When Christopher asks to do "25 Days 'Til Christmas" this year, Buck says yes before he even knows what that means. Soon, there's a calendar on the fridge, glitter in the grout, hot cocoa permanently on the stove, and Eddie Diaz quietly realizing that somehow, somewhere between paper snowflakes and late-night movie marathons, Evan Buckley became his favorite holiday tradition. Twenty-five days. One house. A kid with a plan. Two idiots in love. By Christmas morning, something has to give.

After a bad fall on a call, Eddie Diaz wakes up in a hospital bed with a pounding headache, a foggy timeline... and one thing he's sure of: The man sitting at his side, fingers laced tight with his, is his husband. Evan Buckley knows that's not true. They're best friends, partners on and off the truck, tangled up in each other's lives but never quite brave enough to cross that last line. But when Eddie looks at him with raw, terrified eyes and whispers, "Buck?" like he's home, the correction dies on Buck's tongue. The doctors call it retrograde amnesia. Buck calls it a second chance he was never supposed to have. As Eddie pieces his life back together, his son, his job, the 118, he leans on the memories he thinks he has: late-night talks, shared vows, rings that never existed. Buck tries to hold the lie together without breaking under the weight of it, knowing every borrowed moment will hurt more when the truth finally comes out. Because Eddie may have forgotten everything else... but somehow, he never stopped loving Buck.

After the loss of Bobby Nash, the 118 begins to pull itself back together, but Evan "Buck" Buckley is quietly falling apart. Afraid to care for anyone else and risk losing them, Buck distances himself from his friends, even Eddie, the man who's always had his back. But when a near-tragedy forces them to face the feelings they've both buried for too long, Buck and Eddie find themselves fighting for more than just survival. Through grief, danger, and second chances, they discover that love, like the family they've built, can withstand anything. And when the smoke clears, it's about more than what's been lost. It's about who's still standing beside you.

After nearly dying, again, Evan "Buck" Buckley promised himself he'd stop hiding from who he was and what he wanted. So when he met Tommy, a charming pilot with a crooked smile and an open mind, Buck let himself fall. Or at least, he thought he did. But the truth hits hard after a night that was supposed to mean everything, when Tommy tells him he's only in it for the fun. Heartbroken and humiliated, Buck ends up on Eddie Diaz's doorstep looking for someone who won't just walk away. He doesn't expect to fall apart. He doesn't expect Eddie to catch every broken piece. As lines blur and emotions rise, one night changes everything. And when Buck finds himself facing a future he never planned for, he'll realize the love he was searching for was standing right beside him all along. Because nothing made sense... until everything after you.

After being struck by lightning, Evan Buckley survived - but he didn't feel alive. His world was unraveling, his first serious relationship ended, and nothing seemed to make sense anymore... until a chance encounter in a grocery store changed everything. A little girl in meltdown. A foster mom on the verge of giving up. Six homes in eight months. "Nobody wants the broken ones," she whispered. But Buck knew what it was like to feel broken. And he wasn't going to let her go. What began with a gallon of milk turned into a fight for something more - for family, for healing, for love. As Buck takes on the role of a foster father, he finds himself slowly piecing together not just a life for Ava, but a home for himself... one where Eddie Diaz is always nearby, always steady, always watching. Because sometimes love doesn't hit all at once. Sometimes, it's quiet. Sometimes, it's just brave enough to stay. *Based on a Reddit Post*
