Summary
“Dad said that if anything happens to him, I’ll get to live with you. He wrote it in his wish,” Chris says simply, like he’s making complete, logical sense. “And he signed it and everything.”
“His . . . Wish.” Buck repeats. “That he signed?” He’s racking his brain to think of when Eddie might have brought this up or asked him or even mentioned this, but he’s coming up with absolutely nothing. Not a word has left Eddie’s lips about a will or any future plans, but then it suddenly makes sense how he’d come home from his secret meeting a little more relaxed, and then telling Buck to go have some bonding time with Chris, and –
“Oh my god,” Buck groans, covering his face with his hands. “Your dad wrote me into his will.”
“Will!” Chris shouts, the word finally clicking, but then he quickly pauses. “I like wish better.”
--
Or, the one where Chris spills the beans about the will almost immediately.- Language:

Summary
Picking up his receiver in exasperation, Len opened his mouth to greet the caller with the standard 'Homicide, Snart,' but was drowned out by the pitiful, whining voice rushing to speak.
“Oh my God, Joe, I can’t believe I let you and Iris talk me into it! I’m never listening to anything you say ever again for as long as I live, which—God—hopefully isn't much longer! I don’t think I’ve ever been this embarrassed in my entire life! I’m talking worse than that time in eleventh grade when you caught me in the backyard with Carter Cassidy! I'm never going to be able to go to that coffee shop again! God, Joe, I asked him out and he looked horrified! He thought I was only fifteen. Fifteen! I don’t look that young, do I? You know what, don’t answer that. Guys at the precinct call me ‘baby-faced Barry Allen’ behind my back and I’m not totally convinced you didn’t start it…”
Ah. Barry, the remarkable foster son West was always going on about. This should be fun.“I assure you, Barry, I most certainly did not start that nickname,”
“Uhh...you’re not Joe,”
“Correct. I’m his new partner.”
-Partners at the precinct share extensions and Len finds out just how often Joe West's children call from college.

Summary
"She had 9-1-1 talk her through a field tracheotomy.”
Immediately, Buck’s free hand flies towards his throat. He’s only just grazed a patch of gauze before Hen catches his hand and pulls it away.
“Abby… Is a great dispatcher, but she doesn’t have any field experience. Getting instructions over the phone and using a steak knife isn’t really a recipe for a good outcome.” Buck finally looks back over at Hen, and even in the dim light, he can see the tears forming at the corners of her eyes. “The good news is that she was able to open an airway and keep the oxygen flowing to your brain…”
Hen trails off, and Buck gives her hand a little squeeze.
“…The bad news is knife slipped, or she applied too much pressure, and the incision went much further than it should have.”
---
Abby's hand slips when giving Buck a field tracheotomy, and he ends up losing his voice. Despite him thinking so, it's not the end of the world, especially when he meets his replacement.- Language:

Summary
“Can we talk later? Eddie’s son is missing.”
“Well, about that…” Margaret is looking at Chris, like he somehow knows how to break the news. Chris shakes his head. He didn’t want to call any of them in the first place; she can figure it out.
“About – about what?”
“Is someone missing if you know where they are?”
“Do- do you know where Chris is?” Buck’s voice is raised in bewilderment and hope. There’s a clear ‘what!’ in the background, followed by shushing noises.
“I can probably do you one better?”
“Are you – are you telling me that Chris is in Pennsylvania?” Buck is speaking very slowly and very clearly, so different from his usual fast paced ramble. “In Hershey? How did he get there?”
--
Chris fixates about what Buck shared during their conversation before he left for El Paso. Seeing similarities between his situation and Buck’s, he runs off to Hershey to learn more about Buck’s past, and hopefully get some answers for his future.- Language:

Chris <3
---
The worst part is, he thinks Helena is being sincere. She believes with her whole heart and body that Chris would be better with them. It’s not anything malicious, not some evil strategy to castigate his dad. It’s really not anything deeper than an all abiding sense that she knows and can do the best. Which makes it worse.---
It sucks that they couldn’t manage their grief, weren’t able to move on to be the parents I deserved, but it was freeing to know that ultimately, it wasn’t really about me. Even if it did hurt me.”

Summary
Red Hood narrowed his eyes. Again, Nightwing couldn’t see his expression, but that was kinda the point of the helmet. “What do you mean, history repeating?”
“Robin, 15, running away after a rough case. Only clue he left? A note about family.”
Jason stopped himself from flinching, but it was a close thing. Goddamnit, yeah, that hit a nerve. Fuck Dick for that - this wasn’t close to the same thing, ok? No way had he driven Tim off to meet the same fate Jason had.
Right?
---
When Tim disappears after fighting Red Hood in Titans Tower, Dick naturally blames Jason. Jason doesn't want to believe it, but the evidence is pretty convincing. Dick wants his youngest brother safe. Jason doesn't want a kid's death on his hands. Together, maybe they can save a wayward bird and bring the family back together.
Meanwhile, Tim is feeling pretty great about his progress in tracking down Cass. It sucks he had to ditch the others to deal with the Red Hood situation alone, but Batgirl needed her Robin. Jason was annoying, sure, but he could chill out for a minute while Tim went to kick Deathstroke's ass for messing with his sister.
The note he left explained all that, right? Right?

Summary
For the bingo square: Dispatcher Buck
After everything that happened with the sniper, Buck decides he needs a distraction, and a one week pilot program to train first responders as 9-1-1 dispatchers seems like the perfect opportunity. It will get him away from the firehouse, from the memories of Eddie getting shot, from the feelings that seem to be stirring inside of him for his best friend.
But one call, one unexpected emergency, might just change his entire life, for better or for worse.

Summary
Based on prompt by jack_a_rose on the 118 discord:
Ten years ago, Buck got a wrong number text message telling him Thanksgiving Dinner was at 4pm that year and not to be late. Buck replied saying that they had the wrong number and joked asking if he could still have a plate.
He got the reply, "Of course you can, I'll text you the address. I'm a cop, though, so no funny business."
That's how Buck became a yearly addition at the Grant Thanksgiving Dinner, four years before he chose to settle in LA. Four years before he started at the 118.

Summary
“You two are probably the most likely to believe what I’m about to say. I’ll say it once and after that we really don’t have time. We need to get the others. Today is November 14th…”
Hen and Chim cut Buck off with another laugh, like any of this was funny.
“Thank you, Captain obvious.” Chimney chuckled nervously, knowing that something was definitely different by the way Buck was carrying himself.
“Today, is November 14th, 2029. You’ve been gone for five years and apparently now you and everyone else that blipped is back. Get in the car.”
OR
The blip happens, everyone but Buck and Bobby disappear, and Buck ends up with all the 118 children.

Summary
The first person she spotted in the waiting room was Tommy.
He was hard to miss, the man stood at least half a head taller than everyone else. And his bright blue flight suit was like a homing beacon.
His eyes widened when she stepped into his path, expression softening from worry into relief. “What happened? Where are they? Are they -”
Alive sits heavy on her tongue. Tommy holds up a reassuring hand. “They’re alive.”
When Buck and Ravi are injured on a call, Tommy and May have a heart to heart.

Summary
“Oh, Buck,” Karen’s voice took him from his thoughts, and he went back to listening. “You know that’s not the case. Maddie and Chim are still here. We’re still here. Bobby and Athena are still here.”
“But you all have each other," Buck replied. “Maddie has Chim, and you have Hen, and Bobby has Athena. Eddie and Chris? They were mine.”
“And they still are, Buck,” Hen said. “They always will be.”
“Will they, though?” Buck asked. “What happens when Eddie moves back to Texas, and he starts laying down roots there right with Chris? What-what happens when he meets somebody that loves them more than…than anything in the world, and they forget me ?”
****
Denny overhears a conversation between his mothers and Buck about Eddie moving to Texas, and asks Chris via the group chat he and the other 118 kids are in together. Chris is being held hostage in Texas by his grandparents, and desperately is trying to return to LA. With the help of the 118, can the teens get Chris back home and save Christmas?

Summary
He stopped, when he saw the elevator doors still opened, but with his team (his former team, he supposed) inside. He knew he shouldn’t ask them to hold the doors, that much was clear with the way Eddie and Bobby avoided his gaze. So, he slowed down, hoping the doors would close before he reached them.
But then Chimney reached his hand out, stopping the door from closing. Buck paused, surprised by the action.

Or, after the arbitration for the lawsuit, the 118 begins to realize they've made a few mistakes, especially when it comes to Buck.

Summary
Jason's mark has been branded across his back since he was about five, and as normal as that is the words that make it up are decidedly not normal. He's hated it most of his life, but he's always sort of wondered what kind of person would have the very first words their soulmate hears from them be 'Son of a bitch'. He's about to find out.

Summary
“Chim. Weird question?”
Chimney’s chair creaks. Buck cranes his head over the back of the couch and watches him straighten up, pop his back, close the folder.
“You only ever ask me weird questions,” he says, and then crosses the loft to sit in one of the armchairs. He levels Buck with a look that’s way too knowing for the amount of words they’ve exchanged. “What’s up?”
He takes a breath.
“What does it feel like to be a dad?”
in which buck is used to wanting things he's not allowed to have; it's just that he never thought being a father would be one of them.

Summary
If he was being honest with himself, he didn’t want to be alone right now, and the hospital just gave him the reason he needed. The real problem was, Maddie wasn’t answering her phone.
Though, of course, she wasn’t. She was at work. Covering for him. Because he had a date.
“Is there anyone else I can call for you, Mr. Russo?”
Closing his eyes, he rattled off the only number he had memorized, besides his parents in Omaha.
“Evan Buckley,” he said, leaning back on the exam bed to wait. He decided to spend the next, however long it took, cursing himself for not having memorized anyone else’s number.
