Summary
It felt like it took them forever, but Bobby's phone showed that they'd been connected for thirty-two minutes and eighteen seconds by the time they were pulling up in front of a bench that had a miserably wet figure huddled on it.
He jumped out as soon as the car slowed to park at the curb, drops of rain hitting his skin like frozen pinpricks and exacerbating the concern he’d been trying to control.
“Bobby, the umbrella –” Athena called after him, exasperated. “You can’t help if you also get soaked.”
He cursed internally but turned to grab the umbrella. He didn’t care so much about himself, but the quicker that Buck was shielded from the freezing sheet of rain bearing down on them the better.
--
Or, Buck's post-lightning strike run doesn’t go as planned. Cue protective Bobby and a self-indulgent amount of fluff.

Summary
After Katara's marriage dissolves, she realizes that she doesn't have a foundation to stand on. Nothing makes sense, everyone is hurting, and she isn't even certain if she made the right choice. The only person who truly understands, once again, is Zuko.
After a thousand small choices, Zuko doesn't even know where he went wrong. But something went terribly, horribly wrong. Having lost so much already, Zuko tries to focus on his daughter and control what he can of his own pain.
Katara and Zuko try to work out what blame really means, what they deserve, and what they've earned.
(Basically, I got pissed off thinking about how OOC Aang is in AtLA: LoK and how Mai deserved better character growth. Then I tried to think of a reason why it would have ended so poorly. The reason I thought of was super dark and it made me sad so I'm giving it to you guys.)

Summary
“It’s like a bad joke: how many firefighters does it take to put out a lab fire? Two, but you gotta put them in a time loop first.”
“That doesn’t even make sense.”
“Give me another loop, I’ll workshop it.”
Ravi and Buck make it out of the lab. They're the only ones that do. But you know what they say-- if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.

Summary
Travis had taken what O'Toole had discovered and given it to a top firm of private investigators. They had tracked down five young men and boys, related to Eve though the female line, who might have the same 'affliction' as Steven. Orin and Evie knew they could offer these boys a secure and comfortable future. They had identified five boys, of which Josiah Sanchez, at nineteen was the oldest. He, and the youngest, J.D.Dunne, had been the easiest to track down.

Summary
Eddie doesn’t wake up screaming on his first day back at the 118 after the shooting – he gets up like normal, eats a piece of welcome-back cake, falls into his place in the firehouse like nothing ever happened.
Life moves on. What’s that saying? Time heals all wounds. He’s healed – everything is fine.
Except that the more time that passes, the more Eddie’s grip on himself breaks.

Summary
Whatever retort Eddie thought he was expecting, this was not it. Empty eyes and a mirthless laugh; a tight-lipped smile that might as well have been a grimace, a slow nod before Buck dragged his gaze back up to flit across the team’s faces and land, finally, on Eddie’s.
He almost missed it – a flash of something cold across dull blue eyes, there and gone in the same moment: resignation, or catharsis, or apathy – something cruelly familiar and dangerously absolute.
“I should have died under that truck. At least then, you would still have been my family.”

Summary
“Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.
“Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”
***
When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.

Azula :( (ch.5)
---
“I’m ending the war because it’s the right thing to do—”The waterbender snorted. This was Zuko’s diplomatic scowl.
“—But we didn’t lose. You beat one man. Won one battle against an untested new fleet. You didn’t beat the Fire Nation. We can talk about terms for prisoner of war exchanges, and withdrawal of troops from contested areas, and even what exactly our final borders will be, but we’re not going to talk about who won. Because you didn’t.”
-
And yeah, killing people was terrible, and no one should force kids like them to do things like that—but what did Aang think they’d been doing, up in the airship fleet? Why did he get to stay all clean but they had to—And Ozai. Why did he get to live, when all those low-level soldiers, the guys just steering the ships or working in the engine rooms, the ones whose heartbeats had been so scared and their shouts had sounded so young, why’d they have to die? Was it only royalty that got special no-kill attention from the Avatar? She loved Twinkletoes, he was like the flighty loveable annoying awful amazing brother she’d never wanted but suddenly had, but—but he could be such an airbender, and knowing someone’s name, being able to put a face and a history to them, didn’t make them more worthy of living. A lot less worthy, in Ozai’s case.
-
Uncle was one too. A Fire Nation General. And the way they were talking and laughing, these guys were probably war buddies of his. And Toph realized something she’d always known but didn’t like to think about, that Uncle had killed people. Her people. Probably a lot more than anyone else here. The Dragon of the West had been good at his job, and those guys laughing with him… they all remembered that, because it really hadn’t been that long since the siege of Ba Sing Se. There was respect in their voices, in the way they deferred the conversation to any story he started, in the way their bodies slanted more towards him than to anyone else in the circle. They liked him.
-
The Avatar could take away bending.Maybe somehow that wasn’t as horrifying to waterbenders or earthbenders or airbenders, because the Avatar’s group looked a little uneasy (the non-bender still looked smug, of course he did, he couldn’t understand), but the Fire Nation side of the table had stopped breathing.
And then they were breathing very carefully, the kind of breaths that stoked inner flames.
Inner flames. Not the earth under their feet or the water of their seas, not the air around them. Inner flames. Agni’s gift was their heart, their life, it couldn’t be snuffed without killing the bender.
How could the airbender sit there talking of peace when he’d ripped Agni’s hand from one of His chosen? The Avatar was the World Spirit, but Agni was the Sun God. The sun shone on his people and kindled flames in the strongest. Death was death, but to have their souls ripped out and their bodies kept living, beyond the sight of their god—
-
Azula… as much as she threatened, he’d couldn’t picture her killing for fun, only for a purpose. It wasn’t a morality issue. He wouldn’t kid himself that it was, especially when those were four of their people she’d murdered. But her perfectionism abhorred waste; wasted energy, wasted actions, wasted lives that could have been grovelling in their rightful place at her feet instead of cluttering up her floor. Ba Sing Se had been the most bloodless victory of the war, even if the lack of casualties had probably made it easier for the Earth Kingdom and Uncle’s group to take back in the end. …Which was an observation he was never going to share with her.She must have felt really cornered by Uncle, or had something important he’d gotten in the way of her doing. Otherwise she’d have just gone around the guards, danced them in circles to prove not just that she was superior but that she was so far beyond them as to be untouchable. Uncle didn’t get that. He’d… never really tried to get Azula.

[Toph's Robes] were suitably green, so she was color-coded for the convenience of all the sighted people. Just once, she wanted to go in a clothing shop, mix everything up, and come out in colors so uncoordinated that people would have to pay attention to the person under the clothes. Maybe she could take Sparky with her.

sometimes an onion really is just an onion (and that’s all there is to it) by snarkymuch

Summary
“Shit, shit, shit,” he cursed as he gripped the wrist of his injured hand, holding it above his heart. The cut wasn’t massive and, by design, not something you could stitch, but that didn’t make it any less messy or risky.
The blood thinners were not his friend right now.
A singular river of red trailed down his forearm to his elbow, then dripped onto the floor, leaving little splatters that his shoes soon smeared against the tile.
“Towel, towel, towel,” he said, spinning on his heel, gaze raking the room frantically. “Fuck—shit, there you are.”
Buck wanted fajitas, so he went to the store for the sweet onions he needed, but he got the wrong kind because he unexpectedly ran into the team, which had nothing to do with why he was crying in his kitchen--obviously, the shitty onions were to blame.
And his day just gets worse from there--as he ends up fileting off a strip of skin, bleeding everywhere, then accidentally hitting his talk-to-text and sending a ramble he never meant anyone to hear to the last person on earth to care: Eddie.

Eddie stands, stupefied, in the centre of his home and not a single possession is out of place. No furniture upturned, the windows still intact in their frames. Every photo and drawing and lamp still in one piece.
But there should be damage right? Catastrophic, irreversible damage.
It feels like there should be.
Because Eddie had just pulled out the pin and thrown a grenade into his life that had carelessly, brutally obliterated all his carefully controlled peace.

Summary
Hen paused, for seconds that almost dragged into a minute. “You know,” she started softly, “We’ve all been going through it the past couple of years. Pandemics, shootings, break ups, mental breakdowns, spleen removals, buildings falling onto people. Kidnappings all around. Just one thing after another. And now, that things are settling down – there’s, –” Hen hesitated, looking for the word, “a void.”
OR
Buck breaks all the way down after 6A. Featuring; Buck being bad at math, drives with Karen Wilson, Lena Bosko wearing floral print dish gloves, Sue Blevins using slang like she’s a youth, incoming DSM diagnoses, and Eddie Diaz: amateur kidnapper.

Summary
But when Buck tried to ask him if everything was okay with him, Eddie just said, “Me? Of course. Why wouldn’t it be?"And Buck really didn’t have an answer for that so he let it go.
Because Eddie doesn’t hide that stuff from him, anymore. Not since the day Buck broke down his bedroom door and found him sobbing in a heap on the floor.
So when Eddie says everything’s okay, Buck believes him.
or, after the lightning strike, Buck recovers. Eddie doesn’t.

Summary
“Come on, Buck,” Eddie grits out, as loudly as he can to be heard past the mask over his face and the roar of the flames a few floors above them, “come on, four more flights, we can do it,”
Buck just lets out a pained laugh, tightening his hold across Eddie’s shoulders—he’s been losing his footing more frequently and Eddie’s getting increasingly worried that they’re not going to make it to the ground level.

“Don’t you want to get back out there, though?” Buck asked. “I mean, you kept asking about my couch, but what about you?”
“I’ve had a couch this whole time,” Eddie countered.
“A metaphorical couch.”
“The hell is a metaphorical couch?” Chimney asked Hen and Ravi under his breath, earning only a shrug and raised eyebrows in response.
