Summary
“Stop.” Buck said quietly, and Bobby, weirdly enough, stopped trying to explain.
“Buck?” Athena said gently, looking at him a little worriedly.
“Bobby, what are you doing?” Buck asked carefully.
“I’m doing what’s best for you.” Bobby stated firmly, his eyes pleading with Buck for him to understand. Except Buck didn’t understand.
“No, you aren’t.” Buck said sadly. “Bobby, you only just got off of suspension when I was released from the hospital, months ago. Suspension for not telling the truth to the brass. We both know I’ve been cleared by four separate medical doctors, as well as three separate psychologists. I recertified. I set records when I recertified. What are you telling anyone for them to believe your word over other professionals?”

Summary
Evan “Buck” Buckley was not an honest person as much as he would like to be or even was trying to be in his own way. His dishonesty wasn’t malicious in the slightest though. He had his reasons, of course, but his entire identity was built on a shaky Jenga tower of lies. As much as he built it up, one by one the blocks were still removed over the years making the tower less and less stable.
Buck joined the 118 fresh out of the Navy and braced himself for all the questions that were about to come his way which he did not want to answer. Then, like a gift from above, somehow and shockingly, no one had read his resume, and he found he could start all over again, be a new person, someone completely different or maybe who he was supposed to be all along.

Summary
The 118 finds out Buck’s not just a firefighter — and never really was.
Bobby’s in a hospital bed. The team’s asking questions.
And Eddie?
He just keeps standing beside him.
(Or: the one where Buck’s secrets come out, Bobby’s life hangs in the balance, and love finally stops being a thing they don’t talk about.)

Summary
After returning from Afghanistan Buck and Eddie move to LA to put down roots and in the process build the family they deserve, not the ones they were born with.
-
“What are you doing here?” Buck asked, “I thought you were going to station six?”
Eddie had that shit eating grin he got whenever he was being a cheeky bastard, “Last minute change of plans.” He gave a faux nonchalant shrug.
Suddenly Buck’s face fell into a suspicious glare, “You’re not fucking with me, are you? Rocking up to tease me with those abs of yours and then fucking off to your actual station?”
Eddie’s smile turned fond, enough confirmation that this was for real, “No, I’m here for good.”
“Good, I’ll introduce you then.” Eddie followed Buck as he led him back to the small group, “Everyone this is Eddie Diaz, Eddie this is Hen, Bobby and Chimney.”
“I didn’t realise you two knew each other.” Bobby said, analysing the two of them.
Eddie and Buck began to laugh in unison, “Know each other?” Buck said, speaking through the laugh.
“We share a mortgage.” Eddie finished for him.

Summary
Buck... didn't ring out. And between Chim's usual motormouth, and Diaz's patronising verbal pat on the head, he decides to correct a few assumptions over lunch.
Please excuse the bountiful expletives, I'm convinced that forces guys don't even know they're doing it when the topic is deploymentsBookmarked by BroadwayBug

Summary
Margaret and Phillip spent years not seeing their children and then slowly got back into contact with them until this point, where they think they’re in a pretty decent place, actually.
Except then Buck gets injured and, as his hospital room fills with evidence of a life they know absolutely nothing about and they meet and hear about people they’ve never heard of (including a child?!), they realise that perhaps it was all simply too little, too late after all.

Summary
After rehabbing his injuries and putting in a lot of work, Buck is ready to go back to the 118. He wants to go back to work, and be back with his family. But his return takes more work than he thought it would, and people aren't as happy to see him as he was expecting, which makes the return a lot harder to deal with than he thought it would be. As things pile on and his support system shrinks, Buck finds himself wondering if it's all worth it and what he should do.

Summary
After the fight in the grocery store, Buck feels like he's causing too much damage so he drops the lawsuit and leaves LA, joining a hotshot wildland firefighter crew out of Montana. He's gone for six months until he gets a call from Chris that something is wrong with Eddie, causing him to race back home only to find a very confused Eddie instead of a hurt or depressed Eddie. Eddie talks him into coming inside for a beer and after that Buck can't bring himself to leave the Diaz boys behind again. But that doesn't mean he's ready to talk to anyone else yet. So they just don't tell anyone else Buck is back. For over two years. Even when they start dating.
Three years after he left LA and the 118, there's a pileup on the 210 in La Tuna Canyon Park and a wildfire racing towards all the crews scrambling desperately to get everyone out in time, including the 118. Buck's crew is in the right place at the right time, and they don't hesitate to come help.

Summary
After reuniting with the 118 (three years after dropping the lawsuit and leaving and two years after having started a secret relationship with Eddie) Buck is back for his last couple months working as a smokejumper before officially returning to LA. The crew jumps one of their remotest fires yet, in a place where the only help they've got is one another and their wits. And the weather is not on their side.

Summary
Three weeks after Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck gets a call in the middle of the night from a trauma center in El Paso. Eddie was in a serious car accident and has been rushed into surgery for a skull fracture. Buck rushes to Texas, finding that things are even messier than he imagined, and that's before Eddie wakes up and confesses that he's not sure it was actually an accident. That he might have done it on purpose. So Buck does what his parents never did for him: he steps in, all the way, and helps put his little family back together.

Summary
Eddie watched Buck die on top of that ladder, he watched buck fall and hang there like he was suspended in a place between the living and the dead. Once Buck made it to the hospital, Eddie knew he wouldn't wake up and that whatever made Buck "Buck" was gone. Eddie also realized that he was in love with his best friend, obviously too late. Eddie can't manage another loss, being left alone again without his other half.
~~~~~~~~
TLDR: The lightning strike happened, Buck is in his coma and Eddie spirals. It leads to the suicidal thoughts, which Eddie has had in the past, and an attempt.
Please read the tags! I am serious. If you are not in a place to read these things, don't.

Summary
Buck doesn't want to make other people's problems and trauma about him. But he is involved on some level. And it would be nice if just once in a while people dug a little deeper and checked on how he's doing.
Only the more things change, the less that happens. Promises are broken, and it all makes Buck doubt himself and his place. Is he really anything more than a placeholder in people's lives?

Summary
Eddie’s mind wandered to the red folder, tucked high up in the back of his closet. He recalled back to a conversation he had with Buck, almost a year ago at this point:
“It’s an insurance policy; a break glass in case of emergency. A trump card.”
“One I really hope we’ll never have to use.”
“But if we have to, we’ll be really glad we did this.”
When hospital policy doesn't allow Chris, as an unrelated minor, to visit a comatose post-lightning strike Buck in the ICU, Eddie has a solution. Unfortunately, that involves sharing some pretty personal information in a waiting room filled with the 118.

Summary
The 118 get a call to some nearby woodlands where the police are waiting for their assistance. Athena tells them that they need to help with a little boy that had gotten his leg stuck in a beartrap. All seems simple but then she tells them that the boy is a feral child, animalistic and frightened, and was throwing rocks at people who tried to get closer. Buck and Eddie are tasked to get him to safety.
The boy is scared of everything around him, people, sounds, objects, the wind, the smells. Terror is all the boy knew until he found something he wasn’t scared of.
And its name was Evan Buckley. :3Warnings - Heavy descriptions of medical trauma, child abuse, neglect and injury.
Queue found family, Christopher being an amazing big brother and the 118 being the best family in the entire world. :3

Summary
Bobby noticed him first and went up to him. "Can I help you, young man?"
The teenager shuffled forward. "I'm looking for Edmundo, Edmundo Diaz? He works here."
Hearing his name, Eddie's brow furrowed. He stepped closer. At first, he didn't recognize the face. The sharp shape of the jaw, the curve of the mouth… then it clicked.
"Rachel?" He called, a question laced with surprise.
The teenager straightened, "I go by Raphael now."***
Eddie gets an unexpected visitor one day on shift, it’s his little cousin who needs a place to stay after getting kicked out by his parents :3
Just so everything is clear. This happens in an alternate universe where season 8 happened a lot differently. Bobby is alive and well, Eddie and Chris never went to Texas, the whole Kim Marisol thing never happened and Buck lives with Eddie due to the loft disappearing or something. (Shh. Don’t read too much into it.)
Chris is 14.
