Summary
Buck coughed back to consciousness, choking on the dust and debris that hung thick in the air. The motion jarred his right side; the side he was laying on, the side he’d landed on, and even as the winded pain forced him to curl in on himself until the coughs subsided, the only thought on his mind was Eddie.

Summary
Breathe — come on, Buck, breathe!
Buck doubles over, clutching at his chest, his lungs burning. Pain explodes across his sternum like he’s just been punched.
Don’t do this to me, please.
Finally, Buck manages to suck in a ragged breath. “I…I think I can hear Eddie,” he gasps, dazed. He glances over at the stairs, expecting to see Eddie appear at the top.
Bobby nods, his hands still on Buck’s shoulders. “You have to go back to him.”
Buck looks up at Bobby. “He isn’t here?”
Bobby’s eyes well with tears. “No, Buck. He isn’t here.”
***
Hovering between life and death after the building collapse, Buck encounters Bobby while Eddie races to save him. Or, an alternate take on the season 8 finale.

Summary
Eddie freezes at the doorway, tray in hand, the voices drifting from inside stopping him cold.
“Oh, your stepdad doesn’t live with you?” Mark asks, gesturing to a framed photo of Buck and Christopher.
There’s a beat of silence—too long, too loaded.Eddie’s heart stutters, thudding hard against his ribs as he waits, breath held. God's really decided to test him today.
Then Christopher answers, casually, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “No… he lives in L.A.”
or Eddie overhears a conversation between Christopher and his friend, then proceeds to spiral about being in love with Buck while also being insanely jealous of 118's new recruit
