    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.

    Summary

    Missed call: Eddie (12:14pm)
    Hey, Buck. Just crossed into Arizona. Can’t help but feel like I forgot something, but knowing you, you had some secret clipboard with an itemized list you went over twice, ha. I’ll let you know when I’m in New Mexico. Take care, bye.

     

    or, Eddie leaves, and calls, and calls, and calls. Buck falls apart, and lets it go to voicemail.

    Summary

    Eddie thinks that he could spend the rest of his life listening to Buck tell him fun facts, life anecdotes, dark tales or deep feelings. Eddie would listen to Buck read the dictionary front to back if it meant keeping that sparkle in Buck’s eye and his voice in Eddie’s ears.

    or, Eddie loves to listen to Buck yap.

    alternatively, “Eddie doesn’t keep Buck in the basement. Eddie lets Buck bejeweled.”

    Summary

    He charged towards the monster, his head pounding, his entire body feeling both as light as a feather and as heavy as a ton of bricks.

    Something within him seemed to snap, and not even pausing to think what it could mean, Steve held out his arm and pushed.

    Everything blacked out.

    Steve pushed with all of his might but felt nothing under his fingertips. He pushed at the air itself–
    And the monster seemed to move with it.

    -

    Steve's just trying to get through school, so finding out that alternate-dimension monsters exist, surviving said weird alternate-dimension monsters, and discovering he has some kind of freaky magic was not part of the plan.

    Summary

    He hasn’t gotten around to telling Buck about them being mates, or the whole… werewolf thing in general, but he’s working on it!

    Werewolves are not known by the public, which is arguably the biggest hurdle. They still hide in the shadows, not willing to risk their existence becoming common knowledge in fear of what the consequences might be. Secrecy was something that had been drilled into his head as soon as he could understand what he was; keeping their gift a secret was the most important rule of their kind, and he’s hammered the same rule into Chris’ head once the boy learned what they were.

    So, he will tell Buck, of course. Has to, if he wants to complete their bond - which he absolutely does - it’s just a matter of figuring out the best way to do so.

    Or: In a world where werewolves exist and the Diaz family are all shifters, the aftermath of the tsunami might have looked a little bit different.

    Summary

    "Yeah, Dad, the curse was so taken out of context!" Chris agrees enthusiastically with Buck and finally Eddie's laughter started to subside.

    "Oh, please tell me you did not get our kid to start believing in curses," Eddie spoke and Buck could hear both the incredulous stare and fond smile through the phone.

    "Well, of course curses are real," Buck started to defend.

    "Evan," Eddie chastised.

    "Look, all I'm saying is-"

    "Buck," Eddie chastised again and this time Buck felt a rosy blush blooming on his cheeks. The name caught him so off guard that he allowed enough silence for Eddie to speak again, "Chris, mijo?"

    Chris spoke up between his giggles, "Yeah, Dad?"

    "Please tell me you still know curses aren't real," Eddie almost seemed to be pleading.

    ~

    When Buck becomes a probationary firefighter at the 118, he doesn't mean to keep his family a secret. It's just hard to talk about his husband and son when Eddie's deployed overseas. At least if he can't talk to the 118 about Eddie and Chris, he can still talk to Eddie and Chris about the 118.

    Summary

    Buck was pretty good at talking. In fact, it seemed like Buck was allergic to silence with how much he talked. He loved spitting out random facts and tidbits of useless knowledge anytime the silence stretched on for just a moment too long. He talked so much in fact that it took nearly a year and a half of knowing him to realize they didn’t actually know him.

    Bucks past/present gets revealed as a series of unexpected guests show up at the 118 fire station.

    Summary

    “My grandparents are coming to town tomorrow.”

    “You have grandparents?” Eddie’s brow furrows.

    “Yeah,” Buck says with a hollow laugh. “I found out about an hour ago.”

    Eddie leans forward, clearly confused. “So… where have they been all this time?”

    “Boston, I think,” He mutters. “I don’t really know. I thought they were dead. Turns out they just didn’t care enough to be part of my life.” He swallows hard, his throat tight. “And now they just show up, after all this time? No warning. It doesn’t make any sense. I have no idea what to do,”

    Eddie’s expression turns serious “You don’t have to do anything, Buck,” he says firmly almost , his protective “You don’t have to forgive them, or even let them back into your life if you don’t want to. This isn’t about them—it’s about what you need.”

    or

    The one where Buck finds out he has grandparents, breaks up with his boyfriend, gets crushed by a ceiling and gets engaged in the space of a week.

    Summary

    With Christopher in El Paso and Mara pulled out of custody, there's a lot of parents around the 118 that are missing their kids, and a lot of comfort that can be found with each other.

    _____

    “Exactly,” Karen jumped in. “All four of us are going through a lot right now. It’s hard to miss children, especially when you know they’re safe and okay, just not with you.”

    “Which is why you wanted the four of us to hang out more?” It was obvious now, to Eddie. He felt a little guilty about it, but he had almost forgotten that Hen and Karen were also missing a child. It was so easy to be wrapped up into just thinking about Chris, Chris, Chris, that the concept that anyone else might also be able to understand what he was going through had completely escaped him.

    “Right!” Karen sounded pleased. “I thought if you guys were anything like the two of us, you’re feeling unmotivated, and maybe spending a lot more time lazing around and being sad than you normally would.”

    “Lots more to be sad about than usual,” Eddie said slowly.

    “Exactly. And I thought that, maybe, the four of us could hold each other accountable. Spend time together once a week and go out and do something.”

    Summary

    A series of short stories that began as a short series for #stobinmonth 2023. The original four stories were posted for the corresponding day of Platonic Stobin Month, but are ordered chronologically in the series. Then the series got wildly out of control. For 2024 I am posting one story a month. Every story is placed in chronological order when the story is posted.

    Platonic Stobin is the central focus of the story, but Steddie and Rockie are romantic relationships that develop later in the series.

    This AU focuses on Robin meeting Steve as Steve at Scoops Ahoy and as Mr. Wolf in the woods during the summer of 1985. She slowly becomes friends with both of them and then season three happens. Then season four happens and stuff starts to go radically AU.
