You’re completely right but seriously, wait a minute
or: Buck and Eddie find themselves in the middle of another betting pool. Once again, it goes about as well as you’d expect (but maybe just a little bit better).

Summary
After a pause, Eddie asked, “You ever think about just… keeping it going?”
Buck blinked. “What, like living together forever?”
A snort filled the air, and Eddie looked half amused and half serious. “I dunno, maybe? Something like that. I mean, look, it’s a new year, right? Anything could happen. But neither of us wanna be alone forever. So, maybe if we’re both still single in a year or whatever, we could just—” he waved a hand vaguely, like he was lassoing the future— ”make it official.”
“Official?” he echoed, head even fuzzier now.
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “Yeah, we could just get married, or something close enough to it."
Buck’s heart tripped over itself.
On New Year's Eve, Buck and Eddie made a drunken pact: if they were both still single in a year, they'd marry each other. They didn't mean to start sabotaging the other's love life to make it happen, but somewhere along the way, that's exactly what they ended up doing.
Now the only question is... how far are they willing to take it?

Summary
And he’s calling Maddie like he promised he would years ago. And she doesn’t pick up, because she’s gone too. And his breathing is fast and there’s tears running down his cheeks and he speaks into the phone “It’s getting bad again Mads. I said I’d tell you if it did. And I think now, it’s getting bad again.”
But he hears the familiar voice of the answering machine “this mailbox is full and not accepting new messages”, so he wipes his face and puts down the phone.
(Or Buck struggles during season 5 when everyone seems to leave, mind plagued with images of Eddie getting shot, and it all just spirals and spirals and spirals. But at least there are people there to catch him when he falls.)

Summary
“Buck?” he comes into view, slowing down from a sprint just before Eddie and doubling over, hands on his knees, breathing heavily. “What the hell are you doing here? Is everything okay? Are you okay? Jesus how did you get past security—”
“Just give me a second” he says, breathing heavily “Let me just… catch my breath”
So Eddie waits the most agonizing minute of his life as his best friend calms down enough to talk, slowly straightening up and holding his gaze, his eyes determined.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. Everything is fine, I’m fine. Apart from, you know, sprinting through LAX with no shoes on.”
Eddie looks down and Buck really doesn’t have any shoes on.
“Where are your shoes?”
“TSA. Doesn’t matter.” He waves him off and Eddie feels like he’s on a prank show.
Or: Eddie goes to El Paso to reconnect with his son, leaves his best friend behind, and finds more in his hometown than he bargained for.

Summary
The lawsuit is done, Buck is back at work, it'll take time, but everything will return to normal eventually, right? The firehouse crew is hurt, and Buck is struggling. He starts to spiral, going back to his old habits, with no one there to see or catch him. How long can he last on the downward trajectory? Or will someone notice before it's too late?
i.e Buck struggles with his mental health and relationships following a lawsuit against his fire department.
I'm bad at summaries. Just your typical post-lawsuit fic.
