Summary
The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)
Now with bonus chapters!
-
The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.
Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.- Language:

Summary
Geralt stands there and looks at them and wants. Wants what they have with each other, mostly, but here, seeing them so content without him, he can also admit that he wants them — both of them. He can’t have either, of course; that much is obvious even to him. But that doesn’t matter to his traitorous heart, which wants and wants and wants, which yearns for things he cannot have.
He doesn’t know how long he stands there, unable to tear himself away. He watches, and yearns, and only returns to his initial task when Yen snuffles and burrows further into Jaskier, his arms tightening around her even in sleep. It’s not his place to intrude.
Or: Jaskier and Yennefer keep joking about being married. Except from the outside, it doesn’t look like they’re joking.
Now with gorgeous fanart by Twindragons!

Summary
Eddie couldn’t look at the sympathetic tilt of Frank’s eyebrows for another second, so he trained his gaze over Frank’s shoulder. Ever since Chris had left, it had felt like the earth had stopped spinning. Like Eddie was frozen in time, forced to interminably live in the moment that his son had left him.
But as he looked out the window behind Frank, Eddie could see evidence of the world relentlessly marching on. There were trees swaying in the breeze, a woman walking down the sidewalk, pushing a stroller. In the distance, a plane took off into the cloudless blue sky. If he stood up to get a better view, Eddie would probably be able to see Buck’s Jeep in the parking lot below. He’d dropped him off forty minutes ago and promised to be there when Eddie was done.

Summary
“You’ve never had a kiss that set every nerve in your body on fire or a kiss that made you get butterflies in your stomach?”
Eddie laughs. “You watch too many romcoms, Buck.”
Buck scoffs and stares out the window for a few moments wondering what it would be like to never experience that type of rush when kissing someone. Sure. Most kisses don’t feel that way, but those with a build-up and all the long-lasting tension that finally snaps the moment you lay your lips on the other person…
“I’m going to make you experience it,” Buck blurts out.

or, during a shift on the Fourth of July, Buck makes it his mission to make Eddie experience fireworks when he gets kissedSeries

Summary
Buck nodded and slowed to a stop outside the house, shifting the car into park. He turned in his seat to flash Chris a smile. “We’ve arrived at your destination, good sir.” Chris giggled effusively, kicking his feet again.
“Thanks for the ride, Buck,” Eddie said, climbing out of the passenger seat. He appeared in the back a few moments later, pulling Chris’ crutches out first before unbuckling his son. “Say goodbye,” he told Chris.
Buck held his fist out for Chris to bump, getting caught off-guard by the way the seven-year-old wrapped both arms around the back of Buck's seat in a hug instead. There wasn't much Buck could do in the way of returning the embrace, try as he might, so he just had to settle for a pat on Chris' shoulder and an experimental ruffle of his golden curls.
Chris pulled away, million-watt smile on his face. “Thanks, Buck. It was nice meeting you.”
“You too, Chris,” Buck replied, a little breathless.

Summary
Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”
There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.
“Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.
Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”
“Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.
There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

The patrons around them cheer. Eddie digs his nails into Buck’s skin harsh enough to make him wince.
“Oh,” he breathes. “This is for couples.”

Chimney crosses his arms and looks at Buck. “What was it that you said to me and Maddie about how we were already a couple? Something about how ‘you always are talking and texting, you do karaoke together, you do Buff-Fridays together, and you finish each other’s sentences…’”
“You remember that with a shockingly high amount of detail,” Buck says trying to turn the conversation away from him.
“And Buck and I don’t do ‘Buff-Fridays’ together…”
“We do pasta and a movie with Chris,” Buck says, finishing Eddie’s sentence.
Hen and Chimney exchange a look.

Summary
“I’m really sorry, Eddie,” Buck says, quiet in the stillness. “I really am. I don’t know—I didn’t mean—”
Eddie holds up a hand to stop him. They’ve already gone over this, multiple times. Buck apologized to him again and again at the park, and sent a whole thread of apologies to Eddie via text while he was waiting at the hospital.
Buck doesn’t seem to realize that Eddie is all carrot and no stick. He pulled a dick move and fucked up Eddie’s ankle, and all Eddie has wanted to do since getting carted off to the ER is rush to reassure him.
A 7x04 alternate ending where Eddie goes to Buck’s loft instead of Tommy.

“This is the third fucking time that some random woman has asked me out in the past two weeks. I just want to pick up my son from school without being bothered.” Eddie groaned, dropping his forehead to the table in the loft with a thunk.
Hen smacked the back of his head as she walked past. “Quit whining, Diaz. You're hot. Deal with it.”
"I don't even know where they got the idea—”
“You told one of them you were single,” Buck chimed in from across the loft, looking a little sour. "Single moms are vultures."Or: Moms at Christopher's school keep flirting with Eddie, Buck gets prickly about it, and a bake sale clears it all up.

“To be honest, I’m not even sure what that would look like.”
“The night Athena and I finally went on our first date I realized something, and I think it will help you too: once you get out of your own way you start to see everyone and everything in a whole new light,” Bobby said. “One day, I just realized I didn’t need to hold all that guilt, and suddenly it became so clear what was right in front of me.”
Eddie scrunched his eyebrows together, letting that sink in. “Everyone?” he asked out loud after a moment.
Bobby got up, and walked back over to the kitchen, nodding back to Eddie, “Everyone.”
A few minutes later as Bobby got lunch cooking, Buck came bouncing up the stairs to investigate. “Hmmm, what smells so good, Cap?”

Summary
It had started off as a joke. Eddie had found some old motivational stickers digging through Chris’ old schoolwork he had saved from back when he was in elementary school. Most of the sticker sheets had been used up, but a few still had a couple “Nice Work!”, “Good Job!”, or “Radical!” stickers on them. He had slipped them in his pocket and forgotten about them until he was sitting down with Buck and Chris for dinner.
Buck had baked some chicken and tried out his own blend of herbs and spice that, quite honestly, blew Eddie away that Buck had just been seasoning by taste and feel. When Buck had turned to look at Eddie to ask how he liked it, instead of responding he peeled off a sticker that said “Out of This World!” and stuck it to Buck’s forehead.
---
Or, Eddie starts giving Buck motivational stickers every chance he can, Buck has a bit of a priase kink, and Eddie is just a supportive best bro who is most definitely heterosexual.
