Summary
“Buck, what are you doing?”
“Calling Athena.”
“Why?”
“So she can arrest me.”
“For God's sake,” Eddie cursed, taking his phone. “Let’s backtrack, why do you think you want to eat people?”
“Oh, I don’t know, I got bored with chicken,” Buck spat. “How should I fucking know? I wake up and all of a sudden, I want to put these in your neck.” He pointed at his teeth.
“Just my neck?”
“Eddie!”
or: in which it takes Buck becoming a vampire for Buddie to happen.

Summary
Eddie’s eyes were studying Buck’s face, and whatever he saw there made him say, “there’s no way you can keep this from Maddie.”
“No,” Buck folded immediately. “I could try, but . . .”
Eddie’s mouth quirked into a smile, showing a dimple, and it was literally heroic of Buck to leave the house with all that going on. “Tell Maddie,” Eddie offered. “Swear her to secrecy. And we’ll just keep it to ourselves until Chris is back on Friday.”
He was so smart. His best friend was so smart and also wanted to kiss him and also said they were practically engaged.
“Good plan,” said Buck, fighting gravity to continue his way out the door. “It’s just one week. How hard could it be?”

On a very normal Sunday, Buck and Eddie confess their feelings for each other; what follows is a week of the least normal behavior the LAFD has ever seen.

Summary
“Rise and shine, Edmundo!” Buck cheers from the doorway to the bunk room. “You’re last up for breakfast, Cap made French toast and bacon!”
Eddie blinks. Not the previous day, then—Buck is alive. A dream? Eddie didn’t usually have vivid dreams, and none as realistic as that, but there’s no other way to explain…
Wait, was Buck playing this same song in his dream? Eddie swears he’s never heard it before, but he also swears he heard it then, so surely…
“Hey, you good?” Buck says, taking a couple steps closer, eyebrows furrowed in concern. He pauses the music on his phone. “Look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Or, Eddie gets stuck in a time loop. Buck dies, a lot.
Title inspired by a line from "Already Over" by Sabrina Carpenter

Summary
“I’ll do whatever you want, just, please.” Buck sobs out the last word, eyes burning with unshed tears.
“A vow.” The man leans uncomfortably close to Buck. The knife brushes against his neck, lightly scratching across the top layer of Buck’s skin. The man’s cold blue eyes hold Buck’s full attention. “That’s what I require. Sell me your allegiance.”
Buck stares back at the killer, unable to fully process what is being asked of him. He sees a flash of anger dance in the stranger’s gaze. He's impatient. Unpredictable. Fear pours into Buck's chest as he realizes he might not get a second chance at this. He has to make this count. “I vow to give you complete control over the remainder of my life. My body is yours to destroy—so long as you let my sister live and return safely to her family.”
__
Or, After Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck goes to seek comfort from his sister and walks in on her kidnapping. In order to save Maddie's life, Buck offers up his instead. Unintentionally agreeing to something worse than death.
