    Summary

    Really, it was Lena’s fault. She’d been the one to demand a video when Eddie had finally caved and sent an SOS to the group chat asking if anyone was willing to trade.

    “Is anyone interested in trading jerseys with me? Preferably for a smaller size,” Eddie had said because knowing his coworkers, one of them would’ve been a smart ass and gave him an even bigger size. “I ordered an XL because I’m usually a XL but… the way it fits makes me look like I’m fucking one of the players.”

     

    Eddie wasn't trying to go viral. He just wanted to trade his jersey. But then something called Booktok got involved.

    Summary

    “Victim is Charles Dumont. Three gunshot wounds to the chest. Looks like an attempted robbery. There was a case of bourbon with a bottle missing and we found Charlie’s wallet tossed a few blocks from here. And Eddie?” Athena stopped just as she got to the door and turned him with a serious expression on her face. “There’s a witness.” 

    Her frown dipped under the professional mask she was known for and Eddie caught the flicker of concern pulling at her composure.

    “You know him?” 

    Athena pressed her lips into a tight line and nodded. 

    “Evan Buckley. He’s the bartender here. He was helping Charlie restock tonight when he heard a noise and saw it happen.”

     
    Homicide Detective, Eddie Diaz, is called in to investigate the murder of a local shield and ladder bar owner. There he meets his only witness, Evan "Buck" Buckley.

    Summary

    “Hi, this is Firefighter Buckley with the 118. Isabel and Josephina got a clean bill of health, sir. You don’t have anything to worry about, I’ll be here with them if they have any questions for us,” Buck reassures, and, surprisingly, he’s met with absolute silence on the other end.

    He waits a few seconds, then lowers the phone to check if the call dropped. It still says ‘Edmundo’ on the screen, and Buck catches a glance at the contact picture of said Edmundo on Isabel’s phone, and gapes for a moment. The guy’s real young, holding a newborn baby in his arms, baseball cap pulled down over most of his face but a dazzling smile, clear as day, peaks out.

    “Right. Uh, thank you, Firefighter Buckley.” And wow, oh. It’s a nice voice too, velvet and rich sounding. A little gravelly, but in a very pleasant way. Buck likes it. But not in any way that means something. Objectively, it’s a nice sounding voice. Right.

    ***

    Or, the five times Abuela and Pepa try to matchmake probationary firefighter Buck with freshly single dad Eddie moving to Los Angeles, and the one time they don't need to do anything at all.

    Summary

    Eddie's breath is warming his face, fanning against his neck. Buck can't see, but he's pretty sure Eddie's on top of him.
    "You— you just called me baby."
    And wow, Eddie's chuckle sounds angelic.
    His eyesight is blurry. But he can see now- they're trapped in a small space, barely big enough for the two of them. Eddie's, in fact, on top of him, and he must be hurt real bad because he can't feel any pain. The air is stale, heavy with nothing but shaky exhales.
    "This is bad," he chokes out. He can feel Eddie nodding, and wow, their faces are really close. Have Eddie's lips always been this plump?

    It starts after Buck drives to Texas to go get Christopher back.
    Then a lot of bad stuff happens, and, to make things even worse, he calls Tommy "Eddie."
    Buck really hates his life.

     

    Or, Eddie is so in love with Buck even Buck has started to realize it. He's just not sure what to do with it.
