    Summary

    “You know he hates being called Evan, right?” Chris asks, walking past the adults to grab his water off the counter.

    “Chris, it’s fine.” Buck whispers to the teenager.

    “Sure, alright Timothy. Y'all ready to go?” Four months in Texas and he’s picked up the southern slang, and a bit more Spanish.

    “Christopher!”

     

    Or

    The family day for the LAFD fic that I pulled out of thin air. (I suck at summaries, sue me)

    Summary

    Buck, 27
    Firefighter

     

    What made me apply for Love is Blind? Uh, well, it's been a couple of months since my last serious relationship ended. Which was also my first serious relationship. But I feel like I'm ready for a real commitment. That, and one of my coworkers made me apply, so if this all goes wrong, blame Chimney.

     

    Eddie, 28
    Firefighter

     

    My sisters actually applied for me. They said it wouldn't be like other dating shows, that's its meant to be like a science experiment. My wife- sorry, my ex-wife, still getting used to it, divorced me fairly recently. I want to get back in the dating pool, but it's hard when you're a single dad. I'd like to find a real connection, and somehow this seems preferable to having my tía set me up on dates with her friends’ daughters.

     

    ***
    Buck and Eddie meet on Love is Blind, and find themselves more drawn to each other than the women they're supposed to be falling in love with.

    Summary

    “Okay, did you just come from the afterlife or whatever to insult me?”

    Eddie realizes he’s handling this surprisingly well. He should be freaking out way more. Maybe he’s just been through too much crazy shit to actually question anything anymore.

    “Oh no! But I’m very glad you ask. I’m here to get you to face yourself. And for that-” She clears her throat and the next couple of words she says come across very memorized. “Tonight you will be haunted by three spirits. And without-”

    “Wait, wait, wait,” Eddie interrupts. Because this is ridiculous. “You’re here to Christmas Carol me?”

    Shannon smiles. “Pretty much, yeah.” She shrugs.

    or: Eddie gets visited by three ghosts who help him realize that maybe, just maybe, he's not as straight as he thinks.

    Summary

    An Eddie sighting was rare too, and every time she actually spotted him he looked miserable and worn out. He had a mustache now, though, and Marisa wasn’t the biggest mustache fan (Jerry had tried once and she’d immediately made him shave it) but it kind of suited him. Made him look way gayer than before, though.

    His husband was the one Marisa saw the most, he came and went more, getting groceries and take out and going for a run every now and then. Sometimes there was a strange man with him, older, but also buff and she guessed it was probably a co-worker or something they got along with.

    or: Eddie Diaz is one of the more interesting neighbors Marisa has. She can't quite figure him out, but she knows he has the cutest kid in the world, really bad luck sometimes and he's happily married to his hot firefighter husband.
    (He's not.)

    Summary

    Look, it’s just- of course, rationally he knew, right? He knew that his grandparents were his dad’s parents, that’s literally how it works.

    He just never really- realized what that meant.

    But there are tears in his father’s eyes. And Chris remembers something he saw on TikTok a while ago: It’s his dad’s first time living too.

    And maybe…maybe he really has been a little hard on him. Shutting him out like that.

    “What, Eddie, of course we want you to be hap-” Abuela tries, but Chris’s dad doesn’t let her.

    “No,” he interrupts. “No, that’s not true. If you wanted me to be happy, you would’ve helped me. You would’ve let Christopher stay with you for…a month, maybe, to cool down, to get some distance, to get the space he needs. But then you…you would’ve tried, at least. To get us talking. To fix this. To mend what I broke.”

    He sounds devastated. So incredibly devastated. And Chris can’t help but think that…his dad kinda has a point there.

    Or: Eddie goes to Texas, Chris overhears something he shouldn’t have, Helena Diaz starts feeling as guilty as she fucking should, and somehow, somewhere in between it all turns out okay.
