    Summary

    Evan Buckley’s life sucks.

    Ok, so maybe that’s not completely true. He has a sister who he thinks the world of, a beautiful niece who is just the most perfect kid that ever walked the planet, a group of friends who have become family and have saved his neck more times than he can count, and he has parents who love him no matter what idiotic, harebrained stunt he pulls, even though they’re not biologically related. He has a comfy apartment in a nice part of LA, an active social life, and a secure job which means he can pay all his bills and have enough left over to spend on things he doesn’t really need but does anyway to fill the gaping void that hadn’t been in his life a year ago.

    Because a year ago he had the job of his dreams. He was doing something good, helping people, serving a higher purpose and making a difference. He was saving lives.
    And then Freddie Costas blew him up.

    Or

    5 times Buck crushes on the hot single dad who brings his kid to Buck’s junior book club at the library, and the 1 time he does something about it.

    Summary

    Buck can’t help but feel like he’s overstepping. He was the one that told Eddie to work harder on his relationship with Ana if he really cares about her, and here he was, walking into Eddie’s apartment without asking and standing completely still when he sees Eddie, Chris and Ana on the sofa together.

     

     

    Or, one time that Buck feels like Eddie has replaced him with Ana and three times after that Buck gets confronted for purposefully distancing himself. [Post 5x02]

    Summary

    for the absolutely infallible @eddiesdiaz who asked me on Tumblr:
    High school au where Buck’s the sad lonely kid with the shit family and Eddie’s the popular captain of the wrestling team who makes it his personal mission to make Buck an honorary Diaz and convince him that he deserves nice things I am just saying
    ———

    Buck was good at going unseen.

    It was a defense mechanism—his parent’s couldn’t get upset with what they didn’t realize was there—and it had only amped up once Maddie graduated. Once she went off to college, Buck had no reason to be a distraction anymore, to try and pull attention off of anyone; so he just got better at it. He could pick things up and set them down without a sound. He constantly walked on the balls of his feet. He even kept his breathing even, slow and low, whenever he wasn’t alone.

    Buck was invisible to absolutely everyone.

    Well… everyone except Eddie Diaz.

    Summary

    “You really love that kid, huh?” Buck murmured against his chest, and Eddie smiled, a soft chuckle making his chest (and Buck’s head) shake. “I do. He deserves everything I can give him and so much more. I’d do anything, give up anything, to make sure Chris is happy and safe.”

    “You’d... sell your car for him?” He asked, looking up as Eddie scoffed.

    “Please. In a heartbeat.”

    Buck rose a brow, fingers circling Eddie’s palm. “You’d sell your house?”

    “Without a doubt.” Eddie locked Buck’s fingers in his own, bringing their hands to his lips, kissing each of Buck’s knuckles.

    “Would you sell your soul?”
