    Summary

    “I’ll do it,” Eddie repeats, looking at Buck in one of those silent conversation ways again, but Buck actually can’t figure out what he’s trying to say this time. It messes with his brain, until Eddie speaks again, “I’ll pretend to only be a little offended none of you have thought to ask me before, but Buck, I’ve fixed a lot of cars. I can look at yours.”

    (or, the check engine light comes on in Buck's Jeep, Eddie volunteers to fix it and carpool with him in the meantime, and it all breaks down from there, literally and metaphorically)

    Summary

    So, Eddie thinks he might hate Frank's office.

    It's not that he has anything against the guy's design choices, per se. The gray couch, white knit cushion covers, and perfectly drab rug are certainly… fine. But as Eddie sits on the couch, sinking deeper in every second, eyes landing on the walnut desk tucked into the corner as he pointedly avoids chancing a glance at Frank, his skin crawls. He's 27, punching his problems so hard he nearly kills a man. He's 29, holes in his wall and bags under his eyes, wondering what the point of it all is. He's 32, his son lives three states away, and he's blown his life up again.

    He's 34, and he knows Frank's office has been the backdrop that has punctuated the worst moments of Eddie's life. So he hates it.

    Or; In the months after getting stabbed in a hospital chapel, Eddie's back in therapy. He's throwing up in churches. He's dissociating in elevators. He's being reckless on the job. And somewhere in that mess he maybe realizes he isn't quite as broken as he thought.

    (aka, my post-s9 eddie whump thesis)

    Summary

    Dear Captain Nash,

    I know this email is kind of out of the blue, but I didn’t know who else to reach out to. I’m not even sure how to start this email. One time Buck and I signed up for this pen pal program, but the kid in Maine I was writing with gave up after two rounds of letters. It was during my ancient Egypt phase and I think I scared him off with my questions about mummies. Buck told me I was too cool for him anyway.

    or

    When Chris starts going to church in Texas he reaches out to the only person he can think of who might have some answers, meanwhile Eddie uses his email to try and talk to God, and Buck... well Buck online shops mostly.

    A season 8 rewrite told only through email.

    Summary

    “Holy shit, Eddie. You weren’t kidding. You have a hot husband,” is the first thing Greta says 30 seconds into Eddie pretending he’s not freaking the fuck out about pretending Buck is his husband at his barber’s lesbian wedding.

    He kind of feels like he’s going to puke. This was a bad idea. This was a terrible idea.

     

    Or, a classic case of fake dating a wedding.

    Summary

    “They asked us to share something interesting about our families.”

    “And you—” Eddie stops, presses his lips together, then flicks a hand toward him. “You went with my imaginary engagement.”

    Christopher finally puts his phone away. “I didn’t say you were engaged.”

    “You told everyone I have a firefighter boyfriend.”

    “Yeah.”

    Eddie lifts a hand. “Which firefighter?”

    Christopher gives him a look.

    Eddie waits.

    The look continues.

    He lets his hand fall. “Christopher.”

    “Who do you think?”

    “I’m asking you.”

    Christopher shifts one crutch against the wall and gestures vaguely at Eddie, like the answer should be somewhere on his person. “Buck.”

    Or Chris tells his science club that Buck and Eddie are basically married
