    Summary

    “Oh, Buck,” Karen’s voice took him from his thoughts, and he went back to listening. “You know that’s not the case. Maddie and Chim are still here. We’re still here. Bobby and Athena are still here.”

    “But you all have each other," Buck replied. “Maddie has Chim, and you have Hen, and Bobby has Athena. Eddie and Chris? They were mine.”

    “And they still are, Buck,” Hen said. “They always will be.”

    “Will they, though?” Buck asked. “What happens when Eddie moves back to Texas, and he starts laying down roots there right with Chris? What-what happens when he meets somebody that loves them more than…than anything in the world, and they forget me ?”

    ****

    Denny overhears a conversation between his mothers and Buck about Eddie moving to Texas, and asks Chris via the group chat he and the other 118 kids are in together. Chris is being held hostage in Texas by his grandparents, and desperately is trying to return to LA. With the help of the 118, can the teens get Chris back home and save Christmas?

    Summary

    What if Eddie attended the fire academy in El Paso instead of Texas? What if his parents took a more serious approach after their last discussion of Eddie giving Chris to them?

    AKA, the Diaz parents make moves to sue for custody, and the rest of the Diaz family closes ranks around our boys.

    Summary

    There are a few spam e-mails at the top, and he feels a familiar spike of annoyance at the sight - he never signed up to receive these stupid advertisement emails, why does he have to be the one to go through and unsubscribe to all of them? It’s stupid, that’s all he’s saying - as well as a few texts from the 118-group chat, somebody trying to get a day off, but at the bottom, there’s a text that came in 23 minutes ago that makes his stomach fall to his ass and static buzz in his ears.

    Christopher: Missed Call

    Christopher: Dad, I thjnk somethngs wrng

    Christopher: Dad pleas

    He knows his son is hardly one to take the time to spell everything out when he could use simple acronyms, but this isn’t that. These are misspellings, and the lack of emojis - from the kid who once spoke to him solely in the little suckers while he was on shift one day - has him immediately pulling up his son’s contact information and hitting dial, chewing on his inner cheek as he waits for the call to connect.

     

    Or: As Eddie is debating his move to Texas, a few texts from his son in the middle of the day set him on a course to getting everything he's been wanting.

    Summary

    No one knows he used to be a model for Halloween Costumes.

    He’s honestly surprised no one knows yet.
    It’s not something he wants to share with his family. He’s not ashamed or embarrassed, but he knows for a fact that they would go out looking for him in every store, and he would never hear the end of it.

    And yet, every year from September to November, people on calls ask him if they know him. Every year, without fault. And none of his team realized it. He knows it’s only a matter of time, he just doesn’t know who will say something first, or when.

    He should’ve expected that it would come from one Christopher Diaz, honestly.

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t have an emergency contact. Maddie's not here, and his parents have never cared. Connor? No go. Abby? He's known her a few weeks, so no.

    Buck supposes that putting a random number wasn't a good idea. He had initially considered putting Bobby down but he didn’t want to be a nuisance. They’ve gotten closer, sure, Bobby calls him kid, Buck called him pops once, they went to a Springsteen concert together but Bobby’s his boss. So what did he do?

    He just opened the Los Angeles phonebook he found at a phonebooth, opened it at a random page, put his finger at a random line, and put those random numbers down.

    Summary

    Every time he’s at Costco, Buck finds that it’s a shame that he’s never gotten to know what the Costco Experience was. You know, before the zombies.
    Hen and Karen said that Costco, was an overstimulating experience, Chimney said that Costco was magical and it was where dreams came true (Buck’s 90% sure that Chimney’s confusing Costco and Disney but he doesn’t want to ask).

    Current apocalypse aside, Buck likes coming to Costco. He gets the appeal. A pharmacy, an optometrist, mobile phone services, garage, meats, frozen produce, furniture– anything, really.
    Sure, this one is a bit… destroyed, decrepit. But if you know where to look, or if you’re a good climber, there are still good products around, even after all these years.

    You can maybe even find a boyfriend.

    Summary

    It’s a well known fact that Buck is a good guy. Everyone knows that. Hell: the LAFD as a whole probably knows how good of a guy Buck is. He did save a dozen people during the tsunami while he was off duty while he was recovering and on blood thinners. A feat that the 118 hadn’t been aware of until one year after the tsunami, when one of the victims spoke up and named him as Firefighter Buck. The LAFD had recognized him for his bravery and Buck? He’d brushed it off like it was nothing.

    So yeah, Buck’s a good guy. A great guy. But does he know how great he is? You would tell him and he would probably brush it off and tell you he’s just as good as everyone else.

    The 118 know this, of course they do, but it all starts to come into clarity for them on a
    stormy day when Buck shows up to work looking like a wet dog and one by one, they notice the little things that Buck does for them.

    Or: a 7+1 where the 118 realize just how GOOD Buck is. Comfort, no hurt.

    Summary

    It’s a fucking miracle that Buck finds Chris after he falls off the truck and he nearly sobs with relief when the water finally recedes enough that he can plant his feet on solid ground. Buck holds Christopher tight with one arm, his free hand still clutched around the pole he’d held onto as the water had rushed around them, unable to let go just yet.

    ~~~~~

     

    “Hey, Chris,” Buck says and rests a hand on his cheek, smiling as brightly as he can. “You have to keep going without me.”

     

    “What?” he exclaims. “No!”

     

    “Chris, listen to me-”

     

    “No! I’m not leaving you!” As if to drive the point home he tips forward and holds onto Buck as tightly as he can.

    “Woah!”

    He grips the yellow collar of that shirt, dragging Chris away from the roaring current and to his chest. Once they’re safe and secure in the center of the truck, he lets himself breathe.

    “Ok,” Buck chokes. “We’re just gonna sit like this for a while, alright?”

    Christopher nods, holding him just as tight. “Sounds good.”

    OR

    Buck catches Chris before he falls into the water. Now, it's up to him to get them through the carnage of the tsunami and back to his father. At any cost.

    “Well,” Buck says. “I’ve had worst first dates.”

    The man looks unimpressed. “We fell fifty feet, got trapped beneath a building, your legs are pinned, and you’re telling me you’ve had worse?”

    Buck thinks about this. “Well, Veronica liked the Red Sox.”

    Summary

    There was an arsonist in Los Angeles targeting firefighter’s homes and Eddie and Buck had both been worried about Christopher, taking turns staying in the Diaz household.

    So far, none of the homes or apartments targeted had belonged to the 118, but everyone was on high alert and being very cautious with leaving their homes unattended.

    All of the hits seemed to be random and no one had been hurt so far, but at least six firefighters were displaced because the fires had taken away everything they had.

    Either way, Buck was now on his way back to hid apartment for the first time in a week.

    The moment the smell hit him, Eddie tensed. And if the look of concern Buck shot him was anything to go by, he noticed his reaction instantly. “Buck, do you smell that?”

    Buck’s brow furrowed as he sniffed the air, his eyes going wide. “Is that gasoline?”

    “ Eddie?”

    Eddie frowned as Taylor’s voice flooded the cab of his truck.

    “Taylor? How did you—”

    “You have to get to Buck’s loft! It’s on fire!”

    Eddie’s foot nearly jumped the gas. “What?”

    “Buck’s building is on fire! I… the smoke was too bad and—” Taylor broke off with a harsh cough that sounded like it had been ripped out of her with claws leaving her with slashes along her throat. The light changed green and Eddie slammed on the gas, swerving in and around traffic as he raced to Buck’s place.

    “Call 9-1-1!”

    “We did! Eddie… Buck, he… I think he’s inside!”

    Summary

    Whoever told Buck that excessively talking and narrating things to his baby would aid in her cognitive development is a bitch.

    “I have to go to work today, so you’re gonna hang out with your Auntie Maddie because she has the day off, and then tomorrow morning after my shift you and I are gonna get breakfast with Eddie, so I’m packing your pink dress with the blue flowers because I think it’s very breakfasty. That’s not a word, though. Sometimes it’s okay to make up words for emphasis, but not all the time, okay?”

    Evie thinks her dad is the most fascinating thing in the world and he would like to keep it that way, thank you very much. She stares and smiles at him while he talks, reacts to certain words like she’s starting to understand what they mean, claps her hands together when he says the names of her favorite people, it’s awesome.

    However, Buck seems to have made one very grave mistake and in her very first act of spite against her dad, Evie will not let him live it down.

    "Eddie!"

     

    Or, narrating his entire life to his daughter started as a good idea until she decided to use her first word to out Buck’s big dumb crush on his best friend.

    Summary

    Christopher huffs, then furrows his brows as if he’s seriously upset that Eddie won’t let him keep a random child he found on the side of the road. He then speaks slowly like he isn’t sure Eddie can understand the gravity of the situation. “You’re not supposed to oppose the cat distribution system.”

    Eddie sputters as he wraps some ice cubes in a towel. “What now?”

    His son looks at him like he’s the unbelievable one. “You know, if you find a kitten on your porch during a storm, or like, under your car, the cat chose you, you can’t reject it– God, you are so old sometimes. I bet Buck knows what that is.”

    “She’s not an actual cat,” Eddie whisper-shouts. “Please tell me you are aware that she’s not an actual cat."

     

    or;

    Chris finds a child on the side of the road, who may or may not have been a cat in another life, and decides to bring her home. This is their first year together.
