    Summary

    “Another new guy?” Buck asks, rolling his eyes, “What nightmare have you got for us this time, hmm? They’re already late to the briefing, so it’s not exactly a great start.”

    “Actually,” comes a voice from behind them, making Buck startle, “I got here yesterday morning, already been briefed.”

    He’s the kind of Hollywood handsome that people generally aren’t in real life, all warm tanned skin and big brown eyes, and a perfectly coiffed sweep of dark brown hair. He’s walking down the main staircase from the floor above, and somehow it looks like a scene from a movie. It honestly makes Buck feel a little sick. Who the fuck does he think he is?

    ———

    An Inception AU, or, the 118 are a dreamsharing team, and Buck's not convinced they need a new pointman, let alone this guy. Despite himself, they end up real close.

    Summary

    "Okay," Eddie says, shaking his head like he's throwing off the laughter. "Touch my ass."

    "What?"

    "The only way for us to face this is to jump in. So, touch my ass."

    Buck untangles his arms from around Eddie. "I think the mood's gone."

    "Oh, c'mon," Eddie whines. "I promise I won't laugh."

    "I don't want to do it anymore."

    That earns him a raised eyebrow. "You don't want to touch my ass?"

    "Eddie—"

    "Just touch my ass."

    "Stop saying ass."

    "Ass, ass, ass, ass, ass—"

    Side effects may include laughter during sex, moody teens, competitive streaks a mile wide, and the ability to (somewhat) effectively communicate.

    or...Finally together, Buck and Eddie navigate their developing relationship. Eddie’s laughter at the thought of sex and Chris’s passive aggressive mixed signals don’t help a spiraling Buck’s mourning of an imagined loss of friendship. Meanwhile, Eddie comes to terms with his identity and it means for him. Featuring too much information shared during wine nights, zoo trips with a gaggle of kids, and an exhausted Ravi.

    Summary

    With the shaker hidden from view, the movement of Eddie’s arm is too reminiscent of a certain solo activity that Buck has, regrettably, become all too familiar with.

    “Holy fuck” Buck whispers, heat prickling below his belt as thoughts of Eddie, alone in his dingy El Paso bedroom, spring to mind. He’s gonna need another shot.

    “What was that?” Eddie asks, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.

    “N-nothing!” Buck shakes his head, hoping the action will restore him to a rational human being who doesn’t think about his best friend jerking off, “Just, when you said you were working at a bar, I didn’t really picture…”

    Buck trails off, staring pointedly at the pride flags hanging above Eddie’s head.

    “A gay bar?”

    “Yeah.”

     

    Or, Buck visits Eddie in El Paso, watches him ride a mechanical bull, and realizes he's in love, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    An canon-divergence AU where Bobby was the one locked out of the lab during the 08x14-08x15 arc, and Buck takes his place in sacrifing himself for Chim.
    Work 1 is the 118 working through grief in the immediate aftermath of losing Buck. Work 2 is alternate ending to it, where Buck ends up being found alive the day of his funeral. The first one can be read alone, but if you want a happy ending the sequel is there for you.
