Summary
He's going back to the aquarium.
Not for Buck. Obviously, categorically, definitively not for Buck.
For Christopher, who loved it.
For a new sticker, because the old one is gone and he needs a replacement the way you'd replace a toothbrush or a phone charger, because it's a functional object that serves a functional purpose in his life.
If Buck happens to be there, then fine, great. Eddie can say hi, because there's nothing weird about wanting to see someone again. People revisit people. That's a normal thing to do. It doesn't have to mean anything. Besides, Chris loved Buck, so really, he only hopes Buck is there so Chris can see him again.
Or,
Eddie and his totally normal obsession with the aquarium. Which definitely has nothing to do with a certain employee named Buck.Part 2 to 'i'll take sexuality crisis at the aquarium for $108, Alex'

Summary
Dear Captain Nash,
I know this email is kind of out of the blue, but I didn’t know who else to reach out to. I’m not even sure how to start this email. One time Buck and I signed up for this pen pal program, but the kid in Maine I was writing with gave up after two rounds of letters. It was during my ancient Egypt phase and I think I scared him off with my questions about mummies. Buck told me I was too cool for him anyway.
or
When Chris starts going to church in Texas he reaches out to the only person he can think of who might have some answers, meanwhile Eddie uses his email to try and talk to God, and Buck... well Buck online shops mostly.
A season 8 rewrite told only through email.

Summary
With Christopher away for the holidays and Buck unwilling to fly, Eddie agrees to a road trip that turns into three days of motel rooms, snow-slicked roads, and feelings he’s been avoiding for years.
Or love sneaks up on Eddie Diaz somewhere between here and Hershey.

Summary
“You didn’t know he was doing this?” Taylor asks as she takes her phone back.
“I didn’t know we were dating,” Buck whispers, eyes tracking Eddie as he heads back to the table. Taylor laughs and quickly stops.
“Oh my god, you’re not joking. Well, good luck with uh - that,” Taylor snorts. She’s gone before Eddie sits back down, sliding two gin and sodas across the table towards Buck.or
The one where Buck didn’t know they were dating and Eddie is embracing whimsy (and isn’t as much of a technophobe as we think he is).

Summary
“Those couldn’t’ve been cheap,” Eddie says. “Do we need to talk about your spending habits?”
Buck lets out a soft huff of laughter. “What are you, the flower police?”
“No, no,” Eddie says, shaking his head, his hair brushing against the side of Buck’s face. “If you wanna spend your hard earned money on fancy ass flowers, I’m not gonna stop you.” He nuzzles into Buck’s neck, his stubble scratching against his skin.
“It’s nice,” he says, his voice muffled. “No one’s ever bought me flowers before.”
Buck copes with unrequited love by maladaptive daydreaming, buying Eddie flowers, and lying to the farmers market vendor about his imaginary husband.
