    Summary

    “In the event of their untimely death,” the lawyer tells him, “the McCallums listed you as the legal guardian of their daughter.”

    Before he’s even begun to process that, Buck blurts out, “And they chose me?”

    In which Buck becomes the guardian of the daughter he never knew he had. Together, they discover what happiness truly means to them.

    Summary

    Jesus,” Eddie says, breathless. To everyone else it must sound like he’s just sighing at the outcome of the game, but Buck laughs beside him again, a deep rumble from his chest, and oh fuck. Eddie’s the one who’s not going to survive the night.

    He looks down at his lap and almost groans out loud at the way Buck’s hand is just resting there like this is a common occurrence, like he doesn’t have Eddie half-hard in public.

    ...or, the poker game is too much. For both of them.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”

    “She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.

    Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.

    or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    Eddie, ten years younger, in this awful 2010, blinks up at him. He's still sitting slumped on the curb, and for a second Buck thinks he might tell him to fuck off, but then his eyes fall shut and there’s something — aching and painfully vulnerable in the bend of his mouth, the faint tension in his brow. “My…um, girlfriend, I guess. She’s pregnant.”

    “Holy shit,” Buck says.

    -

    or, buck deals with some wonky dimensional/time travel and then breaks up with his girlfriend. eddie, obviously, is involved.

    Summary

    Buck is about to walk out of the airport. He can’t do this. He won’t. But then a hand—a big, warm hand—settles on his shoulder.

    “Hey, uh—”

    Buck turns, and standing there is the most beautiful man Buck’s seen in his entire life. A week’s worth of stubble across his jaw and cheek, a strong nose, and the deepest, prettiest brown eyes he’s ever seen, framed by mile-long lashes. Buck’s breath catches. Buck’s not into men, but holy shit, if he was—he’d be into this guy.

    Well. He is kinda into this guy. Well. That’s—

    “I’m here with my kid,” the guy continues, throwing a thumb over his shoulder and pointing toward where a blonde-haired, smiling kid with red glasses and crutches is standing. The kid lifts a hand and waves. Okay. Even if Buck is into the guy—kid usually means wife. Damn. “He’s got CP. We’ve done this song and dance a thousand times. You want a hand?”

    “Sir,” the man cuts in, “this is a private discussion—”

    Buck, who really was trying not to cry before, feels like he’s fighting a losing battle now. His eyes are a little wet, and his hands, gripping his crutches, are shaking just a little. “Fuck. Yeah. Please.”

    OR Eddie Diaz vs American Airlines.
