Summary
When Margaret and Phillip Buckley rush to Los Angeles after their son Evan is injured, they expect to find the same isolated, reckless boy they’d spent years keeping at arm’s length.
Instead, they’re confronted with the vibrant life he’s built without them: a firehouse captain who knows his coffee order by heart, a police sergeant who bakes his favorite muffins, a man and his son who call Buck family, and a sister who’s found love in a world they never bothered to ask about.
As the 118 crew—and the life Buck forged from blood, saltwater, and ash—fill his hospital room with proof of belonging, his parents realize their absence left scars deeper than any injury.
A post-6x10 fic about the family Buck chose, the ghosts of the one he didn’t, and the quiet tragedy of being strangers to the person you were supposed to love first.
