    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

    The voice had always been around, Eddie remembers it, like a stream of consciousness that babbled incoherently to the point where Eddie just tuned it out. 

    But then the voice started speaking directly to him. Conversing like he was a whole person standing right in front of him. Like he could see what was happening around Eddie.

    Eddie shook his head. No one was talking to him, and Eddie most certainly was not talking back.

    He wouldn’t talk to the boy in his head ever again. There was no boy in his head.

    Summary

    “Remember how Ravi said I needed to get laid?” Buck asks at last.

    Karen gasps, her hand coming to cover her mouth in shock. “Buck. You didn’t,” she sighs.

    “What, you—” Hen looks like she can’t believe her ears, shaking her head. “You slept with your future nanny during the interview?

    “That’s highly unprofessional,” Karen adds with a concerned frown.

    Okay. Well. Maybe Buck shouldn’t have started there. “No! I— It was before, okay?”

    Hen squints her eyes, trying to understand. “So, this man turns up to your house, you say hi, you have sex, and then you start asking about his former employers’ references?”

    Or: Buck needs a nanny. Eddie is desperatly looking for a job. They might end up finding more than they asked for.

    “Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”

    Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.

    Evan isn't sure what his life will look like once he finally gets out of Hershey. He's daydreamed about a life; a job he loves, people he trusts, a family that might actually want him around.

    Summary

    “Listen,” Daniel shifted, his white coat creasing at the elbows. “He's enamored... With the idea of being a firefighter, that is.” Daniel filled in as though Eddie had asked for more information.

    “Daniel.” Maddie said in a stern, curt tone. “Stop it.”

    “I just think he should know.” Daniel gestured lazily, but defended passionately. “Evan can't do it.”

    “Have you ever been told you’re a carrier?”

    Buck blinks, the words not processing right in his brain.

    Summary

    Buck knew B Shift had been rough on the gear, it was mentioned during hand over, but he hadn't expected only one working harness for a cliffside rescue.

    Or anything that came after the harness snapped and he fell to the water below. But how was he to expect a Pod of man-hating Mermaids or that they couldn't just let him leave?

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Buck hated his birthday.

    At least, that was what he told himself.

    He just never had much of a reason to celebrate. Instead, it became another day for him to drag himself through and hope he made it to the other side unscathed. With his luck, it was always easier said than done.

    Somehow, every time his birthday rolled around, the universe decided he needed a slap to the face. A reality check. He never fought back and, after a while, came to accept that his birthday would never be anything other than a painful memory.

    So, no, he didn’t hate his birthday.

    His birthday hated him.

    Summary

    As beginnings go... theirs could have gone so much better.


    "Finally giving in, Buck dropped the weights and spun to face Diaz with a snarl. “What?”
    “What, man?” Diaz replied taken aback, his eyes snapping up from Buck’s chest to his face quickly.
    “Like what you see or something, Diaz?”
    “Sorry, no.” Buck raised an eyebrow, strangely disappointed in his answer."

    The story of two men trying, failing, and maybe eventually succeeding in navigating their developing relationship while life throws absolutely everything at them. From girlfriends to wives; bombs to natural disasters; a lot of angst and unbearable pining; can they get through all the hardships to come together?

    Summary

    He hasn’t gotten around to telling Buck about them being mates, or the whole… werewolf thing in general, but he’s working on it!

    Werewolves are not known by the public, which is arguably the biggest hurdle. They still hide in the shadows, not willing to risk their existence becoming common knowledge in fear of what the consequences might be. Secrecy was something that had been drilled into his head as soon as he could understand what he was; keeping their gift a secret was the most important rule of their kind, and he’s hammered the same rule into Chris’ head once the boy learned what they were.

    So, he will tell Buck, of course. Has to, if he wants to complete their bond - which he absolutely does - it’s just a matter of figuring out the best way to do so.

    Or: In a world where werewolves exist and the Diaz family are all shifters, the aftermath of the tsunami might have looked a little bit different.

    Summary

    He rises to the surface again, poking his muzzle up above the murky waves to take a breath. He’s edging into the shallower waters now, trees and roofs peeking up above the water. He can even see a few patches of muddy land, the tops of hills slowly uncovering.

    He’s about to dip back under, spotting the top of a church a little ways away, when he hears something.

    A faint whimper, soft and keening.

    Summary

    Buck’s not really sure what to say here, so he doesn’t say anything. For a minute they stand there in total silence, the TV muted, and looking at Eddie – the defeated slump of his shoulders, the hand over his mouth, the eyes staring blankly at nothing – it’s like those modern art installations one of Buck’s exes used to take him to: Man, with broken heart.

    Man, eviscerated.

    Buck’s no good with people being sad around him – it always feels like his responsibility, like if they aren’t smiling it’s his fault, and this time it really is his fault, at least partially, so he offers, “You can beat me up, if it would make you feel better.”

    Summary

    “Buck—” Eddie breathed as he hurried over, “Hey, Buck—”

    Buck lifted his eyes, they widened when he met Eddie’s gaze, “Eddie, I—” He tried to move, but was easily pulled back, “I’m sorry.”

    Eddie rushed to reassure, “It’s okay, look…” He got onto one knee, sitting Christopher down, he looped his arms under his son’s, and turned him, so that he was facing Buck, “Look who it is.”

    Christopher extended his hand, gently laying it across Buck’s cheek, “Buck.”

    Summary

    Still off balance, Buck slams his left heel onto the roof, heaving forward to catch the collar of that yellow shirt. And there’s no conscious decision making here. It’s all instinct, and he’s grateful for it. If he’d given his overzealous mind the chance to consider another way, he would have missed his shot. Instead, his arms hurl the boy into the hands of another survivor...

    And his right foot misses the edge.

    OR

    Buck catches Chris before he rolls off the firetruck, and it's him who falls back into the retreating waters of the tsunami. Unconscious and seriously injured, he's unaware that his team has been searching for him, never giving up as the days pass.
