Summary
The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.
Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)
And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)
It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
--
Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.
It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.Series

Summary
“Yeah,” Eddie says, and the darkness behind his eyelids takes on a white edge. “Be good. Nice to be married,” he yanks on Buck’s t-shirt, “best friend.”
Finally, Buck takes a breath that sounds off somehow, but he laughs too, and that sounds normal, Eddie thinks. A normal laugh.
“Sure, Eds,” he says, and there’s his hand in Eddie’s hair again, a puff of breath on the crown of Eddie’s head like Buck leaned in to press a kiss there and then stopped, but why would he stop—“I’ll marry you if you remind me tomorrow.”
or the one in which joking about being married to your best friend is all fun and games, right up until you realize that you're not laughing.

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
Ravi looks faintly murderous. He’s also drunk, so he looks like a very pissed baby duck. Buck wisely doesn’t say that to him.
“I did not sit through a drunk forty minute Introduction to Evan Buckley: Everything You Need to Know in your absence for you to tell me he doesn’t like tequila,” Ravi scowls at Eddie. “Literally every time he’s dragged me out to drink we’ve had tequila! Because he loves tequila and hates the way beer tastes!”
“Ravi,” Buck says neutrally, but he’s trying to blow him up with his mind.
Ravi glares at him, and then understanding dawns upon his face. “Which I was not supposed to tell you about,” he blushes scarlet. “Point fifty-four. Right.”
— eddie finds out buck hates beer. buck suffers.
or,
ravi lets slip that buck's hated beer for eight years, and eddie handles it just as well as you'd expect.Bookmarked by Effugium

Summary
Look, Ravi’s heard everything there is to hear, okay? A shift is… something. When he first joined the 118, it was told to him like a joke, like a curse. "Oh, be careful if you get assigned A shift! You’ll get rebar through the head, or trapped down a well! Haha!"
Well. It wasn’t really a joke to Ravi, not really. Not now. Not when he got close to the team, when they went from strangers to colleagues to just… more. When it became looking at baby pictures and talking about college funds and asking about how his parents are doing and if they’re still planning to come visit for his birthday and –
Yeah. Ravi's glad he got mixed up in this weird little group.
But the curse, well. The others weren’t exactly wrong about that part. And maybe Ravi was a little naïve to think it wouldn’t catch up to him eventually, sure. But –
“Ravi!” Bobby yelled, as Ravi gets punched in the face.
***
Ravi gains a concussion, a bunch of blankets, and a reminder about his place in the 118.

Summary
“I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.
Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”
“Buck, I—”
“She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”
-----
A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

Summary
“Diaz, I’m begging you, tell me you understand,” Lyle says, entirely not above begging at this point.
Diaz doesn’t say a word, and Lyle groans.
He’s actually kind of desperate, because he absolutely cannot risk having to listen to Buckley and Diaz go on about how much they love each other ever again.
“You already know you’re in love with Buckley. I’m telling you Buckley is in love with you. You’re going to…” Lyle trails off, gesturing for Diaz to finish the sentence.
“I’m going to propose to Buck,” Diaz says without hesitation this time.
And that’s not—
That’s not exactly what Lyle was going for?
*
(Paralytic Narcolepsy Guy is forced to listen to Buckley and Diaz talk to and about each other in his unconscious presence over the years. He insists he fucking hates them. But then he also accidentally helps them get engaged.)

Summary
The AU where Bobby adopted Evan when he was six years old, and then twenty years later Eddie joins the 118 and starts dating Buck... and no one initially realises that Evan and Buck are, in fact, the same person. Part 1 is the story of the identity shenanigans and the reveal.
Part 3 is a collection of missing scenes from the original story, while Parts 4 ('how it could have gone') and 5 ('another way it could have gone') are outtakes and depict two different scenarios where the reveal of Buck and Evan being the same person go a different way.
Part 2 'oh captain my captain' is a prequel and shows the 118 meeting Bobby and then later on Evan.
Part 6 'these are the days we've been waiting for' is the story of Buck's first day at the 118.
Part 7 'may you live in interesting times' is a sequel to that takes place about a year or so later, and Part 8 'I once was lost (but now I'm found)' directly follows on and is a full-length sequel and prequel to the main story.
This series as it is now is standalone and can be considered complete. The only reason I haven't marked it as such is because I do expect to be adding additional installments at some point in the future. Happy reading!

Summary
Violet Sorrengail is DONE. She's done being the dutiful youngest daughter of Senator Lilith Sorrengail. She's done trying to be the perfect girlfriend. She's done living up to everyone else's expectations. In need of a fresh start, she packs her bags - and her secrets - and moves to Brooklyn with her estranged brother, Brennan, to start over.
Things are off to a great start when she has a hot one-night stand - until she realizes the handsome stranger is none other than one of her brother's best friends, Xaden Riorson.
Things are complicated enough - they do not want Brennan to find out - but when Brennan asks Xaden to protect his sister, things get infinitely more complex. Everyone has secrets. And no secret stays buried forever.
Even ones that could bring down the government.

Summary
"Derek Hale was a goddamned asshole!
It had started with a sneeze. A sneeze that should have sent a half a dozen supernatural creatures on high alert while the human just said ‘Bless you’, but to Stiles’ amazement, it was the lone human that took notice when Derek Hale sneezed into his elbow."
Derek is sick and Stiles is the only one that can take care of him. What Stiles didn't realize was how nursing the grumpy wolf back to health would stir up old feelings he long forgot about. Derek needed him and he would be there for him...whether the Sourwolf wanted him there or not. And if Derek was insisting on being a perpetual asshole, then Stiles would be the happiest, most obnoxious roommate on the planet. After all, that's how its been all along, right?
