Summary
Buck was never allowed back to the 118 post-lawsuit. 3 months later, Eddie and Ravi find him at a party in the hills — high, hollowed out, and barely holding on.
What follows isn't a rescue. It's a slow, unglamourous fight to give a man his family back, one hard conversation at a time — a best friend choosing honesty when secrecy would be easier, a probie offering a safe harbor and simplicity, a boy who just wants to know why his person disappeared, and a captain who has to earn back what his silence cost.
Nothing gets fixed clean. But it gets carried together.

Summary
“That’s it,” Eddie said sternly, turning the lid on the tube and pulling it off. He squeezed the tube from the bottom, dotting a pea sized amount on his finger. “Open up.”
Buck’s eyes widened. “Excuse me?”
“Open. Up.” Eddie repeated, stressing each word.
OR; Buck has a toothache. Eddie takes care of it, and then Eddie gets taken care of - in more ways than one.

Summary
The bunk creaks as Eddie stands up and takes a step towards him with that unreadable look on his face. It makes Buck's insides squirm, and his mouth continues to run away from him because now that he's started talking, he can't seem to stop.
"And now everything's weird. I can't walk into work without being shunned like I'm some sort of criminal, just for simply wanting what I should have gotten in the first place. It's—it's all wrong, and it just makes me want to, I don't even know—"
"Punch someone?"
It's the first thing Eddie has said to him all day that sounds like a concession. An olive branch, maybe, or perhaps Buck is coming to realise just how right Eddie is.
He huffs. "Yeah, a little."
Or
Following an argument with Eddie on Halloween night, Buck doesn't stop at the gas station on his way home.
…And instead finds himself in an underground fighting ring.

Summary
“What the hell are you doing here?” Eddie asks. It sounds like an accusation.
“I, uh— I’m sorry,” Buck stammers, scratching the back of his head sheepishly, his eyes inconspicuously darting down to Eddie’s bloodied hands. “Eddie... What happened?”
Eddie’s brows twitch. The anger behind his eyes burns hot and heavy. “No, Buck. We’re not doing this. This is literally the worst time for—” He cuts himself off, aggressively pinching the bridge of his nose. “You don’t get to— to insert yourself like this. Not anymore.”
Buck’s heart sinks like a stone in his chest.
“You chose this, remember?” Eddie spits, the words dripping with bitter finality.
As soon as Eddie says that, Buck’s mouth clicks shut. Because he doesn’t remember choosing any of this. Not the icy silences, nor the irritated glances, nor this suffocating loneliness. All he had wished for was to return to his family, not for them to abandon him.
OR: The tsunami is long over. Buck keeps drowning anyway.

Summary
Evan Buckley has always been very good at keeping things in separate boxes. In one, Los Angeles and the 118 know him as Buck. In another, he's Boomerang, a highly-trained Navy SEAL. The two have never once touched.
For fifteen years, "I love you" has been quietly replaced with the promise to always come back. A habit older than his career as a firefighter and built by someone who loved him when he was young. Most people who have heard it don't pay it any attention.
A series about found family, the people who show up unannounced to love unconditionally, and what happens when a man who built his whole life out of walls decides to knock them down.

Summary
Eddie recaps this in his head a couple more times and he’s — jealous. Fuck, he’s jealous. That’s the word for it, the heat coiling deep in his gut, his whole body wound like a spring about to snap.
Jealousy.
Which is a bizarre emotion to feel about your best friend sleeping with someone. Jealousy implies ownership, implies wanting, implies — implies that 1) Eddie is not straight, and 2) he is possibly in love with his best friend and maybe possibly wants to suck said best friend’s dick about it.
Alright — okay. Eddie feels like he needs to sit with that for a second, give it the space it deserves.
Eddie wants to suck a dick attached to a person who is a man.
Not just any dick, either. Buck’s dick. His best friend.
Huh.
He expected that to feel weirder. He expected sirens, maybe, or a crisis, or at minimum a dramatic internal monologue about his Catholic upbringing and the sanctity of heterosexuality.
Instead, there’s nothing. The sirens are silent, the crisis doesn’t come, and Eddie wants to suck his best friend’s cock. Non-platonically.
Or,
Eddie moves back to LA, finds out Buck slept with Tommy, and reacts accordingly.- Language:

Summary
Post Lawsuit
---------------------
Buck is back to work, but is on the outs.
He goes out, has a one night stand.
What could go wrong?Or,
"Lucas, seriously, calm down. It's just a broken condom. I can get tested for... you know, the standard stuff. It's not the end of the world. Just take a deep breath."
Lucas let out a sound that was half sob, half hysterical laugh. He backed up until his spine hit the bedroom wall, sliding down slightly as if his legs could no longer support his weight. He looked at Buck like he was looking at a dead man.
"Evan," Lucas said, his voice dropping to a devastated, trembling whisper. "I should have told you. I swear to god, I should have told you before we even left the bar, but I didn't think... I've never had a condom break on me. Never. I am so careful. I am so, so careful."
"Told me what?" Buck asked. His voice didn't sound like his own.
Lucas closed his eyes, a tear escaping and tracking down his pale cheek. He swallowed hard, and then he looked Buck dead in the eye.
"I'm HIV positive."

Summary
Eddie especially likes to think he knows Buck the best.
They’re best friends, afterall. Even in the space of just a few months Eddie has never felt as seen as he is by the man. Buck just gets Eddie. He makes Eddie laugh, he cares about Christopher, goes out of his way to make sure Eddie is okay when their shift is bad. They spend so much time together on and off work, nestling into comfortable routines and habits that Eddie isn’t sure how he functioned without it.
So, it comes as a big shock when Eddie learns something new.
“Who drew this?” He points to a piece of paper pinned to the fridge, a flower drawn in meticulous detail Eddie’s pretty sure he can almost see the way water travels up the shoot of its roots.
“Buck,” Hen replies without looking up from her and Chimney’s card game.

Summary
Running to the frontlines from a childhood he never had. Taking a bat to the wall with his son in the next room. Having an affair with the spitting image of his dead wife.
Eddie knows he’s never been good at grieving, knows he’s never been good at losing what little he allows for himself in the first place. This is why he also knows his coping mechanisms can’t possibly get any worse.
Buck, as he so often does, makes him reevaluate his assumptions.

Summary
“You know, a week ago everyone was all, there’s no deep dark family secret! Our parents are a little distant and that’s all you have to worry about!” He slumped backwards. “Maddie told me three days ago. About Daniel. She told me not to tell Buck,” he said, cutting a guilty glance at Eddie.
“So you didn’t?” asked Eddie, more than a hint of accusation in his voice.
“I don’t know!” cried Chim. “Maddie is the mother of my child. I don’t know the rules for this kind of stuff! I’ve never been in the middle of an actual soap opera before!”

“I need someone like you—someone who can keep up with him, and have his back, and maybe eventually even rein him in, should that be a thing that is humanly possible to do,” said Bobby, smiling warmly over the remaining half of his sandwich.
“Oh, I see,” said Eddie. And he did now. That’s what Bobby’s whole hard sell was about—it wasn’t personal, it was about Eddie being the top of this class. “I know the type. You see guys a lot like that in the military.”
“Oh, no,” said Bobby, “I didn’t mean to—well, what I mean is, I don’t think you have seen a lot of guys like Buck, to be honest. I don’t think there are a lot of people like him.”

Hen & Chim discussing the new probie; Buck's forgotten shield ceremony; Eddie's first shift with the 118.

Summary
Evan Buckley can only watch as Eddie Diaz, his best friend and the man he secretly loves, is shot in the street by a sniper's bullet. But Buck can save Eddie, pulling him to safety under a firetruck and keeping him alive till he gets to hospital. While Eddie lies unconscious in his hospital bed, Buck steps up to look after Christopher, to keep the rest of his team safe.
But Buck is struggling. Traumatised by the shooting, he finds it difficult to move forward. Buck was so close to Eddie when he was shot that he was covered in blood. On his face, on his clothes, in his hair. In his mouth. Now, everything he tries to eat or drink tastes of blood.
Eddie's blood.
How long can Buck keep going when he's struggling to eat and drink? How can he be the support Chris needs if he can't function?
And how long can he go on pretending he doesn't have feelings for his best friend, when he can't imagine being able to cope without him.
OR
Eddie gets shot and Buck struggles in the aftermath, his trauma stopping him eating or drinking till he's well past crisis point. And what will Eddie say when he returns to consciousness?
