Summary
They thought they knew Buck.
The funny one. The reckless one. The golden retriever in turnout gear who ran into fires and fought with his heart on his sleeve.
Then one phone call changed everything.
Five moments when the 118 family uncover pieces of Buck’s past—his scars, his secrets, and the soldier buried beneath the surface—and the one time they watch him step back into that world, fully and without apology.
Call sign: Smoke.
Rank: Lieutenant Commander.
And no matter what the Navy or the battlefield tried to take from him, he’s still the man they love.
He’s not one or the other.
He’s always been both.

Summary
Whumptober Day 8 : Non-Fatal Drowning
Fear moves faster than thought and Eddie reaches for the cruelest weapon he has.
"I don't love you, Buck! I don't want whatever this is that you keep trying to turn us into. If that's why you've stayed all these years, maybe you shouldn't have."
Buck doesn't move. His eyes remain fixed on him, and Eddie watches the hope in them go out with a hopelessness that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
"Okay," he says after a long moment. "Then get out."
Or:
Eddie lies about loving Buck and nearly loses the chance to tell him the truth when he can’t find a pulse, and every apology has to wait until he’s counted to thirty.
