Summary
He takes Buck's hand, like he has the right, and sees the evidence of Buck's devotion, a love letter written in blood, etched into every fingertip in a fit of desperation, and Eddie is overwhelmed with his love.
The dam that broke as he fought for air no longer exists, and he doesn't know how to exist without shouting wordlessly about his love for Buck with every fiber of his being, with every word he says, every touch, every look, every breath.
He knows he should be worried, he should try to hide it better, because he cannot risk it, cannot risk destroying what they have, but he is too tired, too woozy, too hurt.
So he holds Buck’s hand, and looks into his eyes, that hold all the light of his existence. It feels like standing in the light of his personal sun, wrapped in its warmth.

Summary
"I need you to wake up." His throat burns. "Chris needs you." A pause, with a shaking inhale. "So do I." The words slip out before he can catch them.
Buck closes his eyes, and squeezes Eddie's hand once. The nurse enters a moment later. His time was up. Buck steps back reluctantly.
The medication begins dripping into Eddie's IV. Slow and steady. Buck watches the monitor before he turns his back to leave. He watches the numbers change, and watches Eddie sink further away.
Everything feels distant, Buck looks down one last time while the nurse guides him toward the door. Buck turns back, just once as Eddie lies motionless beneath the hospital lights. As he walks away, his gut tightens, everything screaming at him to turn back, to stay with Eddie. And somewhere far away, beyond the machines and pain and fear.
Eddie wakes up.
OR
Eddie is critically injured, goes into a coma and dreams that he and Buck are married

Summary
Eddie can’t fathom how Tommy could be so lucky to have someone like Buck and just not worship the ground he walks on, failing to see the miracle standing in front of him. He isn’t perfect, but he’s certain of one thing: he’d do better. He’d be so, so much better for Buck. He might not be worthy of Buck’s love, but Eddie can be a better boyfriend than Tommy ever will and he’s going to show him as if it was the last thing he’d ever do.
Or the one in which Eddie's had enough and finally does something about it.

Summary
Since Eddie left, they’ve been talking non-stop every single day. This unsettling silence doesn’t make any sense – Buck is sure something must’ve happened. Eddie sounded so happy last time they talked because things with his son were finally getting better. There had been a real light in his voice, the kind Buck could recognize even underwater. So, he doesn’t know what might’ve made him vanish into thin air as if he were a ghost. It could be anything, and Buck is scared shitless. It’s a nightmare and Buck can’t seem to wake up from it.
Or the one where Buck goes to his best friend's rescue in Texas, and shit happens.
