Summary
Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.
The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.
Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.
-----
In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

Summary
Eddie reckons with the forces that have kept him stuck in the past on a holiday visit to his hometown. He has a choice to make, but not the one he believes he's facing down when he gets on the plane just before Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, Buck can see the writing on the wall. This is how he loses his best friend. The same way he's already lost Christopher to the miles of distance between California and Texas. He's trapped in a cycle of loss and not sure how he's going to cope.
-⚔️-
In which I make El Paso matter, Eddie and Chris repair their relationship, and Buck goes through a period of self-discovery. Could all of their introspection lead Buck and Eddie together in a new way?

He’s 33 years old when he realises that he’ll be in love with Eddie Diaz for the rest of his adult life.
‘Fu–dge,’ he says, dropping the screwdriver. He’s so fucked.------

Summary
They’d promised each other, sworn blind that they wouldn’t let him get a rise out of them. That they weren’t going to snap and give Gerrard and his ugly ass presence what he wanted.
Despite that promise, the following shift they all had after Buck being wrung out, it happened.
“What in the hell is that?” Gerrard’s arms were folded, eyes narrowed, looking to all the world a villain from an 1800s children’s novel.
Eddie, who Buck had never seen quite so obviously looking to start something, turned on his heel from the coffee machine, the shadow of a smirk written across his face.
“What’s what?” Eddie asked coolly, as if he didn’t have a caterpillar crawling along his upper lip to match Gerrard’s.
OR - Eddie is a little unhinged since Christopher left. When Buck gets yelled at for having facial hair, Eddie makes a spectacle out of his own.

Summary
Buck is not okay after the tsunami. Eddie is figuring out just how much everyone already knows about him and Buck. Everyone, it seems, except for him and Buck.
...
Eddie gasps out another breath of relief and hugs Christopher tighter, trying to dig himself out of the pit in his stomach, the one he’d been falling deeper and deeper into for the brief moment where he’d thought Christopher was gone.
For a moment, his heart soars, because his son is alive and Buck is alive, and they’re both right here, and they’re both okay, and he can see Chim and Bobby and Hen gathering around Buck. His heart soars.
And then Buck collapses, and Eddie’s heart slams right back into the dirt.
