Summary
He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it.
He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it.
These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate.
The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband.
or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.

Summary
He didn't care if he got hurt. He was an adult, as long as it wasn't life threatening, he'd grit his teeth and bear the pain. But Theo, sweet precious little Theo, he didn't deserve to feel any pain. And if Eddie had to use his own body as a shield to ensure this piece of Buck's heart got home unscathed, he would do it over and over again.
Just let him be okay. Keep him safe, don't worry about me. It was the last thing Eddie thought before the ground fully fell away beneath them.

Summary
"What is going on?" Evan finally demanded and Mr. Reigns chuckled, crossing his arms.
"Your parents have a debt to me, kid. 17 years ago, Margaret came to me for help, as Phillip was sterile and they needed a miracle to save their boy. I had my men tested and one kindly donated to your parents, to give them a parts garden for the child they actually wanted.
"The only payment I asked for was, well, you. My children needed spouses, and why not one indebted into loyalty? I believe my son, Derek, is the one interested, so feel lucky. You may be marrying the heir to the biggest mafia on the West Coast," he said smugly, Evan's mouth falling open.
~~~~~~
At 16, Evan Buckley was sold off to a mafia leader to marry his son to settle a debt the Buckley parents held.
At 28, Buck was the hidden husband to the most successful mafia leader of California, but a known coffee shop bakery owner by day. And first responders were his main customers.
Especially the firefighter with the tired yet warm brown eyes and shy smile who came in looking for a simple coffee and a minute of Buck's time.

Summary
"What are you saying, Eddie?" Buck asks again, soft and patient, and it's so unlike him that Eddie melts into his chair.
"Yeah," Eddie chuckles. "What am I saying?"
"Y-you want to try with me? Figuring out…"
"If we could want the same form of physical intimacy from each other," Eddie finishes for him with a nod, a little more confident now.
"H-how?"
"Uh, I don't know yet," Eddie admits. "Slowly, I suppose. I thought we could, you know, come up with a plan together?"
"A plan," Buck echoes, but he doesn't sound weirded out, more like he's already planning to buy a clipboard. "And it wouldn't be strange? I mean, considering— I'm a man, Eddie."
OR After the attack in the hospital, Eddie finds a letter hidden inside a book that Buck gave him, and reading it unravels him irreparably.

Summary
It was a shitshow, to say the least. Despite, what he’d told Bobby all those months ago, he did not have a handle on the problem. He had the opposite. He had zero handles, and he was too embarrassed to bring it up. It was definitely an issue, but it wasn’t too serious. And it didn’t affect anybody besides himself.
But it was definitely affecting him in a bad way. Hard day at work? Go have sex to feel better. Bobby yell at him for screwing up again? Find an old guy to tell him he’s good for something. See a happy family on a call and remember he hasn’t spoken to Maddie in seven years? Blackout so he doesn’t have to be reminded of that gaping wound.
It was really bad. Yeah. But like, privately bad. Secretly bad. Except for his roommates, who were starting to get pissed about him stumbling around drunk with his guests. So, he started to look for a new apartment in earnest.
And just when he was starting to think things were getting actually concerning, and pretty soon he wouldn’t even remember what the point of anything was, who walked into the fire station, looking perfect and attractive and ready to change Buck’s life?
Eddie fucking Diaz.

Summary
Buck only means to go to confession once.
Instead, he finds himself returning to the same church again and again for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with religion and everything to do with one devastatingly kind priest named Eddie Diaz.
What starts as awkward conversations and accidental emotional vulnerability slowly becomes something far more dangerous: feelings.
Unfortunately for Buck, falling for a priest is a terrible idea.
Even more unfortunate?
It might not just be him.Bookmarked by Deathorcake

Summary
Since Eddie left, they’ve been talking non-stop every single day. This unsettling silence doesn’t make any sense – Buck is sure something must’ve happened. Eddie sounded so happy last time they talked because things with his son were finally getting better. There had been a real light in his voice, the kind Buck could recognize even underwater. So, he doesn’t know what might’ve made him vanish into thin air as if he were a ghost. It could be anything, and Buck is scared shitless. It’s a nightmare and Buck can’t seem to wake up from it.
Or the one where Buck goes to his best friend's rescue in Texas, and shit happens.

Summary
"So should we start blocking off time in our calendar for dance lessons with Coach Diaz?"
Eddie knows Karen means it as a joke, but the combination of the wine in his system and the joy in his gut make it feel serious, "Yes."
"Wait, really?" Hen asks.
"If she wants to dance, I'll teach her to dance. We had fun today," Eddie finishes his glass and notices he's probably at the point where he's drunk enough to talk about the Buck thing.
"You don't have to do that Eddie. I'm sure we could pay for lessons somewhere," Karen offers.
"Or we could pay you," Hen offers.
"I have an idea for that actually," alright, Eddie, be brave, "I give Mara dance lessons and you both give me gay lessons."
or
When Mara becomes obsessed with ballroom dance Eddie becomes her teacher. Along the way he realizes he's in love with Buck, starts receiving "gay lessons" from Hen and Karen, and forms a ragtag dance academy. What could possibly go wrong?
