here’s how buddie roommate era can still win-

landslide by fleetwood mac is BANNED at 118 karaoke nights because buck starts crying so maddie starts crying so chimney starts crying so hen starts crying so karen starts crying so eddie starts crying so ravi starts crying and harry just watches as they all hug and screamsing on stage together and texts athena to come pick him up cuz he’s scared

there’s an AU out there where eddie becomes a masked vigilante hero and it’s obvious to everyone at the 118 that the guy in a slutty turtleneck and leather pants calling himself El Bombero doing MMA on the guys harassing women walking home at night is one Eddie “Fight Club” Diaz EXCEPT for buck because, “eddie would never do something illegal”

thinking about chris feeling uneasy about eddie bonding with theo. and it making him consider what it would have been like if shannon had actually been pregnant before she asked eddie for a divorce and then immediately got fridged. and having to admit that he might have hated that, because what if shannon had been able to be present for a child that wasn’t chris. and him telling buck this, and buck having to admit he’s felt a similar way about his own parents. and how they might have loved him if he’d saved daniel. and how chris might shift a little closer to buck on the couch as they watch eddie stop theo from jumping off the top of the jungle gym. and how chris might whisper to buck that he likes to see his dad run around like an idiot. and that he’s happy buck showed up and never left. and that buck is gonna be a really good dad. and buck gets to say. well yeah. i had practice with the best kid in the whole world. and someone cries and it’s probably theo skinning his knees but it’s also probably buck.

buck and eddie are so freakishly in sync that they would plan to propose on the same day in very similar ways and either propose at the same time OR play mind games with themselves and others by trying to outsmart each other

if buck and eddie had a child via surrogate there’s a chance they’d ask maddie for an egg and use eddie’s sperm which would. create a beautiful doe-eyed competently evil child that would, unfortunately, be the literal death of my messy best friend Buck Buckley

eddie “the MOST single father” diaz has 100% licked his thumb and wiped at gunk on buck’s face before.

RIP bobby nash, you would’ve had so much fun lovingly tormenting ravi with your father-in-law act

buck and taylor should never have dated because i’ve never seen a man more in need of a bitchy best friend who isn’t also his work partner and life partner and coparent and also a huge disaster

eddie is going to be a total menace to chris now that buck is taking care of theo. like, eddie will get teary eyed watching buck read theo a bedtime story and think how long it’s been since chris let him do that and how fast his baby’s growing up and he’s gonna absolutely go a little crazy and try to do things like Hug His Teenage Son In Public and squish up too close to him on the couch when they play video games and fuss over his hair and his clothes and why are you hanging out with your friends tonight you just saw them all day at school :( why not stay at home and hang out with papa :( sad papa :( and chris will text buck asking if he can borrow a small child to distract eddie so he can study in peace for a couple hours

theo and jee are going to be absolute terrors together and i worry for chim’s physical safety tbh

one day when i get back to the leverage au i want to give the eliot/parker “teach me how to like stuff”/“i didn’t feel anything for a long time…my food makes people feel what i feel” lesson to bobby and buck
