Summary
After years of chaos, Buck has finally built the life he once thought was impossible: a soulmate he gets to call his husband, three kids who are his entire universe, and a new beginning in LA that feels like hope. But just when everything settles, a diagnosis shatters the illusion of safety and forces Buck to confront the fight of his life.
The fic where Buck is diagnosed with cancer and has to fight for the future he always wanted — and the family that refuses to let him face it alone.

Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

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.
