When Buck and Eddie's rivalry lasts longer than one day, Bobby decides to enlist them both for co-planning the annual 118 firehouse Christmas party in an attempt to force them to get along.
“You cooked, like you always do, and it was amazing. Let me do this,”
“Yeah, yeah, chef's kiss, I get it, but-“
Buck is cut off because Eddie is kissing him. It takes his sluggish, wine-drunk brain a few seconds to catch up, and by then Eddie’s mouth is no longer on his own, and Buck would assume he'd hallucinated the whole thing if not for the vaguely manic look in Eddie’s big, wide eyes.
“Um. Chefs kiss?” Eddie says, punctuated with a hollow laugh.
Or, Eddie manages to enlist Buck into cooking for their date before Buck even knows that they're on one.
For a moment, a sickening image passes through Buck’s mind: Eddie’s bedroom door locked, kicked open, his body curled up at the foot of the bed, only this time there are no tears and no destroyed decor and he isn’t breathing, he’s not here. He’s not here.
Buck’s hand is on his thigh. Eddie chokes on his beer, eyes fixed on the curl of Buck’s fingers, tucked in just above his knee to where his skin meets the sofa. He hadn’t noticed, how hadn’t he even noticed? (8x06 PWP CODA)
“Eddie, this is Maddie, your extremely qualified replacement, and her brother Evan,”
Eddie twists in his seat to snap back at Josh, already far too irritated with how his beer has gone lukewarm and bitter. He’s not even tipsy yet.
“Actually, it’s just-“
“Buck?”
“Eddie!”
God, this might be in Eddie’s top ten worst moments. He can feel Josh’s eyes darting between both of them, May giggling not-so-subtly into her hand, and even Maddie looks completely mystified. All of a sudden, his petty outfit choices seem to be the worst idea he’s ever had, and the glitter on his cheeks feels like it’s burning his skin. Maybe he’s allergic.

Children in Martyrdom
[buddie]
summary:
God's grace, he can tell from the burning light across the confessional and the heat under his skin, has been tainted and cracked when it comes to Eddie Diaz. He can taste it in the back of his throat. But it hasn’t completely shattered yet — and he won’t let it. He can’t.

A Man Called Eddie
[buddie]
summary:
Everyone on Peach Street knows Eddie Diaz.
They know he's in his late twenties, he works at the Metro Dispatch Center, and that he does the same rounds every morning like clockwork. They also know that he's rude and abrasive and not worth the effort.
Until Evan Buckley moves into the empty house opposite his, and Eddie's walls are dismantled one by one.

Fading On the Fire

summary:
St John has never met Lasker, doesn’t even know what he looks like, and he doesn’t wish to. But he does wonder how similar they might be, beyond just the stolen moniker.

Bobby Drake had Christian Frost, and he was far too good and far too lawful to ever taint his skin with someone like St John Allerdyce. Except he’s not all that good anymore.

Lots of unsavory feelings about X-Factor, but at least we got some content of him. Even if he'd never ever ever join this team. Love him, love his big ugly tattoo, (free him!!)
