    Summary

    "Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”

    Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”

    Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”

    “No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”

    Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”

    ——

    Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.

    Summary

    “Hey, Eddie?” Buck’s voice calls cautiously through the phone. It’s too high. Something’s off.

    Eddie’s pulse spikes. “What’s wrong?”

    “Um. I’m now in a second situation.”

    Eddie pulls up short. “I’m calling Cal Fire.”

    “No, no, no!” Buck pleads. “Not that kind of situation!”

    -OR-

    Buck is injured on a hike and asks Eddie to pick him up. Oh, but Eddie is moving to El Paso soon, so the whole situation is actually about that.

    Summary

    Rooster hears the news before the rest of the detachment; he gets to see it play out in real time across Maverick's face, in the wake of the latest in a long line of screaming matches.

    But if he'd known just a few minutes sooner—

    Well.

    Bradley knows better than to ask for do-overs, at this point. He wakes up the morning of Iceman's funeral and does his best to pack away the grief and regret, because he doesn’t have any right to it.

    Only, his family doesn't agree.

    Summary

    Tony and Peter’s winter trip to L.A. takes a sudden turn when an accident forces Peter to dive into the frigid ocean to save a drowning boy.

    Which wouldn’t be so bad, if only he could thermoregulate.

    Summary

    It's the smoke that wakes him, seeping into his apartment not ten minutes after he finally knocks off.

    He's off the couch in half a second, heart pounding with adrenaline, at the kitchen counter before he even realizes that the familiar smell in his nose is burning insulation.

    There isn't any alarm going, no sprinklers on, no neighbors screaming or doors banging open, but Buck knows.

    "9-1-1," says a vaguely familiar voice on the other end of the phone once he punches in the numbers. "What's your emergency?"
