    Summary

    Before Eddie can think of any more excuses, Buck bursts back through the surface of the water with Eddie’s body in his arms.

    Eddie looks down at himself, still kneeling on the dock, and then at what is unmistakably also him in the water. Buck sucks in a great gasp of air, but the Eddie in the water doesn’t. His head slumps limp onto Buck’s shoulder, and the puzzle pieces of the last few minutes suddenly fall into place.

    Finding himself back on the dock with no memory of how he got there. Buck unable to see or hear him. Eddie’s hand passing right through him.

    Oh. He didn’t make it out of the water. He drowned.

    ***

    After an injury on a call, Eddie finds himself something he never expected to be...

    A ghost.

    Summary

    There's an insistent tapping on Buck's face, and Buck's eyes drift open back up towards-

    "Eddie," he says, maybe slurring through his name. It doesn't feel right, as if the words are buffering somewhere between his brain and mouth. 

    "Eyes on me," Eddie says, except it splits somewhere down the middle. 

    He has a determined look on his face, the one he wears when he's trying to make sense of a bad call, mouth set and ticked down at the corner. Buck knows that look as surely as he knows how to breathe, the same way his heart knows how to beat. Eddie is gravity, the pull at the center of Buck's world, and even now, when Buck can't find his footing, he can't help but be drawn toward him. 

    Behind Eddie's eyes, Buck sees fear. 

    -

    On the way to a routine call, the 118 engine is involved in a major lateral impact collision. It's confronting for Buck and Eddie, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    They’re on that fucking hill for hours, and the rain doesn’t get heavier but it also doesn’t let up at all. It’s honestly pretty fucking miserable, just getting increasingly sodden, and there’s a fear that anyone trapped under debris could drown if they’re really fucking unlucky. They’re trying their best, but a disaster like this? Even under the best conditions, you can't save everyone. These are not the best conditions. 

     

    ---

    Or, a S8a au where aftershocks to an earthquake take Eddie, and Buck loses it just a little.
