Summary
Eddie Diaz starts his first shift at the 118. A major earthquake strikes the city a few weeks later, and suddenly not just one but two of Buck's siblings are trying to reconnect with him. Bobby's trying hard to get some alone time with his girlfriend, but it's a little hard with a roommate (who he insists is not actually his son). Chimney keeps meeting a beautiful woman near his apartment. Hen and Karen are just trying to get five minutes of peace for their family.
Or, Part 2 (season 2) of the canon rewrite where Buck ended up in foster care, Daniel lived, and everything is just a little bit different.

Summary
The new probie is a mystery wrapped up in a contradiction wrapped in another mystery. Friendly and overbearing yet completely reserved. Trying to figure him out is like getting stuck in a revolving door that never slows down enough to let you get through the opening. And so far, he’s garnered them a net zero on profits two weeks in. The money box and accompanying notebook sat untouched in Hen’s locker.
In which Buck comes to the 118 with a more complicated history, one he is determined to hide. They still somehow become a family.

Summary
The wind from a cracked window nearby chooses that time to make an appearance, swirling Bella’s loose hair around her face. At the same moment, all of the striking people snap their heads around to stare at her directly. Shrinking back, she looks up at them as their postures simultaneously stiffen. After several long heartbeats of the unexpected stare-down, they break their eyes away to move on towards a table in the back corner.
Feeling lightheaded, Bella jumps as a tray slams down across from her. A girl she sat next to in one of her previous classes leans across the table to her, practically vibrating in excitement.
“Oh. My. Gosh.” She nearly shrieks, reaching forward to grab Bella’s arm. “I cannot believe that you sat here, it’s like practically off limits.”
Or: Bella befriends vampires, turns into a wolf, unites mortal enemies, and somehow finds love along the way.
