck, clearly embarrassed for some reason Eddie can’t parse. “No, you’re gonna feel… turned on. You’ll probably get, uh, h-hard, and you probably won’t be able to help it. You’ll lose all your in-inhibitions, and you’ll need to get off.”

    Oh. Oh, well, yeah, he supposes that does add another layer to things.

    Summary

    There’s too much heat. The flames crackle and curl in the busted windows. The house is only two stories high. If Buck would listen, if he’d turn around and get out – he could be at the door, he could be out of the fucking blast radius.

    But Buck’s still standing in it.

    Eddie is cursed.

    Like he has been for years.

    Eddie is the blast radius.

    OR

    Eddie Diaz is cursed.

    Summary

    “So, what?” Eddie interrogates. “You’ve been watching my texts pile up while you swipe through Grindr, and then you get someone over here to mark you up and fuck you on my couch?”

    Eddie moves to El Paso. Buck takes his couch.

    Things deteriorate from there.

    Summary

    Buck was going to kill him.

    That was Eddie’s first thought when his brain processed the fact that he’d walked their kid right into the middle of a fucking bank heist.

    Summary

    His reflection is pallid, eyes dull. He’s lost weight, and somehow didn’t notice it until he looked in this mirror eight hundred miles away from the one he’s looked in every day for months. He notes that he’s split his lip open chewing on it, but his body doesn’t move to wipe that blood away. He shaved with Buck’s razor this afternoon before he put his funeral suit on, the one Buck bought for him despite his admittedly weak protestations, and he nicked the wing of his jaw. He was right earlier. The circles beneath his eyes are dark as plumbs.

    There is something wrong with him.

    Eddie tugs the sleeves of Buck’s sweatshirt down over his stiff hands before he goes back to bed, so at least if he starts bleeding again he won’t ruin Buck’s nice soft sheets.

    *

    Eddie develops stigmata.

    Summary

    “My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”

    Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.

    “She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.

    ----

    Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

    Summary

    Buck goes missing, and Eddie goes crazy.

    -----

    Eddie came home expecting to step right into Buck’s open arms, to hear the soft gravel of his laugh, to finally fucking breathe for the first time since Chris walked out the front door and Buck held Eddie up with a hand on his shoulder. He expected to show up at Bobby and Athena’s new house tomorrow night for a welcome back party he wasn’t supposed to know of but had already heard about from Buck, Ravi (by accident, since he assumed Buck had already told Eddie), and Denny via Chris (he wanted to ask Chris what games he should bring over). He expected life to go back to normal, to how it used to be.

    Instead, all he has is a pit in his stomach and a lump in his throat and a heart beating too fast, even while he’s standing still. He doesn’t panic, but for Buck, he might take up the habit.

    “He’ll be okay, Eddie,” Bobby says, and when Eddie just hums noncommittally, he adds, “When have you ever not known him to be fine?”

    “You want a list?” Eddie jokes, though he actually does have one, and each bullet point carries an addendum that says Eddie wasn’t there to keep him safe.

    Summary

    Eddie lounges on the bed, idly scrolling on his phone, listening to Buck’s off-key singing in the shower. It’s always the same, Buck likes his showers hot enough to scald, coming out of the bathroom in a cloud of steam, pink and scrubbed, and Eddie knows tonight will be no different, waiting as the water shuts off and Buck comes into the room, backlit by the bright lights of the en suite, naked and still dripping as Eddie watches and enjoys.

    To the casual observer it might seem like Buck moves aimlessly about the room, flitting from nightstand to chest of drawers to laundry basket but Eddie knows the routine, the steps plotted out in Buck’s head. He’s not complaining about the view he gets either; Buck’s broad shoulders and strong thighs, littered with tattoos chosen by a Buck Eddie didn’t know, the softness of his belly and hips, his strength, right to the core of him. Buck is fastidious with his waxing routine, water still dripping from his hair, running slowly over his collarbones and quickly down his smooth chest. Eddie watches a drop all the way from Buck’s neck to his hip. He wants to chase it with his tongue. He wants to suck the water out of Buck’s hair. Lap at him until he’s damp with Eddie’s spit instead.

    Summary

    “Eddie,” He says again, pulling back to look at Eddie’s eyes, trying to see if he’s there, if he’s doing this for real. “You’re–”

    Concussed. Bleeding. Scaring me.

    “Buck,” Eddie begs, fingernails digging into Buck’s shoulders, eyes wide and imploring. “Thought I wasn’t going to make it. Thought I was going to die before I got to, please–”

    Eddie doesn’t ask. He never asks. He’s asking now.

    OR

    Eddie has a close call at work that ends with both of them bleeding and desperate for each other in more ways than one.

    Summary

    “I-I didn’t say time loop,” Buck says. “How’d you know it was a time loop?”

    Eddie laughs, and it’s electric, not the soft, gentle thing that lights up Buck’s insides, but something charged like a trip wire. “You said dreaming about living the same day, that’s a time loop.”

    “No,” Buck says. “I said dreaming something that happens the next day.”

    Eddie groans. “It doesn’t matter. I just knew where you were gonna go with it, and-and yeah, I’ve had weird dreams before. You probably just need a little more sleep – didn’t you say you’d been having trouble?”

    This is not what he needed. Usually, Eddie would ask a few calming, leading questions, and get him somewhere more stable, but this… it’s like Eddie’s ten steps ahead of him and Buck doesn’t know how to catch up.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie get stuck in a time loop eight hundred miles apart.

    Summary

    When he looked up, Eddie’s eyes were bright, focused. He was a little flushed, and his shoulders were soft but his jaw was set. “I love you,” he said.
    “I love you, too, man,” Buck said. “But you know what I mean.”
    “I do know,” Eddie said. “Buck, I’m trying to tell you something.”

    Summary

    Bobby clears his throat, flustered. “Nothing you say will convince me to let you engage in PDA in this firehouse.”

    “But outside of the firehouse is okay?” Buck pitches. “Like, for instance, in the engine?”

    “Absolutely not,” Bobby says sternly. Buck deflates. “Just… find it within yourselves to be professional for the rest of the shift. Please.”

    “It’s okay, Cap,” Eddie says, with a smile equal parts charming and reassuring. “We’ll behave. Right, Buck?”

    “Yeah,” Buck agrees— not because he wants to, but because he’s pretty sure he would do anything Eddie ever told him to. “What’s another 46 hours?”

    Or: Buck, Eddie, and their first shift as a couple.

    Summary

    Eddie has been on his knees before.

    Eddie spent every Sunday of his childhood for years praying to a God that he did not understand. He knows the ache of prayer, the feeling of wood against his knees, he knows what it is to worship under watching eyes.

    Now, at thirty-four, he’s on his knees again. This time, on the hardwood floor of his own living room. The timber here is more forgiving than the pews of his youth.

    The watching eyes this time are Buck, heavy-lidded and leaning back, looking down at him.

    OR

    Eddie sucks Buck's dick for the first time. It's a religious experience if nothing else.
