    Summary

    Eddie has finally relaxed, finally convinced himself that this is all just a funny coincidence, when the man looks up and locks eyes with Eddie.
    No.
    Fuck.
    No, no, no.
    This cannot be happening.

    ===

    At 14 years old, Eddie Diaz's best friend loses his memories. Forgets all about him and moves away. Eddie's fine. He's moved on with his life. He's made peace with losing Evan Buckley.
    Until he starts his new job as an LAFD firefighter and comes face to face with everything he's been repressing for 13 years.

    Summary

    "I'm Buck."

    "Buck," Eddie tests the name out. Buck. He likes that name. It sounds good, warm and safe and comfortingly familiar on his tongue. "You're my husband."

    Buck's eyes widen, obviously surprised that Eddie remembered that. See, look? He's recovering remarkably quickly. He'll have his full memory back in no time.

    "Your husband," Buck repeats and Chris, for some reason, starts giggling.

    "My husband," Eddie agrees happily.

    -

    Eddie suffers temporary amnesia after an injury at work and makes some assumptions about the nature of his and Buck's relationship.

    Summary

    “Eddie, I am definitely not going to date anyone else now,” Buck said, straightening up and frowning.

    Eddie could feel himself flush, hating once again that his cheeks always showed his feelings. “I mean, you can,” he stuttered. “This doesn’t change anything—”

    “Why do you always say that?” Buck snapped, pulling back. Another tear crested his waterline on the other side and he sniffled and swiped at it furiously with one hand. “That—that nothing will change. I tell you something life-changing and you assure me nothing will change,” Buck said, looking devastated. “I want things to change, Eddie. I want you to want things to change. I want you to want things, period.”

    -

    OR: one year, two funerals, one LAFD gala, and approximately a dozen times Eddie had to sigh and say “Yes, it’s Buck’s.”

    Summary

    “You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”

    Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.

    “Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”

    Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”

    ----

    Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.

    Summary

    Hen is relatively certain she has their new probie, Buck, figured out. Him saying he has a husband throws her for a loop, but who hasn't lied to a naked man in handcuffs flirting with them before? But Buck only gets more confusing from there.

    Summary

    Of course, it takes a few moments for him to realize that beyond this whole internal Mess (and yes, that’s in capital letters. Defining things as a demigod makes them a requirement) he’s figures out the reason for the Mist.

    “Who the hell is that?” he asks, mostly so that he can finally put a name to the new Wrong that’s wormed its way into his life.

    Buck doesn’t see it, he’s too busy staring at six-pack candyland to turn around, but he can hear the smile in Bobby’s voice as he says, “It’s Eddie Diaz. New recruit. Graduated top of his class just this week.” He goes on to talk about something else. Station Six. Dying to have him. All sorts of stuff that Buck just doesn’t want to listen to.

    He’s a bit busy mulling over this scrap of information.

    See, Buck officially has a Problem. A Mist using enigma of a Problem.

    And his name is Eddie Diaz.
    ----------
    Or, the one where Ancient Greek gods are very real, Buck and Eddie are demigods (so are a few other people), and everyone is very confused.

    (AKA: The PJO!AU no one asked for that somehow turned into 20k of awesome.)

    Summary

    In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker.

    Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.

    Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

    Summary

    "It's not what it looks like," Buck blurts.

    Bobby's eyebrows reach for his hairline. "So you weren't violating the one-firefighter-per-shower regulation?"

    "We," Buck sputters. "I mean, okay, yeah. We were, but we—"

    "We were figuring out breakfast," Eddie cuts in.

    "Well, next time, figure it out in different stalls."

    Summary

    Summary

    He is thirteen when he first realizes something is wrong.

    Not wrong in the sense that he is sick or injured, but wrong in that something was fundamentally missed in the creation of, well, him. Somewhere, some god or the fates or power of a kind forgot to erase something when putting together the pieces that made Percy Jackson Percy Jackson.

    Someone’s memories.

    -

    Percy Jackson is the demigod son of Poseidon. But he is also someone else, someone who should be long dead, and who he should not remember being. This presents a few problems. Namely: what do you do when you were reborn incorrectly?

    Summary

    The biggest reason, the reason Eddie won’t give this nurse, is that they want it. Buck wants a baby, wants Eddie’s baby, wakes Eddie up in the middle of the night with the wanting of it, and Eddie — Eddie gave Buck his firstborn years ago. He doesn’t see any reason why they should delay it again.

    --

    Buck and Eddie are going to have a baby. And Eddie's happy, he is. He's never been happier in his life. He just can't stop thinking about all the mistakes he made the first time around.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was intimately familiar with death. It hung in the air around him, lived under his skin.
    It was the reason he'd been born in the first place.
    Maybe it had seemed like some awful cosmic joke to his parents when they'd found out the source of his magic. It could have been anything.
    It just had to be death.

    Eddie Diaz doesn't know how to be a werewolf.
    Which is unfortunate, given he's been one all his life. He brought his son to LA to get away from it all, but he couldn't run from what he was.

    Death Mage Buck and Werewolf Eddie find one another at the 118.

    Summary

    “Eddie, you’re scaring me,” Buck says in the quiet of the room. “Do you-- do you know what day it is?”

    “Friday,” Eddie answers, tongue thick like his throat is stuffed with cotton.

    “Yeah,” Buck confirms. “And-- do you know my full name?”

    Eddie swallows. “Evan Buckley,” he says definitively, but--

    He finally turns to look at Buck’s face, and it’s like he’s waiting for Eddie to keep going. Like Eddie had gotten it wrong. Buck’s face melts, his brows pinched together, and Eddie--

    He doesn’t know what the hell is going on.

    -----

    Eddie loves every version of Buck. And Buck? Well, he’s starting to realize every version of Buck loves him right back. If only Eddie could get back home to tell him that.

    Summary

    “Did you hear about the wolf attack on the full moon two years ago? That hiker found with his arm ripped to pieces,” Chimney says, an obvious ploy to cheer Buck up. It says a lot about Buck or a lot about Chimney that violent tragedy is meant to cheer Buck up. “Has anybody checked that guy to make sure he doesn’t go awoooo during his special time of the month?”

    Eddie can already tell it’s not going to work, so he reaches across the gap between their seats to clasp a hand to Buck’s shoulder, his thumb close but not quite touching the vulnerable skin of his neck. If he presses hard enough, he can almost make himself feel the phantom ropes of raised skin from when Buck was left with a jagged lightning scar across his shoulder, matching yet way cooler than Eddie’s sad excuse for bullet dug and fang mauled shoulder scars. It has the desired effect, and he relaxes under the weight of Eddie’s hand.

    “There are no wolves in Southern California,” Buck states, another bit of trivia. He just doesn’t know it’s a lie.

    “Seriously, can you just leave and wait for me on the ground? This is a waste of your time.”

    “It’s not going to be a waste of my time once you stop being ridiculous about this and just fly down!” Eddie snaps, grabbing for Buck’s gear again.

    Buck knocks his hands away once more, crossing his arms even tighter across his chest. “Eddie, I can’t!”

    Dios, Buck! Earlier, you didn’t want to, didn’t think you could, and now you can’t? You can’t? Well, that isn’t going to work. I’m not fucking leaving you here, so unless you want someone to have to tell Chris how we both burned to death because you were too stubborn to try flying, I need you to work with me.”

    And then, in Los Angeles, 2018, Eddie had met Buck. Then, huddled over a man with a bomb in his leg, Eddie had needed gauze and Buck’s hand had moved. Then, in the parking lot bathed in the light of an ambulance on fire, Buck had inhaled and Eddie's lungs expanded. And, well, that was that.
