    Summary

    Had Buck been more attuned to those around him and the other gossip aside from that which pertained to him, he would have been aware he wasn’t the only gentleman grieving at Admiral Nash’s ball. Captain Edmundo Diaz, a recent arrival in Los Angeles, was nursing his own broken heart mere feet away from Mr. Buckley.

    Summary

    The thing about Eddie and Hen bonding is that he might not want to admit it, but Buck’s jealous. He’s achingly and overwhelmingly jealous. He’s jealous of Eddie.

    He knows how it sounds, he knows what people think. He hasn’t even tried to raise it with Maddie, because she’d laugh at him and she wouldn’t believe him, and she’d ask if he was sure he wasn’t jealous of Hen. It really isn’t that.

    Hen is special. Hen’s always been there for him, always been a steady and constant support like no one else.

    The thing that no one seems to understand is that he lost Eddie months ago.

    Episode tag to 9x5 Día de los Muertos, in which Buck really truly is jealous of Eddie, not Hen.

    Summary

    “Eddie, I’m in love with you,” he says, heart thrumming in his chest, in his throat, in his mouth. He feels hot and cold and dizzy by turns.

    “What?” asks Eddie faintly, barely even a question.

    “I’m in love with you,” Buck says again. “I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to, but I am. I am.”

    “You– Right, okay,” says Eddie, so visibly buffering that it makes Buck’s heart clench a little in his chest. Of course he’s in love with Eddie. How could he possibly have let himself pretend otherwise. “Wasn’t expecting this, bud,” says Eddie, and he sounds so shocked that Buck can’t help a wry smile. Of course Eddie’s surprised. They must be the only two people in existence who didn’t already know. “I– Buck, man, you know that I care about you, but…”

    “I know,” he says gently to Eddie, because he did know, but that doesn't make this moment hurt any less.

     

    ---

    Post season 8, Buck confesses his feelings, Eddie lets him down as gently as he can, and they both try to figure out how to be just friends.

    Summary

    Chris wants his dad. He wants his bed. But he can't have those yet, and he and Dad never really text because if Dad’s not working they’re usually together or one of them is too busy to text, so texting Dad feels weird, but Buck… He can text Buck.

    do you think it was a good thing for Pandora to keep hope in the box?

    The little dots pop up immediately, which Chris wasn’t expecting.

    I’m not sure. I do know that it technically wasn’t a box, it was a pithos, which is like a big jar they used for storage. Box is a mistranslation, but it became so widely used that we all just roll with it now.

    It’s a very classic Buck response. The dots keep going.

    On that note, “hope” isn’t an exact translation either. Another way that people translate it is “deceptive expectation.” Hope isn’t necessarily deceptive, and we tend to use it in a positive way, so it’s maybe not the BEST word to use, but I guess in English we don’t have a better one for “deceptive expectation” and “hope” sounds pithier.

    Deceptive expectation. Huh.

    Summary

    "You’re acting like you’re not going to have to miss me,” Buck says, pressing the bruise. “Like I’ll be able to come over whenever I want, crash at your place when I get too tired, like you’re not leaving the timezone.”

    “Yeah, well I’m trying to keep you in my life,” Eddie bites out, “and you’re acting like this is some kind of permanent goodbye.”

    “This is goodbye, Eddie,” Buck retorts, his jaw tense. “You’re leaving.”

    *

    In which Eddie is delusional, Buck is defeated, and they are both handling the move well.
