Summary
After surviving the tsunami, Buck finds himself drowning in an entirely different way. It isn't just the trauma. Following his desperate lawsuit to get his job back, the 118 has completely shut him out, leaving him to freeze in the chill of total isolation. Now, he is entirely alone. The silence left behind is deafening.
Eddie Diaz is running on empty. First, he had to watch Shannon die. Then, a literal tsunami tore through Los Angeles, leaving Christopher traumatized and trapped in a cycle of endless nightmares. Through all of it, Eddie thought he had one anchor: Buck. The one person he trusted implicitly. The one person Christopher needed. Instead, Buck filed a lawsuit, shattering that trust and walking away when they needed him most. Now, Eddie is drowning in a blinding, volatile anger—and he has absolutely nowhere to put it.
OR: Buck and Eddie are both drowning, each in their own way. As one suffocates in total silence and the other burns with unresolved fury, the life support they used to provide each other is completely gone. Yet neither realises that the only hand capable of pulling them to the surface is the very one they are pushing away.

Summary
Buck didn’t expect a warm welcome when he returned to the 118 after the lawsuit, but he also didn't think his teammates’ anger would last forever. When months go by and Buck is still all but invisible to the team, he decides that everyone would be less miserable if he worked anywhere else.
But leaving the 118 behind is no easy feat, and Buck isn’t sure if he can fully let go of the people he loves…especially his partner and his favorite kid. While Buck tries to figure out how to navigate his new life and care for his family from a distance, Eddie is forced to confront the Buck-shaped hole in his life and the realization that this time, it might be up to him to fix things, especially if there's any hope of getting Buck back where he belongs.- Language:

Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

Summary
“Buck, I don’t want to upset you,” he said. “But can you feel this?” Eddie’s eyes gestured down at his arm. Buck followed along the bandages, expecting to see some sort of spot of red or maybe an odd-angled turn. Instead his heart rose and fell too fast as he realized that since they’d been talking, Eddie hadn’t just had his hand on his shoulder. His other was delicately wrapped in Buck’s exposed fingers, starkly white even against the bedding. Buck tried to move them, wanting so badly, even with all this and even as much as it could give him away, to curl back.
They didn’t move.
……
After a spiral, Buck attempts the unthinkable. Eddie helps him recover, but his lasting injuries present new challenges that jeopardize his career. Now he has to get his mental health in order, face potentially leaving the firehouse, and all while being completely and totally in love with his best friend.Series
