    Summary

    The AU where Bobby adopted Evan when he was six years old, and then twenty years later Eddie joins the 118 and starts dating Buck... and no one initially realises that Evan and Buck are, in fact, the same person. Part 1 is the story of the identity shenanigans and the reveal.

    Part 3 is a collection of missing scenes from the original story, while Parts 4 ('how it could have gone') and 5 ('another way it could have gone') are outtakes and depict two different scenarios where the reveal of Buck and Evan being the same person go a different way.

    Part 2 'oh captain my captain' is a prequel and shows the 118 meeting Bobby and then later on Evan.

    Part 6 'these are the days we've been waiting for' is the story of Buck's first day at the 118.

    Part 7 'may you live in interesting times' is a sequel to that takes place about a year or so later, and Part 8 'I once was lost (but now I'm found)' directly follows on and is a full-length sequel and prequel to the main story.

    This series as it is now is standalone and can be considered complete. The only reason I haven't marked it as such is because I do expect to be adding additional installments at some point in the future. Happy reading!

    Summary

    Of all the things Eddie had ever expected Buck to ask him about, he absolutely hadn’t thought it would be his fake dating services.

    “I... Yeah, I do. I do that. Why?”

    “Well, um, I was wondering... And I know this sounds really weird, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever really talked to you before, which I’m sorry about, by the way, because I'm sure you’re a really cool guy, and I know I’ve seen you at some parties before, and we’ve been in this class together all semester, but—”

    Finally, Eddie manages to pull himself together enough to hold up a hand to stop Buck’s rambling, and the boy immediately snaps his mouth shut, blue eyes wide and a little panicked.

    “Buck, what exactly do you want?” he asks, brow furrowed with confusion, and Buck’s nervous shuffling increases tenfold, his smile completely gone now.

    “Right. Um. I... I was wondering if maybe you’d be willing to, um... to fake date me.”

    -or-

    Eddie Diaz fake dates girls to make a little extra cash on the side. He's shocked when football star Evan "Buck" Buckley requests his services for the Christmas holiday.

    Summary

    for the absolutely infallible @eddiesdiaz who asked me on Tumblr:
    High school au where Buck’s the sad lonely kid with the shit family and Eddie’s the popular captain of the wrestling team who makes it his personal mission to make Buck an honorary Diaz and convince him that he deserves nice things I am just saying
    ———

    Buck was good at going unseen.

    It was a defense mechanism—his parent’s couldn’t get upset with what they didn’t realize was there—and it had only amped up once Maddie graduated. Once she went off to college, Buck had no reason to be a distraction anymore, to try and pull attention off of anyone; so he just got better at it. He could pick things up and set them down without a sound. He constantly walked on the balls of his feet. He even kept his breathing even, slow and low, whenever he wasn’t alone.

    Buck was invisible to absolutely everyone.

    Well… everyone except Eddie Diaz.

    Summary

    “Skydive. Kiss someone in the rain. Go on a road trip... Get into a bar fight?”

    Buck groaned, snatching the paper back. “Don’t judge sixteen-year-old me. He had dreams.”

    Hen leaned forward. “Oh, we’re judging. Sixteen-year-old you has handed us a gift—insight into all of your questionable teenage priorities.”

    Buck crossed his arms, glaring at her. “Hey, some of it’s respectable! ‘Learn to surf?’ Solid goal. ‘Save a life?’ Pretty sure I've nailed that one.”

    “Get into a bar fight, though?”

    “I thought it’d make me look cool!”

     

    Or, when Evan Buckley finds the bucket list he wrote as a teenager, he decides there’s no time like the present to complete it.
