Summary
“I’m just saying, you definitely don’t look old enough to have a teenager,” the dad says, nodding towards Chris again. “How old are you, kid? Fourteen?”
Chris is staring at him now, too, grip tight around his crutches. “Fifteen?” he says, but it comes out more like a question than a genuine answer. He’s just as confused as Buck feels.
The dad lets out a low whistle. “Seriously, man,” he laughs, talking to Buck again. “Fifteen? You look good. I bet your wife is jealous as hell, though. It’s like you copy and pasted yourself.”
Oh.
Oh.
“Oh, I’m not—” Buck starts, his brain finally catching up to this confusing conversation. “He’s not—“
The dad’s eyes grow wide. “Oh,” he breathes, wincing. “Oh shit, my bad. I just assumed—I mean, you two just look so much alike.”

Summary
“My mom died,” Buck says flatly, like reciting a fact he read somewhere. He adds a small shrug, as if that explains it. It doesn’t feel real. The words sit in the air, weightless and strange.
Eddie frowns. Bobby shifts closer.
“Are you okay?” Bobby asks gently.
Buck blinks at him, then gives a quick nod, too fast to be convincing. “Yeah,” he says. His voice is thin, brittle. “Did you want me to start lunch? I was thinking maybe that cheesy broccoli bake.”
Eddie’s brows knit together. “Buck…” he says carefully, voice low and steady.
“Or chili,” Buck continues, his hands smoothing out a crease in his jacket like that’s the thing that matters. “I think we’ve got enough ground beef.”
“Buck,” Eddie says again, firmer this time.
Buck’s hands still. He finally looks up, meeting Eddie’s eyes.
Oh.
His mom died.
or
Margaret Buckley dies, and Buck tries to navigate grief, develops a complex relationship with apple pie, while Eddie, as always, is there.

Summary
“Buck—”
“Chris was taken,” Buck pushes on, voice cracking as the words spill out of him. He takes another step back and Eddie feels the loss immediately, his body turning cold in Buck’s absence. He resists the urge to pull him back into his arms. “Your son was taken, Eddie, and I tried, so hard, to be there for you today, and not to make this about me—”
Eddie’s stomach drops, guilt crashing into him like a wave. He feels sick.
Or, a speculation fic for the events in s09e11.

Summary
The motel with only one bed, apparently.
“I’m sorry, what?” Eddie asks, blinking to make sure he’s heard him correctly. “There must’ve been a mixup. I’m sure our captain asked for two?”
“Howard Han, right? LA?” The guy at the office asks. David, his name tag reads.
“Yes,” Buck says, sounding strained.
“Nope—one bed. He specifically said one bed.” David blinks at them.
“I’m going to kill him,” Buck mutters.
