Summary
Three things happen as Eddie walks through the door of the dentist’s office:
1. the entire waiting room turns to look at him as if they were expecting a celebrity
2. the flustered receptionist looks up, sees Eddie, and says “oh thank god”
3. what is unmistakably Buck’s voice booms down the hall, slurred, but clear as day
Or, Buck gets his wisdom teeth removed. He loves his family *very* loudly.

Summary
“It’s yours,” Eddie had finally said, looking down at it for a moment before handing the phone to him. “I… There’s a lot of stuff you might want to go through on there.”
Buck frowned, confused, but when he looked down at the screen, he saw it.
[250 missed calls]
[635 unread messages]“Wha–”
“A lot of people used it as a… A way to communicate with you while you were gone.”
Eddie’s voice was tense. Buck couldn’t stop staring, reading the top message from Eddie over and over again, the only one that he could see. It didn’t make sense.
“You don’t have to go through it all but… We missed you, ba– Buck.” Buck slowly looked up from his phone, and there was that look again. Eddie had reached out, the same way he had when Buck came back, fingers brushing across his face gently. Buck wanted to melt into it. He did, later, but in that moment, he had to keep himself together.
“I want to.”
“Okay,” Eddie’s hand had dropped. Buck’s skin felt cold. “Come get me when you’re done.”
OR
Buck gets blipped. Eddie's left behind. A love story told through what Eddie did in his absence.

Summary
“Gay Michael’s coming over for dinner tonight,” Bobby says conversationally, sliding a bowl of olives over to Buck.
Buck catches the bowl, and then freezes, eyes widening. “Gay… Michael? Since when do you call Michael Gay Michael?”
Ah. Well.
“It just slipped out,” Bobby admits. “I don’t usually.”
Buck’s eyebrows furrow, something like quiet devastation falling onto his face. “Cap, are— are you homophobic?”
At this, Bobby startles. “What? No. Gay Michael is my best friend.”
Or: Bobby calls it as he sees it.

Summary
He inspects the way Buck’s face sinks into his pillow, the way his thick arm rests over the comforter, hugging it to his body, the way his brow is still furrowed with tension.
God, he’s beautiful. Eddie shudders at the realization. It’s not like he had never given it a thought before, had never caught himself staring at Buck from across the room—but this is different. It’s not just admiration anymore. His heart warms in a way that makes him uncomfortable and unsure of what he’s feeling.
Subconsciously, he lets one hand reach out, thumb tenderly smoothing over the creases in Buck’s forehead. It’s almost casual, like it’s not a big deal. Like it’s just something he does, even though this moment is anything but casual.
Like he’s not blurring the lines of their relationship right now, like a wave washing over drawings in the sand.or the one where Eddie takes care of Buck when he's being plagued by a bad migraine.

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.

“Can you open your eyes?”
“No. I can’t look at you.”
“Because I’m gay?”
Buck sighs dramatically.
“Because you’re pretty. And because you’re gay. Because you’re gay and pretty.”
“Buck,” Eddie laughs. “Open your eyes.”
Or, Eddie comes out to Buck. Buck panics. Hijinks ensue.

It doesn’t take long for Buck to be cleared to leave. He’s given antibiotics for the water he swallowed, a handful of bandages to cover shallow wounds, and instructions to take it easy. Horror clenches in his stomach. Eddie is gone and he gets off with Advil and a nap.

Summary
“It’ll go fine.” Howie advised. “I don’t like the idea of you being there alone,” he joked with a small little smile. “But it’ll be okay.”
“I’m not alone.” Maddie teased with a matching smile of her own.
“You’re right.” Howie conceded. “You have our scary baby girl to hold everyone off.”
Maddie snorted. “I meant -.”
“I know what you meant.” Howie sobered. “I like the idea of him being there even less.”
Maddie’s stomach jolted. “Do you think I made a mistake?” She asked cautiously. “Should I have told him not to come?”
Howie waved a hand to the side. “Nah,” he shrugged. “We both know Buck’s going to Buck.”

Summary
They’d promised each other, sworn blind that they wouldn’t let him get a rise out of them. That they weren’t going to snap and give Gerrard and his ugly ass presence what he wanted.
Despite that promise, the following shift they all had after Buck being wrung out, it happened.
“What in the hell is that?” Gerrard’s arms were folded, eyes narrowed, looking to all the world a villain from an 1800s children’s novel.
Eddie, who Buck had never seen quite so obviously looking to start something, turned on his heel from the coffee machine, the shadow of a smirk written across his face.
“What’s what?” Eddie asked coolly, as if he didn’t have a caterpillar crawling along his upper lip to match Gerrard’s.
OR - Eddie is a little unhinged since Christopher left. When Buck gets yelled at for having facial hair, Eddie makes a spectacle out of his own.

Summary
"Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”
“I’m not leaving you.”
“What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”
For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.
Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.
Thinking of all the things she would lose.
OR
Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.

Summary
Never in his eight-year career in this league had Alex witnessed such an intense and melodramatic reaction to a trade. In theory, he knew that Henry Fox was considered a big deal, but that didn’t mean that he understood why.
The fact of the matter was that he knew exactly who Henry Fox was.Henry Fox, Son of Hockey Royalty.
Henry Fox, the bane of Alex’s existence.
or, a professional hockey au where nhl superstars alex and henry have been rivals since they were sixteen years old. eleven years later, in a move that completely rocks the entire NHL and its fanbase, they become teammates. alex swears to himself that he just wants to keep his head down, stay in his own lane and play hockey. but, well, alex has never been good at doing either of those things when it comes to henry fox. a few mishaps and a round of damage control later force them to put their differences aside for the sake of their team, and if it also has alex reconsidering his stance on fox quite substantially, that’s no one’s business but his own, right?

Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.
