βDaddy!β Ellie calls for him, and Buck spins around, smile stretching over his face.
βEllie!β he calls back, opening his arms and crouching a little so he can catch her when she takes a leap. He spins her around once before he sets her back down onto her feet. βHi, sweetheart, how was school?β
βIt was good,β she says, slipping her small hand into his. βBut Iβm excited to go home.β
βYeah?β he asks. βBecause weβre hanging out with the Diazes?β
She grins up at him. βYes! And because weβre making lasagna.β
Buck laughs, and, over his shoulder, calls to Eddie and Christopher, βYou guys hear that? Youβre gonna have to compete with the lasagna for Ellieβs attention.β
βOhh, lasagna,β Christopher says dreamily, and Buck and Eddie grin at each other.

Warnings: none
Buck sleeps with Tommy to make Eddie jealous instead of adopting Blaze. Things go differently when Buck shows up as Freddie Fakeman to apologize.Β

The thing is that hugging isnβt something Buck and Eddie usually do. He can count on one, maybe two hands, how many times theyβve hugged in seven years. So he canβt just open his arms and have Buck come crawling into him. He must take different, more calculated measures. "Β Β Β

Having "a lot" of followers on tumblr is funny because probably 80% of them are ghost blogs who haven't been on here in like a decade.
It's like, no no, those aren't my followers, that's a graveyard! I'm the caretaker of a thousands of tombs. I love them, but they've been dead for seven years.
βAw,β Harry says, smiling. βThatβs adorable. Is it likeβis it a thing? Do all of you keep pictures in your helmets?β
A murmur of general consensus ripples through their group. Harry, apparently delighted by this new knowledge, demands to see everyoneβs secret photos.
βTheyβre kind of private,β Eddie says, crouched down to unlace his boots. He has a smudge of soot over his left cheek, and his hair has come loose from the gel, a lock of it curling over his brow. Buck likes him like this, just a little dishevelled.
or, firefighters sometimes keep photographs of the people they love inside their helmets, to remember who theyβre fighting to come home to. eddieβs isnβt what buck expects.Β
