coparenting

“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.” His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.” Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Years before joining the 118, Buck’s travels take him to El Paso, where he meets Christopher. When Eddie comes back from Afghanistan and Shannon leaves, Buck ends up staying. As bills pile up, the best move is for them to get married, just for convenience, they’ll divorce when Eddie comes back from his re-enlistment. Then Eddie gets injured and it’s just easier to stay married for a little longer, while Buck gets started at the 118. However, Buck doesn’t mention his ‘husband’ and kid, not feeling like they’re his to keep. When Eddie gets the offer from Bobby, they decide to lie and pretend they don’t know each other, so they can work together. The whole lie gets out of hand as feelings start to become real, until it all comes to a head in the aftermath of the fire engine explosion. AKA: Secret marriage of convenience buddie slow burn AU, where Buck and Eddie have been married for years so Buck could adopt Chris and no one at the 118 knows.

"Yeah? What do I smell like, Murdock?" she said sharply, her tone its most challenging. "Come on, you know what it is. Just say it." It came out all in one breath. He'd been trying to ignore it, trying to breathe past it the whole time, telling himself that couldn't possibly be what that sickly sweet smell was. "Dead bodies." AKA Devil-Dad and Super-Mom: the Sequel!

“Fuck.” “That’s not a nice word.” Tim’s head snaps up, his weapon drawn immediately. Sitting criss cross applesauce on his bed is… a little girl? “Uh… how did you get in here?” Tim asks slowly.
