    Summary

    With everything happening, a deep, nauseating feeling had taken root, feeding the fear that the people he loved would eventually leave him. The feeling deepened at every ignored text or declined invitation.

    One moment, they would be there; the next, they’d be gone. Buck would be left watching them walk away, powerless to stop it.

    When Maddie left for Boston the first time, Buck knew in advance. When she didn’t come with him when he left Hershey, she at least wrote a letter. And when she left again after the accident with Jee and her postpartum struggles, she had come by to see him.

    But Bobby’s retirement blindsided him. Even with the fire, Buck had nearly missed the chance to say goodbye for good because Bobby had almost died. Now, even Eddie—the one person Buck had hoped this would never happen with—wasn’t talking to him.

    The fear that they’d leave without a word was terrifying and consuming. The anxiety that had been brewing for years has now returned in full force. The storms that were battering LA only made it worse.

    or the one where Buck is spiraling after the events of season 7 and a near death experience changes everything

    Summary

    Buck hated Eddie Diaz.

    Actually—scratch that— he loathed Eddie Diaz.

    The man had been nothing short of insufferable since he met him. Every morning, Buck got up and dreaded seeing the man. He made Buck despise every minute he was in his presence.

    It wasn't just his smug smirk or that slight Texan drawl that grated on Buck's very nerves—it was everything.

    He waltzed into Buck's life on September 21st last year, hired as a new writer at the magazine where he worked. From day one, Diaz had been a know-it-all, constantly correcting Buck on every minor thing: You need a comma there. Write more. Write less. You spelled that wrong.

    To say it drove Buck crazy was an understatement.

    or the one where Buck and Eddie work together and don't get along but they wake up after having a free night of drinking to…wedding rings, a marriage certificate, and a handful of regret.

    Summary

    When Eddie left for Texas, Buck told himself he’d be fine. He had the house, the memories, and the silence, too much of it.

    Then a stranger shows up at his door with news that knocks the air out of him: he’s the father of an eight-year-old girl named Alina Marie Monroe.
    Oh — and her mother’s dead.

    When Eddie finally comes home, the two of them fall into a rhythm that feels almost like a family. Almost.

    But love gets complicated when it’s the one thing neither of them has ever had the courage to name. Between bedtime stories, quiet mornings, and the ghosts of what-ifs, Buck and Eddie begin to realize that sometimes family isn’t something you find, it’s something you build, one heartbeat at a time.

    Or:
    Buck becomes a dad. Eddie comes home. And somewhere between friendship and forever, they find the sunlight again. ☀️

    Ft A short Christopher & Alina Side Story!

    Summary

    Abstract: In a longitudinal assessment of the Buckley variable’s impact on Dr. Diaz, we document a surprising decline in objectivity, an alarming spike in flustered rambling, and multiple methodological failures including—but not limited to—accidental staring, uncontrolled blushing, and an unprecedented disregard for professional boundaries. Despite repeated replication attempts, no reliable strategy for emotional neutrality was found. The data strongly support the hypothesis that Subject Buckley is hazardous to academic composure. Peer review pending. Further study (and possibly therapy) is recommended.

    ---

    TLDR: A Buddie AU where rockstar!Buck crashes straight into professor!Eddie’s quiet life… and absolutely wrecks him (emotionally and physically).

    Summary

    When Christopher calls his grandparents after seeing his father with a copy of his mother, he was hoping for a few weeks of peace in El Paso. What he didn't expect was for his grandparents to sue his father for custody. When his father clearly doesn't want him and doesn't show up in court, Chris does the only thing he can. He calls his Buck. Buck has never let him down before.
