Summary
They’re on that fucking hill for hours, and the rain doesn’t get heavier but it also doesn’t let up at all. It’s honestly pretty fucking miserable, just getting increasingly sodden, and there’s a fear that anyone trapped under debris could drown if they’re really fucking unlucky. They’re trying their best, but a disaster like this? Even under the best conditions, you can't save everyone. These are not the best conditions.

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
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” Chris says quietly. “But you did stop talking to us. And that left a mark.”
Buck swallows.
Chris nudges his knee. “You know, I used to think you and my dad would end up together,” he says.
The words come so out of left-field that Buck gets whiplash from the speed he turns his head.—
Ten years later, Buck sees Chris at a coffee shop.

Summary
I slept with Buck, he imagines saying out loud. To Bobby, probably. Bobby gives good advice, always listens carefully, like it matters. Doesn't judge, at least not out loud.
Gave. Bobby gave good advice. Bobby is never going to look at Eddie across the big table at the station loft with a faintly amused expression on his face while he tells Eddie something that Eddie deep down already knew.
I slept with Buck. I don't know what to do.
Bobby would raise his eyebrows and say, Well, maybe you should talk to him.

Summary
Eddie presses his mouth to soft messy curls, inhales the eucalyptus and mint conditioner. Buck is sprawled around him, holding him, his body weight welcome and grounding. He’s been a fixture on Eddie’s path since that first shift, an unchanging constant always nipping at his heels. Maybe they were always gonna end up here.
Three nights after Eddie moves back to LA for good, Buck sleepwalks into his bed.
(grief, change, and homecomings.)
