    Summary

    Bobby opens the door and his jaw hits the floor as he comes face to face with Evan. Evan, his son, who was supposed to be safely tucked away in Hershey with his lovely sister and parents, the Buckleys. Evan, who looks like he hasn’t slept in days and is bearing the weight of the world on his small shoulders.

    “So you know who I am,” the kid starts, his words drenched in bitterness. It breaks Bobby’s heart. This is his son. His son, who is glaring at him like he is the scum of the earth.

    “Evan –” he starts, but the kid cuts him off.

    “Look, I know you gave me up and didn’t want me, but you are my father. I hope you are not too much of an asshole to turn me away now. Please, may I come in? I will be out of your hair soon, I promise.”

    Something in Bobby breaks at those words.

    Another Buck-is-Bobby’s-biological-son AU because I miss Bobby.

    Summary

    The thing was, the 118 was full of gossips.

    Eddie had been at the station less than a week before Hen and Chim wrangled details about his “hot young thing” from him (“Buck is only 4 years younger than me, he is not a ‘hot young thing’!” Eddie complained.)

    And Bobby was open about his worries for his son’s lack of direction and the secrets he appears to be keeping (“I just wish I could help Evan find the thing that gives him purpose,” Bobby lamented.)

    It just made it all the more ridiculous (and horrifying) when Eddie realizes he’s been dating his Captain’s son this whole time (“Defiling his baby,” Chimney cackled, because he clearly wanted Eddie murdered.)
    --
    Or, the AU where miscommunication abounds as Eddie seeks advice about his new relationship, Bobby despairs over his adopted son's career prospects and his refusal to talk about it, and Evan Buckley-Nash juggles training at the fire academy, building a family with his new boyfriend, and trying to work out how to tell his overprotective dad that he's already chosen the life he wants, actually.

    It takes a goddamn tsunami, of all things, to get the story straight.

    Summary

    “I’ll do whatever you want, just, please.” Buck sobs out the last word, eyes burning with unshed tears.

    “A vow.” The man leans uncomfortably close to Buck. The knife brushes against his neck, lightly scratching across the top layer of Buck’s skin. The man’s cold blue eyes hold Buck’s full attention. “That’s what I require. Sell me your allegiance.”

    Buck stares back at the killer, unable to fully process what is being asked of him. He sees a flash of anger dance in the stranger’s gaze. He's impatient. Unpredictable. Fear pours into Buck's chest as he realizes he might not get a second chance at this. He has to make this count. “I vow to give you complete control over the remainder of my life. My body is yours to destroy—so long as you let my sister live and return safely to her family.”

    __

    Or, After Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck goes to seek comfort from his sister and walks in on her kidnapping. In order to save Maddie's life, Buck offers up his instead. Unintentionally agreeing to something worse than death.

    Summary

    Bobby closes out the shift as fast as he can. Between Narcissus guy, the park landscaper, and the retirement community meth lab he’s got plenty of paperwork to do. So he updates FireStat, briefs the B-shift captain, and drives home still in uniform; all with Buck’s pre-dinner speech playing on a loop in his head.

    "I’m gonna put in for a transfer…Ravi is ready to fill the spot...E-everything feels broken now, and it’s my fault. I’m the reason he’s gone."

    Bobby had been so focused on Harry and Athena, that he hadn’t seen what was happening in his other house.

    He hadn’t seen Buck.

    Buck quietly distancing himself, hyper focusing on Ravi’s training, and subtly spiraling down a rabbit hole of guilt and self-recrimination.

    And Bobby didn’t notice.

    He searches his memory for the last time he and Buck did something together, just the two of them. It takes a disconcertingly long time, and Bobby comes up empty. This kid who means the world to him, this kid who crashed into his life and taught him not only how to love again but how to live again; and he can’t remember.
