Summary
The day Buck receives the settlement offer, he is ready to reject it to win back his job and his family at Station 118. But when Christopher is rushed to the hospital needing a critical, very expensive spinal surgery on the other side of the country that insurance won't cover, Buck breaks his legal no-contact order and races to Eddie's side.
To save Christopher's mobility, Buck makes the ultimate sacrifice: he accepts the payout. He willingly plays the villain, letting Bobby, Maddie, and the crew believe he chose greed over loyalty, and exiles himself to Florida to help Christopher heal in secret. Back in LA, Eddie must silently endure a resentful firehouse, anchored by a devastating truth: "If the choice is between you and Christopher, you will lose every time."

Summary
Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.~~
or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

Summary
You're the guy who showed up," Eddie said firmly. "The guy who said yes when he needed someone. That's what matters, Buck. The rest? We'll figure it out. All of us."
From the living room came the sound of Chris's voice, patient and warm, explaining something about pigeons. Theo's small laugh—tentative, fragile, but real—drifted back to them.
"Chris is so good with him," Buck said.
"Chris learned from the best." Eddie's hand found Buck's shoulder, squeezing. "You've been showing him how to be patient and kind and present for eight years. Now he gets to pay it forward."
Buck nodded, not trusting his voice. Eddie's hand was still on his shoulder, warm and steady, and Buck let himself lean into that certainty. Into the promise of *we* instead of *I*.
Or Buck fosters Theo and he and Eddie basically co parent together and discover how in love they are.
Mostly canon except Bobby never died as it's my story so I can make that happenBookmarked by Gevon22
