    Summary

    Bobby is dead.
    Buck is left reeling in the wake of the loss.
    He's been having nightmares every night, but those dreams begin to change, morphing into a vivid labyrinth of 'what ifs'.
    When the dreams start to feel like a new reality, the waking world starts to look less appealing, causing Buck to wonder- would it be better if he didn't wake up?

    A coda-esque Buck crashout fic taking place in the months between s8 and s9
    Title from 'Flames' by Will Swinton (a very good and fitting song, might I add)
