    Summary

    “Sometimes I wish. I wish I didn’t care so much, you know? Like I could—cut him out of whatever part of me it is that clings too hard. The part that makes me feel…”

    He trails off, tilting his head back towards the crib. Baby Bobby is asleep, his sweet face turned towards Buck like he’s still chasing the cadence of his voice in sleep.

    Summary

    “What’s– what’s wrong with Eddie?” Buck all but collapses next to Eddie, voice panicked. Blinking down at the floor, Eddie can see Buck’s hands hover in front of him, like he’s scared to touch him. 

    “I— I don’t know,” Chim stutters, misery plain in his voice. “I think I broke him.” 

    “What did you say to him?” 

    “I, uh— may have told him you were grievously injured. But I was just—“ 

    “You what?” 

    “Listen, it was a tense situation–” 

    “Jesus, just– go,” Buck says. Pleads, almost. “Go, I’ve– I’ve got this. Please.” 

    Or: Eddie and Buck stop speaking entirely. Chim intervenes.

    Summary

    50 First Dates AU

    “It still sounds like a nightmare. You know, starting over every day. Always doing the same thing, making the same mistakes. Never having a chance to learn or make a different decision. Shouldn't it be when you're at your worst, they're at their worst, you have every reason to give up, and you still decide you want to try again?”
    -Evan Buckley, Season 5 Episode 18

    OR

    After the ladder truck bombing, Buck loses the ability to form and maintain new memories. Every day is a new challenge but everything changes when Eddie Diaz joins the 118, one year later than he was supposed to.

    Summary

    “Okay, this is—” Eddie runs a hand through his hair, growing increasingly distressed, “you guys are purposely missing the point here. Buck, I’m not getting high with you, dude.”

    “Uh, why not?” Buck asks, tilting his head. He has the audacity to sound genuinely puzzled.

    “We can’t. We’re firefighters,” Eddie says, confused that Buck is confused.

    Buck gives him a sad smile. “Not right now, we aren’t. And we won’t be, Eddie, not for a while.”

    Buck and Eddie get injured on the job and decide to smoke a lot of weed about it.

    OH MAN this was a wild ride from start to finish!! Beautifully captures Eddie's psyche as he and Buck match each other's freak in the most tender way possible while being totally oblivious about it and high af

    A journey of healing, 10/10 I'll be thinking about this for days and I hope I never recover from the insanity this induced in me 💕💕💕💕💕💕

    Summary

    Buck’s taking him to therapy, where he knows Eddie’s therapist’s name and Eddie’s entire history with him; Buck, who let himself into Eddie’s house with food from Eddie’s favorite coffee shop with coffee crafted perfectly for Eddie’s tastes; Buck, who apparently has a book on Eddie’s coffee table with so many dog-eared pages it’s like any interruption at Eddie’s house is worth putting it down.

    Buck, who touches him with a devotion as palpable as all the little pieces of himself scattered throughout Eddie's home.

    Eddie thinks he might have solved his own question, but he’s afraid to look at the answer too closely—because he’s fairly certain his best friend is in love with him, and Eddie can’t remember a single thing about him.

    Or, the one where Eddie wakes up from the shooting only to think he was hurt in a certain 7.1 earthquake years prior and learns to appreciate the life he's created for himself since then.
