Author’s Note: This is AU because Shannon lives. She and Eddie had a very civilized divorce and didn’t try to get back together. It’s not really integral to the story, except to say that Eddie is softer here—he’s suffered less and didn’t end up joining a dumb fight club.
Summary: Buck made a decision—seeking friendship over something fleeting and temporary within days of meeting Eddie Diaz. In retrospect, he really should’ve had a conversation with Eddie about it.
