    Summary

    And truthfully, it’s not like he wanted to leave Buck. He wants more than anything to have Buck in his life forever. To see his smile every day until Eddie’s last. To grow old together.

    He recognizes how that sounds, okay? Like he wants to— like he’s—

    Well.

    That’s a revelation that he probably should spend some time on.

    But that time is not now.

    Eddie barely has the time to recognize the crashing noise. He doesn’t even process what’s happening, just that he’s off the couch in milliseconds, shoving Chris out of the way.

    And then he’s on the floor.

    Everything goes black.

    --

    Buck has realized he’s in love with Eddie, just as Eddie’s moving to Texas. Eddie might need another moment to catch up. And “you just never know what tree might fall on you along the way.”

    Summary

    Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
    An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.

    ~~

    or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

    Summary

    There was a warmth in those tiny kisses, a sensation that travelled up Eddie’s thumb, past his shoulders, down to his toes and back up at the base of his spine. Something sweet.

    “Hey, buddy.” Eddie finally asked when the silence became too much. “What are you doing?”

    Buck paused, giving him a look so serious that Eddie was about to call bullshit on the pain meds. “I’m making you better. Idiot.”

     

    *** OR

    Five times Eddie used his kisses to heal or to be healed, plus one time he didn't have to do anything at all.

    (The healing kisses buddie fic)

    Summary

    Soulmate marks, his teacher had explained only for Harry. When he had asked what it meant, his teacher had told him that a soulmate was the person he was bound to be with for the rest of his life whether it was romantically or not. The words on his wrist were just little clues for them in this worldwide scavenger hunt, shaped by their soulmate’s current goal inked on their skin.

    Learn how to fly, his teacher had read for him out loud, smiling as she did so. “How cute.”

    “Fly?” Harry had repeated.

    “Fly,” she agreed. “Maybe they want to touch the clouds in the sky.”

    or: harry has a soulmate and the person isnt who he thought would be.

    it didnt stop him from falling in love, though.
