S2 to S3 AU where Shannon was pregnant. When she is killed, the baby is rushed to the NICU, and Eddie suddenly has to deal with a devastated Chris, a brand new baby, and his own very mixed feelings about Shannon and their marriage. Meanwhile, Buck is left idle while he tries to recover from the explosion, and needs something to focus on. With Eddie needing all the help he can get, and Buck needing a distraction, they join forces. ***** The 118 waited in the lobby for news, and Eddie walked in a fog until he found them. He barely registered holding Shannon’s clothing and effects in a barely-sealed plastic bag. He doesn’t know what to say or do as the rest of the 118 get to their feet. They expected information, expected something. Eddie had nothing to give them. Bobby walked in the door in his street clothes and Eddie couldn’t even think to question why. He fell into Bobby’s outstretched arms, feeling like a little kid again, needing assurance from his parent. But he wasn't a kid – he was an adult with two children now, he needed to act like it. And he would. In a minute.

Thank you to @bvddiebro and @blackestglass for their betas! You improved the story tenfold (definitely it's readability)!

jee, take care of your uncle buck.

a fun thing about buddie is that i think if eddie came out to buck, it would (to buck) just solidify that eddie is not and has never been an option for him. eddie likes men, and eddie told him that this changes nothing when he came out. so it can't change anything. it won't.

meanwhile, to eddie, coming out to buck would essentially be a love confession. because if he wants men, of course he wants buck. that goes without saying (it does not).

Imagining a world where Shannon lives and she and Buck have bobbymichael levels of bestiesm. They take trips to the farmer's market together. He always sides with her when she and Eddie are fighting. They go out for brunch on the weekends. They take Christopher to the aquarium and when people mistake them for a couple they're like oh ew lol no. We could've had it all.

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

buddie marriage of convenience because eddie knows he’ll never be able to choose between buck and chris as his best man so the only logical solution is to make buck the groom

bvddiebro

Chris is both of their best man, joint best man, shared best man, because they fought over it, "He's literally my blood!" "Yeah, but I'm his best friend."

No, because I can't stop thinking about the note. At first it just seems a little bit of last pettiness. But it like...sort of makes perfect sense when paired with the assumptions Buck's been making about Eddie throughout the season. Buck told him he's moving "like it's nothing" and Eddie has to say back that it's NOT nothing. Then we have Buck taking the 12 on the grief assessment at face value. He never actually asked. Only made assumptions. So, Eddie, who knows he was a little cruel in his delivery, but right in his message leaves behind a note that is purposefully vague. The blankets are folded, and he says he's at the airport. Now when Buck comes home, he's all "I thought you were in Texas" and Eddie goes on what seems to be his weird little joke about the letters and how he never said Texas and WHEN DID I SAY THAT BUCK? NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT THE NOTE SAID BUCK. And as soon as Buck actually verbally asks him what else he could be doing at the airport, Eddie is like "Okay. Good. Here is your prize in the form of me calling myself a dick who was mean to you and here's Chris." Because....the note was Eddie trying to hammer home the lesson that when Buck assumes things about Eddie he's missing out on the real thing. He wants Buck to ask him. He wants to tell him the truth. And it's a little harsh to have him stew all day thinking Eddie just left, but that's the point. Buck hurt his OWN feelings. Because he didn't ask! Eddie just wants to teach him that it's always just better to ask him! Now...I wonder what else Buck has been assuming about Eddie and their relationship this season....

an alternate universe out there where buck realised he has feelings for eddie during the shooting arc but pushed it down because of reasons. and eddie realised he had feelings for buck during the lightning arc. <- this is only relevant so i can have a b99 inspired scene where bucknatalia and eddiemarisol are on a double date, and natalia lets it slip that buck used to have a crush on eddie. not in a cruel way but maybe eddie does something charming and she’s like damn i get why buck used to like you. (she knows this because buck is attempting to practise emotional honesty in his relationship. and he’s also convinced himself that he’s moved on.) buck is immediately on the verge of a panic attack, stuttering out that it was a few years ago and he’s completely over it. simultaneously avoiding eddie’s eyes and also looking to see if eddie is put off by this. meanwhile eddie is buffering. frozen. he’s caught between ‘buck used to like me’ and ‘he’s completely over it’. he might have stopped breathing for a second. but he also can’t look away from buck because when? and how? and why?. marisol is eating a breadstick. <- just in case you were wondering what was happening on her end.

now i wanna write it

Thinking about how eddie and buck were definitely bedroom kids but chris is so clearly a living room kid and that's the kind of breaking of generational trauma i love to see

eddiesmedbag

i think it's important to point out that eddie's parents stole his kid and were letting people believe they were christopher's parents, yet eddie was gentle as he announced he was taking his son back. yeah, he was petty and left his dad in lubbock, but he also kissed his mom on the forehead as he went to leave.

meanwhile, he is willing to scream and cry and point his finger in buck's face. because he is safe with buck in a way he isn't safe with his parents. the difference is SO LOUD. eddie can't be messy there. they are watching his every move, so he has to keep himself together. but with buck, he knows he can fall apart, and buck will still be there. and that's why LA (buck) will always be home. and why el paso (his parents) can never be.

buddie is so cool. you’d think that mr frat boy rebel kid steals-fire-engines-to-fuck-in-them buck buckley would be the bad influence on mr military silver star single father ballroom dance champion eddie diaz. but in reality it’s mr illegal fight club changes-a-tyre-with-a-boot-on-it “we don’t need a key we’re firefighters” eddie diaz dragging mr loves baking loves kids goes-crazy-for-rules-and-clipboards buck buckley into shenanigans with him. beautiful <3

his sexuality crisis would NOT involve him researching micro-identites to find the exact one to label his attraction. he's a forty year old man, he's calling himself gay and never thinking about it again
