    Summary

    “Are you happy?” Buck hears himself ask, the words slipping through without passing his brain-to-mouth filter.

    Eddie hums. “Most of the time.”

    Buck just nods in reply, picking at the label of his beer.

    “Are you happy?” Eddie asks him, voice quiet in the night, and when Buck glances over, his eyes are a little red and glassy.

    Buck lets out a breath and shakes his head. “Not even half of the time.”
    --
    Or, the one where Eddie's getting married, but not to Buck, and Buck is not a selfish man.

    Summary

    “Oh no, we’re not doing this.” Chimney pops a bubble with the gum he’s been chewing as he moves one of his fingers back and forth to point between The-Man-who-isn’t-Buck’s-man-he’s-just-The-Man and Buck. “You didn’t drag me to the gym just so you can ditch me to fuck some guy in the showers."

    Buck lowers his voice, leaning forward as if trying to make the words’s journey shorter between him and Chimney so they can’t escape and reach anyone else’s ears,“I wouldn’t fuck him in the showers.”

    Chimney’s response is wordless in the form of an eyebrow raise.

    “Not anymore, okay?” Buck clarifies, rolling his eyes. “That’s not who I am now."

    (spoiler alert: Buck does fuck the guy in the showers. but that comes after nicknaming him Big Beautiful Brown Eyes, finding out his name is actually Eddie, becoming his best friend, and falling madly in love with him.)

    Summary

    “In an incredible turn of events firefighter Buckley is alive and mostly unharmed. What could have ended in a devastating tragedy finds its happy ending after all,” Taylor moderates, her words shaky with relief as the camera focuses on the scene behind her. The crowd starts clapping and cheering the moment Eddie and Buck emerge from the rubble. “What an absolute relief that firefighter Buckley made it out alive and that we now see-” Taylor turns around, only to come to a stuttering stop at witnessing the spectacle in front of her “-my boyfriend kissing his best friend.”

    Or, Taylor gets a second shot at accompanying the 118 for another segment and notices that her boyfriend is a lot closer to his best friend than she remembers.

    Summary

    The blades of the helicopter hadn’t stopped spinning once they had crashed. The earth was cut up, bits of sheared rock and fresh dirt tossed up around it. The tail took the worst of the hit, crumpling into a mangled heap of metal. The body of the machine was on its side, dented and crushed like a tin can. It was a wonder Ravi had made it out as well as he had. He must’ve been on the side that was pointed towards the sky, still hooked into his seat. Which meant that the side Buck had been sitting on, next to Eddie…

    Before he knew it he was walking. If Ravi had pulled Buck and the pilot out, where were they now? The cleared area this side of the wreckage was empty save for a few stray pieces of metal and broken tree limbs.

    Ravi came alive suddenly, reaching for him. “Wait, don’t, Eddie,” he said, his voice laced with something new, something Eddie felt deeply in his bones.

    “Is he hurt?” Eddie’s words shook with the fear he now felt tenfold.

     

    In which a tragedy on the edge of a firestorm leaves part of the 118 stranded and struggling to survive in the wilderness. Left entirely to their own devices, the survivors fight to come home, alive.
