Summary
When Evan Buckley get´s to Los Angeles, he´s heartbroken with grief, kind of lost and has a lot of unanswered questions in his bagage.
But then one night he meets a 8-year old boy, and with that the boy's father. It's not long before Christopher and Eddie Diaz manage to nestle into his life and his heart. And suddenly it feels a little bit easier to breathe.
Eventually his past catches up with him, and he needs to make a decision. Embrace his new life and the people in it, or go back to were it all started?

Eddie glares at him a moment before looking up at the ceiling with a sigh and a small shake of his head.
“I just-” When the man looks back at him he has a look in his eyes that Buck can't quite read. “I need you to take care of yourself, ok?” He takes a few steps closer towards Buck and he feels how his heartbeat speeds up under his friend´s intense gaze. He stops just a step away from Buck where he's still leaning back on the counter, letting his eyes trail over his face before meeting Buck´s eyes again. “I'm kind of sick of watching you get hurt.” The whisper is raw between them and Buck can´t rip his gaze from the brown eyes staring into his.

Summary
All Buck wanted was to be with his family, but things weren’t the same after the lawsuit. He was sidelined, buried in chores, still on the outs with the 118, especially Bobby and Eddie. Unwilling to give up on them, Buck kept his head down and did his job.
Until he died, all alone, while his team was out on a call.
Grief and guilt consume them. They should have been there, should have seen the signs— should have saved him. But Bobby had let his anger blind him, believing there’d be time to make things right. And Eddie had stayed silent, convinced there’d be a someday. Now, Buck is gone, and they can never make it right.
They weren’t the only ones Buck left behind, however. When a group of Navy SEALs arrives at Buck’s funeral, their presence brings more than just surprise. It brings truths the 118 never saw coming, and more grief than they ever could have imagined.

Summary
He must have been staring, because the man’s head swiveled, his gaze sweeping over their small group before locking directly onto Eddie’s. His eyes were startlingly blue, a shade of the clearest sky that seemed impossible in this washed-out, beige world. For a long moment, they just looked at each other across the dusty expanse. A flicker of something unreadable passed through those blue eyes—curiosity, maybe amusement.
Then, the corner of the man’s mouth quirked up into a small, confident smirk. And he winked.
Or: Eddie's life is about to get much more complicated.

Summary
After returning from Afghanistan Buck and Eddie move to LA to put down roots and in the process build the family they deserve, not the ones they were born with.
-
“What are you doing here?” Buck asked, “I thought you were going to station six?”
Eddie had that shit eating grin he got whenever he was being a cheeky bastard, “Last minute change of plans.” He gave a faux nonchalant shrug.
Suddenly Buck’s face fell into a suspicious glare, “You’re not fucking with me, are you? Rocking up to tease me with those abs of yours and then fucking off to your actual station?”
Eddie’s smile turned fond, enough confirmation that this was for real, “No, I’m here for good.”
“Good, I’ll introduce you then.” Eddie followed Buck as he led him back to the small group, “Everyone this is Eddie Diaz, Eddie this is Hen, Bobby and Chimney.”
“I didn’t realise you two knew each other.” Bobby said, analysing the two of them.
Eddie and Buck began to laugh in unison, “Know each other?” Buck said, speaking through the laugh.
“We share a mortgage.” Eddie finished for him.
