Summary
Bobby Nash wasn’t sure what he had expected from his first foster child. Maybe he thought Evan would be some sort of teenage delinquent. Maybe the kid would think he was too old to be parented or be mean to May and Harry. Maybe he would run away or try to get moved to a different home. Maybe he would be nothing but trouble and make Bobby and Athena regret fostering in the first place. They should have just stuck to the plan and gotten a younger kid like Athena had wanted.
But what Bobby didn’t expect was for the social worker to show up at their house at nine o’clock at night. He didn’t expect for the kid by her side to simultaneously look way too young for 14 and at the same time so much older. Evan was curled in on himself, making him seem far smaller than he should be but the fear and wariness in his eyes was something far too mature for him. Bobby didn’t expect for his first foster child to stand there on his porch, shivering in the pouring rain with nothing but a sweatshirt and a blooming black eye on his face. But what he certainly didn’t expect was for the kid to worm his way into his heart so quickly.

Summary
Ravi looks faintly murderous. He’s also drunk, so he looks like a very pissed baby duck. Buck wisely doesn’t say that to him.
“I did not sit through a drunk forty minute Introduction to Evan Buckley: Everything You Need to Know in your absence for you to tell me he doesn’t like tequila,” Ravi scowls at Eddie. “Literally every time he’s dragged me out to drink we’ve had tequila! Because he loves tequila and hates the way beer tastes!”
“Ravi,” Buck says neutrally, but he’s trying to blow him up with his mind.
Ravi glares at him, and then understanding dawns upon his face. “Which I was not supposed to tell you about,” he blushes scarlet. “Point fifty-four. Right.”
— eddie finds out buck hates beer. buck suffers.
or,
ravi lets slip that buck's hated beer for eight years, and eddie handles it just as well as you'd expect.Bookmarked by Readitwatchitwriteit

Summary
“Oh,” Eddie yells after him, tone almost mocking. “So that’s it? You’re just going to walk away?”
Buck stops, biting down on his cheek. He knows, distantly, that they’re making a scene. That everyone who isn’t actively putting what’s left of the fire out can see and hear everything they’re saying. He sighs. “I don’t know why you’re so pissed,” he mutters, twisting back around to face him just in time to see Eddie’s eyebrows rise high up on his forehead.
“You don’t know why I’m pissed?” Eddie asks, stepping towards him.
Shit. He needs to walk away before this blows up. They’re one throw away comment from explosion.
Buck whips back around, taking a step towards the engine and away from Eddie. “That’s what I said,” he calls over his shoulder. Which—maybe, isn’t the thing to say to cool things down.
But—
“I’m pissed,” Eddie shouts back, voice frayed and desperate, “Because I fucking love you.”

Summary
“Yeah, about that.” Harry interrupted, and May sighed. So much for subtlety, she supposed. “You and Eddie.”
“Are best friends.” He answered, with the finality of a conversation finished.
Buck might be used to being the annoying little brother, and May might be used to being the tired older sister, but Harry was ready in a way May had to find a little funny.
“I was going to say super gay.” Harry answered casually.
Buck sputtered. “I’m bisexual and you know I’m bisexual.”
“Okay and what’s his excuse?”
OR -
Harry and May take it upon themselves to use their weekly Bachelor nights to parent trap Buck and Eddie.

Summary
Buck’s skin was draining pale. The fact that he didn’t scream when the tourniquet tightened was a bad sign. Really bad. Buck was so gone already, and they still had to make it out of this basement.
Buck whispered, “So… go,” like it was obvious: leave Buck behind. Like saving Chris was all that mattered.
“What about me?” Eddie asked under his breath. “Huh? What about you?”
-OR-
The 118 responds to a fire at the building where Chris's class is having a field trip. When Chris is left in the building while it burns, Buck races inside to get him out. Buck is injured. Then Eddie has feelings. He isn't eloquent. But we know what he means.

Summary
Buck is about to drop it, but he notices that Eddie’s fingers are turning white where they’re squeezing each other. And Buck thinks, something’s about to get punched.
“You sure you’re not mad about something else?”
“Not mad.”
“’Cause… Chim kind of thought you might bring me home. Keep an eye on me while I recover.”
“No,” Eddie answers swiftly, “I was never going to do that.”
-OR-
Buck gets struck by lightning, and Eddie doesn't want to look at him. Buck tries not to spiral in a restaurant bathroom, and Eddie doesn't want to leave him. Buck is so certain he's looking for something, and Eddie doesn't want to clue him in... Except he does. He so does. For like seven whole episodes, Buck processes. Eddie pines.
The post-lightning strike Buddie arc I (we?) deserved. This fic covers 6x11 through 6x18 with altered/extended or added scenes in each episode. Assume that any canon that isn't referenced stays exactly the same.

Summary
Moving to LA and joining the LAFD, Eddie had planned to keep his head down. His only plan was to get through his shifts, take care of his son, and figure out this whole "single dad" gig for the sake of his little boy. He didn't plan to focus all that much on making new friends. He certainly didn't plan to keep date-crashing Carla's handsome teacher-friend with the birthmark just over his eye.
~~~
Eddie barely has time to start the car before Chris is asking, "Dad, did you know dinosaurs had feathers?"
Eddie chuckles, setting the radio to a nineties station on low volume, "I did not know that, bud."
"It's true! Buck told me!" But with Chris's youthful lisp the name was still pronounced like "Duck."
"Oh, well if Buck said so it must be true," Eddie snorts.
"Hey," Buck gave Eddie a light smack on his shoulder, "I'll have you know I'm a trusted source for information."
Eddie can't help but smirk back, "And with you saying so, it must be true."

Summary
When Maddie showed up at the one-eighteen covered in bruises and needing a place to stay, Buck didn't hesitate to let her into his home and the new life he had created in L.A. While he was happy to have his sister back, he was tired of insisting to her that he wasn't as lonely as she accused him of being. So when she assumes he's in some secret relationship with his coworker and best friend, Eddie, Buck decides it couldn't hurt to tell a little white lie, especially when it meant his sister could focus on something that wasn't her own past.
Now Buck is stuck trying to navigate through a ruse of his own creation while dealing with newfound feelings for his best friend that seemed to sneak up on him.
Oh, and did he mention the mysterious accelerant that kept finding itself in his path, putting everyone he loves in danger?

Summary
“You had sex with Tommy in my house, in my room,” Eddie spits. “I think I’m allowed to be pissed.”
“No,” Buck growls. “You don’t get to do this, Eddie. It wasn’t your house anymore, it wasn’t your room, it was mine because you left!” He clenches his fist, his own anger taking over. “You left me.”
“I had to go to Christopher,” Eddie crosses his arms over his chest, eyes so cold Buck shivers. “You know that.”
“I’m not talking about Texas and you know it,” Buck argues. “You lost the right to judge whom I have sex with six years ago, when you broke up with me.”Or Buck and Eddie went on two dates six years ago, they fight about it because Eddie's jealous of Tommy

Summary
“What the fuck, Buck. Look at us! We don’t do this, man. You can’t just up and leave after things get hard!” Eddie wasn’t sure how to stop being angry, how to not put everything on Buck, but his best friend leaving sure wasn’t helping.
“Oh, but you can?” Buck snarled and Eddie looked at him in disbelief.
“You…No. We’ve been over this. I know that you don’t think that I…” Eddie was lost for words but Buck quickly started speaking instead.
“That you what, Eddie? That you didn’t leave? That you haven’t changed? That we haven’t changed? Because we sure as hell did. And El Paso wasn’t the first time you did it. It is your fucking thing."
Or
In the midst of their grief, Buck and Eddie fell out of their usual rhythm and went into two completely different directions. After a fight that took way too much from both of them and after the news that Eddie and Chris were staying in LA, Buck decided to move out and leave this thing between him and Eddie behind.
Or
Buck and Eddie have another divorce era right after the events of s8e17. We ignore everything that happened after that episode. Chris is a sweetheart, Maddie Buckley-Han is amazing and Tommy is only here as a plot device.

Summary
Buck accidentally serves Eddie with divorce papers.
Eddie was standing in the living room, phone clenched in his hand. He didn’t yell. Not yet. He held the phone up, screen glowing, and said very clearly, “Why am I getting divorce papers?”
Buck froze. His smile vanished, eyes widening as recognition hit all at once. His brain scrambled, pieces clicking together too late. “Oh,” Buck said. “It really was that easy?”
Eddie’s jaw tightened.
Buck took a step forward automatically, hands lifting like he could calm this with his body alone. “Okay, so, hear me out—”

Summary
Buck’s . . . not sure how he got here.
He knows how he got here, it’s just the here of the matter that’s got him five degrees south of a full mental breakdown partnered up with the full scale collapse of the most important relationship in his life. Because Eddie—Eddie’s doing him a favor—and Buck’s body, Buck’s traitorous fucking body is assigning a level of intimacy to all this that’s so beyond warranted, Eddie’d be up and across the room before Buck could clear his throat if he had even the slightest sliver of suspicion.
Which is to say—
Eddie’s straddling Buck’s back, hands digging into the meat of Buck’s thigh, working out the aches from one of the most exhausting shifts he’s ever been on—and that is including any shifts featuring the Q word—because he’d been kind and caring enough to notice that Buck’d been favoring his good leg towards the end of the shift. His thighs are bracketing Buck’s, and Buck, god, Buck can feel every shift and flex of those thighs as he leans forward and shifts his weight.
--
Or, Eddie makes Buck tell him what he needs.

Summary
“How long have you known?”
Maddie reaches for the phone, and Chimney waves her off, shaking his head. “Depends. What exactly is it that I know?”
Another pause, followed by a sigh that just about says everything on its own. “I think I’m in love with Buck.”
Instinctively, he reaches out for Maddie, nodding, as he pulls the phone away and mouths "it’s happening" at her. He opens his eyes wide, which he hopes translates to about a million exclamation points tacked onto the silent statement.

or, it's happening!!!

Summary
May glances up at him, raising an eyebrow. “Yes?”
He drops the fork, leans back in the booth, and stares at her—can feel how wide his eyes are, how tense his jaw is; the thrum of anxiety racing through his limbs and tip-tapping and shaking every surface he’s touching. He can’t stop it, though. He can’t stop it because—
He leans forward, grabbing the fork and spearing through a particularly fluffy glob of scrambled egg. “Eddie kissed me last night,” he says, quietly, carefully—it feels a bit like it’s being pulled from him, like if he doesn’t say it right here, right now, he might actually explode, but he doesn’t know how to say it, because it doesn’t make sense.
It doesn’t make sense.
And this--May’s the only one who can help him make it make sense.
--
Or Buck highjacks his and May's weekly breakfast.
