Summary
Buck gets an unfortunate call while driving and spirals before getting hit by a drunk driver. Surprise, coma!buck is real and can hear the things people (Eddie and Maddie) say while he's unconscious. Follows the struggles Buck deals with while trying to come back and the ones he has to face if he does.
6.07 spec, so the sperm donor issue is a Thing.
or:
There’s silence for a few moments as Buck struggles to no avail. Then, “Chris misses you.” A face flashes in Buck’s mind. Curly hair, like his. Blue eyes, just a few shades off from his own. Glasses. Big, goofy grin. For a beat, he thinks he’s seeing the child he could have had. Then- no, the name sinks in and no, this isn’t his kid. It’s just the one he wishes was his. “He’s been asking about you, if he can see you. I- I keep telling him no. You- you wouldn’t want him to see you like this, when you can’t respond. I know that. But.. it’s hard Buck,” he admits, his voice breaking, “it’s so hard. I don’t want the next time he sees you to be… to be at a funeral. I really, really need you to come back.”
It’s more painful than the crash itself when Buck realizes he can’t do what the voice is asking.

Summary
“Hi, Buck,” Chris grins, his eyes sparkling mischievously behind his black framed glasses.
Buck just stares at him, still not saying anything. He can’t remember when he last took a breath but oxygen was the least on his priority list when Eddie and Chris are here right now.
“Hi, Buck,” Eddie echoes the greeting pulling Buck’s stare on himself. A soft smile and something so, so gentle lights up his eyes.
“I think we broke him, dad,” Chris snickers, nudging Eddie with his elbow who just hums in agreement.
“I – uhm, I didn’t uhm – w-what are you guys doing here?” He stammers, his eyes still wide with disbelief as he takes a much needed breath.
“Heard you were in desperate need of some Christmas decorations.” Eddie crosses his arms as he raises his eyebrow, the look in his eyes far too knowing for Buck’s liking. Man, Buck has forgotten how well Eddie can read him when he’s not just three pixels on a facetime call.
Or, Eddie and Chris surprise Buck for Christmas and give him everything he's ever wanted in the span of seven days.

Summary
Once everyone heads off to the bunks after dinner, Buck wastes no time in dragging one of the stools from the kitchen over to the Tetris cabinet, where he, too, settles in as if he were getting into bed.
The cabinet is new but the interface is a replica of the original, and when he boots the monitor up, Buck is faced with pixelated fireworks and a cartoon version of Saint Basil’s Cathedral. He nudges the red joystick and the main menu pops up. The left side of the screen reads YOUR GOAL IS TO FILL LINES!
Buck cracks his knuckles.
or, Buck plays Tetris. And a lot of it.

Summary
He doesn’t want to go. There’s so much here for him—so much to fight for, but he’s been fighting for so long, and there’s only so much he can do when he’s pinned and bleeding steadily. There’s not much to fight anymore except God, and God’s seemingly made a choice.
And, just as Buck was finally starting to understand, too.
Sniffing, he asks, voice cracking, “Eddie?”
He’s scared. There’ve been so many close calls, but not quite as close as this, and he’s terrified, but there’s too much to say. Too much on the line. He can’t let the fear keep him quiet anymore. He’s wasted so much time on being afraid, and now he’s run out, and he just—
He needs Eddie to know.

or, Buck's dying.
