Summary
The storm had been slowly brewing all day. It began imperceptibly with the sense of peripheral foreboding that comes with a drop in air pressure. But as the mercury slowly fell throughout the day, Eddie’s anxiety levels rose.
But as always, he’d tried his best to put it to the back of his mind, to concentrate on the tasks at hand and carry on with the shift as if nothing were amiss. He’d busied himself with cleaning and re stocking the ambulance and was relieved every time the tones went off as it meant he could click into work mode and forget about the growing feelings of dread washing over him.OR
After Bobby Nash’s death, Chimney taking over as captain at the 118 and Chris leaving for college things were never quite the same for Eddie Diaz.
But his best friend is always there when he needs him the most, after all they’d promised to have each others backs. -

Summary
"You are the luckiest little baby in the world, you know that? Your mommy is incredibly smart and strong and funny and protective. Your dad might be goofy sometimes but he's the toughest nut out there. You brave the name of one of the greatest father figures we ever had in our entire lifetimes. Your sister might bully you a bit at some point but she'll do it out of love. And your Uncle. Your Uncle Buck is like a sun that shines through. Every time I see him I feel like everything finally fell into place..."
...
He met Maddie in the hallway while she was softly closing the door on Jee's room. She had a quick look at Eddie and immediately knew that something was wrong, but maybe the right kind of wrong, you know that feeling?She looked at him with her deer eyes and Eddie asked in a small voice.
"Can you give me a hug?"
_
Or, Maddie/Eddie friendship we all love and need. Chim is there to pick up the pieces. Baby Circle is the unpaid therapist. Eddie is a big ball of repression, guilt and angst and he and Buck figure some things out by the end of it all. -

Summary
“Buck?” he comes into view, slowing down from a sprint just before Eddie and doubling over, hands on his knees, breathing heavily. “What the hell are you doing here? Is everything okay? Are you okay? Jesus how did you get past security—”
“Just give me a second” he says, breathing heavily “Let me just… catch my breath”
So Eddie waits the most agonizing minute of his life as his best friend calms down enough to talk, slowly straightening up and holding his gaze, his eyes determined.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. Everything is fine, I’m fine. Apart from, you know, sprinting through LAX with no shoes on.”
Eddie looks down and Buck really doesn’t have any shoes on.
“Where are your shoes?”
“TSA. Doesn’t matter.” He waves him off and Eddie feels like he’s on a prank show.
Or: Eddie goes to El Paso to reconnect with his son, leaves his best friend behind, and finds more in his hometown than he bargained for.

Summary
“You’re telling me that we live together, sleep usually in the same bed, kiss and cuddle on a daily basis, share clothes, shower together, you even raise my kid, but. We’re just best friends?” Eddie sputtered, in disbelief.
“I mean. Yeah.” Buck exhaled, “It’s not like that. Not between us.”

Summary
“Huh?” Maddie blinks at him, cheeks flushed, stance a little wobbly. It’s rare he sees her properly drunk—but it makes him happy to see her so loose and comfortable. “Evan?”
“Eddie texted asking for a ride.” He narrows his eyes at her. “How much did you guys drink?”
Maddie squints right back. “That’s none of your business.”
“Uh-huh. Can I have my boyfriend back, please?”
“Fine.” She twists around and calls into the house, “Eddie! You-know-who is here!”
When she turns back, Buck gives her a puzzled look. Maddie just shrugs. “I’m not putting another dollar in the B-U-C-K jar. I’ve got two kids.”
Eddie appears under a minute later, weaving through the hallway with a grin that could light up the whole house, the same beaming grin that lights up Buck’s whole life. His hair is a little mussed, his cheeks flushed and ruddy. The second he spots Buck, his megawatt smile somehow gets even brighter.
“Baby,” He says, stumbling the last step it takes to end up by Maddie’s side. Buck catches him by his arm easily.
“Hey, loverboy,” Buck bites his bottom lip, swallowing down a laugh. “C’mon, let’s get you home.”

Summary
Evan Buckley didn’t break bones the way other kids did. He learned that in eighth grade, when he fell off the roof of the gym during a dumb dare. Landed on the concrete. Hard. Everyone thought he’d shattered something. He got up. Winded. Bruised. No break. Not even a sprain. The nurse said he was lucky. Buck knew better.
He didn’t feel lucky. He felt wrong. Like there was a blueprint for how a person was supposed to work, and he’d been printed just slightly off-axis. Because it wasn’t the first time.
OR
An AU where Buck is the Spider-Man of this universe. Getting his powers as his parents were desperate to heal Daniel, they sought help beyond conventional medicine. An experimental treatment that might jumpstart Daniel’s immune system through enhanced gene therapy using a matched donor’s stem cells. Create a sibling. A perfect donor child, whose DNA could be pre-modified to produce regenerative stem cells and enhanced immunity. Buck was this perfect donor child.
Buck learns how to juggle being Spider-Man and a firefighter. He also faces the looming threat of Connors, who is relentlessly pursuing him. Meanwhile, the rest of the 118 are beginning to piece together the mystery of his secret identity.

Summary
Eddie wakes up with someone’s arms wrapped around him. Which is very concerning because he went to bed alone last night, like he’s done every night for over a year now.
He scrambles out of the bed, completely ungracefully, landing flat on his ass in a room that is unmistakably not his own. His heart hammers in his chest as he tries to make sense of it all in his just woken state. He peers over the mattress, to the person that was holding him, and he’s pretty sure his heart gives out all together.
“Maddie?”
She yawns from the bed, not opening her eyes, curling further into the pillow. “It’s too early, Howie, the alarm hasn’t gone off yet.”

Or, Eddie and Chimney accidentally swap bodies.

Summary
When Maddie's morning cup of decaf is interrupted by a persistent knocking at the door, she just knows it's Buck. Buck, her beloved baby brother, her pearl of great price, the biggest pain in her ass, having what is, no doubt, another crisis about his love life. Is it Tommy? Is it Eddie? Is it Taylor Goddamn Kelly?
Who knows. Truly.
She slowly pushes away from the kitchen table, forever grateful that her toddler, who would not have slept through this incessant banging, is already at school. Her belly, now at just over eight months, tilts her forward, causing her to waddle like a penguin across her living room and towards the noise.
She grips the handle and starts talking before she even opens the door.
"I told you, Buck, you've just gotta tell him--"
But it isn't Buck.
