Summary
Eddie took the calendar off the wall and flipped the page on the first day of the month, barely even thinking about it, before suddenly dropping it on his bedroom floor.
Because there— in astounding quality— was Buck. A shirtless Buck, even, holding an axe, arms and pecs and tattoos and happy trail visible and glistening for the whole world to see.
(or, it's July, but Eddie's calendar is still stuck on March)

Summary
“What is all this?” Eddie asks. “When did you get a telescope?”
“Oh, years ago. Remember Christopher’s astronomy phase in sixth grade? We never had a chance to set it up, I honestly forgot about it until I moved here and Maddie said I had to stop storing everything in her garage. I’ve been waiting for the perfect night to set it up, and here we are!”
“You…” Eddie frowns, mind racing. “Wait, you got this for Chris?”
“Of course I did. I’m just sorry that we never got the chance to use it before,” Buck says. “Better late than never, right?”
(or, stargazing in Buck's backyard, but Eddie would rather look at Buck)

Summary
“I wanted you to hear it from a friend,” Maddie says.
I don’t want to hear it at all, Eddie thinks, curling into himself as if that can shield him from the words that she has to say. I just saw him, he thinks, remembering the way Buck smiled at him in his dream and wondering if that’s the only way he’ll get to see his smile again.
(or, Maddie calls Eddie to tell him some news. He jumps to conclusions.)

Summary
Buck grins. “Sophia promised to teach me how to make tamales, so we need the kitchen.”
Sophia loves bossing Eddie around, he just assumed she would use him for any help she needed. That’s what they always do. But if she is teaching Buck how to make them…
That could really only mean one thing.
“Tamales?” he asks, hand shaking slightly as he takes a drink.
“Yeah!”
Eddie stares at Buck’s smile, at his beautiful, oblivious smile. So. This was Sophia’s endgame. She’s not just here to steal his best friend for herself. She’s here to steal his best friend for herself and marry him and live happily ever after while Eddie watches with a broken heart.
(or, Sophia is teaching Buck a recipe reserved for family. Eddie has a very normal reaction to this.)

Summary
“What, so you’re allowed to ask me how I'm doing but I can’t ask you?”
Eddie laughs, staring at his coffee. “It’s not that, I just…I mean, it’s different, for you.”
“And it’s different for you. Sure, I’m his sister, but you’re his…”
Maddie hesitates for only a second, but his gaze snaps up to her, and she breaks off before she can decide how to complete that sentence.
“Best friend,” he finishes. It sounds insufficient even to his own ears.
(or, the Eddie and Maddie conversation we deserved post 9.15)

Summary
Bobby clears his throat, flustered. “Nothing you say will convince me to let you engage in PDA in this firehouse.”
“But outside of the firehouse is okay?” Buck pitches. “Like, for instance, in the engine?”
“Absolutely not,” Bobby says sternly. Buck deflates. “Just… find it within yourselves to be professional for the rest of the shift. Please.”
“It’s okay, Cap,” Eddie says, with a smile equal parts charming and reassuring. “We’ll behave. Right, Buck?”
“Yeah,” Buck agrees— not because he wants to, but because he’s pretty sure he would do anything Eddie ever told him to. “What’s another 46 hours?”
Or: Buck, Eddie, and their first shift as a couple.
(Written for 9-1-1 Gotcha for Gaza.)

Summary
At this point Buck is officially drifting into freaking out territory, so he does the only other thing he can think of and scrolls through his home screen until he’s found Find my Friends.
The sting of Christopher’s icon being 800 miles away in El Paso nearly takes his breath away. He can’t let himself look at it for too long. It looks like Maddie’s at work, and when he zooms in on Eddie—no that can’t be right.
or,
Eddie has a mustache, a cat, and a night out. Buck gets a phone call, a near heart attack, and a whole new perspective.

Summary
“This isn’t my life!” Buck exclaims. “This is not how it’s supposed to be. Abby is supposed to be gone. She’s supposed to have left. As in, left Los Angeles, not left me to marry Bobby. Bobby’s supposed to marry Athena.”
“Cap and Athena? But she’s—”
“Married. Yeah,” Buck huffs. “Like I said, that doesn’t work out.”
“Because Real Michael is gay?” Eddie asks skeptically.
“Real Michael is gay,” Buck confirms.
OR: After his break up with Tommy, Buck falls asleep on Eddie’s couch and wakes up in a world where Bobby is married to Abby, Hen and Karen are divorced, Athena and Michael are faking a happy marriage, Chim has a daughter that is not Buck's niece, and—just to really, personally fuck with him—Eddie and Maddie are engaged to be married.

Summary
“Aw,” Harry says, smiling. “That’s adorable. Is it like—is it a thing? Do all of you keep pictures in your helmets?”
A murmur of general consensus ripples through their group. Harry, apparently delighted by this new knowledge, demands to see everyone’s secret photos.
“They’re kind of private,” Eddie says, crouched down to unlace his boots. He has a smudge of soot over his left cheek, and his hair has come loose from the gel, a lock of it curling over his brow. Buck likes him like this, just a little dishevelled.
or, firefighters sometimes keep photographs of the people they love inside their helmets, to remember who they’re fighting to come home to. eddie’s isn’t what buck expects.

Summary
“Have a great day at school, buddy. Don’t forge any sick notes for a while, your dad’s going to be suspicious of you now. Love, Buck.”
He slips it in the packed lunch he put away for Chris in the fridge, and then pauses. He pushes the fridge door wider, and smiles. Grabs the pen, writes another note. Satisfied, he tucks it into another packed lunch, and heads back to the living room.
***
Buck starts leaving notes for Eddie. Eddie writes notes for Buck right back. They were always going to end up writing their own love story.
