Life-Saving Cardigans

Summary:

Buck never thought that his sister's habit of accidentally leaving her cardigan at his apartment—"Why do you have the thermostat so high, you can't actually be cold, it's Los Angeles!"—would save his life one day, but here he was.

Notes:

This fic can be read in two ways: video or transcript.

You can either watch the video, which is embedded at the top of the chapter, with a link underneath it if the embedded video is not working; or you can read the transcript, which is below the video.

You aren't missing any dialogue/text if you choose one form over the other, but I thought the video idea would be fun! But I also wanted to provide a text option for anyone who wouldn't be able to read from the video.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Video link if embed is not working/available.

Did I leave my blue cardigan at your place?


Buck

Wow, you’re gonna need to be way more specific
than that.

You have like 2000 cardigans.

sent

Are there 2000 cardigans in your loft that weren’t
there yesterday?

Or is there just the ONE that I’m missing???

Buck

Can you wait until tomorrow?

I’m already in bed.

I got off a 24 hour shift like an hour ago, I wanna
sleep.

sent

I have a date with Howie tonight!

I want it to be perfect and I set myself on wearing
the blue cardigan that I CANNOT FIND

I’m pretty sure I left it when I was last over

PLEASE check??

For me??

Buck if you went back to sleep I swear to god

Buck

Call 911

Someone broke into

2 people

3

sent

I’m on the phone with them now, are you safe?
Where are you?

Buck

Bathroom

Lights are off

Didn’t want to close and lock it in case they saw or
heard

They’re still downstairs

Hopefully they assume there’s nothing worth
stealing in the bathroom

sent

You said there are three people?

Do you recognize any of them?

Police are on their way

Buck

Maybe send rescue too

sent

Buck?!

Buck are you okay?!

Buck

So far just

Just in case okay?

I don’t recognize anyone

If they take my tv im gonna be so pissed

sent

Focus Evan!

Buck

Attempting to not panic here

Rather worry about my stuff than me right now

Fuck

They’re on the stairs

I love you

Mads I love you

sent

Buck?

I love you too

Please answer me

EVAN

I really hope you can at least see this

Police are almost there, one minute out

Evan please

Buck

I’m okay

Sorry, I uh, they found me

But Athena showed up with the cavalry before
things got bad

I’m being told you should probably meet me at
First Pres

I’M FINE, just need a few stitches

sent

Thank god

I’m on my way

Are you sure you’re okay?

Buck

Yeah, it could’ve been a lot worse

sent

That’s not comforting

Buck

Seriously, you saved me Mads

I can fight well enough but 3-on-1 odds is no fun

I do have bad news though

sent

What??

Are you okay???

Did something happen???

Buck

I found your cardigan.

sent

That’s great!

Buck

Not really

Unless you know how to get blood stains out of it.

It kinda broke my head’s fall on the coffee table,
so there’s that.

sent

If it protected you, that’s a better use of it anyway.

Buck

Sorry I ruined your date.

sent

Your safety will always come before my date night
fashion choices.

I’ll be at the hospital in five minutes

Buck

You better not be texting and driving.

sent

Howie’s driving

Buck

Oh man I double ruined your date, I’m sorry

sent

It’s not your fault someone broke into your
apartment

We’re both just glad you’re okay

I love you, little brother

Buck

Love you too Mads.

Notes:

Let me know what you think about the video format! I think I'm going to pursue doing more of these Text/Video fics in the future, they're a lot of fun!
