Summary
Maddie is fourteen when her brother dies, and two days later her parents pack their lives up into the car and tell her it’s time to go. Only, there’s something injured sitting in the back seat and nobody will tell her what it is.
Buck knows that he’s missing some years from his childhood and that the accident that took them from him is the same one that left him with patchwork scars all over his body. He just doesn’t realize that those years aren’t missing like a lost thing, but like a thing that was never there to begin with.
They’re both dealing with it.

Summary
It’s not real. It’s not real. It can’t be.
He’s hallucinating. A concussion. Hell, maybe this is some sort of purgatory.
“Fuck,” he rasps, the word torn from him as a cough shakes his body. Copper floods his tongue. He blinks, disoriented, and Bobby’s still there, solid, impossibly so, haloed in dust.
“You’re not real,” Buck croaks.
“Maybe,” Bobby says with a small shrug, the ghost of a smile tugging at his lips. “Or maybe death sent me as a kindness.”
“You’re not real,” Buck insists again, the words cracking apart.
“I’m real enough,” Bobby murmurs. “Now breathe.”
Buck tries. It hurts, sharp, jagged, but the air finds its way into his lungs. He coughs, choking on dust and tears as the collapsing world bleeds back into sound. When he opens his eyes again, Bobby’s still there, steady, unshakable, holding the weight of Buck’s grief in his gaze. He nods downward.
“Put pressure on that before you bleed out, dumbass.”
or
When Buck gets trapped during an earthquake, he’s forced to confront the one thing he’s been running from — grief.

Summary
About a week after starting back at the 118, and about three weeks before he was supposed to start getting a steady check again, Buck quietly moved out of his loft—
—and into his jeep.

Summary
He’s big, is the first thing Eddie notices about him. Not just his body - though his shoulders are broad and his biceps are thick - but his presence, too. He’s so commanding that he’s impossible to miss; he draws all of Eddie’s attention even as he sits silent and motionless, like he’s trying to disappear. He has a halo of curls on his head and a shock of pink above his left eye.
Angel, Eddie thinks, and something twists uncomfortably inside his chest.
Or: Eddie is a priest, and Buck is a firefighter, and once their worlds collide nothing will ever be the same again.

Summary
It’s not a new thing, probably. If Buck looked back through the last seven years he’s sure he could find a hundred moments where he was, well, less than normal about his best friend. But. But Buck can’t do that. He isn’t prepared to face the possibility that the way he feels is different than he’d always thought. Because…because if it’s different, then it means they are different. BuckandEddie. And he’s not sure if he could bear that.
“You could try - I don’t know - talking to him about it?”
Buck scoffs. “Realistic suggestions only, please, Maddie.”
