Summary
“I might regret asking this but…” Ian trails off, hesitating until Eddie nudges him, urging him to continue. “Buck,” he says, simply.
Eddie frowns. He doesn’t remember Buck doing anything particularly weird or notable. Hell, he doesn’t even recall him and Ian talking that much. Is that weird? Is Ian worried that he didn’t get the best friend stamp of approval, or something? “What about him? I mean, he can be a little much sometimes, but he mellows out—”
Ian shakes his head. “No. I’m talking about: Buck, your very handsome and very involved best friend, who is also queer...” He trails off again, as if he’s waiting for Eddie to fill in the blank. When he doesn’t, Ian finally says: “Do I have anything to worry about there?”
*
Or, he does in fact have something to worry about.Series

Summary
"That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."
Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."
"I do know that."
"You don't."
"Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."
Or,
Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.Series

Summary
“I swear, this doesn’t normally happen to me.”
He didn’t normally run along trying to justify himself either, but it didn’t matter, because his date — Mia? Maya? — was already halfway out the door.
“Hey, man, you don’t have to justify yourself to me… just maybe don’t go calling yourself Firehose if the hose is lacking… water pressure.”
Buck was going to jump out a window.
“I don’t lack water pressure, okay, this has really never happened before. And Firehose is old, I didn’t even realise that name was still attached to the profile but—”
She sighed, “We’re not dating, Bock.” Buck’s brows wrinkled, “this was meant to be a short hookup, and your hook just isn’t going up, so I’m gonna head out.”
Before Buck could even argue any further, Meena was gone.
Or maybe it was Milla.
OR -
Eddie leaves and Buck tries to fuck about it. Instead, he fails miserably and repeatedly, gets a cat and makes some discoveries.

Summary
“Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.
The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—
An olive hits him square in the forehead.
“There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”
Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

Summary
Buck steps closer, takes the knife from Eddie’s hand, the movement careful and gentle, and sets it aside. “Hey,” he tilts his head into Eddie’s line of sight. “What’s going on?”
“You know that thing that’s been going around, about the sun?”
“The dimming thing? Eddie, that’s–”
“It’s not,” he cuts him off right away. “The sun is losing output, we have data. And not gradually, not in a way that gives us centuries – we’re talking a decade. Two, tops.”
Buck leans his hip against the counter beside him, crosses his arms over his chest. “…okay.”
“There’s a team that’s been on it and they think they have a lead on a solution. They need someone to go out there and retrieve whatever the thing is and bring it back.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
Eddie doesn’t have to look, but he does anyway. He owes Buck that much.
“It’s going to be a three person crew. A scientist, an engineer, and someone to fly the ship.”
The silence sits around Eddie’s neck, drawing tighter with every second that passes.
He can see the moment the words land.
“And that someone is you.”

Summary
Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.
The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.
Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.
-----
In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

Summary
It’s almost like — like Buck’s holding a possible thing in his hands, fragile and fledgling, born too early. It’s not the first time he’s felt this way, with Eddie. It’s happened before, mostly in kitchens.
“Did that guy tell you the name of the suite he put us in?”
The corner of Eddie’s mouth lifts. There, Buck supposes, is his answer.
“Yeah. Honeymooners, huh? Should we tell him about our disaster of a trip?”
His stomach lurches. God. Eddie’s taking this in stride; Buck should be thankful for it. Instead, he’s afraid he’ll be sick all over their shoes.
or: a pining buck has to navigate the Emotional Saw Trap that is the road trip back from new mexico. eddie, quite literally, comes along for the ride.

Summary
He wakes up with Eddie's arm thrown over his waist.
There's a pit in his stomach as soon as he opens his eyes, because the alarm is on again, the same radio station, the same song. The sunlight streaming into the room is buttery-soft, brand new because it's early. The alarm is ringing so they can take Chris to school. And—
He reaches out for the bedside table on his side of the bed they share, clumsily unplugs his phone one-handed. The screen lights up to a familiar wallpaper, and it's right there, just above the top of Buck's head: Wednesday.
or: buck breaks up with eddie, even if it means losing a part of himself, because it's the right thing to do. the universe decides to test that conviction.

Summary
"Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”
Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”
Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”
“No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”
Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”
——
Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.

Summary
“Sorry just paying for…”
“Table 12! I remember,” she injects brightly whilst ringing him up.
Eddie only winces slightly at the final count of the bill as he reaches into his wallet for his card.
“You have a gorgeous family.”
Eddie feels his face split into a wide grin. “Thank you.”
“How long have you and your husband been together?”
The words rattle around in Eddie’s head for a moment as he stammers like a fool, mid-swipe of his card. “I—Uh, seven…seven years.”
The waitress smiles brightly. “That’s so sweet, have a great rest of your day, sir.”
“Uh, yeah. Thanks.” Eddie places a fiver in the tip jar and spins right on his heels, leaving the cafe in a rush.
Who did she—did she mean? Buck?
OR
Eddie finds out how many times people have thought he and Buck were together and promptly spirals, realising that he wants to make it a reality.

Summary
Buck stands there, one hand holding up his towel. Then it hits him. “Wait… you haven’t kissed anyone before?”
Eddie blushes, spluttering, “No. Fuck—okay, I’ve kissed women. Jesus—I have a child, for fuck sake.”
“But, you haven’t kissed men?”
“No!”
“And you want to kiss me?”
“Yes!”
—
Or; Eddie loses a bet that tilts his entire worldview, and Buck—a really hot, twenty-six-year-old barista with curly hair and an eyebrow piercing—serves him his punishment for a week, which should be coffee for his colleagues… not a full-blown sexuality crisis at the age of thirty-three.

Summary
“It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”
“So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”
or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

Eddie huffs. It’s respectable and masculine, probably. “You know I’m not interested in—”
“Yes, Eddie, I know,” Buck drolls. “You’re off the horse. The meat market is closed. Your dick is on Do Not Disturb. I just think the pot shouldn’t be calling the kettle out,” he gestures between them with an emphatic finger, “for bad dates. Not when the pot is, ostensibly, a born-again virgin.”
“I’m not a born-again virgin,” Eddie grumbles. “Don’t start this again.”
“I’m not starting anything,” Buck lies. “I’m watching the movie.” Another lie. Then he flops unceremoniously back down, head strewn across Eddie’s clenched thighs.
Or: Buck’s mouth moves faster than Eddie’s brain.
