Summary
The lawsuit is done, Buck is back at work, it'll take time, but everything will return to normal eventually, right? The firehouse crew is hurt, and Buck is struggling. He starts to spiral, going back to his old habits, with no one there to see or catch him. How long can he last on the downward trajectory? Or will someone notice before it's too late?
i.e Buck struggles with his mental health and relationships following a lawsuit against his fire department.
I'm bad at summaries. Just your typical post-lawsuit fic.

Summary
There had always been a thread connecting Buck and Eddie together.
From the moment they met, it was just BuckandEddie. No space between them. Through every disaster, every close call, every time the world tilted sideways—they felt it. Just an invisible string keeping the two tethered as one.
Neither of them ever expected that line to break.
And they certainly never thought it breaking would end with Buck getting swallowed whole by hundreds of pounds of rubble.
Or a rewrite of 8x18 where the zip line breaks and Buck gets trapped beneath the rubble.

Summary
And, here, looking at his best friend, he can see that something’s broken inside him, too. And, maybe it’s the therapy he’s had over the years, his sessions with Frank, but Eddie wants to talk to Buck. He wants Buck to talk to him. Buck, who just looks so fucking sad, still in his dress blues, one hand drinking the beer, the other coming up to loosen his tie.
This morning, Eddie had noticed Buck tying, untying, retying the tie with breaths of frustration, fingers shaking. “Eddie,” he’d said lowly from across the room, and Eddie wouldn’t have even heard him if he hadn’t been watching. “I, uh, can never – I can never get this right.”
*
In the aftermath of Bobby’s death, Buck and Eddie need to learn to embrace change, settle into a new normal - a life without Bobby, and life navigating feelings for each other. A vision of what season 9 could be.
