Summary
She's been lying for months, telling Tim she's fine while hiding bruises under long sleeves and flinching every time he gets too close. He sees it all, asks every day, and waits.
Then his phone rings at 1:03 AM, and the sound of her voice on the other end makes him realize almost was never going to be enough.- Language:

Summary
She was supposed to file a report, not bring home a four-year-old. But when a scared little girl needs somewhere safe to land, Lucy Chen does what she’s always done—leads with her heart. With Sergeant Tim Bradford quietly stepping in to help, the two of them fall into a rhythm neither expected—grocery runs, bubble baths, pancakes, and paperwork. But beneath the surface, both of them are facing something deeper: Lucy’s fear of failing a child who finally feels safe, and Tim’s growing awareness of just how much he cares about the woman who always leads with her heart.
AU with a four-year-old Tamara Collins. Set around season 4/5.

Summary
After finishing at the Fire Academy, Buck’s stopped on his way out by Captain Bobby Nash from the 118 — the most talked-about station in LA. Nash offers him a spot as their new probie, impressed by his background as a dispatcher and his record-breaking run through training.
But Buck turns him down. He knows what went down under the last captain, Gerard, and he’s not about to walk into a place still recovering from that kind of mess. He tells Nash the team needs time, trust, and probably therapy before anyone new shows up. When Nash flinches at the word “therapy,” Buck figures he made the right call.
