    Summary

    Eddie shifts his weight a few times. “What does that mean?”

    This could go a lot of ways. If this is Buckley, and Eddie’s pretty sure it is, it could lead to him hanging this over his head, trying to get sex out of it, and honestly – Eddie’s slept with people for less. And Eddie could do, has done, a lot worse.

    He would hate being strong-armed into sex, but he’s been strong-armed into it before, and this guy, well, it’s not like he hasn’t thought about it.

    “Um,” is all the answer Eddie gets.

    And then there’s this meandering, endless pause, where the guy stands there and just… stares at him. Eddie can’t decide if it’s awkward or if they are slipping back into creepy. “What’s with the staring?”

    “Sorry!” Sleeves immediately jerks his eyes away, then scratches the back of his head before he looks back at Eddie and snaps away again. “It’s just – uh, it’s weird, seeing you, um, without the…”

    Eddie raises an eyebrow. “Handcuffs?”

    OR

    Eddie works at a strip club, and Buck's a very frequent customer.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was nine years old the day he disappeared.

    It takes eleven years of hell to get the courage to escape the organisation that raised him. It'll take years more before he finally feels like a person again, for the ghosts of his past to stop haunting his every move.

    He becomes Buck, becomes a firefighter, finds a family, a sister, and two best friends.

    And then when he's thirty-one, Chris is taken. And if he wants to get him back, he'll need to face the past he thought he'd finally escaped.

    Summary

    ‘’What does it say?’’ Theo asks in a small voice finally moving his tiny fingers over the tattoo like he’s reading it word by word, letter by letter.

    Eddie softens. ‘’It’s in Spanish. It says ‘Fortalecer la mente y suprar el cuerpo’.’’

    Theo turns his head around to look at Eddie, eyes huge like saucers and gasps.

    ‘’Wow,’’ he whispers then turns to the tattoo again and traces it with his finger. ‘’What does it mean?’’

    ***
    Or: Eddie broke his wrist so he’s on Theo duty. Theo sees his tattoo. Theo wants a tattoo. Theo gets a tattoo. In that order 😊

    Summary

    “So we’re into dudes now?”

    Eddie tries not to let the amusement show on his face as he watches this weird version of Buck size him up. It’s reminiscent of their first meeting. Buck had acted like a complete idiot (he’d thought it was because he was threatened, but years later Buck will now finally admit it was because he wanted to fuck Eddie so bad it made him stupid). He’s got that same bratty look and attitude now.

    “We’ve always been into guys, you just haven’t realized it yet.” Buck (3.0? Or is it 4.0 now?) says. Eddie’s not sure what model they’ve upgraded to at this point, but that doesn’t matter. His Buck, current-Buck, husband-Buck is speaking.

    “Are you gay?” 1.0—that’s what Eddie’s taken to calling him in his mind—asks, a disgruntled look on his face. He’s actually quite cute. Smaller and leaner than the Buck Eddie first met when he started at the 118, he kind of reminds Eddie of a puppy. “Because I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this,” he waggles his eyebrows obnoxiously. “I really like women.”

    “Bi.” Buck (husband-Buck) corrects, he’s got his arms crossed over his chest, defensive.

    or,

    Buck 1.0 time travels to a future where he and Eddie are married—everyone is handling it well.

    Summary

    On a seemingly ordinary night in 2022, Buck receives a text from what he assumes is a wrong number and goes along with it for lack of anything better to do. But it quickly becomes evident that nothing about this night is ordinary, as he finds himself texting an Eddie Diaz five years in the past, before he's moved to LA and joined the 118.
    What happens during the next twenty-four hours will change Buck's and Eddie's lives forever.
    -
    Eddie: like I said, I just wanted to update my phone
    Eddie: maybe I did something to it 👀
    Buck: of course YOU would try to update your phone and end up texting the future 🤣
    Eddie: hey!
    Buck: technology really doesn’t like you, does it?
    Buck: 😇
