Summary
“But with Bobby, I’ve been trying to do better,” Eddie says.
A hand rests on his shoulder, a thumb stroking. It’s a familiar gesture, but the fingers aren’t calloused enough to be her brother’s. Maddie’s fingers are slimmer, more delicate. It eases the hurt all the same.
“I think you have been,” Maddie reassures him, “at least you’re not joining illegal fight clubs this time. Just very legal book clubs.”
Eddie snorts. The callout was unexpected.
“You’re not what?” Karen’s eyes bulge out of her head as she sits back down.
Eddie chuckles and finally meets Maddie’s gaze. “I hate that Buck tells you everything.”
OR: Eddie joins a book club with Maddie and Karen after Bobby’s death, while Buck slowly drifts away.

Summary
"“Loft 3B,” the app reads, followed by the note, “elevator broken–sorry!” Eddie groans internally at it, but decides to follow through anyway. It's a $30 order with a $15 tip and it’s only about a 3 minute car ride from the restaurant even in LA traffic. He thinks the sad face emoji with the message is a bold move for someone who lives in an Echo Park high rise with stairs so steep he’s surprised it hasn’t ended in a lawsuit. But, something has to pay the bills."
Or, Eddie is a DoorDash driver and Buck is apartment bound after an injury at work... cue love at first delivery.

Summary
Buck tensed up. “What do you know about it?”
“Nothing, nothing man, okay? I don’t know anything except what I’ve seen.”
“And what’s that?”
“I shouldn’t -”
“No, come on, what have you seen?”
“You don’t use your left hand unless you have to, you consistently favor your left leg, and you lean in closer a lot to hear people when they’re talking.”
“And what did that tell you?”
“That something happened to you, probably on the job, and probably not something you’ll recover from.”
OR Eddie joins the 118 after Buck is permanently disabled by an explosion at a call. Despite initial tensions, they learn just how important they can be to one another.

Summary
All Eddie could smell was Buck. He knew Buck had just come back for a run, and the smell of his sweat hit Eddie almost like a storm front blowing over the desert. He could smell his own laundry detergent, Buck had obviously been washing his clothes here with the Tide Free and Clear that Eddie used, and even though it was fragrance free there was always a hint of clean soap about it. But over that was Buck’s own scent. Thick and masculine, salty with sweat and the citrus of the deodorant Eddie knew crusted in his pit hair. It was so shockingly different from the perfume Marisol had worn, lilac and white pine needles.
Eddie swallowed and the smell only got stronger, filling up his entire existence with just Buck for a moment and Eddie had the overwhelming urge to turn his head and press his nose to Buck’s sweaty skin.

Eddie is injured on a call and left blinded. Buck immediately volunteers to move into the Diaz house and help Eddie out. Surely this will be a normal few weeks and Eddie's heightened senses will reveal nothing about how intertwined he and Buck are, right?(written for the 911 Gotcha for Gaza)
