Summary
"I just—you do so much for me." Buck runs his hands through the hairs on the nape of his neck, tugging them lightly.
"There is absolutely nowhere else I would rather be," Eddie walks up to him slowly, phone in hand. His other extends out, landing squarely on Buck's elbow. "Can I ask you a question?"
Buck nods silently, distracted by the heat of Eddie's palm on his skin.
"Wanna dance with me?"
Buck and Eddie slow-dance it out.

Summary
His mom clears her throat, squinting her eyes at Eddie. “Whose is he? Do you—Do you have a new girlfriend?”
Theo giggles and looks up at her from below. “Eddie doesn’t have a girlfriend! That’s silly!”
Eddie nearly chokes. Silly… Yeah, maybe so. “Uh—No. No girlfriend.”
“Then whose is he, Eddie?” His dad asks.
And with the comedic timing of one of those corny 90s sitcoms, Buck chooses that exact moment to walk out of the kitchen.
Or: Eddie's parents make a surprise visit for Christopher's sixteenth birthday. What they didn't expect was finding a few surprises of their own.
Or: Eddie is convinced the universe hates him when his parents come to visit. With them already believing he and Buck are together, Eddie decides to roll with it.

FAKE ENGAGEMENT + FRIENDS TO FIANCES

Summary
He’s born as Evan Buckley to parents who don’t want him.
Evan means spare parts. Evan means not good enough. Evan means disappointment and failure, you’re reckless, and you’re too much. Forgotten birthdays and football games.
Under a bright blue sky, he’s reborn as Buck.
“‘Cause you’re fast and you’re strong and you’re stubborn as hell,” says another Evan, clapping him on the back.
“Yeah, and you kinda get that deer in the headlights look when you get confused,” the third Evan ribs.
And Evan - Buck - is fine with that.
Buck feels like him. He tries it on. He likes it.
*
Or - Theo draws a picture of his family at preschool and he’s very proud of it. Eddie is, too. But Buck and Chris? They’re very much bothered and bewildered.

THE buckley-diaz family fic (10/10 I cried)

Summary
"I broke six fingernails trying to claw you out of the ground when the well collapsed."
"I—what?"
"Could barely talk after. Screamed my throat raw when you went down."
Eddie opens his mouth. Closes it.
"It was very much. Not funny. At the time."
Eddie’s—a little taken aback? He’d assumed Buck was upset about the reminder of the ladder truck, or the lightening, but—he’s talking about Eddie’s near death experience, not his own.
Eddie supposes Buck’s worried that trying to dig your best friend out of the earth with your bare hands is as good as a confession.
Which is fine—really, Buck, it's fine—because Eddie’s been making confessions of his own.

Summary
“Sorry, uh, I’m not doing this right,” she says.
“Doing what right?” Eddie asks.
“Actually, sorry, one sec, this is bugging me,” she says before flicking her wrist in the direction of the star. It shifts where it sits atop the tree, untouched, straightening ever so slightly.
“Much better,” she says, turning back to Eddie with a smile.
“H-how did you do that?” Eddie asks.
“I’m your ghost of Christmas past,” she explains, as if it’s the simplest thing on earth. In Eddie’s—albeit, sleep deprived—mind, it certainly is not.
“My…huh?”
OR
On the night before Christmas, Eddie is visited by three (or four) ghosts who show him what it means to let go, to be loved, and to love someone back.
