    Summary

    Sent to a medical call at an elderly couple's bungalow with reports of a suspected heart attack and the victim having been trapped against the front door, the 118 hits tragedy midway through a twenty four hour shift.

    A roaring sound, rhythmic and constant, a heavy breeze that just touches him.
    Buck turns towards it, magnetized.
    “You’re alright, son,” Bobby tells him, orders him, as if Bobby could simply stop time and death and Buck’s own body in its tracks. “You’re gonna be just fine.
    The blue and red lights of the Ladder Truck, illuminating the street, but still Buck’s eyes threaten failure, blurring until it melts into one.

    Summary

    Buck's teary eyes widen and he lifts his face to look at the man before him, everything happening too fast for his broken mind to catch up, he breathes out a short huff of air mixed with a mewl and the man presses the barrel of the gun to his forehead, pressing hard so Buck's head tilts backwards.

    "You don't know when to die, do you?" He growls between his gritted teeth.

    Buck's eyes close and his breath hitches in his throat, face damp with tears, his voice not even a whisper. "I'm sorry."

    Summary

    “No getting out of it now.” Bobby’s steady voice makes him flinch.

    “We literally haven’t moved.”

    “You could run,” Bobby says with a shrug. “But then you’d have to deal with Athena.” He steps into the RV.

    Turning around, Buck sees Athena standing at the doorway, her hand still in the air. When she catches his eye, something in her expression shifts. He’s seen that expression before. Typically, she uses it on people who are about to flee arrest.

     

    I fucking dare you.

     

    Sighing, Buck gets on the RV.

    After a call that is almost his last, Buck is having a hard time. He’s avoids his family, his friends, and everything in between. When Bobby suggests they go on a road trip, he almost laughs. But what’s worse? He actually says yes.

    Seven seas a-rising...
    .

    The anniversary of the tsunami has come and gone, and someone isn't as willing to move on as Buck is. The last place Buck wanted to be was on the Santa Monica Pier, thinking about the events of last year—

    No, scratch that. The last place he wanted to be was under the Santa Monica Pier. And yet, here he was...

    Summary

    “So, everything will be pretty straight forward. We’ll have opening statements, present evidence, you’ll testify.” Dana waved her hand over her files. “We’ll go over your testimony before you do so that when Mr. Malloy’s attorney questions you, you’ll be prepared to—”

    “Do I have to?” Buck asked, flinching when Dana’s eyes turned sharp. “Do I have to testify?”

    A fine tremor had settled into Buck’s hands, working up his arms into his shoulders, and Bobby couldn’t help but feel like he was watching Buck splinter in front of him.

     

     
    Buck gets attacked on a call and swept up in a whirlwind of events that he never asked for.

    Summary

    “You’re sure Bobby doesn’t want me on the pulley? It’s kind of a tricky angle.”

    Buck rolls his eyes affectionately, letting Eddie fuss for a second. “Stevens has to learn somehow. Besides, you’re supposed to be the medic here.”

    “I know. I just—“ he cuts himself off, biting his lip. Tugs on the ropes once, twice, three times.

    “I know. We’ll be fine.” Buck murmurs, knocking his knuckles against Eddie’s stomach. “Worrier.”

    Summary

    It starts with a headache.

    It starts with a headache. And it ends as he falls to the ground, lock jawed, the world fading away.

    . . .

    Look.

    Buck knows as well as anyone the dangers of repeated concussions. He was a college football player; he’s followed the development of the concussion stories as they’ve come out. And yeah, between his childhood recklessness (which has bled into adult recklessness), a few workplace incidents including a notable day with a hoarder house and a bowling ball, and his general affinity for being caught in unfortunate positions, he figures he’s had his fair share of concussions. But they’ve never really been in such close succession that he’s worried about them.

    Not really.

    Summary

    “Are you doing alright?” Eddie asks him with a slight frown and Buck swallows, going back to tying his shoes so he doesn’t have to look at Eddie.

    “Of course,” he says simply. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

    “I don’t know,” Eddie replies and Buck can feel his eyes on him. “You’ve been quiet lately.”

    Buck freezes in his movements for a fraction of a second. He thought that apart from the whole dinner at Bobby’s fiasco he’s been doing a pretty good job at acting like his normal self in front of everyone.

    And how has Eddie of all people noticed that something is up with him? It’s not like he pays him any attention anymore.

    "Dad? I think Buck isn't okay."

    "Why would you say that, mijo?"

    "I use 'find my friends' to keep an eye on him sometimes. Since he doesn't come over anymore. You know the bridge we drive over to get to school? Buck's been there for two hours. The weather's really bad. He shouldn't be out there."

    Summary

    Pilot Thomas "Tommy" Kinard hasn't been a ranch hand for seven years. However, a chance meeting with his old coworkers and some new cowboys, especially a certain Evan "Buck" Buckley, seems to be changing his life for the better.

    EXCERPT:

    “Evan!”

    Tommy.

    Turned his gaze back to the dirty blonde. And Tommy would say the man was a little sheepish, but it seemed as if something else overcame him once Tommy was looking straight at him again.

    Excitement?

    Nervousness?

    Awe?

    No.

    Couldn’t be any of those. Tommy wasn’t the kind of guy who inspired that.

    “Evan Buckley,” breathed Evan.

    And.

    And Tommy forgot that he should be shaking his hand too, right? Not that – not that Evan was offering.

    But.

    Tommy took the initiative, extending his own.

    “Wow. Uh. Big hands,” said Evan, maybe babbled, as he shook Tommy’s hand and looked so expectantly at Tommy.

    Tommy couldn’t say no to that face. He couldn’t say nothing.

    “You have a good handshake too, Evan,” offered Tommy, a little distracted by Evan’s adorable smile.

    The little laugh he was making.

    Wait.

    Were they still shaking hands?

    Was that weird?

    Summary

    “Chest pain is not a joke, Evan,” Tommy remarks, anger clear in his voice, though Evan knows well enough that it’s from panic more than he’s actually mad at him.

    “Didn’t say it was, Tom,” he rasps as his fiancé slides his jeans up his calves and then reaches for Evan's forearms to help him stand so that he can pull his pants back on.

    Or, three years after being struck by lightning, Evan Buckley faces another side effect: an aortic aneurysm.
