    Summary

    The first thing a soldier learns in a war is that silence is never silent. It’s a presence. A physical weight in the air, thick with the ghosts of things that just fell quiet. The silence in the ICU of Landstuhl Regional Medical Center was the loudest fucking thing Edmundo Diaz had ever heard.

    Or:
    Buck and Eddie navigate the civilian life after being honorably discharged.

    Summary

    Bobby died, and the world stopped making noise. Everyone talks about how the world stops making sense when someone is taken from you, but no one ever says just how quiet it gets. As if the entire planet was in mourning. Maybe it should be.

    Or; on Buck, Bobby, silence, and death.

    Summary

    It starts with Buck trying to cope.
    It ends with hugs, tears, revelations and a nap.

    Or:
    "Buck hasn't been sleeping.
    He tried. He really did. But every time he lays down, he just ends up staring blankly at one of the walls, not noticing time pass, until the alarm goes off and he has to get ready.
    It's fine, really. It's not like he's not getting any sleep at all, it's just less. A few hours here and there, mostly naps."

    Or:
    Buck ignores four stages of grief and tries to jump straight into acceptance. Too bad the thing he's accepting hasn't actually happened. Too bad he trips and lands ass first in denial about that part.

    Summary

    'You’re gonna be okay, Buck.'

    He’d be angry if he wasn’t devastated. How could Bobby know that? How could he possibly think he would be right? None of them are okay. Buck more so than most. How could Bobby think that Buck would be able to survive this?
