Summary
“You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.”
Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go.
There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted.
“Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.”
It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there.
He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking.
Buck never asks for anything.
Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.”
Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.

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.

“Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”
Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”
“I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”
Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

Eddie shrugs. “Christopher mentioned to Daniel that Buck and I are partners. I mean, sure, it’s a little weird that she invited him over as well, but—”
“Partners,” Hen interrupts, “like work partners?”
Eddie and Buck glance at each other. “Uh, yeah?” Eddie says. “What other type of partner?”
Hen stares at them for a moment, before she bursts out laughing. “You dumbasses. She thinks you’re together.”
or, Eddie joins the PTA.

Summary
Really, Eddie doesn’t care that the PTA aren’t his biggest fan. He knows he misses too many meetings, and it’s not like he’s best friends with any of the other parents. It doesn’t affect Christopher, so it doesn’t bother him. He’ll pay for the annual fundraising mugs and consider his duty done.
But then Buck picks Christopher up from a class trip and it all goes to hell.
Like, of course Buck is everyone’s dream guy. He’s responsible with kids, and kind, and funny and interesting and hot to touch. That’s obvious. But now Eddie’s fighting to keep the PTA moms, teachers, and dads, all off an unsuspecting and tempting Buck.
Because Eddie is a good friend. Right?

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”

"I don't think Eddie knows how to ride a horse."
As far as Buck is aware, his best friend is not harbouring secret equestrian tendencies.
"Yes, he does," Theo insists stubbornly, looking personally offended at Buck's disagreement. "He rode a horse in the desert."
Buck blinks.
"Chris told me."

Summary
Remi thinks for a second, her head cocking like a new puppy. "You ever heard of a cracking egg?"
Eddie stares at her like an explanation will start wrapping around her head like lines from a teleprompter. "Is that a puberty thing?"
Her mouth drops open, but she works through a silent thought before nodding so very slowly. "You know what? Yeah, I think it could be. Now, I'm not saying that your kid's egg is cracking, I'm just—," she waves her hands, wiggling her fingers, "y'know, putting it out there."
"Am I supposed to know what that means?"
Or, teenagers are complicated. Chris Diaz is absolutely no exception to that rule.

“From now on, I won’t try to force myself to be with women. I’m going to try to find happiness with a man.”
Christopher looks at Eddie for a lingering moment until his gaze trails off to Buck and something like a realization dawns behind his glasses.
“Oh!”
“Oh, what?” asks Eddie, bewildered.
His son just throws his head back laughing.
“Dad, you don’t have to. It’s not the same as it was with Ana,” he lets out another laugh that is only met with more confusion from both Buck and Eddie. Christopher narrows his eyes before carrying on, “Well, you’re trying to ease me into revealing that you’re dating Buck now, aren’t you?”
Well, fuck. That’s— That’s definitely not what this is.

“Are you worried about not being able to understand Christopher because he feels this way and you don’t?” asks Frank.
“Not worried,” Eddie shakes his head. “Kind of the opposite. I want him to teach me. Teach me what it’s like to feel that comfortable in your skin. That comfortable with who you are, even when the world is against you.”

OR Christopher comes out. After some contemplation, so does Eddie.

Summary
“You’re such an idiot,” Stephen said, absolutely aghast at this stranger’s utter idiocy as he focused on the knife wound on the man’s side. “Did you really just step in front of a mugger with a knife?” he asked as he put pressure on the man’s wound again while they waited.
The man laughed, the sound a little muffled behind the fabric from his ripped sleeve that he had pressed to his nose to stem the blood from when, after he’d knocked the knife from the mugger’s hand, he’d ended up punched in the face. “Well, sometimes these things just happen.”
“This did not just happen,” Stephen said, exasperated. “This was a very deliberate choice.”
-_-
Stephen meets an idiot in the park, now he just has to find him again.

“There are too many yogurts.”
Eddie blinks slowly at his phone.
“…What?”
“There are probiotic yogurts and Greek yogurts and low-fat yogurts and yogurts specifically for children and I don’t know which one means I’m a good father.”
Eddie presses the heel of his hand against his forehead.
“Where are you?”
“Aisle seven.”
“Stay there.”or
Buck is new to this whole fatherhood thing, Eddie isn't, and somewhere along the way, they realise what's been there all along.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

Summary
"Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."
“Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”
or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.

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?
