    Summary

    It was a shitshow, to say the least. Despite, what he’d told Bobby all those months ago, he did not have a handle on the problem. He had the opposite. He had zero handles, and he was too embarrassed to bring it up. It was definitely an issue, but it wasn’t too serious. And it didn’t affect anybody besides himself.

    But it was definitely affecting him in a bad way. Hard day at work? Go have sex to feel better. Bobby yell at him for screwing up again? Find an old guy to tell him he’s good for something. See a happy family on a call and remember he hasn’t spoken to Maddie in seven years? Blackout so he doesn’t have to be reminded of that gaping wound.

    It was really bad. Yeah. But like, privately bad. Secretly bad. Except for his roommates, who were starting to get pissed about him stumbling around drunk with his guests. So, he started to look for a new apartment in earnest.

    And just when he was starting to think things were getting actually concerning, and pretty soon he wouldn’t even remember what the point of anything was, who walked into the fire station, looking perfect and attractive and ready to change Buck’s life?

    Eddie fucking Diaz.

    Summary

    “I can be your partner,” Eddie offers.

    Now it’s Buck’s turn to say, “What?”

    “If you want,” Eddie adds, shrugging—all casual like he’s not suggesting getting on a kink app for Buck and bearing the responsibility of being in charge of someone like that. “I mean, like you said, it’s an accountability thing, right? That’s what you want?”

    Or, Eddie accidentally finds the Obedience App downloaded on Buck’s phone. He offers to help keep Buck accountable, only, they end up unintentionally stumbling into a 24/7 TPE relationship without even realizing it.

    Summary

    Eddie shakes his head. "No, Buck, it's my fault. If I had been awake when they took you—"

    "Eddie. We were just in a car crash, you wouldn't have been able to do anything to stop them."

    "No!" he says forcefully. "You don't get it. If I had been awake, they never would have come at all."

    Buck's face flickers through a range of emotions. "What?"

    "Don't look at me like that," Eddie snaps. He feels like his heart has jumped straight from his chest. "I'm not crazy."

    or, the sky is about to explode and Eddie Diaz has OCD (and these things are totally unrelated)

    Summary

    Buck knows it’s not sustainable by the fourth night, when he wakes up sweating and unable to breathe, one hand clutching his ribs where she’d stuck him the first time with the cattle prod and the other reaching to turn on the lamp at his bedside.

    It’s been one week since he got back, so four sleepless nights puts him firmly in the "more bad than good" territory. What the hell is he supposed to do about all this shit? He alluded to therapy when he talked with Eddie at work the other day, but he’s not going to do that. Therapy is totally hit or miss for him. He’s been to two therapists, one was a miss, one a hit, which means he’s due for another miss.

    He’s sure as hell not going to talk to Maddie about it, because that’d be, like, super triggering or something. She just got over her own kidnapping a few years ago. And who else, Eddie? Eddie had a traumatic experience in New Mexico as well; he doesn’t need to be responsible for Buck’s too.

    But the fact of the matter is, something’s got to change. So, Buck decides to start self-medicating.
