Summary
After the fight in the grocery store, Buck feels like he's causing too much damage so he drops the lawsuit and leaves LA, joining a hotshot wildland firefighter crew out of Montana. He's gone for six months until he gets a call from Chris that something is wrong with Eddie, causing him to race back home only to find a very confused Eddie instead of a hurt or depressed Eddie. Eddie talks him into coming inside for a beer and after that Buck can't bring himself to leave the Diaz boys behind again. But that doesn't mean he's ready to talk to anyone else yet. So they just don't tell anyone else Buck is back. For over two years. Even when they start dating.
Three years after he left LA and the 118, there's a pileup on the 210 in La Tuna Canyon Park and a wildfire racing towards all the crews scrambling desperately to get everyone out in time, including the 118. Buck's crew is in the right place at the right time, and they don't hesitate to come help.

Summary
“How is it?” Tommy dares to sound hopeful, watching Buck set down the cup on the counter beside them.
“Yeah,” Buck starts, feeding into Tommy’s hope momentarily. “That’s actually so much worse.”
Tommy’s hope goes tumbling away. He’s almost at a loss. “What’s worse? What part don’t you like?” He attempts to extrapolate any information from Buck that he can, but this is Buck he’s talking to. Literal tooth pulling might be easier at this point.
“No, rules are rules. You get nothing. I figured yours out on my own so you have to figure out mine on your own.” Buck offers a smirk. Tommy's already trying to figure out how to get closer to figuring out Buck’s coffee. His plan might involve some outside help
Buck and Tommy make a deal, figure out each other's coffee order so they can get to know each other better. Tommy struggles to figure out what it is Buck does and doesn't like, so he enlists the help of the rest of the 118 to give him hints. But, when he finally gets the help he needs, Eddie ends up telling him more than just how Buck takes his coffee.

Summary
" How do I live without you?
I want to know
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live "“No.”
“I’m sorry?”
Buck’s pulse was racing in his ears and he could feel adrenaline course like sheer ice in his veins. “I said no. You’re not moving to Texas.”
The other man sighs, shoulders slumping. “I—“
“No, Eddie. You can’t go. You can’t move.”
8x08 coda: Eddie says he might have to move to fix things, Buck lets him know otherwise.

Summary
Buck’s never been wanted, not really. That’s the truth of his existence, at the end of the day. Born as a saviour only to fail. Neglected by his parents, left by his sister, the only person to make life worth it back then. When he finally, finally decided enough was enough and ran away from home, he thought, stupidly, that being the one to do the leaving might mean that he’d stop being doomed.
It doesn’t. Because now Eddie’s leaving. And it’s worse. It’s so much worse, infinitely worse, in ways Buck can’t quite comprehend. If Tommy leaving was a blow to his self esteem, Eddie leaving – it’s nothing short of an atomic bomb, leaving nothing but dead plants, rotting carcasses and devastation in its wake.------
