Summary
After the tsunami, Buck moves in with Eddie, determined to help Christopher through the nightmares that follow. Somewhere between midnight talks and quiet mornings, they cross the line from friendship to something else—but Buck learns too late that they’re not on the same page.
One heated argument about what they are, combined with Buck’s discrimination complaint against the LAFD, shatters the fragile thing they’d built. Now they’re not speaking, and Buck’s left wondering if he’s lost Eddie for good.
But when life-altering news drops into his lap, Buck is forced to decide—will he reach for Eddie, or let the distance between them become permanent?

Summary
“Well?” Buck said, finally facing Bobby. “Is it what you wanted? What you expected to happen? You told me they wouldn’t let me back. You told me, pushed, actually, saying I wasn’t ready. Said they were the ones holding me back and that’s why I had to find another job for the time being.”
“This isn’t what I wanted.” Bobby said quietly.
“Ok.” Buck nodded. “I guess … I guess that’s that.” Buck walked over and took the letter back and kept walking to head toward the stairs to actually clean out his locker.
“What the hell is going on?” Eddie demanded.
“I’m being transferred.” Buck said, looking back over his shoulder.

„There was a bomb in a villa on Windsor. The house should be clear, but we have at least 2 victims trapped in there, one cop and a civilian.“ Chim explained in the engine.
"Were they able to reach the cop?" Buck asked, concerned.
"Not yet, so we have no idea if either of them survived." Chimney answered.
OR
When the 118 gets dispatched to a collapsed building they meet a few officers of the Midwilshire Devision but Buck gets trapped with one of their officers which causes Eddie to worry about him.

Summary
Swept away by the massive receding wave, bleeding head and battered body slamming into far too much debris to get out of this mess with only scrapes and bruises, Buck had no idea how he ended up in this position and yet was not surprised at all to be here.
...
Eddie noticed something unnaturally bright in the distance, floating towards the shore. As the mysterious object got closer in sight, Eddie realized in horror that it was a human - the bright red button-up covering a blood-stained white tee, worn by a man who was not moving or even making any noise.
...
It seemed as if the secretion Eddie’s tentacles released with every move was able to act as a salve for the human, allowing these particular wounds to seal. With his little prior contact with humans, Eddie had no idea this was a possibility, so this discovery felt miraculous with the daunting situation in front of him. Eddie started to move his tentacles across other parts of Buck’s body, lightly caressing the bleeding limbs while trying to get his dazed attention once again.AKA
Omega Buck is caught in the tsunami, and the receding wave takes him out to the home of Tentacle Creature Eddie, who takes care of him in more ways than one.

Summary
Almost a week after leaving L.A., Evan "Buck" Buckley is back with a plan and a newfound determination to get back the job and the family he lost. This time, he's the one in control and he's adamant that no one will take that away from him.
He decides to keep his return to L.A. a secret until he's ready to face them one by one. With some interesting but much-needed conversations on the horizon, Buck readies himself for the fight ahead of him.
OR, Buck returns to L.A. to try to fight for his job.
This is a sequel to my other Fic 'Can't Keep Chasing This Fire (I'm so Damn Tired)' and would make more sense once that one has been read.

Summary
When the wave hit, Buck did what he always did - he fought. For his life, yes, but more importantly, for Christopher’s. And he did it. Against all odds, he found Chris. Saved him.
Until he lost him again.
So Buck searched. Ignoring the exhaustion, the pain, the strange stillness that filled the ruined streets of LA, he searched. He just had to find Christopher, and everything would be fine.
It had to be.
Inspired by the interview in which Oliver Stark was told, “If my child went into that water, the next second, I don’t care if it’s suicide, I would be in the water after him.”

Summary
"It’s Dr. Wells.
The Dr. Wells Bobby had sent Buck to, over a year and a half ago.
The same one he couldn’t quite admit had taken advantage of him, had made him feel numb whenever he tried sharing his feelings, who made it impossible to open up to any other therapist—
She was there and she had a baby. A baby who couldn’t be more than ten months old. A baby with his blonde hair and bright blue eyes, not her dark hair and dark eyes."
or
Dr. Wells had a baby & never told Buck.

Summary
“I can’t believe I trusted you with my son,” he spits the words like venom, and they might as well be to Buck. He swings the crutch at Buck, and-
Buck lurches upright with a yelp, chest heaving with quick, ragged breaths. Chris is gone. He’s gone, and it’s all Buck’s fault. He squeezes his eyes shut and wills the noise to go away, begging for it to just be a dream.
“-uck? Evan?”
Or, in which Buck has a nightmare while sleeping over at the Diaz house, and Eddie comforts him.

Summary
Eddie was tired of sitting next to hospital beds waiting for his boyfriend to wake up.
Of course, this was the first time since he and Buck became boyfriends that Buck ended up in the hospital, but that was besides the point. The feelings were always there, albeit very, very, very hidden. Really the only difference between then and now is that Eddie was allowed to hold Buck’s hand.
Actually, with how weirdly close their friendship has been, he’s probably always been allowed to hold Buck’s hand.
The point is that Eddie was tired of sitting in terrible chairs under terrible lighting drinking terrible coffee.

Summary
But then something catches his eye, and he goes ‘huh’.
“I’m going to get us some food, okay?” he says, eyes glancing towards the bright, colorful display that had drawn his attention.
“Hm? Yeah. Okay.”
The response is as concerning as the rest of his partner's behavior, but Eddie already has a plan in mind, making sure Buck knows to stick around the area as he beelines his way to the stall he has set his sights on.
A carnival game.

Summary
There was a heavy sigh from the other side of the phone line. Whoever this woman was, she seemed to be struggling between following protocol and just saying everything here and now.
“My name is Dr. Grey” after a few moments, she introduced herself, “I'm calling from Grey-Sloa...”, she cleared her throat, “I'm sorry. From LA General, since you are an emergency contact of Mr. Evan Buckley. Can you confirm this?” she said, obviously deciding to follow protocol.
or
The consequences of the bombing were much more serious for Buck. He was already almost desperate, but the universe decided to throw another serious test, washing away half of the city with streams of water. But, as strange as it may sound, it turned out to be a ray of hope.
