Summary
It's during the seventh Buck-related story that Eddie figures out what is going on. It’s when his tía is telling him how Buck has replaced the squeaky old boards of her porch steps, how he’s coming back the day after to paint them, that Eddie realizes that his aunt is dating Buck.
She’s been dropping hints for weeks now, like a trail of breadcrumbs for Eddie to follow, rather than outright telling him. Well, two can play this tiptoeing game.
"Buck really sounds like a triple threat," he tells her with a smug tone.
"Oh he really is,” she says, matching his tone exactly.
--------
Pepa is trying to set Buck and Eddie up to date. Eddie misunderstands in the most spectacular way and thinks Buck and Pepa are dating. They are absolutely not! -

Summary
In an alternative universe, where the first words spoken to a person by their soulmate are marked on their skin like a tattoo, Buck has "Fuck off" written over his heart.
He's spent most of his life worried about just how much of an asshole his soulmate is going to be, and what that means for their future relationship.
Then he meets the guy outside of a juice bar, and it doesn't exactly go as Buck thought it would. -

Summary
The door to Buck's loft has barely clicked shut behind them before Buck whirls around and crowds Lou against the wall next to it.
He realizes that he was right, Lou is taller, and Buck doesn't mind it one bit. In fact, it gives him perfect access to lean in and press open-mouthed kisses to the tanned skin of his throat that has been teasing Buck ever since Lou popped those top buttons open.
Lou smells of a tantalizing mix of warm skin and a subtle cologne that Buck is instantly addicted to. He chases the scent by pressing closer, wanton and needy.
When his kisses and the tip of his tongue catch the edge of the scar, Lou tenses. Buck almost pulls back to apologize, but before he can move, Lou groans and grips Buck's hips to pull him closer.
-----
Or: Two strangers meet in a bar. Turns out they have something in common. -

Summary
Buck gets a dog and somehow forgets to tell the rest of the 118, which would have been fine if it weren't for the fact that Buck had decided to name the dog Eddie. Confusion ensues.
Human Eddie is also less than thrilled about the name:
"You literally could have given him any name, Buck," he mutters for, what feels like, the hundredth time as Chris is enthusiastically begging Buck to send pictures of all the cute things Eddie has done since Buck brought him home three hours ago.Buck and the dog are lounging on the couch with Eddie snoring lightly on his lap. The Diaz boys are sitting together on a different couch 800-something miles away, but huddled close enough to the phone that Buck can almost make out the small mole beneath human Eddie's eye and the matching one on his son's neck.
The father and son seem relaxed in each other's company - Finally! - and Buck's heart swell with so much happiness for them that he could cry. The rush of affection almost makes him miss the next words out of human Eddie's mouth:
"It's going to be a nightmare of confusion when we come home."

Summary
”Congratulations, Eddie!” Chrissy said, handing his sword back to him, blade still pointing away from herself.
As his gloved fingers closed around the blade, he felt a soft click against his fingertips, and he watched in confusion as the hilt of his sword opened up like a mechanical flower.
This isn't my sword, he had time to think, but he didn't understand what was going on until it was too late.
The green ray of lightning was almost blinding when it shot from the sword and hit Chrissy square in the chest, her eyes widening and her mouth forming a surprised o. Eddie saw the moment she died, the exact moment her eyes went vacant before the blast threw her back across the stage.

Summary
Eddie blinks away the brightness of the morning. When his vision comes into focus, so does Tommy, who's lying next to him, the mattress dipping under his weight as he sleeps with his cheek tucked up against the opposite pillow.
The comforter is shoved down, low enough that Eddie is able to trace his eyes over Tommy’s shirtless chest, the long line of his side and down to the curve of his hip, which is—bare, all skin, because, Eddie realizes, Tommy’s not wearing underwear.
Tommy is naked.
Eddie jerks backwards and falls out of bed.
“Evan!” Tommy calls as Eddie lands in a heap on the floor.
Or: Eddie wakes up inside Buck's body. It only gets weirder from there.

Summary
buck: hey, who's the guy from your story
ravi: what guy?
buck: the one with his arm around eddie
buck: hahahaHe adds the ‘hahaha’ like it will somehow disguise the fact that he's two seconds away from flinging his phone into the sink and following it. Then he sends the screenshots. All of them.
Wide shot. Cropped. Zoomed in. Then zoomed in so tight it barely looks like a human neck anymore. In a few of them, he even circled the offending hand or added sad little arrows pointing to where the real problem was, like he thought Ravi might somehow miss it.
